Frankly, if anything, this thread has showed me that based on my needs and what I uderstand about the products, I should just stick to brake buster and just keep my IronX as a dedicated decon...

Interesting it does seem then like a combination of both a wheel cleaner and iron remover but it still seemed to struggle there.

Okay so the IronX type products are low pH ~ 7 compared to Brake Buster pH 11, so on that alone brake buster has better cleaning ability IMO. But I dillute it 1:4 so... not sure how the ph works out...

Used to use this product (consumer version) before haha before dwelling into other products.

But this doesn't really answer the main question, now that you present this product, for example how...

I really don't want to change my cleaning product I like ONR. I just want to know if IronX does what brake buster does basically as good or better (except the rust inhibitor).

Yeah the topic kinda went offtopic here... but yeah even with the hydroshot I rather not get my driveway all icy either. That's why I use the coin wash to pre-prinse the car and clean wheels, then I...

I've never heard of the rust dust being an issue. I have not experienced the same issue as you even though I use brake buster 1:4, the rotors still become rusty.

Oh right ok gotcha, yeah, the touchless washes are just for like maintenance/upkeep I'd say.

Yes but that feature is a gimmick because the rust is removed by simply braking. I have a BMW with...

Interesting others are saying agitation is definitely gonna be needed.

Yeah the rust inhibitor is quite a gimmick, rust goes away when using the brakes so.

They're already protected with sealant but next year I am going the coating route for the whole car.

From a power perspective though which one works best? For example I'm starting to want to do touchless wheel washes.

Usually in the sumemr my wheels are also cleaned often, full car cleaned every week but yeah iinter since it's other wheels and winter, usually try to clean the car once per month. I didn't think...

I am trying to gauge which one sits higher or if there is one better than the other.

For example I have both Brake Buster and CarPro IronX. Is IronX on it's own good enough as a cleaner for...

Hey I am slowly gravitating my detailing arsenal to Carpro and I just picked up Inside as my interior cleaner. I was still debating on either getting a APC that can be used inside, engine bay etc vs...

Yeah, which is why though I expect opti seal to apply much better than a thicker liquid. Also read some good stuff on people who actually applied it at freezing temp so I'm looking positive for that....

Honestly I want nothing to do with SIO2 products as I've read it will make your towels useless over time (they won't absorb).

Any experience with it's durability?

I used Jescar Powerlock for my base lsp and used the beadmaker as a drying aid/topper when drying my weekly washes but now I am looking at switching to opti seal to replace the powerlock.

The...

Interesting. I love PERL smell and also I figured at 1:5 it wouldn't be to shiny considering 1:1 isn't that shiny on tires.

Okay yeah, anyway PERL should last a nice time like a month I assume since it's on the inside.

I am switching my product regiment up a little bit and I'm replcaing my powerlock with some opti seal. I also learned opti seal can be applied to the interior but I planned to use PERL for that...

Ohh I was thought and read that decontaminating paint before LSP helps make it last the longest?

Just worried if I don't clay power lock won't last through winter?

I don't I'll do a polish until I move out into my own place where I can use the garage year round. At the moment I can spot some swirls in certain lightning but not a whole lot, still looks real good...

No I sold my cheap DA after I had corrected my paint beginning of summer. So it's why I'm looking for a clay that's goanna marr the less.
