    so....opinions needed.
    I have been using FE and CWC to clean up wheels. But, after I clean all the wheels, arches, body and then begin applying Iron Cut to the body, I usually spray some of it on the wheels too. Wouldn't you know it, but IC generally finds more iron particles and starts bleeding red. The first time, I thought it was a fluke but this has happened time and again.

    Should I skip FE (its getting about time to reorder) and just go with IC from the beginning on wheels? Also, why is FE not getting all the iron? I let it dwell for 5-8 minutes depending on the outside temp. TIA.:thumb:

    Given the price of Sonax vs IronX, I would use whatever wheel cleaner you like and then use IronX to touch them up.

    I think the whole idea of Sonax FE is to have 2 products in one - wheel cleaner and iron remover...now with that said, it works just as well as 1 step leather cleaner/conditioner - it does the job well done, but not quite as good as 2 step cleaner and conditioner...

    Iron Cut always turns red.
