Gtechniq - W6 Iron & Fallout Remover

Gtechniq W6 Iron & Fallout Remover is a pH-balanced, colour-changing gel specifically designed to dissolve ferrous particles from brake dust and industrial fallout on vehicle surfaces. It breaks down iron contamination that embeds in paintwork and wheels, helping prevent corrosion and improving gloss. The product features a high-cling gel formula that dwells longer on surfaces and includes a corrosion inhibitor additive to combat the effects of acid rain.

The colour-changing feature is a visual indicator that shows the product is actively working. When W6 comes into contact with iron contamination, it turns purple as it dissolves the ferrous particles. This colour change typically occurs within 3-5 minutes of application and helps you identify areas with heavy contamination. The more purple the reaction, the more iron fallout was present on the surface.

W6 is safe for use on paintwork and clear coat, alloy wheels and brake calipers, glass, PPF (paint protection film), and vinyl wrap. The pH-balanced formula will not remove existing wax or sealants when used as directed. It's suitable for most vehicle finishes and is an excellent choice for comprehensive Iron Fallout removal across your entire vehicle.

Start by washing the vehicle thoroughly and ensuring all surfaces are cool to the touch. Spray W6 directly onto contaminated areas and allow it to dwell for 3-5 minutes without letting it dry. Watch for the purple colour change indicating active iron dissolution. For stubborn contamination, agitate lightly with a soft brush or wash mitt, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. The EZ Detail Brush works particularly well for agitating the product in wheel wells and intricate areas.

Iron fallout removal should be performed every few months or whenever paintwork feels rough to the touch. It's especially important before polishing, paint correction, or applying protective coatings. Vehicles exposed to heavy traffic, industrial areas, or frequent motorway driving may require more frequent treatment. Regular use helps maintain paint clarity and prevents long-term damage from embedded contaminants.

Yes, W6 is part of the comprehensive Gtechniq product range designed for professional-grade vehicle care. It works as an essential preparation step before applying Gtechniq's ceramic coatings, sealants, or waxes. The product integrates seamlessly with other Gtechniq maintenance products to provide complete paint care and protection throughout the year.
