Iron x

Is there a cheaper substitute for Iron X?
Anybody?

They are all about the same. £9.95 for 500ml (from cleanyoucar.co.uk) isnt bad, thats more than enough for a car or 2 and you only need to use it once a year.

I know some people use it as a wheel cleaner, but its too harsh, its a one hit product. Use it once to clean the wheels right up, then seal the wheel and use a proper wheel cleaner from then on.

There is Wolfs Chemicals version, which is £10 for a litre, but i dont think its quite as good and there are a number of different versions out there, its hard to tell which your getting.

I was thinking of the similar cleaners that are available from Tesco,s, Christian, you,ve mentioned them before

Iron X cost me £16 including postage which is a bit expensive,,so a cheaper of the shelf alternative will do

Im not aware of an own brand equivalent of Iron-X.

Ive used both IronX and Wolfs Deironiser and without doubt IronX in my opinion is alot better.

Wolfs does smell a bit better though

Bilt Hamber Korrosol is better

rovexCDTi · 29th November 2012, 18:48

It certainly smells better, but i dont think it works any better. Seems cheaper though if you can find it.

I do fear people are over using these products though, i used it once in mid 2011 and it clearly did something and then again in spring this year, with almost no reaction.

Bilt Hamber Korrosol.. if you want the bleed as thats what puts the prices up.

Korrosol is waterbased so very safe on your trims etc.

No need to agitate if you dont wish thats something looked into for Korrosol.

If your not bothered about the bleed then normal fallout remover could be found for under £20 for 5 litres i think.

They will most likely be acid based but lots of products are often acid.
