Setec Astronomy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Very nice...couple of questions. Why did you use both WB and Iron-X on the wheels? I can't see WB leaving anything for Iron-X to remove. Also, I don't remember Opti-Bond being so shiny/wet looking, was that just after you applied it or am I just not remembering how shiny it is? Or maybe it's just because those are new tires. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your questions I like to use IX after I clean any wheels so that the IX can solely work on any Iron particles. While WB is a great great tool I found that even after a good cleaning it still can tackle iron particles. As for OBTG i did one coat and the photos were taken about 45 minutes after the tire were dressed. I did give the tires a goos scrubbing because of the blooming.
