Blitz Fallout Remover or Vortex Wheel Gel?
We often get asked “Should I be using Blitz every time I wash the car? When should I be using Vortex?”
The primary function of Blitz is to remove iron particles and brake dust build up, this means if you are washing your car on a regular basis (every 1-2 weeks), you are likely wasting product if using Blitz on your alloys each time.
Frequent washer: we recommend rinsing your wheels prior to applying any product, if majority of the dirt comes off with a pressure washer, you don’t need to be using Blitz, this is when we would advise using Vortex Gel Wheel Cleaner. As a rule of thumb, we have noticed for a regular vehicle washed regularly and being used to commute to & from work you can use Blitz Fallout Remover every other time you wash the vehicle.
Infrequent washer or track brake pads user: we recommend pre-rinsing your alloys before spraying Blitz, if the alloy turns dark purple all over, rinse off & repeat using a brush to agitate on the second time. If the wheel is only partly purple, rinse Blitz off and switch to Vortex for your contact wash.
What is the difference?
Blitz Fallout Remover targets iron and metallic particles on paint and wheels
Vortex Gel Wheel Cleaner has a clingy consistency formulated to clean general dirt, grease and road grime.
Ultimately, if you want to use Blitz Fallout Remover on your wheels every time you wash your vehicle, go for it, it won’t cause your alloys any damage. Vortex Gel Wheel Cleaner can be used as an alternative to keep the cost down if cleaning your vehicle on a regular basis.
