Bilt-Hamber Korrosol is a professional Iron Remover developed for chemical decontamination of a vehicle's painted surfaces and wheels. The product dissolves embedded iron particles from brake dust and airborne ferrous contamination without mechanical agitation, signalling its reaction through a clear colour change to deep burgundy red.

The formula is pH-neutral and helps protect the paintwork during treatment. It is suitable for clear coat, acrylic lacquer, and all conventional paint systems. Korrosol forms a natural step in professional decontamination prior to clay bar treatment or Coating application.

The 1-litre pack is supplied with an ergonomic atomiser for even and controlled application over large surfaces.

What is Korrosol and why choose it?

Iron particles from brake discs and brake pads are flung outward during driving and become embedded in the paint surface. These microscopic metal fragments begin to corrode on contact with moisture and expand up to four times their original volume, progressively breaking down the paint from within. Conventional washing does not remove these particles.

Bilt-Hamber Korrosol reacts selectively with oxidised iron compounds and converts them into water-soluble complexes that are easily rinsed away with a pressure washer. Unlike acid-based iron removers that can attack healthy paint and metal, Korrosol uses a neutral formula that reacts only with the oxidised iron – not with the paint surface itself.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Bilt-Hamber Korrosol work on wheels with heavy brake dust accumulation?

Yes, Bilt-Hamber Korrosol Iron Remover with Colour Indicator 1L is effective even on wheels with heavy brake dust accumulation. The Iron Remover reacts with oxidised iron particles regardless of whether they are on paintwork or wheel surfaces. Spray the product evenly over the wheel, allow it to dwell for a few minutes until the clear burgundy red colour change appears, then rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer. Avoid allowing the product to dry on the surface.

What volume and pH value does Bilt-Hamber Korrosol have?

Bilt-Hamber Korrosol Iron Remover with Colour Indicator 1L is supplied in a 1-litre pack and has a neutral pH value. The neutral pH means that Korrosol is not acid-based and does not attack healthy paint, clear coat, or metal – unlike iron removers based on phosphoric acid or oxalic acid. The pack includes an ergonomic atomiser for immediate use.

What sets Bilt-Hamber Korrosol apart from other iron removers on the market?

Bilt-Hamber Korrosol Iron Remover with Colour Indicator 1L differs from many competing iron removers through its neutral pH formula, which reacts only with oxidised iron compounds and not with healthy paint or metal. Many lower-cost iron removers are acid-based and can, over time, damage the paint surface with frequent use. Korrosol also offers a clear visual indicator – the strong colour change to deep burgundy red confirms precisely where ferrous contamination has occurred, making the treatment controllable and repeatable in professional settings.
