    Iron cleaners...

    After reading and researching iron removers for paint, I'm not finding much info or reviews for sonax fallout cleaner. What do you guys think and how does it compare to others such as iron x?

    I'm following the paint decontamination thread and the others seem more wheel related while I'm interested in how it stacks up against products such as iron x on paint. Only found one actual testing review with it on paint and it got excluded after it wasn't changing colors after 7 minutes. But there's always the bad apple. I started a thread recently and was recommended using an iron remover for the issues I was facing and after researching this is one I'm interested in but can't find much info on it specific to what I'm looking to do(remove "rust dots" from white paint). Thx

    I'm following the paint decon thread. But I'm just not finding reviews related directly to what im looking to do(remove "rust dots" from white paint), while most threads seem wheel related. The thread testing it I did find excluded it from further testing after it didn't change colors after 7 minutes. But there is always the bad bottle or batch with any product and it's hard to base it off of one bad review.

    Iron X is considered to be one of if not the best so why not just get that?

    Some of those reviews warned of letting it dry on paint and that in certain climates it would dry extremely quick even in shade. Looks like I may be going with iron x anyways. Just trying to make sure I'm choosing best option for this style of product.

    Adam's makes one that performs just as well as Iron X and is a bit cheaper and thicker so it doesn't dry as quickly. It's their deep wheel cleaner, but is 100% paint safe.

    Thanks this is the info I was looking for. I'll look into it. What about the dub wheel cleaner? Considering I bought out a few advance stores when it was $5 a bottle(paint safe?)

    There is no problem if ironX dry over the surface for short time,
    just make sure to rinse or wash well after.
    we say that as a precaution measure . the idea is not to leave it for very long time over the surface. like any chemical which you wont leave to dry for long time.

    IronX is the best overall for sure.

    If the directions are followed it's hard for it to dry......Iron-x works very well.
