Very nice - still looking great!

Ahh, yeah that was the Autoglym magma iron fallout remover. Tbh first time ive used it but seemed to work well. Basically spray on then soft wipe over with a mitt/cloth then leave for 5mins. Feels  rough on paint and i had doubts how easy it would come off but powerwashed off fine. Used most of bottle to get around car so 1bottle 1 use really.

Bloody hell you got through loads then - Id probably need 2 bottles to get around the RX.

Have you tried other products, like BH Korrosol, Carchem Revolt etc? 

If you need loads, Autosmart Red7 is the way to go as it comes in 5L and is much cheaper than the others

Nice job on the car. 

I've got a bottle of Magma to try out at some point. I believe it's supposed to smell decent compared to other fallout removers?

I must say I don't like the idea of agitating it with a mitt once its on. I'll probably just spray it on and leave it to work naturally.

I did try just spraying but it didnt seem to cover well then read bottle and it does say to agitate for full coverage. Tbh it hasnt left any marks in the paint so it seems ok.

it smells ok but i wouldnt splash it all over 😂

Yep supposedly smells better but Id rather use the most pungent one on earth with a peg over my nose than splash through a bottle of it on a hatchback!!

But have to say, BH Korrosol doesn't smell that bad anyway
