Iron Removers

3D

GLW Series Iron Remover

Moderate

Positioned as premium 'GLW Series' enthusiast/professional product. Pricing ($1.25/oz at 16oz, $0.43/oz at gallon) is mid-range. Competes with P&S Iron Buster, SONAX Beast, and Adams Iron Remover but with notably harsher safety profile. The 'safe on paint and wheels' marketing claim is accurate for surface compatibility but masks the more severe human safety hazards.
