Chemical Decontamination
Watch it turn purple as it works
W6's colour-changing formula reacts visibly with iron particles in brake dust and fallout, turning purple as it dissolves contamination from paint and wheels. There is no guessing whether it is working - the colour change tells you exactly where contamination was hiding.
Why W6
Decon done properly
Fast-acting, coating-safe iron removal for paint and wheels.
-
Visible reaction
Turns purple on contact with dissolved iron so you can see exactly where fallout was sitting.
-
Coating-safe
Removes contamination without stripping or damaging ceramic coatings or sealants.
-
Clings to verticals
Thick gel formula stays on wheel spokes, arches, and door panels long enough to do the job.
-
Corrosion inhibitors
Built-in inhibitors help protect wheel and rim surfaces against acid rain and ongoing brake dust.
W6 vs Generic Iron Removers
Not all iron removers are equal
A cheap iron remover spray might shift light fallout, but there are real differences in formula thickness, coating compatibility, and surface protection that matter when you are working on a detailed car.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Safe on ceramic coatings | Yes | No |
| Gel formula clings to vertical surfaces | Yes | No |
| Colour change confirms iron dissolution | Yes | Yes |
| Works on both paint and wheels | Yes | Yes |
| Corrosion inhibitors for acid rain protection | Yes | No |
| Safe to use without agitation on light contamination | Yes | No |
Coating-Safe Formula
Decon without undoing your protection
Many iron removers are too aggressive for coated vehicles. W6 is formulated specifically not to damage existing coatings, so you can run a full decon pass on a ceramic-coated car without concern. The corrosion inhibitors also give wheel surfaces an extra layer of defence against acid rain and brake dust build-up.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply W6 Iron Removing Wheel & Paint Cleaner?
Rinse off loose dirt first, then shake the bottle and spray W6 directly onto the surface. Leave it to dwell for 3-5 minutes - you will see it turn purple as it reacts with iron particles. Rinse thoroughly, and repeat on heavily contaminated areas. Always wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight.
Is W6 safe to use on ceramic coatings?
Yes. W6 is specifically formulated not to damage coatings. You can use it safely on paint protected with a ceramic coating or sealant without stripping the protection underneath.
Can I use W6 on all wheel finishes?
W6 is designed for use on rims and wheels as part of a regular decon routine. It is effective on painted, lacquered, and alloy wheel finishes. If you are unsure about a particularly sensitive or aftermarket finish, test on a small hidden area first.
How long should I leave W6 to dwell on the surface?
The recommended dwell time is 3-5 minutes. During this period the gel reacts with ferrous contamination and turns purple. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface - if conditions are warm or windy, rinse before it flashes off and reapply if needed.
Does W6 work on paintwork as well as wheels?
Yes. W6 is effective on both paintwork and wheels. It is formulated to remove ferrous fallout such as brake dust and industrial contamination from any exterior surface, making it useful as a full-vehicle decon spray before paint correction or coating application.
Do I need to agitate W6, or does it work by itself?
On lightly contaminated surfaces, W6 works as a spray-and-rinse product. On heavily soiled wheels or paint, the product can be agitated with a brush or wash mitt after the dwell period for a more thorough clean. The gel formula is thick enough to hold on vertical surfaces while you work.
Can W6 be used before clay bar treatment?
Absolutely. Using W6 as a chemical decon step before claying is best practice. Removing as much ferrous contamination chemically first reduces the load on the clay bar and protects it from becoming embedded with hard particles prematurely.
Does W6 offer any protection after use, or is it purely a cleaner?
W6 is a decontamination product, not a protectant. It cleans and removes fallout, and includes corrosion inhibitors to help combat the effects of acid rain, but it does not leave a protective layer. Follow up with your preferred sealant or ceramic coating for lasting protection after decon.
