We Say

Is your car's paintwork feeling rough and gritty? Are those pesky orange spots showing up, particularly around the wheels? These are likely signs of iron (or ferrous) fallout, tiny particles of brake dust, industrial pollution, and rail dust embedded in your paint. Left unchecked, these contaminants can cause rust and damage your vehicle's finish. That's where Bilt Hamber Korrosol comes in.

Bilt Hamber Korrosol is a popular iron fallout remover and decontaminant used by many car enthusiasts and detailers. It’s designed to break down iron particles, like brake dust, rail dust, and industrial fallout, that adhere to your vehicle’s paint and wheels.

Korrosol and Auto Wheels are designed as a pair of products used to tackle iron fallout, Korrosol for the paintwork and Auto Wheels for wheels. 

As we drive our cars, they are continually bombarded by metallic particles that fill the air. These particles are often extremely hot, having been discharged from braking surfaces, and as we drive through them they embed themselves in the bodywork by melting their way into the surface of the paint. As they accumulate, these particles form an increasingly rougher surface that dirt and grime readily adheres to, thus making our cars harder to keep clean. As they are mostly iron-based, they readily react with moisture and rapidly corrode, which degrades both the look and protective qualities of your cars paint.

Bilt Hamber korrosol is a fast-acting fallout remover, designed to effortlessly dissolve all iron-based contaminants without the need for any manual agitation.

Description

Bilt Hamber Korrosol
Eradicate Stubborn Iron Contamination with Korrosol

Korrosol is formulated to offer the same level of cleaning power as highly acidic fallout removers, but without any of the associated safety risks. Highly acidic fallout removers work by attacking iron-based particles and reducing their size, which releases them from the paint surface. They are certainly very effective, but they attack underlying panel substrates if the paint system is compromised (by stone chips or other penetrating damage). Bilt Hamber korrosol works differently, by using a neutralised acid salt to render the iron-based particles water soluble, these troublesome contaminants can be safely rinsed away.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

Highly Effective: Korrosol's potent formula powerfully removes even deeply embedded iron particles. Korrosol is known for being very effective at removing iron contaminants from both paintwork and wheels. When sprayed on the surface, it turns purple or red as it reacts with the iron particles, showing just how well it’s working.

pH-5: While Korrosol is not ph neutral, it isn't as acidic as other iron removers on the market. This makers it a safer for use on all vehicle surfaces, including paint, glass, wheels, and plastic. However, it is highly recommended that you test Korrosol on an inconspicuous area prior to use. 

Easy to Use: Like many decontaminants, it’s a spray-on, rinse-off product. Just apply it to a clean, dry surface, allow it to sit for a few minutes, and then rinse it off. For stubborn areas, a soft brush or agitation can help.

Visual Indicator: The colour-changing reaction makes it easy to see where the contamination is and when it's been removed.

Ready to use formula: No need to decant down, Korrosol is ready to go, with a little going a long way, making it a cost-effective solution.

Pleasant Scent: Unlike some strong-smelling iron removers, Korrosol has a much more neutral or even pleasant smell, making the detailing process less unpleasant.

Time-Saving: Using Korrosol can significantly speed up the process of decontaminating a vehicle, especially compared to manual clay baring, which is often much more time-consuming and labour-intensive.

WHY CHOOSE BILT HAMBER KORROSOL?

The purple colour transformation as Korrosol reacts, is not just satisfying, but also incredibly helpful. Your paint will feel noticeably smoother following this Bilt Hamber product

While the scent isn't everyone's favourite (a common characteristic of these type of products), the results more than make up for it. It's a staple in many detailing enthusiast's arsenal, and a great choice for anyone looking to remove iron fallout without harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

How To Use

Tip- Test on an inconspicuous areas before use.

Bilt Hamber korrosol comes pre-diluted to the correct strength for safe exterior use. In all cases, wash and rinse the surfaces you are going to treat in the normal way.

Next, working on 3-4 panels at a time, spray Korrosol on liberally and allow 3-5 minutes for it to work; during this interval the initially transparent solution will gradually turn a deep red as ferrous compounds and sintered iron particles dissolve into solution.

Although Bilt Hamber korrosol is essentially a touchless cleaner, you can agitate it with a microfibre towel if needs be (we recommend using a PB Disposable Towel). After 5 minutes or so rinse the surfaces you have treated with a strong stream of water.

Note - if the solution has begun to dry you may need to use a stronger jet of water from a pressure washer to remove the residue.

After rinsing off, check the treated surfaces for residual contamination by running your fingertips over them while they are still wet. Contaminant-free surfaces should feel perfectly smooth (if your fingertips aren't particularly sensitive you can magnify your sense of touch by putting your fingers inside a cellophane wrapper first). If you can detect any grittiness then it's likely that the treated surfaces are still contaminated with non-ferrous particulates (e.g. paint overspray) and will need to be carefully clayed before any polishing is done or any protection is applied.
