Hi guys

Has anyone used Merlins blood to clean their wheels?

Saw a video posted on Facebook and it looks amazing, but can't see much info on it online.

Vid:

Does anyone know if this would be safe to use on the A3 sline diamond cut alloys?

Cheers
Sam

Can't find this available to buy at the usual detailing stores but came across an Auto Express wheel cleaner test whilst I was looking - Bilt-Hamber auto-wheel cleaner came out on top so I'm going to give that a try.

Another wheel cleaner product with an awesome name is Valet Pro - Dragon's Breath !!

A lot of them change colour. e.g. Iron X, TRIX, Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels (not the acidic one).

It's a simple iron out remover, there's so many of these that seem to pop up at the moment. At Goodwood last month, there were at least 3 new 'manufacturers' that had risen from somewhere. It does get a little difficult to establish who is supplying most of them, as there is a lot of rebottling going on. Not to suggest they are all doing this, but certainly not everyone is a manufacturer.

Assuming it's the same consistency as other fallout removers, it should be non acidic & ph balanced. Ok to use on diamond cut

The original, and one of the best! I've been getting on well with the Gtechniq version as well, but IronX is still a personal favourite.
