Maark, I dont think so. It is an AIO of IronX and Tar X. Corey can give you the definitive answer!

it stinks even worse if you leave it in a hot area and it leaks out the sprayer.....and just so happens to be inside your car....

Yuck! :D


I got to use it on a white car this weekend and even after claying the entire car, IX still did its thing and impressed my family in the process. Oh and they were also grossed out by the smell.

Can you elaborate a little? Do you think it is not a replacement because it is better than Trix at removing iron or because there will be times when you don't want/need the strength or a tar remover?

I'm not disagreeing with you just curious on your thoughts. As a weekend guy having both products in one seems like a great value so why keep IronX around?

:iagree: Maybe I'm missing something, but TRIX seems like it would cut down the amount of time prepping (one-step vs two) and as we all know, time is money.

Maybe you have a newer version? Mine stinks. It's about 6 months old.

I asked Avi the same thing in my TRIX review Q&A and he said it is not replacing IX.

Exactly like you said, sometimes you only need an Iron Remover. For removing Iron the IX series of products is excellent.

They are definitely different products with different high points and both IX series and TRIX will continue to be available.

What about the warning about not using on chrome wheels, calipers or wheel weights. Had any issues there?

I have Trix and like it. OTOH, I've never used IronX. The more important question to me is, if Trix does the exact same thing as IronX AND removes tar too... Why buy IronX? What's the advantage of IronX?
