Iron Wash

Removes metal particles with purple “bleeding” effect, ideal for wheels.

Flying metal particles (fly rust) caused by industry, train track overhead wires and vehicle braking, among others, get stuck on paint and rims. These hard-to-remove particles can be removed quickly and effectively with Cartec Iron Wash. This Ph neutral product reacts with these particles, creating a purple “bleeding” effect and dissolving the metal particles.
