ππ§ͺ IRON FALLOUT REMOVER vs NORMAL WHEEL CLEANER β WHATβS THE DIFFERENCE? π§Όπ
They both clean wheels, but theyβre designed to tackle different types of contamination. Knowing when to use each can make wheel cleaning much easier!
π§Ό NORMAL WHEEL CLEANER
Think of this as your everyday wheel cleaning product.
A good wheel cleaner is designed to loosen and remove general surface contamination such as:
βοΈ Road grime
βοΈ Traffic film
βοΈ Dirt & mud
βοΈ Greasy deposits
βοΈ General wheel grime
Spray it on, agitate with your wheel brushes where required, then rinse thoroughly.
For regularly maintained wheels, this will often be all you need. π
π§ͺ IRON / FALLOUT WHEEL CLEANER
This is where products such as Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller come in.
Iron fallout removers are specifically formulated to react with ferrous/iron contamination β particularly the tiny metallic particles produced by brakes that become embedded in your wheels.
π£ Thatβs why you see the famous PURPLE reaction!
The colour change isnβt just there to look cool for Facebook. π It shows the product reacting with iron contamination and helping dissolve it so it can be rinsed away.
Itβs particularly useful for:
π Heavily contaminated wheels
π£ Embedded brake dust
β¨ Deep wheel cleans
π Vehicle decontamination
π§½ Preparing wheels before polishing or protection
π€ SO WHICH SHOULD YOU USE?
Regular maintenance wash?
π Reach for your normal wheel cleaner.
Wheels covered in stubborn brake contamination?
π Bring out the iron fallout remover.
And occasionally you may need both.
Start by removing the normal road grime with your regular wheel cleaner, then use an iron remover when required to attack the embedded ferrous contamination left behind.
π‘ DETAILING TIP: You donβt necessarily need an iron remover every single time you wash the car. Save it for when the wheels actually need deeper decontamination.
π§Ό Wheel Cleaner = everyday dirt & grime
π£ Iron Fallout Remover = embedded ferrous contamination
Now you know why detailers have shelves full of products that apparently βall do the same thing.β ππ
