You're right about the Eagle 1 presentation, they all feature the same blue bottle, hard to differentiate the product and Walmart sort of stacks them together making it even harder to find.
I think it would have been interesting if on the second test you switched sides that you sprayed the product on. This way, if Meguiar's reacts on the Eagle One side, we see Meguiar's was able to pick up iron that the Eagle One missed and vice-versa.
I have used both products, and while they both perform well, I now only use the Eagle One strictly due to cost. My local Walmarts usually sell it for just $4.44 per bottle compared to about $9.00 for the Meg's. My Z06 Corvette has Wilwood brakes with aggressive pads, and they dust just by looking at them. I use quite a bit of iron remover, so Eagle One fits my needs! My daily driver is a pearl white Infiniti G37X, and I notice a few new orange iron spots on the white paint every week or so. The Eagle One takes care of those for me, too. Great video, as always, Jimbo!
Bilt Hamber Korrosol is outstanding as a iron remover. They have a wheel cleaner too that is about the same strenghts as Korrosol actually. I don't look after how fast they react. As some can react as soon as it's in the air before hitting the paint even. That's not a tell of how good it is. That's when you use the PW and only need one go with the iron remover on a heavy iron particals and you get it off. Rarely I need to be doing a second application with the Korrosol and Carpro IronX. And I do a test spot after the first application on the biggest iron particals I saw on the first application. To see if I got it off or not. The important thing with iron removers is to let them dwell as long as possible before you clean rinsing it off with a PW. Don't let them dry on you though. I have a pump pressure spray bottle with water to not let it to dry. On a fine mist setting on it so the most of the iron remover is left. Sonax has released an even more stronger than the Plus wheel cleaner that's called Sonax Wheel Cleaner Max Effect. And is in a blue bottle. As with some brands this is the EU version. And don't know when it's released in the US. They also released Sonax Rust Remover late last year I think which also is quite good. But BH Korrosol is my go to iron remover as it just works. In the US look up HS-tuning to get the Bilt Hamber products. And get the Auto-Foam and Surfex HD if you buy something from them. The products I have used so far from BH has been top notch. Envy the guys and gals in the UK which gets BH and Angelwax products dirt cheap there.
Thanks for the info on on the Eagle One. Great stuff! I picked some up from Walmart for $6, I also got the Turtlewax Ice Seal and Shine for $6. Both the great products!
I tried McGuire, it worked. Although I think is not aggressive enough on wheels, I have to agitate to get everything off. On paint it works great. But be careful, don’t get it on your plastic trim or headlight housing, small are on my headlight housing clear coat got damaged from this product.
Eagle 1 fan here. My only complaint about the product is the bottle for some reason wants to cave in and I noticed it on your bottle as well. The technical term is called bottle paneling. It's annoying.
Yeah, the branding of this product line is bad. I accidentally bought the "PVD and Aluminum" spray ( before this video, most TH-camrs DIDN'T SPECIFY the difference *cough*DPC*cough*) ... I was pretty ticked when I sprayed it on my white car and saw nothing happening. I'll pick some of the plasti black Eagle One soon to try!
I have used iron X, and bought the Meguiar’s Detailer iron remover and it’s so much better for a decent price. I got it for $65.99 on sale for a gallon. $0.51 isn’t too bad for the results. The eagle one will be one I go for if I run out in an emergency.
Maguiars Mirror Bright also does the job. Depending where you can find it, it is also an economic option. So far Meguiars Wheel Cleaner for me has done the job.
How do the products in the Mirror Bright line compare to the standard Meguiars versions for real world use? Have never tried them, but I do like the look of the label design and bottles themselves.. 😁👍👌✌
I am sure Iron X is a fine product but since Eagle 1 was five bucks and was availabe at Walmart I thought I would give it a try. I live next to train tracks and have a white car. I couldnt understand the rust color freckles all over the car that would not rub out. I used the Eagle 1 and BAM! my cars paint was beautiful again and 95% of the spots were gone with just 1 applicqtion. Thank you so much!
I've used Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus (or Full Effect) for a few years now. For rims and paint. Happy with it. I even add 25% water for better spray pattern and it still clings and works well. And it's half the price of Iron X. That's important, when it's used like there's a hole in the bottle, app 250 ml/8 oz for just the sides and rear of a car, PLUS the rims!
Can you do a demo of the full turtle wax ice kit? The spray wax is a hit but how is the detailer, interior cleaner and speed compound? The kit looks likes a good value on amazon. Eagle wins this episode.
Thanks Jimbo for doing side by side comparison between E1 and Megs. Wheel cleaner. So far been a huge fan for E1 great stuff I had been using it since first video came out by DPC works great. I had been getting my supply by my local Walmart for cheap.
For everyone who likes products in gallon form here's my math for the whole thing. Eagle One is about $26 per gal, Meguiars about $60 per gal and "professional" Iron X is $99 per gal. However even though the first two can be sprayed on paint I would do a test spot prior to use.
There really is no problem in using a bleeding product for both. Most rims are clear coated like most painted panels. So, you're pretty much dealing with clear plastics in both cases. :)
Guessing the Meg's is close to the same as their DUB Wheel Cleaner? I use to love that, and Walmart had it for like $7 a bottle. I liked the DUB line a lot, especially for the low price. But of course Meguiars didn't seem to care about it and I don't see it anywhere any more. And they dropped all but 3 of the products.
Wow bro I'm just slow I guess I would have never thought to use wheel cleaner for iron remover. I get iron remover from Wall Mart now lol that great. Thanks a ton!
I like the meguiars just a little bit more. Not to take anything away from eagle one though. The meguiars just clings a little bit more and with my brembos I need that. I can find the meguiars occasionally for 5.99-6.99 occasionally. Eagle one is a great product too for the money!
What are you talking about that they are hard to find, just got 6 of these 23oz Eagle One iron remover bottles for just $4.49 each at Pep-Boys! They are in stock and cheaper than anywhere else!
Meg's could also be found at Walmart (about $8 a few months ago), at least in north Florida. Still haven't been able to find Eagle locally. Gonna look for it again soon. Thanks for sharing.
Clear coat on body panels shouldn't be a problem, what's the difference whether it's on a wheel or body panel? Makes sense it would be safe. I used AutoGlym Magma in the same way no problems and it's marketed for wheels.
Hey Jimbo, I bought a foam sprayer from Home Depot Flo Master. 56 oz. for $ 8.00 . Maybe do a comparison with a higher end sprayer ? Your East Coast affiliate.
since i discovered this I have been using the eagle one for every wash and wheel i do. The exception if if i am going to coat or do paint correction on a car then i use the more expensive Optimum Ferrex. but for general car wash Eagle one for the win. Keep up the great work Jimbo
Either on is better and safer than what I used. I worked for a detail shop a few years ago, we used Auto Magic Spoke deluded 50/50. It worked ok but you had to be careful or it would streak the paint.
Jimbo is that red Porsche yours? What a beauty Eagle One all the way. It’s not even close. The price, not nasty smell (ironx I’m talking 2 u) and it does an equal or better job than the filthy expensive ones. When u r doing a chemical decon, do u spray it onto a dry or wet paint? Does it matter? And after u pray it, do u need to agitate it or just rinse? Thanks in advance
You can do both. Wet or dry, rinse or agitate. Of course the water will dilute the product a little, and the agitation adds a slight risk of scratching, but may be worth it if the paint doesn't need claying. My usual procedure: I wash the car, rinse, spray iron remover, may agitate, rinse, remove tar, rinse thoroughly, clay, rinse, and move on to polish or lsp
Love your videos as a granny that details very educational, fyi found Egale 1 at Walmart loaded up,my only compaint dodgy sprayer does not last foam stops spraying foam, hard to squeeze
Just looking at the condition of the paint and the way the water beaded off the car, I can definitely tell that this car lived on a farm for sure 100% , anyone else agree? Like if you do..
I tried the Meguiars from OReilly’s on my GT500 with a crazy amount of brake dust and worked pretty damn well. But nothing compares to P&S Brakebuster out of the IK which is all I use now 🤷
Everybody they don't have any Eagle one left on Amazon or Walmart. There is some on eBay however I just bought two bottles. Eagle one found out that they can sell this for much more they're discontinuing this line and creating their own Iron removing label
Thank you for the video. QQ, I have painted the wheels of my car and covered with a matte clear coat. The wheel feel a bit porous. So, after a weekend on the track the brake dust is well into the wheel. I have used Meguiars professional with agitation and it was like water, nothing. Yesterday I got the Sonal Wheel Cleaner Full and it did a great job, but the front wheels still have a good amount of brake dust in them...any suggestions? Clay bar? Thank you.
@@autodetailingpodcast Thanks man! Safe for any color paint? I have black and have made disasters before from products that I didn't know enough about. Thanks again.
Hi Jimbo. Can you tell me when you apply iron remover on the paint is it better to be on clean car or dirty one? As long as i remember Mike Phillips once said that it is better to use iron remover on dirty car (for better cling) but all the other detailers first they wash the car and then use iron remover. So what is the best method? Thx in advance :) p.s. Eagle one for the win. Unbeatable price ... nuff said :)
I have a good one for you why don’t you put seal and shine versus chemical guys activate spray sealant.Both very similar products. And they are not crazy overpriced obviously we know how much turtle wax is and chemical guys is about $25 which still is not bad at all if it works.
another great comparison and product review jimbo. gave up on eagle one as u said hard 2 find.been using megs that ur using 2day in video easier 2 find.imo love when it foams it stays in place.b well
I cannot find Eagle One Black & Plasti-Coat Wheel Cleaner, Spray Foam, anywhere. I tried for hours... no luck! I found the Meguiar's product very fast. I hope you are correct, because I'm going to clean my '01 yellow Corvette!??
What exactly is the purpose for iron removal, on paint. Other then the literal description. And can you agitate this stuff on paint? Or do you let it sit.
i need to visit my local walmart to see if i can find some and stock up. the Eagle One website still shows they have Black & plasti cpat on their line of products but I can't find any on any online website. O'reilly's, AutoZone, or Walmart. I wonder If they are discontinuing just so they can bring It back as a "brand new" iron remover at a higher price?
Hey Jimbo, another great video. I personally like Meg for the vertical panels to stick to the surface and dwell. Where as eagle 🦅 1 good for horizontal ones either being a shower type spray or event misty spray. Since wheels are vertical that’s where you will see foaming action of Meg will help more than running liquid. I usually get Sonax wheel plus a gallon plus container. I use empty Vim’s spray bottle as it gives me best foaming action. Since these liquids are not precisely labeled as “can be used” for clear coat or body paint I am really reluctant to try that. I am using BDX from 3D which works very well as an all rounder but definitely cost slightly more than these two products.
I use that Sonax as well, added 25% water for a better spray pattern. You really don't need to foam it. I use it to decon paint too. No problem as it has the same clear coat as the rims. :)
One thing I do is use 3Ds super wheel cleaner combined with an iron removed. Far as tire cleaning I use a mild degreaser. I would like to try Meg's Iron Decon after hearing their claim of 15 seconds it is ready to rinse off vs others saying 3 to 5 minutes.
@@autodetailingpodcast Thank you for reply, no, it was in shade and i rinsed the car twice, plus that i always use ceramic wax after each wash.... so i think the paint had some protection:)))
So before spraying the iron remover do I have to wash the vehicle? or do I just spray first , rinse, wash off the spray again and then wash w soap water agin w out washing first?
The Meguiars video for Decon says a little dirt/ dust is good to have on during the application. It helps the product cling to the surface. They specifically say if you wet it, the product will run and you'll be decon-ing the ground. :-)
As someone explained it, claying and polishing will shear off the top layers of embedded contaminants while the iron remover will “dissolve” the ferrous contaminants that have embedded themselves into the paint.
Did eagle one changed there label? because I had a blue bottle written PVD and aluminum wheel cleaner from last year and smell different that will turn red or purple once it hits the iron dust but not the PVD and aluminum wheel cleaner that I just brought days ago.
To save money and since the Meguiar's is so thick, could I dilute the Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner with water 1:1 and spray the diluted mixture on the car panels as chemical decontamination?
I don't understand the trolls, because I learn something every time I watch your channel. Thank you for taking time to make these videos.
I appreciate that

Is the eagle 1 safe on black plastic trim ?
You're right about the Eagle 1 presentation, they all feature the same blue bottle, hard to differentiate the product and Walmart sort of stacks them together making it even harder to find.
They read differently on the bottle, so if you can read, then you will get the right Eagle One.
I think it would have been interesting if on the second test you switched sides that you sprayed the product on. This way, if Meguiar's reacts on the Eagle One side, we see Meguiar's was able to pick up iron that the Eagle One missed and vice-versa.
I’ve used Meguiar’s AWC on paint many times. No issues ever.
Did this car live on a farm? Asking for a friend.
I think so
Auto Detailing Podcast wasn’t sure if u said it or not
Think the car lived on a farm. Definitely lived on a farm.
Maybe it rented.... 🤷🏻♂️
I have used both products, and while they both perform well, I now only use the Eagle One strictly due to cost.

Perfect timing, i was just running low on this iron x i bought. used like half the bottle for a whole car detail.
Sushi same. Used 3/4 of it basically too. Not worth $20 to use that much of it

I wish you would've done the finger test on the rims.
Totally agree, should be a must!

Where have I been!? This channel rocks!!! Instantly subscribed.
Have these products disappeared? I checked the Eagle One website and don't see it there.
Man, good video. it is safe to put MEGUIARS ALL WHEEL CLEANER on the paint?Are you sure?
my eagle one stock sprayer broke on me too the second time i used it, i like both products really. i use both of them
Idea... Mix them both and get the power of eg1 and cling to surface of meguiars.
That eagle one product is hard to find. Cheeper just to get a different product with no/free shipping.
ya they def missed the mark with their branding...its too bad, great product.
I still show it at NAPA stores
Just looking at the condition of the paint and the way the water beaded off the car, I can definitely tell that this car lived on a farm for sure 100% , anyone else agree? Like if you do..
Meguiars AWC is my go to!
I had the cap on my megs ultimate wheel cleaner come off while I was cleaning a customers car the other day. Weird.
Meguiars makes great products but awful packaging. I've always had issues with their spray bottles.
Just spraying on Us pretty random isn't it? So many easily missed areas??? One doesn't smooth it around?
Just asking...
Does this bother the clear coat?
You can miss spots. But you usually follow up with clay to smooth it out.
I tried the Meguiars from OReilly’s on my GT500 with a crazy amount of brake dust and worked pretty damn well. But nothing compares to P&S Brakebuster out of the IK which is all I use now 🤷
Yup both are good choices, I do like how break buster will clean the tires at the same time.
Make sure the bottle says color changing formula!!
I bought the eagle one last weekend and my cap did the exact same thing!
So weird. Literally has never happened to me before
Also you should do acid wheel cleaner test with the cheap being the Superior Products Wire Wheel Cleaner. You can get it from O’Rielly Auto Parts.
I have also tried the orange bottle of EG1 that does not change color but it did foam and did a great job on tires.
Noted!
Great video. For better result.Would you agitate these products as griots does/shows with theirs?
Everybody they don't have any Eagle one left on Amazon or Walmart. There is some on eBay however I just bought two bottles. Eagle one found out that they can sell this for much more they're discontinuing this line and creating their own Iron removing label
Good video. Didn’t know this stuff was getting cheap.
Just picked up a bottle of each. Total price was under $10 at Walmart

ya, just don't let it dry.
Thank you for the video. QQ, I have painted the wheels of my car and covered with a matte clear coat. The wheel feel a bit porous. So, after a weekend on the track the brake dust is well into the wheel. I have used Meguiars professional with agitation and it was like water, nothing. Yesterday I got the Sonal Wheel Cleaner Full and it did a great job, but the front wheels still have a good amount of brake dust in them...any suggestions? Clay bar? Thank you.

What exactly does a iron remover do? This is the first time I've heard of the product.
It removes embedded fallout from your cars paint

Can i spray meguires AWC on a black car also? Can it stain the paint?
it can stain if you let it dry - keep it wet and out of direct sun and youll be good.
Hi Jimbo. Can you tell me when you apply iron remover on the paint is it better to be on clean car or dirty one?

I have a good one for you why don’t you put seal and shine versus chemical guys activate spray sealant.Both very similar products. And they are not crazy overpriced obviously we know how much turtle wax is and chemical guys is about $25 which still is not bad at all if it works.
Great video. Eagle 1 will be my next iron decontaminator.
Well I just tried the Meguairs for hard water spots on my black truck and it didn't work. That was a waste of $13. Guess I'll have to compound it.
neither one of these will work for water spot removal.
I really dont understand why Iron Removers are pretty expensive. Meguiar's really did good this time.
my guess would be that the raw materials are expensive.

What exactly is the purpose for iron removal, on paint. Other then the literal description. And can you agitate this stuff on paint? Or do you let it sit.
U got the part # can't find it anywhere ordered a bunch online an get to the store an it's a bottle that looks like the miguers bottle
Hey man I just bought the sonax rim cleaner, is it safe to use it as iron remover on paint ? Have you tried the product before ?
not sure i havent tried it like that.
i need to visit my local walmart to see if i can find some and stock up. the Eagle One website still shows they have Black & plasti cpat on their line of products but I can't find any on any online website. O'reilly's, AutoZone, or Walmart. I wonder If they are discontinuing just so they can bring It back as a "brand new" iron remover at a higher price?
Hey Jimbo, another great video. I personally like Meg for the vertical panels to stick to the surface and dwell. Where as eagle 🦅 1 good for horizontal ones either being a shower type spray or event misty spray.
Since wheels are vertical that’s where you will see foaming action of Meg will help more than running liquid.
I usually get Sonax wheel plus a gallon plus container. I use empty Vim’s spray bottle as it gives me best foaming action.
Since these liquids are not precisely labeled as “can be used” for clear coat or body paint I am really reluctant to try that. I am using BDX from 3D which works very well as an all rounder but definitely cost slightly more than these two products.
I use that Sonax as well, added 25% water for a better spray pattern. You really don't need to foam it. I use it to decon paint too. No problem as it has the same clear coat as the rims. :)
after using foam vs more runny soak. I rather have runny, seems to me the runny will get under the dirt better than a foam.
One thing I do is use 3Ds super wheel cleaner combined with an iron removed. Far as tire cleaning I use a mild degreaser. I would like to try Meg's Iron Decon after hearing their claim of 15 seconds it is ready to rinse off vs others saying 3 to 5 minutes.
Hello, i used by mistake in a self wash the wheel foam on my car paint ...but i rince it a few minutes later....do You think it damaged my paint?
It shouldn't...unless you were in direct sun or the paint was hot.
@@autodetailingpodcast Thank you for reply, no, it was in shade and i rinsed the car twice, plus that i always use ceramic wax after each wash.... so i think the paint had some protection:)))
Eagle one 4.44 at Walmart!
How often can/should you chemically decon a daily driver?
maybe once a year
So before spraying the iron remover do I have to wash the vehicle? or do I just spray first , rinse, wash off the spray again and then wash w soap water agin w out washing first?
I bought the eagle one and it had a real horrible smell like rotten eggs! it worked but it smelled gross im scared to use it again lol
Thanks for your video I want to know what is your personal choice out of the two?
I go with either.
Did they discontinue both of these? Can't find them anywhere.
Found megs at walmart on closeout before but can't find either anymore.
Awesome Jimbo, keep up the great videos my friend!
I like eagle one simply because of the smell is a lot better than meguiars 👍🏼
Hello,
Just to make sure you applied to a dry or wet paint?
And are you supposed to massage the product in? Or that is a big No.
Thanks.
You don’t need to, but agitating it will make it more effective
Auto Detailing Podcast thanks. Also is it better to apply to cool dry surface or wet.
The Meguiars video for Decon says a little dirt/ dust is good to have on during the application. It helps the product cling to the surface. They specifically say if you wet it, the product will run and you'll be decon-ing the ground. :-)
what's the point of iron remover? doesn't claybar or polishing do the same thing?
It can make the coating process faster and easier
As someone explained it, claying and polishing will shear off the top layers of embedded contaminants while the iron remover will “dissolve” the ferrous contaminants that have embedded themselves into the paint.
@@autodetailingpodcast thanks everyone
I would try the Eagle one!
Did eagle one changed there label? because I had a blue bottle written PVD and aluminum wheel cleaner from last year and smell different that will turn red or purple once it hits the iron dust but not the PVD and aluminum wheel cleaner that I just brought days ago.
Yep looks different now. Jumbo talked about it in a newer video.
To save money and since the Meguiar's is so thick, could I dilute the Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner with water 1:1 and spray the diluted mixture on the car panels as chemical decontamination?
