I was really impressed on alloys as even though i had cleaned them with bilberry the Iron X seemed to get a much better finish. Am waiting to order some Wolfs deironiser to try that out as well maybe do a side by side write up on them

no.. don't think you can dilute it... you'll only need to do it once though if you protect it afterwards

you'll be surprised when you use it on clayed paintwork how much it embedded filings it gets out... especially if the car has lived near a railway line

no.. its a one of treatment (i'd say yearly)... just like you would use clay really... but use it before you protect it obviously...

tfr, wash, clay, rinse, iron-x, rinse, wash, dry, polish, seal, wax etc

its a piece of piss to use... stinks worse than piss though.. the smell of iron-x is horrendous (but I kinda quite like it)  :laugh:

I would use it before the clay as it helps remove anything embedded in the paint before you hit it with the clay, this will help reduce the risk of marring the paint work.

Wolf's WF-1P Deironiser AKA Brake Duster is a very similar product guy's at a cheaper price. The beauty of Wolf's is that you can literally leave it to dry on your paintwork or alloys, come back whenever you want and pressure wash it off.

£8.95 for 1 litre - http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=WF-1P1

£39.95 for 5 litres - http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=WF-1P5

I'm afraid it cannot be diluted, but at that price who cares  :grin:

Then, once clean, use this each time you wash - http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=WF-1NT1

A wheel cleaner that adds protection why you clean  :smiley:
