2008 BMW Z4M Coupe
I can't believe I haven't posted in so long. This job is back from February.
I performed my Maintenance Package on this 2008 BMW Z4M for a client. This client emailed me about wanting a maintenance Detail on their vehicle. I informed them that this package is usually reserved for previous clients because of the cleanliness requirements (clayed vehicle). I figured worse case scenario I'd bring everything if it's too dirty and needs more stuff.
Products Used:
Wash
Wheels
Decontamination
Interior
Engine Bay
Notes
This was an eye opening experience for me about cleaning a clean car. I learned that it's difficult to make a clean car even cleaner and really focuses you as a detailer to focus on details more than the big picture.
Price: $155
Time: 3.5 Hours
Thank you for your business!
Iron x - http://www.amazon.com/Carpro-Iron-Remover-500-Ml/dp/B004UM6DLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407107216&sr=8-1&keywords=iron+x
This is the best product I've used for cleaning brake dust from wheels.
IronX will help with the removal of any Iron product on your wheels.
and some tools:
Rail dust from transport is very common on new cars and may or may not shot up as small orange specs. It can be removed with a clay bar as suggested, but whenever possible it's best to avoid physical contact with the paint. So in this case a chemical decon such as IronX would be your best bet. And a bonus, it has a unique smell.
I would say yes. A lot of new cars have rail dust all over them. You would be surprised if you sprayed [Iron X] (http://www.amazon.com/Carpro-Iron-Remover-500-Ml/dp/B004UM6DLE?ie=UTF8&keywords=iron%20x&qid=1462388930&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1) all over the car how much iron contaminates will be in the paint. Its not worth the risk of polishing with a car that is contaminated. Its not too much work to clay if you use a nanoskin sponge or wash mit.
My parents' neighbor has been watching as I borrow Mom and Dad's hose and he recently asked if I could take on his car and I was happy to oblige! Overall, the exterior was in okay shape - couple bugs, a few spots of tree sap and bird poo, as well as just a good amount of dirt and mud tucked in some spaces. I gave the car a two bucket wash,
clay, Iron X treatment,Iron X, clay and topped it off with a sealant. Thanks for pointing out that I listed my procedure out of order, /u/Deadfable! Here's the deets:Products Used:
0000 Steel Wool from Home Depot (used with QD for the exhaust tips)
Overall a fun job! Got rewarded with a hearty lunch of sausage and peppers on Italian bread. Happy detailer!!
Not too sure if it is. I use CarPro Iron X and that is sade for painted surfaces and your wheels: Carpro Iron X Iron Remover 500 ml with Sprayer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UM6DLE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_H1QPCb6ZNA286
I thought about having the whole car repainted or trying to do the clear myself. I know if I reclear it, it wont look right. Its that Night Hawk Black from honda with the blue flake in it. Super pretty color :( I live in Ohio, but this car has ZERO rust other than one fender that got bent up from a blowout. Most rust is on edges in the underside and on brackets under the hood.

This is the stuff right?
You could try Iron X http://www.amazon.com/Carpro-Iron-Remover-500-Ml/dp/B004UM6DLE Or similar products.
/r/AutoDetailing would be a good place to ask too, I would for see some answers would be what /u/LexusBrian400 has already said, plus;

Iron X
That's just off the top of my head.
I love it. Spray it on, rub it in with my spoke brush, and power wash it off. The wheels come out perfectly clean.

I somehow didn't run notice any of those...just got the regular one. Can't imagine how cherry or lemon could help the scent lol.

So I am looking into buying some detailing supplies for doing wheels and was hoping someone could look over this list. It is probably overkill, but I would rather have everything I need I think.
Brushes
ABN Wheel Whoolies
Boars Hair Detail Brush Set
Mothers Wheel Brush
Cleaners
Iron X
Meguiars Hot Shine Gloss Tire Spray
Meguiars D101 APC
The total comes out to $113 but I figured I would only be buying most of these items once so it will be worth it. Also this list doesnt even have any sort of sealant so not sure if I should buy one of those also?
Hello! I bought a new car a little over a month ago and I wanted to do some basic cleaning with it, stuff that can be done maybe a couple times a month, since I never personally did that with my previous car.
Anyways, I live in SoCal so I'm trying to keep water usage to a minimum. This is my current "to-purchase" list that I'd like to buy soon;
ONR
iK Sprayer
Iron X
TRC Creature Edgeless 10pack
Mother's Tire Brush
ABN Wheel Woolies
Stoner's Reach Tool
Already have: Stoner's Invisible Glass, Costco multipack MF towels.
Will I still want to get a clay bar + wax for after washing, or is just washing every so often enough?
Thanks Popkins. I was confused because carpro 's site Click Herestates as such but Amazon specifically warns against Click Here using it on chrome & bare medals.
Unfortunately car care can be somewhat expensive when you use the right products. I have a 2013 EX in SWP, so my garage is full of detailing products. Polishes, sealants, cleaners. You name, I've probably got it.

Time wise if it’s what I think it is hard to say, Few weeks to a month maybe?
As I say if it’s what I think it is, it’s ‘hot’ metal that’s landed on the glass from an angle grinder or welding spatter.
You should be able to improve on it with something like the below to remove the ‘rusting’ of the particles, but if damage has been done to the glass you won’t fix that.

You can use Iron X followed by a clay bar.

go check out /r/AutoDetailing for more info.
Pick up some of this
It smells absolutely awful but it will remove the iron deposits in the paint and wheels and leave a cleaner surface to work with. I would clay bar the paint after as well. It sprays on clear and turns purple when it is working. Well worth the price especially since you can use it to remove brake dust from your wheels during washes.
white is one of the easiest to keep clean.
get some iron and fallout remover https://www.amazon.com/Carpro-Iron-Remover-500-Ml/dp/B004UM6DLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475084116&sr=8-1&keywords=carpro+iron+x
and go visit r/autodetailing and get acquainted with the two bucket wash method.
I don't think that is brake dust, it looks like anti-seize to me. Some old school mechanics use it on lug nuts so they are easier to remove, but it sure looks like they used a ton of it. If that is the case I'd pull the wheel, clean the lugs, let them dry and retorque the wheels.
As far as cleaning of the wheels, I'd give a go at Sonax FE or I think an Iron-X would do it as well paired with a light brush. A lot of the vendors sell lug brushes.
Grab some Iron-X. While you're at it, clean that chain (you can use chain cleaner or kerosene) to get a few more miles out of it.
Definitely give Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner a try. I have had amazing success with this stuff. It will turn from green to red as it is working and breaking down iron particles and break dust.
Also, you can give either CarPro's Iron-X or TRIX (Tar and Iron Remover) a try.
Honestly, by looking at the picture, the Sonax should clean up the break dust and those streaks. Just let it sit on the wheel for a couple minutes and agitate it with a brush. I use this brush to get in behind the spokes as well.
As far as keeping brake dust from accumulating as quick, I'm not sure if there's really a remedy. You can wax your rims, there is stuff out there specifically made for rims, but I've never used it, so I'll let someone with experience speak on that. However, I read the other day someone used Collinite #845 Insulator Wax on their rims (same wax I use). I may give this a try next time I wash the car and see if it helps control the brake dust.
