Best Value
$0.65/oz
A consumer-grade thioglycolate-based iron remover for paint decontamination with touch-free application.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
5.3
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
0 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium thioglycolate at ≥12.5% concentration to chelate iron particles, causing the characteristic color change reaction when iron contamination is present. The mildly acidic pH of 5.3 provides effective iron removal while remaining safe for painted surfaces and clear coats.
Key Differentiators
- •Higher thioglycolate concentration (≥12.5%) compared to many consumer iron removers
- •Paint-safe formulation that can replace clay bar decontamination in many cases
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Strong sulfur odor typical of thioglycolate-based products
- ⚠Higher concentration may require careful timing to avoid extended surface contact
