Great video! For anyone curious to know how long it last, I got Carpro TriX which is ironX and a bug/tar remover in one. I used almost 3/4 of a regular 16oz bottle to do my 4 door, mid-sized sedan. The nature of the product just requires you to use it liberally so for the cost, just know you'll want to use it only when absolutely necessary (like claying) and may want to purchase in bulk.

I’ve never used this before. It’s crazy how effective it is!! Great video. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate how succinct your videos are. Thank you!

listening to you in 1.5 speed is insane! Love the content!

Great video man, and great explanation

Damn dude that closing was well put together!

It doesn’t take bugs off...it reacts with iron that is in the steel , typically from brakes and brake linings and bit of steel particles from snow plows...

In general, clay barring could potrentially scratch the clear coat, so to minimise this, it is recommended that you chemically decontaminate the paint with CarPro’s Iron X and/or Tar X, before clay barring. As you’ve shown in your video here, Iron X chemically reacted to the industrial fallout and got rinsed away with water, but if you hadn’t done that, and clay barred the paint first, the clay bar would have picked up the fallout/contaminants and caused more marring on the paint! That’s definitely not what you want, unless you were going to correct the paint to begin with.

How did you use this product on the wheels and deal with overspray on the rotors? after I used this the rotors just looked super rusty. But then again I am starting off with detailing cars...tips would be appreciated. keep up the videos!

Been using meguirs iron remover and eagle one iron remover..both were great aswell

Cool 😎👍👍I love all your videos..

Great content. Thank you. Do you Jake any videos on how to detail/ protect a new car?

For those who say Iron X is expensive. If you check out the SDS for the other cheaper chemicals you may notice that they will have less of the active ingredient that makes the purple color. Also you can dilute Iron x if you like and make the product go further.

correct iron x says 25-30% while megs ultimate wheel says 1-10%. Sonax says 10-15%. Ironx is roughly $1 per ounce and megs is roughly $0.40 per ounce. Depending on their exact percentages they could be about equal in cost vs chemical percentage. Or Iron X could be the better deal. But not by much. My local Walmart had megs for $8 a bottle for some time which made it a better deal. But its close enough to say they are roughly the same.

Fantastic stuff

Hi. Will iron x alter the finish of the paintwork after use ??

I’m trying to decide between Car Pro, CG, and Optimum iron removers. But I noticed how liberally you used this product. About how many vehicles does one bottle last you? TIA

Great stuff Car pro makes it as a foam as well. Maybe compare the two?

How long does the smell linger after rinsing, and will that smell linger inside the car whilst driving? I know people say this is pretty bad smelling. Just curious.

If I’m just adding a product like meguiars hybrid ceramic or p&s bead maker do I need to use a iron remover and clay bar

Really confused between Tar - X and Iron - X which one to use first ?

Thanks for video. I have been using many other iron removers for years and years. Still have not tried Iron -x because just seems way too much $ . Have you used other iron removers? Cheers 🍻

Definitely is a good method. In my "personal" opinion I think that a good wash, iron remover and then a rinse less/quick detail with a ay bar after is like the best combination but definitely more pricey to charge unless you have a specific package for it. Because I'm fairly cheap with my details since it's more of a side hustle and hobby business so I charge 10 for the iron remover, 15 for a clay bar and an additional 5 for wax (liquid wax). Haven't had any issues using that combination and highly recommend it guys 👌🏼

In my opinion...meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner is a more cost-effective product to use if you are using a lot...costs $8 right now at my Walmart...foaming trigger so it dwells on the surface longer...and cheaper...just my opinion...iron x or products like it are definitely a must have in your arsenal!

By using Optimum No Rinse in the damp microfibre stage you are adding a layer of either wax, or polymer sealant to the surface of the vehicle (depending on which Optimum No Rinse you used) so you don’t have a ‘blank canvas’ on which to add the sealant. I hope you either used a solvent based panel prep?, or a one stage polish type stage? to get the surface prepped for the application of the sealant? 🤔

If you washed the vehicle why did you not get all the bugs off? If you foam a vehicle and contact wash it all bugs should be gone if you use a good soap. Don't understand why bugs still exist. After washing my truck I never have any bug guts left on the surface whatsoever.

Those Ben Shapiro public speaking classes are really paying off.

People making many of these videos go way overboard using too many products to get good results. Rise vehicle, foam vehicle, rinse vehicle, hand wash vehicle, clay bar vehicle, wash vehicle, wax or seal vehicle....perfect results. Unless you need paint correction in which case polish with a DA after clay baring it. Way too many products out there you don't really need to clean and protect your vehicle.
