--- End quote ---

I did exactly this (minus tardis as there were no tar spots) on 4 bare Monza 18's. Took quite a long time. I didn't polish them either.

I put on 3 coats of FK1000p. This was a month ago and I washed my wheels for the first time yesterday. What little brake dust there was washed off so easily with a little shampoo.

Odd about iron-x. Have used it on the pescaras without a problem. Ditto with bodywork. Wonder Wheels and Hot Rims both need dliuting down as they're far too potent.

Tardis is great at removing tar spots before claying. Otherwise claying with shove the tar about and inflict damage on the paintwork.

vRS Carl:
I Iron-X'd the paint today on a BMW I'm detailing. Was perfectly fine and pulled quite a lot of fallout off it. I just do one panel at a time. Spray with PW, Spray Iron-X on, leave a couple of minutes, PW off, wash with car shampoo and wash mitt (have a separate mitt for this) then PW rinse and move on.

Probably overkill but better to be safe with it.

greygti:
Iron X'd plenty of wheels and car body's this year for my customer's without 1 single problem,used it the other week on my dads brand new 120D M sport without a 2nd thought, it actually says on the bottle its clear coat safe for wheels and bodywork

CarlW:
What products are a must?

Such as:
Shampoo's
Polish
Paint renovater
Detailing spray
Tyre gels,sprays etc
Wheel cleaners
Tar removers
Clay bars
Pads
Cloths
Towels
And anything else you can think of?..

I'm personally interested also cause I literally have no idea of which products do what and what brands do the best jobs without damaging your paint work.

I know shampoo is a must as fairly liquid is a big no no.. And therefor should be one of or if not the first product to by? But which brands etc as there is so much choice it's hard to choose and its not exactly cheap so some suggestions or a poll for a starting package could be a good idea? Specially for people like myself who are buying these products for the first time and then when we have a basic starting package and learn more as we go along we can add the next step stages to our collection..
