CARPRO TriX Tar & Iron Remover - Powerful Wheel Cleaner & Car Detailing Solution | Combines IronX & TarX Technology | Heavy-Duty Degreaser for Wheels, Paint & Undercarriage | 1 Liter (34oz) - Ideal for Auto Detailing, Car Wash & Maintenance

NoneDoes a great job removing paint particles and really made claying much easier. The scent isn’t terrible (reminds me of grapefruit peels). The only downside is you’ll go through the bottle quickly (probably 3 washes for an SUV), so the cost will add up. I’ll reserve this for the biannual deep cleaning/detailing sessions.I've used TRIX about 5 times on my vehicle and some of my family's vehicles. I've been impressed with the results.As advertised, it removes iron contaminants pretty well. As they are dissolved in the cleaner, they turn purple and "bleed" off of the paint. Given that this isn't the full strength IronX, I can't compare the performance, but it worked fine on the vehicles I've worked on. Tar is removed very easily as well. I used it as a wheel cleaner and it removed brake dust contaminants well. Heavily dirty wheels will likely need more than one application with agitation using a wheel brush, but you can see the results.After I used TRIX on my car, I found that I still needed to clay it, but it made the process much easier.I'd recommend this to anyone, no matter how old your car is. I used this on a family member's new vehicle (1 month after purchase) and was able to detect some iron contaminants after spraying the product on the paint and seeing the bleeding effect.Keep in mind that the smell is pretty powerful, and you definitely want to use this in a well-ventilated area.So it's true that it smells poorly, but that is easily made up for by the results alone. I had some type of contaminant (perhaps brake dust, iron or something) affecting the white platinum tri coat paint on my brand new 2015 Explorer. I used Meguiars Gold wash with a quality microfiber towel to no avail and could not get the contaminants off even with a little fingernail pressure behind the cloth. A quick detailer also was not sufficient. A light spray coat of TRIX over the affected areas took care of the issue and then some. It takes care of issues you can see but also brings to light contaminants you might not have seen. It was quick acting and effective. Just make sure to shake the bottle before each spray. Also, be sure to power rinse well, especially in any crevice areas (like emblem edges, space between glass and body, etc). I thought I rinsed well and started to dry the vehicle but after I opened and then shut the tailgate new streaks of pink/purple began rolling down the paint from the areas where water was hidden or pooled. This product was well worth the price and having to tolerate the smell for the simple fact it truly cuts your sweat labor.This stuff works wonders! I cannot compare it to Iron-X as this is the first product I have used to remove iron particles and rail dust from my vehicle. I took my truck to the local DIY car wash to wash all the grime and dirt off my truck. Returned home and sprayed this stuff down one side of my 2013 F150 FX4 and by the time I got to the point where I started, it was nothing but purple streaks running down my truck. It's very surprising knowing that there is actually that many metal particles in your paint and clear coat. This stuff also made my factory black wheels look new again, it works better than soap and water. They have NEVER looked this good after leaving the dealership 2 years ago. After making it around my truck with this product, I sprayed my truck down with water then paired the detail process with the Chemical Guys clay bar kit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8MZ7EY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00) to remove any remaining iron particles. Finished the truck off with a nice meguier's wax paired with my Porter Cable and AutoGeek.net pads. Truck has never looked this good, even when I saw it at my local dealership!! Highly recommend this product!!Are you kidding me? After using various other off the shelf products, I decided to go for this one seeing the reviews. This is very easy to use and removes contaminants that otherwise would need me to scrub and/or use a claybar on the paint. Trix removes brake dust easily and if necessary, use a microfiber wand to get between the spokes. Do not allow the product to dry at all and make sure to completely wash TRIX off the rims and surrounding parts of the cars.Please note, while this product may be improved in terms of scent, it still doesn't have the most pleasant smell. But, I purchased TRIX for the ability to remove contaminants from the Rims, wheel wells and paint, for that, this works perfectly. As stated in my other Carpro review, I am a firm believer of their products.Keep TRIX in the product bag after using it and put somewhere you don't wish to smell something obnoxious all the time.Overall:How much is your time worth to you? This will save you time and frustration and well worth the price point.I had originally bought the 500 ml to test on my vehicle (VW Jetta - Crystal White). I work on an Industrial estate with an Iron/Steel processing plant nearby and the road conditions aren't the best in the area so it was more like dirty brown. After washing with CG Citrus Foam passed my hand over the rough surface I sprayed the vehicle... best to be done in a well ventilated area.. the smell is reminiscent of rust remover... can be overpowering... Spraying from the top to bottom and letting the TRIX 'work' for about 15 mins. Of course the vehicle turned purple and 'bled' all over. It was subtly satisfying to see this reaction. Rinsed off the vehicle with a strong stream of water and then repeated the hand test... was pleased with the results. Proceeded to clay vehicle afterwards just to clear up any remnants. This was exceptionally useful for the task and now I can be confident in using it on the other cars mostly on the wheels and brake calipers. Will definitely be using again.I had some very stubborn tree pitch that other products totally failed to dissolve, but like other CarPro products this delivered in a big way.I sprayed on and then waited 5 minutes and wiped it off. It does leave a bit of any oily residue that washes off with a regular wash, no problem.From now on I will always have some in my car care cabinet!I love this product. I own a white car and trust me when I say this product is excellent.Firstly I was mu car as normal and looks clean then I spray TRIAX TAR REMOVER, Then wait 10 minutes.Just when you think your car is clean then you see the crap that this removes, amazing.Don’t know why previous only gave a one star. I have used several products in the past that claim to remove TAR, but this is the only that worked as I hoped. It’s a must buy especially if you own a white car. I would have given a 5 star if it wasn’t for the fact that the spray bottle didn’t want to spray when I still has enough in the bottle for another 2 coatsgood product but the iron x and tar remover are better as individual cleaners but still does a good enough job the spray trigger can be a bit of a issue as sometimes it doesn't always release back to its original placeThe ad states it includes a sprayer, which did not come with it. Plus returns are not allowed so I am not sure who to loop in to get this corrected.Worked as intended. My truck was really bad and required two applications. I still have a third of a bottle left.Smells awful tho, don't spill it in your vehicle.
