Elite Car Care (http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/index.php?manufacturers_id=66&osCsid=ec646c1e6d5d091063040295982f1728)
You can also buy pouches/refills.

+1 for elite

As above, hoping to pop down to see Alex on Friday to pick up a 1 litre pouch and some other goodies.
-
I got mine from CYC (Clean Your Car) but they dont appear to do the refills.
-
Make sure you get the new cherry scent one as the old one stunk like when it was working :sick: I got mine from CYC iirc
It is very good stuff and i used it on my wheels recently. Be very careful though as it can strip paint from stuff like smart repairs, blow ins, brake calipers etc.
-
Got mine yesterday along with lots more from Elite car care too.
Very straight forward internet site to use
Also if you need to speak to him, hes really help full

The new stuff doesnt smell any nicer, believe me. Also, my driveway stinks of it 2 weeks later as well. :grin:

+1. It's like trying to disguise a wet fart with perfume. It just makes it smell more revolting IMO.
-
I have the new one and it smells better to me. I think it smells a lot better tbh.
-
So Carl likes the smell of wet farts... :confused: :scared:

:signLOL: you must have met my mother in law! But seriously, just had my wheels referb'd and painted about a month ago, is IronX ok for me to use? :happy2:

You shouldn't need to use IronX if they just been painted - just seal them well before they go on the car

Good isnt it?? All those little black specks that you thought you couldnt get off..... Ironx makes sure they come off :-)
-
I didnt think the wheels looked that bad until I used this stuff :scared:
-
I find I get better results if i clean the wheels first and then use Iron-x on the clean wheel. I was amazed at how much crap was on what I thought (and to the naked eye) were clean wheels.
I haven't done mine now for over a month but I did seal them all with FK1000p so when I do my 3 day detail in a couple of weeks it will be interesting to see how the wax has held up.
The will be getting stripped back and C5 applied though.
-
What about if you have Gloss Black alloys?
-
It still works Steve. It's just you won't readily see the iron deposits without getting really close or running your fingers over them.
I've seen a couple of threads over on Detailing World were people have used it on GB Alloys.
-
Steve, the iron particles are still there and can still marr a beautiful finish. Admittedly, they will be more visible on lighter coloured wheels.
I used iron-x on my DBP car and couldn't see any purple reactions. It was only when I rinsed the car down did I notice that the rinse water was purple!

Black wheels
