No because you'd have to tape off your wheels weights every time you use ironx which would be a PIA ..

SONAX

SONAX
I'm not sure there is any real difference between iron-x and Sonax. In fact Sonax likely has additional ingredients to help with brake dust components in addition to the ferrous oxide. So why would iron-x affect wheel weights and Sonax would not?

sonax is a much better wheel cleaner.

for the weights all you really have to do is wipe them off with a detail spray after you finish up the wheels, if they don't stain doesn't come off you can use a light polish.

as well if you rinse well this will not happen.

What about using Sonax on body panels instead of IronX?

The SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect would be more effective on the wheels. Don't forget you can save 10% off with the code e90post if interested.
