So I got my hands on a hood to do some testing with. I decided to test some waxes and sealants side by side. But before that you need to Decon right?

So I took 2 Iron removers and put them head to head. I believe if PBMG doesn't sell said item I can not say who it is, so I will be following the rules.

Sprayed Iron X on the left/ Brand B on the right. Brand B appears more foamy. I let it dwell for about 4-5 mins.

Now I agitated the products with a sponge.

Iron X:

Brand B:

Seems to be Brand B side of the sponge picked up more contaminants. And both sides honestly seemed to bleed the same. There was one section from the Iron X side that bled a lot from one little dot. But all else seemed even on the playing field. No clear winner yet.

So the I went back to see if I sprayed each brand on the opposite side to see if they cleaned up after each other.

As you can see the foamy section is now on the left side

(Brand B./ Iron X)

So conclusion?
I do not know, it seems both work really well, when shot on the other brands area it still did its job. Seems like we have a new contender that seems to work just as well as Iron X. The only real difference I saw was what the sponge picked up.

Waiting for a white car to come in a do another side by side.

Happy Detailing all

Same but like Iron X they also have a scented version. I just wear a respirator personally. Idk if the scented ones are as strong as the original or not, I would rather it work and be done.

Trix? (If I'm remembering correctly)...
It's one of those prepubescent-products.
