Which Fallout Remover?

[Jason]

Haven't been in Jim McFadden's Spar shop for years. Even when I was in it as a kid I remember him stocking all these random things. Seems like not much has changed!

Jim's passed away just Tim now but yea its a proper wonder store

Good to know....loved the glimmerman shampoo and the snow foam.

ValetPro Dragons Breath still the best?

Hoping to order a 500ml bottle of something today - importantly - one that is safe to use on both body and wheels and one that produces the purple highlight on effected areas. Was swaying towards 50Cal based on some reviews...

I have the 50cal stuff, doesn't have much purple colour to it when in use, but I don't know if thats because there's not much iron fallout on the wheels, or if it's not designed to have as much of the bright purple, or if it's just not as good as others. I have no other products to compare it with, so I'm sticking with it until it's all done.

I've been using Devils Blood from eBay. Seems grand. I had one before that was a combined tar remover/IronX mix. Worked really well. Everything just dissolved away.

Used Autosmart red7 seems a good product and not overly expensive.

A mix of both would be ideal! Although would need the iron fallout remover all over and only really need he tar spots around the wheels arches so not the end of the world. Handy though!

Gtechniq iron fall out remover for me. I love it.

Used the Fireball Ultimate Iron Burn for the first time recently and it was great, doesn't smell as bad as some of the others I have used.

Have some of the new Autobrite Purple Rain coming in, which apparently now has some fragrance added. Good news because it reeks! Lol

Went with Auto Finesse in the end - looks great in YouTube demonstrations and comforting that @big_pete recommended it a few comments up. £11.94 on eBay.

What size @markboyle

 

[big_pete]

It's very good to be fair

 

[Topmark]

What size @markboyle

500ml. The seller is called DetailedClean.

@big_pete would auto F be better than Gtechniq? I need to order some as I run out today.

 

[big_pete]

They are on par. Dragons breath is.also very good

Carpro iron x is fantastic. Autosmart red 7 also works well and is alot more economical

 

[J55NI]

@big_pete Are these all safe for bodywork and wheels? (polished wheels as well ). Could you also recommend a good tar remover? Does it matter which order you use them in ?

 

[Topmark]

@RMS Jonny I ordered the Autoglym one, was well priced at around £6, will probably use it in the next week so will report back. Looks good on YouTube reviews tbf.

For tar remover you will be hard to find better than @Big Pimp tarminator.

Red7 is technically a wheel cleaner, though does does have fall out remover properties not quite as good as a specific fallout remove in imo.

Autosmart fallout remover (possibly others too) can damage badges etc if not careful, noticed a few Range Rover badges the clear lift on them, but then again they aren't the best of quality to begin with but at £50+ for a badge its worth making note lol

Used Auto Finnesse Iron Out today. I found it great, worked brilliantly. Stank, but not too bad. Clay barring now, my arm is sore!!

Bare polished or diamond cut with clear?

Safe in body and wheels. I would usually use fall out remover, foam/rinse/dry then Tar remover, foam rinse, then clay.

Claying isn't something you want to be doing overly often though, keeping on top of contamination with fall out remover and tar remover is much better.

@Big Pimp tarminator is what we use at the shop
