Ferrous Decontamination
See the contamination lift in real time
KO Iron's colour-change chemistry takes the guesswork out of decon. The gel clings to vertical panels and turns a deep purple as it reacts with embedded brake dust, rail dust and industrial fallout, so you know the product is working before you rinse.
Why KO Iron
Professional fallout removal made simple
Concentrated gel formula built for real decontamination work
-
Gel That Sticks
The concentrated gel formula clings to vertical panels and wheel faces, giving the active chemistry full contact time before rinsing.
-
Colour-Change Indicator
Turns visibly purple when it contacts iron particles, confirming contamination and showing you exactly where to rinse.
-
Protects the Paint
Removing ferrous particles before they oxidise prevents them from etching into the clear coat and causing lasting damage.
-
Multi-Surface Safe
Formulated for use on painted bodywork, glass and all wheel types, so you can run one product across the whole vehicle.

Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can I use KO Iron on?
KO Iron is safe for use on painted bodywork, glass and all types of rims, including alloy, chrome and painted wheels. Always spray onto a cold surface and avoid letting it dry before rinsing.
How long do I leave it on before rinsing?
Allow 2-5 minutes for the product to react. You will see the formula turn purple as it binds to iron particles. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water before the product can dry on the surface.
Does it need to be diluted?
For rust stains, use KO Iron undiluted. For general iron-contaminated surfaces, dilute at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:2 with water. The 4.54L format is well suited to mixing up diluted solutions for regular use.
Can I use it on a hot panel in direct sun?
No. Always apply KO Iron to a cold surface and work in the shade where possible. Heat accelerates evaporation, which can cause the product to dry before it is rinsed off and may leave residue on the surface.
What is the purple colour change?
The purple reaction is a chemical indicator. When the active ingredients in KO Iron bind to iron and ferrous particles, they form a coloured compound, allowing you to see exactly where contamination is present and confirm the product is working.
Can I use a brush or applicator with it?
Yes. Fra-Ber recommends using a soft brush on areas with deep-seated or stubborn dirt, particularly in rim spokes or textured areas, before rinsing with water. The gel formula helps it stay in place while you agitate.
Where does KO Iron fit in a decon detail?
Use KO Iron after an initial wash and before clay bar or clay mitt treatment. Removing ferrous contamination first makes claying more effective and reduces the risk of dragging iron particles across the paint. It is an essential first step before any paint correction or coating application.
What is the difference between the 750ml and 4.54L formats?
The 750ml bottle comes with a foaming trigger for broad, even coverage directly on bodywork and wheels. The 4.54L container is a concentrate designed for dilution and decanting, making it more economical for professional detailers or high-volume use.
