I've been using Iron X decontamination and as well as wheel cleaner in order to keep my shelves simple.

and after countless stories about Sonax FE, I figured give it a shot.

My first experience?

It was meh.... more like.... terrible.... I made sure I spray on DRY wheels and color never changed, even on break rotors.

So I sticked to my good ole friend iron x and later on, I received sonax FE as free gift.

2nd bottle I received.... worked really well, color changed quickly, I washed wheels easily and I really enjoyed using it.

So I don't know what happened to my first bottle.... possibly I received bad batch? perhaps old one?

Has anyone have similar experience as me?

I have the same problem and was going to start a thread but I'll piggy back on yours. I bought the 5 liter SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect about 3 years ago. It worked fine for the first year and it suddenly stopped turning red when I used it on the same car. I have more than half of it left.

Glad I am not the only one with same issue.

I suspect shelve life, but let's see what other experts can tell us.

This is the first time I've heard of this happening. I contacted the experts as SONAX to see what they have to say.

to be clear, Mine was 16.9oz bottle, not gallon size.

and Thank you Nick for contacting SONAX for us.

I threw the old bottle out long time ago but i had this issue since I got it out of the box.

I just checked my order history and I ordered it on 10/28/2015
order ID W-998725

if this helps.

SONAX is stumped and so are we, but a new bottle is headed your way. If you want to add anything else since the shipping is on me, please send me a PM with anything you would like to include with the shipment.
