New Bits

Ordered some new pads for the DA and a new drying towel. Also going to try out Iron-X on the wheels as I've got some stuff stuck to the inside of the offside front that I can't get off??

Nice list Matt, just been in garage looking how old some of my stuff is think I need to do some saving and get some new stuff. What's Iron X? Is it a non acid based wheel cleaner?

CarPro - Iron X
This is a highly effective, acid-free and pH balanced (6_7pH) car paint, wheels & glass cleaner (safe for all wheels including aluminum and alloys). CarPro Iron X is effective and safe for use on all car surfaces and will not deteriorate clear coats.
Airborne chemical compounds and ferrous particles - particles containing iron - actually penetrate the paint and create corrosive compounds that eat deep into the paint's sub-layers or paint’s pin-holes. This is a gradual process that often is not evident until it's too late. Claying or polishing only removes the particle, not its effects, which are continuing to spread beneath the surface. During the use of your vehicle, brake dust and road grime become sintered to the surface of the car paint, rims and wheels due to the high temperature conditions they are normally exposed. Brake dust contains high levels of iron and once sintered to the rim, becomes extremely difficult to dissolve or remove without the use of harsh chemicals.
CarPro - Iron X opens up the paint's pores to release ferrous particles and to neutralize caustic compounds that have developed in the paint's subsurface. Ongoing damage is immediately stopped and future damage is prevented by removing the ferrous particles.
CarPro - IronX sprays on as a thick, transparent, as the cleansing liquid begins to work into the dirt and grime, the formula begins to turn purple/ red. The purple/red coloration is the Iron-X Cleaner forming a bond to the sintered iron on the car paint and wheel and changing its state to a water soluble complex for easy removal. Stubborn, baked on grime may take a small amount of agitation.
Rinse car paint and wheels thoroughly with a power washer and wipe dry.

Well after over a month, the weather is looking good for the next two days, and I'm off work, so will finally be able to give them a go.

I've got this week off too, going to spend it at my mates body shop to tidy some bits up 🙂

Matt

I really need to sort the wheels out, I'm going to be taking them off and giving the insides a good going over after using the IronX on them.
