Gtechniq W6 Iron and General Fallout Remover for Cars, Brake Dust Degreaser and Cleaner for Wheels, Rims and Paintwork, Safe on Coatings, 500ml

Realloy works well taking road film off wheels

I've used the best brand (like McGuire's & Mothers) wheel cleaners in the past but hands down this Gtechniq W6 beats every other product I've used by a long shot. I didn't have high expectations when I started cleaning the stock aluminum wheels on my 2008 Ridgeline. Considering the fact I haven't cleaned them in 15 years and both of the front calipers were sticking for a long time. Lets just say the black brake dust grim was a few mm thick covering the front wheels. A few sprays and 5 minutes of waiting and the wheel gunk wiped away like chocolate pudding off a spoon. Nothing has ever been able to clean what I just cleaned so quick and effortlessly before. The smell is like a truckdrivers butt hairs burning but that is how you know it is a good product I am guessing. I'd give this 10 stars if I could, just because I thought I had already bought the best of the best products which all I was paying for was their big names. I have not tried any other products by Gtechniq, but when the time comes I am most definitely will.

Unfortunately I don’t have the before picture. I had lots of brake rust embedded on the mag, and thought it would be impossible to get out. The product worked miraculously, I did in two tries since the layer of rust was pretty thick. The product smells pretty nasty, definitively some intense chemicals, so make sure to wear gloves and even glasses to protect your eyes in case the scrubbing splashes some detergent in your eyes. It involved lots of scrubbing but worked in the end so definitively worth the effort. Impressed.

I’ve used a few different iron removers before, but this one really stands out. It’s super easy to use – just spray it on and you can immediately see it reacting as it pulls out contamination from the paint. The colour change is really helpful because you can clearly see where it’s working, especially on areas that pick up a lot of brake dust and road fallout. After rinsing, the surface felt much smoother and noticeably cleaner, even before doing any further steps like claying. It’s strong enough to do the job properly, but it doesn’t feel overly aggressive on the paintwork or surrounding areas. I also found you don’t need to use loads of product, so it should last a decent amount of time. Like most iron removers, it does have a smell, but it’s not as bad as some others I’ve tried. Definitely manageable. Overall, really solid product that delivers exactly what you’d expect. If you’re into keeping your car clean and properly decontaminated, this is well worth picking up. Would happily buy again.

Jantes très sales après environ 9 000 km sans nettoyage, avec beaucoup de poussière de frein accumulée. Le produit a très bien fonctionné : après quelques minutes d’action et un léger passage à la brosse, plus aucune trace. Très peu d’effort nécessaire malgré l’état des jantes. Résultat impeccable, je recommande sans hésiter !
