I wonder why the new DUB product smells so much better?

I have not had any filthy wheels to try it on yet. It is getting god reviews and its cheap

Sorry, I missed this. I don't think it was me you are thinking of, I wasn't aware of there being any silver or silver compound present...

I haven't seen an MSDS, nor have I tested the DUB product. Looking at the sheet for another one of Megs bleeding products (hot rims), the composition information indicates they use a slightly safer ingredient than Carpro, one which (in my experience) also smells better. In terms of content, they claim 10-40% so it could be as strong as IX but the physical data they provide indicates that it must be right at the bottom of that range so it is probably much less strong then IX. That is, of course, assuming that Megs haven't made a mess when quoting their product density on the SDS.

If you have an MSDS for the DUB product (I can't see one online), I'll look and might be able to tell you more about the difference in smell. That said, Carpro removed data sheets (seems an odd move!) quite some time ago so we have no idea how much the product has changed technically, in the last few years. They have certainly been through 2 new versions since they last released a data sheet online so I could be being unfair to Megs.

Be sure to check if the Kwazar sprayer doesn't have any metal parts that can be attacked by IronX.

The foaming tip will be useless for the job at hand.
