Does IronX go bad?

[Texchappy]

Had a tiny bit of IronX left over from when I used it on a used car I bought about three years ago. I tried it on my wife's brand new Lincoln and my new to me '08 MINI; neither showed any color change. It doesn't help that both are black.

It would be a good sign if both are iron-contaminant free but before I accept that (or have to buy more IronX) I want to see if it's possible that what I have isn't just 'bad'.

Did you use it on the wheels?

If you have any left, try it on the rims. It'll show if you have silver rims.

I bought a big jug of the original Iron-X when it came out and it works just fine. And it has been kept in a cabinet in my garage, not in the house.

And it hasn't lost any of it's terrible stink either. But it sure does a great job of removing rail dust on a cars surface.

Ordered some Ferrous Dueller to give it a go. Maybe out here in a West Texas we doing have much industrial fallout.

I actually tried a recommendation to dilute some and it did in fact work. So I do not know about it going bad, but maybe it could or just lose strength overtime?

Do you have any more of the old bottle left?

Not sure if it goes bad or not but I do know that you're not gonna see any color change on a black vehicle.

Maybe just do a quick test spot on one of your wheels. Or maybe do a spray on a random white vehicle in a parking lot, lol
