3D BDX vs. CarPro IronX

**SYMAWD** · 12-07-2015, 05:06 PM

I had some very dirty Audi wheels and wanted to compare the performance of these products using no agitation and only a hose. Truthfully, just car shampoo and a brush could have cleaned these wheels, so this is testing cleaning power more than actual iron decontamination.

BDX took longer than IronX to react and therefore has more "during" pictures.

The bottom half of the IronX wheel was slightly cleaner than the BDX wheel, but the BDX had a more uniform performance indicating that IronX likely ran down the top of the wheel more easily leaving the top half dirtier than the BDX wheel.

Deos that bdx or iron x stain concrete driveway or pavers.when I pull up to detail a car and the driveway has pavers or a immaculate concrete driveway ,the very first thing that comes to mind is not to detail on the property.

One would certainly think not, but I'd be interested in hearing the answer too, as this has always been my first thought when looking at this type of product.

I think it would especially on concrete driveway.

It does not stain, but if you're concerned just rinse it away as it drips off the wheel.

i assume you just ran free flowing water over the wheels to rinse?

I had a nozzle on the hose set to "jet", but no serious pressure.

I was just curious BDX was the only product of that type that actually left the wheels clean after hitting them with my nozzle set to jet. No agitation.

Here it is on a less dirty set of Audi wheels (nothing like employee leases). It performed pretty much equally to the other product except when bought in gallons, one of them makes a lot more financial sense.
