Effective Iron Fallout Removal
Ferrous contamination can become embedded in both paintwork and wheels.
Common sources include:
- Brake dust
- Industrial fallout
- Road contamination
- Metallic particles
W6 is specifically formulated to break down and remove this type of contamination safely and effectively.
Suitable for Paintwork
W6 can be used across suitable painted exterior surfaces as part of a chemical decontamination process.
This makes it useful before:
- Clay treatment
- Machine polishing
- Paint correction
- Wax application
- Sealant application
- Ceramic coating preparation
Suitable for Wheels
W6 is equally useful on wheel surfaces where brake dust and iron contamination can build up quickly.
It can help remove contamination from:
- Wheel faces
- Spokes
- Rim edges
- Inner barrels
Thick Gel-Like Formula
The gel-style consistency helps W6 remain on the surface rather than running off immediately.
This provides more dwell time on vertical areas and gives the active ingredients longer to work.
Clings to Vertical Surfaces
Surface cling is especially useful on:
- Wheel faces
- Doors
- Wings
- Lower panels
- Quarter panels
where thinner products may run away too quickly.
Degreasing Action
W6 does more than react with iron fallout.
Its formula also helps degrease the treated surface, making it useful against broader contamination alongside ferrous deposits.
Corrosion Inhibitor
W6 contains a corrosion inhibitor designed to help protect treated surfaces while the product works.
This adds another layer of consideration when cleaning areas regularly exposed to metallic contamination and environmental grime.
Helps Combat Acid Rain Effects
The formula also contains an additive designed to help combat the effects of acid rain.
This makes W6 particularly useful as part of a deeper exterior decontamination routine.
Ideal for Wheel Decontamination
Brake dust can become heavily embedded, especially on:
- Performance cars
- Track-driven vehicles
- Cars with aggressive brake pads
- Frequently used daily drivers
W6 helps chemically remove this contamination before further cleaning or protection.
Ideal for Paint Decontamination
Paint can often feel rough even after washing because embedded contamination remains behind.
W6 helps remove ferrous particles that normal shampoo cannot effectively tackle.
Helps Reduce Mechanical Decontamination
Using a chemical iron remover before claying can reduce the amount of contamination that needs to be removed physically.
This can help:
- Reduce clay loading
- Reduce unnecessary friction
- Make the decontamination process easier
Ideal Before Ceramic Coating
W6 is particularly useful during preparation for ceramic protection.
A thorough process may include:
- Wash the vehicle.
- Apply W6.
- Allow the product to react.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Continue with tar removal or claying if required.
- Polish if necessary.
- Prepare the surface for coating.
How to Use Gtechniq W6
- Ensure the surface is cool.
- Apply W6 evenly to the required wheel or paint surface.
- Allow the gel formula time to work.
- Agitate lightly where necessary.
- Do not allow the product to dry.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Repeat if heavy contamination remains.
Always follow the instructions on the product label.
Do Not Allow to Dry
As with any strong decontamination chemical, W6 should not be allowed to dry on the surface.
For best results:
- Work in the shade
- Use on cool surfaces
- Monitor dwell time
- Rinse thoroughly
W6 vs Conventional Wheel Cleaner
A normal wheel cleaner may focus mainly on general dirt and road grime.
W6 is specifically useful when you need:
- Iron removal
- Fallout decontamination
- Brake dust removal
- Degreasing
- Paint compatibility
W6 vs Dedicated Fallout Remover
W6 combines fallout removal with additional benefits including:
- Gel-like cling
- Degreasing action
- Corrosion inhibition
- Acid-rain combating additives
This makes it a particularly versatile decontamination product.
