The DIY Detail Iron Remover is a popular choice for car enthusiasts looking to remove rust and iron deposits from their vehicles. I delve into what this product offers and why it might be a good fit for you below.
Effectiveness
Customers praise DIY Detail Iron Remover for its ability to effectively dissolve iron deposits. Due to the popularity of this item and DIY Detail in general, I knew I had to give this product a try.
The color change technology or Iron Remover makes this product easy to see where iron deposits are located on the vehicles surface and where more attention is needed during the decon process. With just a few sprays, the formula turns purple upon contact with these deposits, making it a breeze to target contaminated areas and know exactly when it is working. Personally I find that you might need a few more applications than some other iron removers on the market, but this product still worked pretty well on heavy buildups.
Usability
Another advantage of DIY Detail Iron Remover is its ease of use. The product comes in a spray bottle, allowing for direct application. The instructions are straightforward: spray on a cool surface, let it sit for a few minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. As mentioned above, you will notice the deep purple color when the formula is reacting with the iron deposits. I personally like to use this product to target problem areas and after it dwells on the surface, I follow up during my standard bucket wash.
Another huge advantage is overall work time. I have found some iron removers that do not work at dissolving iron deposits for that long, dry out quickly, or require multiple applications for a thorough cleaning. With this formula from DIY, I found that the work time is longer providing you with a more user friendly application process. The window to remove iron deposits and rinse off is longer than some other offerings, allowing you to avoid common issues during the cleaning process.
Safety
The manufacturer highlights that DIY Detail Iron Remover is safe for use on all painted surfaces, including wheels. This is a plus since some iron removers can be harsh on certain car finishes. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly after use, only apply to a cool area, out of direct sunlight and never let it dry on the surface.
Price
DIY Detail Iron Remover is available for around $20 in the 16oz size. This price point is consistent with the pricing of other iron removers available. There are a few at a lower price point, along with some at a higher price point, so DIY Detail Iron Remover is pretty much in the middle from other brands offerings in this space. With the quality of the item, you can consider it to be a good value for the money.
Overall
The DIY Detail Iron Remover seems to be a popular option for those looking for a user friendly and effective way to remove iron deposits from their vehicles. With the color changing technology and ease of use, this product is a strong contender for a spot in your detailing collection.
