Your tests are very impressive and appreciative. I no longer find myself spending money on useless products. Thanks again.

Looking forward to the Fireball reviews!

This was a smart move for Meguiar's. I believe they are the only iron remover available on store shelves which is explicitly paint-safe. Eagle one had the plastidip stuff, and Megs had their Ultimate Wheel Cleaner - but I truly see this product becoming very popular. I will definitely get myself a bottle next time I see one. I am not so sure they were as precise and perfect in their choice of the other RTU products.. they are easily replaceable by other products on the same shelves in stores. The Citrus Power Cleaner may be useful, but probably not as unique as the paint-safe iron remover (and by unique I mean available in stores like autozone/pep boys). It definitely looks like it sprays much better than the Griots Iron Remover - which as much as I am a Griots fanboy absolutely sucks to spray onto the car.

I will pass on this one... thanks for the great review!

Thank you for explaining why it's important to use an iron remover before claying. I plan to clay my car soon and wasn't going to use an iron remover. I will now! I would have marred my paint otherwise.

For the most part, a very good video Brian & you clearly have an understanding of fallout removers which, no offence but most Americans have no clue about how they work or how they should be used. My only criticism of the video would be the unfair review of the product on the wheels. You obviously know fallout removers should be used on clean surfaces to allow the product full access to the embedded particles on the paint, leaving dirt/muck on there only hampers it's effectiveness. That's why you cleaned the car body right? The same philosophy applies to wheels, they are a painted surface after all. I don't think it was fair to conclude it hasn't been 100% effective on the wheels when the product was used with a barrier of dirt/brake dust in the way. That's why the Gyeon iron out was still showing quite a bit of purple after the wheels had been cleaned using the megs liquid clay & wheel cleaner. In summary, apply the same method you have for the car body to the wheels so clean them with a standard wheel cleaner, dry then hit them with the iron fallout, you'll get much better results 👍

I'm surprised that they haven't added the word "ceramic" to the product since every other meguiars product is named something ceramic.

Thank you Brian! It's always extremely nice of you to show how a Iron remover actually works! That nasty looking Benz! Is going to look like Brand New after you get done with it! Thanks again for another great video!

Thank You, The video convincingly told the story, and for now I’m keeping my protocol and products for decontamination.

Man, I've been really enjoying your content. You don't seem to BS or buy into hype. Keep it up!

I like the green rc car wheels in the backround at 3:11! 😆 I think I'll stick with a q.d. for lube and a dedicated iron remover. Thanks Brian!

Man, I really like your video's. Always straight forward and unbiased.

I really debate myself between clay bar first or after iron remover. When the car has never been clay bar’d (7/10 cars I see) I feel like the iron shards are hiding behind the thick syrup that is bonded contaminant. Adversely like you mention I don’t want clay bar to shear metal and pick it up and mar the paint unwittingly as I continue to clay. Even on 2020 silverados, the clay bars are filthy. On new paint!!

For me, I do a pre-wash, rinse, dry, spray with CarPro Iron X, rinse and re-wash with Iron X soap from CarPro and do a clay when needed. But I think when my bottles will be empty, try the Fireball product.

Carzilla, my go to! I work not far from them, well did until the lockdown. Amazing selection of products and fantastic staff.

It doesn't say 'Hybrid Ceramic' on the bottle. Sorry, I'm out. ;oD

Nice..it was definitely time for this car to have a proper bath👌🏼 I'm still on the fence with this one but..I do need more iron decon..😁

While D2002 is great for the DIY detailer, I'll stay with my D1801 Iron and Paint decon. Thanks for the review, I enjoy your videos!

Waterless wash works awesome for clay bar lube and also cleans off the surface well.

I was told by a Meguairs rep at the Workd of Wheels that this isn’t meant for use with a clay bar. Glad I didn’t buy it though after seeing your review. You need to try Iron Blaster from Malco! It’s the best I have tried. It’s $20 for 22 Oz. It’s very strong and smells worse then any other one I have tried but is far superior then the rest also. Just use outside! :) Would love your opinion on it.

I highly recommend getting a small pump sprayer. It goes on evenly, smoothly, and quickly.

This was super helpful for a newbie. Thank you!

Those wheels were really throwing a lot of brake dust, typical for the MB. But the D2002 did show the impact on the entire car, thanks for using a white car!

Love your videos bro they have helped me become one of the top detailers in my state

I’ve used it. Agree not as strong as Iron X or Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller Iron Remover. But, it’s available locally at Advanced Auto and other parts stores and it’s inexpensive. So I would use it again. It is really skinny when you agitate with clay or wash mitt. Agreed

Greta video Brian ,i think this product it’s made for the enthusiast more that a profesional use. Or maybe just for iron remover

I've got a new car with less than 1000 miles, so a milder iron remover is perfect for my needs. Meguiar's for me

Can I use it on a ceramic coated vehicle? Also does it damage ppf right? Thank you.

Hello I think you missed the point of the 2002. It was not intended to be used as a clay lube. It is to be sprayed on, wait 2-3 minutes, agitated with microfiber then rinsed off.

Hi we’re you still going to do the themed details like with Walmart products or was there not really enough interest in those videos? Thanks love the videos Also do you use gloss works for maintenance washes ?

Great review Brian!! Keep up the awesome reviews.

great vid brian...I too would pass on this...the megs ult wheel cleaner does a good job for less than half the price...I haven't used beasleys total decon yet....but it is supposed to remove almost all contaminants and lessen the need for claying...Jason(chi auto pros and luke Wilson - Wilson detailing) used it in a video...Jason liked it so much he began carrying it in his car supplies warehouse business....once warm weather is here t stay I plan on using the megs then follow up with the total decon to strip panels....then the f4 will go on be safe and well my friend

I have a Honda element that has large unpainted plastic panels. I'm concerned using an iron remover will discolor the panels. Any recommendations for that situation?

Should watched this before i purchased

Ok you say you are avoiding the “trim” and “glass” but not sure what trim you were avoiding but you sprayed the chrome handles and emblems. I used this on my F-150 and it dripped onto my chrome running boards (step) and etched them pretty good and I was in shade. Now I’m scared to use this product on my other vehicles because it’s hard to avoid getting it on the chrome..

Nice to hear that you bought some product from Carzilla. I buy all my detailing products from him. Chris is a great guy to deal with and he knows his stuff.

Why didn’t you do a second application of the Meguires to be fair? Or do one wheel with meguires only, and one with the fireball?

Those headlights are crisp

How would it hurt windows? Isn’t it just glass? I’m assuming you said that to avoid damaging seals around the glass.

I gave this stuff a try not long ago, and went ahead and used it as my clay lube with a synthetic clay puck. Id did pretty well from what I could tell but I wasn't sure at the time if that was the intention of the product. It claimed the sythetic clay can get sticky, but i didn't notice that with mine. Overall its not bad, you get more fl oz for the money with this one but its not as strong as other brands like ironx

I was in a rush so I had to buy this from Autozone thinking it was Meguiars version of IRON X from CarPro, Wish I would've watched this video or known this info before buying it. Great info thanks

What if it doesnt turn purple? That means that the car wasnt contaminent? Or the spray didnt do the work? The car was never spray with this before

Ty

I just bought a new (used) equinox, and after getting it home, I noticed something awful. Someone had left a box-cutter blade on top of the roof and it looks like it sat there and rusted. The blade was gone, but the outline and stain was so severe it looked like the blade was still sitting there. I used this D002 - it took 2 rounds and some elbow grease, but it did get the entire stain off, leaving the paint unharmed.

Fireball??? Something I would like to try. Thanks Brian.

Why not apply a second app on the car since it was required on the wheels? Or use the other product instead? If you still feel some contaminants, why wouldn't you versus dragging a wash mitt over them?

Can you recommend this to remove cooking grease from a kitchen exhaust vent being over car?

What is the best chemical decon in everyone's opinion? I've tried this but it's no better than several cheaper iron removers I've used. I'm looking for the best and keep spending money trying to find it. Thx 🍻

Hey Brian! You should try Optimum Ferrex with their clay towel or clay mitt. The great advantage of that combination is that you can do chemical AND physical decon in one step, since Ferrex can be used as a clay lube for the towel or mitt. You use a lot less product (only 2 sprays per panel and about 4 on the hood) as well as saving time, so moneywise this is unbeatable. A video of you in action about this could be real nice by the way! ;-)

Would be nice to see you rate say your top iron removers from best to lesser effectiveness. Ho doe Car Pro Iron X compare with all ones you worked with ? Another great video Brian. Love your white board explanation.

Thanks for the video! Does all that crap leaves spots on the ground by any chance? Once I used a wheel cleaner and it dropped on my driveway and left marks and never came off until I had a company come and clean it.

I'll pass on this as a wheel cleaner, and continue using Eagle One's A2Z All Wheel and Tire Foam Cleaner.for my chrome wheels.

Does this product remove ceramic coat? Or can i use it over the coat just to maintain?

on any of the synthetic clay pads would it be smarter to rinse them off with a iron remover to help them last longer or rid of any junk left in them?

Great video!

Thank you, Brian. Another good video. For a DIY guy who's not charging or trying to do a business, and who's basically just hooking up his friends on their 15 year old Mazda (or whatever), there is a difference between "best", "good enough", "bad". The question is, could I one step the iron removal and claying on an old car for free that is only going to look so-so anyway, or is that actually "bad", will I hurt the car? Thoughts?

Meguiar's D2002 Iron Remover Test. Did you try a second application of Meguiar's to see if it too found more iron? Did you try the other brand first and then hit that with Meguiar's? It would eliminate a few variables in your test. I found you while looking for Meguire's but will be watching a lot more of your videos.

Thank u

Does the smell still linger after you rinse it off?Should I do this at a coin car wash so my neighbors don't have to smell it and when I get home strip wash it and claybar it?

Brian, can you please leave a link for the rinse nozzle you're using? Thanks much!

Thanks for another great learning video for iron removal. I would like to what is your go to product for this. I would also like to know if it is better to rinse each panel when claying, versus drying it with a microfiber towel.

Nice job thanks

Thx Brian

So my brake pad failed on my truck and had to drive it till I got it home! Because there was no pad it was bare metal now I have rust spots on that side of my truck which truck is white in color and the brown rust spots are rigged on the paint looks terrible can anyone help with ideas really wanna fix this thanks !!!

Actually seems to work fairly well as an Iron remover.

great comparison and product review good friend. work as well as megs all wheel cleaner or eagle one plastic black wheel cleaner?hope u and family are safe and doing well...🍻🍻

Looks like a nice product.

Does it safe for ceramic coated car? Does it safe for plastic trim, chrome, headlights taillights?

Another fantastic vid. What is you're opinion on Nanoskin Iron Free? Stay safe. 👍

Can you tell me what I need to use to detail my own car? Just basics. I’m just starting out! Thanks in advance. I love your videos. Wish you were in Texas:)

Hi Apex Detail ! is it safe to use the meguiar's all purpose cleaner to clay bar the car ? can i spray from this product to do clay baring ??

Does it have time limit how long you can leave it on the paint before it can do damage and it safe on chrome or plastic trim?

Did u use iron remover on the wheels

What about inside the wheel? What about using wheel acid?

Should I always soap and wash my car after using this product?

Nice

hey brian please answer this question for me is glide worth buying for clay lube i am currently using onr in 32 oz bottle with half oz onr diluted with distilled water do you think glide will provide more lubrication then onr thanks for your time and skills

Oh shit APEX mentioned Carzilla!!! Love that company

I was thinking of picking this up to help clean wheels and decon the paint. But when I looked up on meguirers, it stated to not use on wheels hmm

sound similar to dj ferro lube when i was doing this , it dried quickly on sun. had to spray water

Excellent work and what did you coat it with

Possibly a Fireball Iron Burn vs Eagle One Iron Remover challenge and review?

Quick question, have you ever put seal and shine over a thick paste wax? Like a topper over carnauba.

Can I use it instead of clay bar for a brand new car?

Would this work to remove water spots as a spray on product?

what is the strongest iron remover?

Listen, I dont normally do reviews or anything like that but I had an issue with my G37 and I thought I was screwed.. with a capital F. Had issues with my brakes.. they were in dire shape, I ordered an upgrade online, brought to my mechanic and he told me they didnt fit. Ended up being that the caliper piston was stuck out of the hole a couple of mm. So I ran my brakes down to NOTHING while trying to figure out why the brakes listed for my g37xS didnt fit.. long story short.. rail dust or whatever you want to call it... literally over every last inch of my black beauty.. it was disgusting. Had a engine swap after it happened so I didnt have the car for a few months.. so it sat like that also. I came across an eagle 1 product for black and plastidip that contained an iron remover.. barely made a dent.. did some research and found the meguires wheel cleaner that has the iron decontam agent in it.. bought it off the shelf instantly. They only had 1. Caught THIS stuff out the corner of my eye.. almost 30 bucks in autozone.. bought this too. Now, to make this long ass story as short as possible... this shit saved my car. Didnt use any clay at all. I did 2 foot sections with this stuff.. removed and dried.. then repeated that section with the wheel cleaner stuff. I wish I could post pics here. I thought my paint was done. I really did. This and the other megs wheel cleaner saved my car. Took me all day doing it with large spray bottles bc we have no hose where I live... so I def put in quite a bit of elbow grease but at the end of the day, guys, this shit saved my baby. No doubt about it. Hmu if you want to see the difference pics I took yesterday

Would this be ok for matte finish wheels? If not what would you recommend?

I have a 2017 Ford Transit 350 with about an 18" roof above the windshield. Is it safe to spry this on and let it drip down the windshield ?

Hey Brian, any chance you would do a torture test between Fusso Coat and Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax?

I'll stick with Meguires Iron Decon at $35 gallon.

Accidentally let this dry and stick to my paint, left a haze behind after wash and dry. Meguiars customer support said I need to use their compound to remove it. Any other options/advice?

Have you used carpro iron x? This one is safe on plastics

Decent product but there is a few others that are more effective.Thanks Brian ✊💎

what if you use a normal car shampoo instead does it compare ?

Hi all, do these products remove wax/sealants?

Never mind...Fireball is too expensive. Meguiar's will work better!!!

Would you do review of CG Citrus Wash and Gloss? I see a lot of reviews, but the guys are NOT professional detailers.

What product would you coat the wheels with afterwords?

What do you think about sudzbox , 360 products and Nexgen?
