Fallout happens. Damage doesn’t have to.

Your paintwork might look clean, but microscopic iron particles from brake dust, rail dust, and industrial fallout could already be eating away at it. Left untreated, these contaminants can bond to surfaces, cause corrosion, and permanently damage your finish.

That’s where our Fallout Remover comes in. Our professional-grade, pH-neutral formula chemically targets and dissolves iron contamination and is completely safe for your paintwork, wheels, glass, and even protective coatings.

Whether you’re tackling stubborn brake dust on alloys or protecting your pride and joy from hidden damage, Fallout Remover works fast, shows you it’s working, and rinses away without harming your finish.

What is Fallout Remover – and why do you need it?

Fallout removers are specialist cleaners designed to dissolve and safely remove iron contamination that regular washing can’t touch. These contaminants typically come from:

  • Brake dust generated during driving
  • Rail dust from transport or nearby train lines
  • Industrial fallout from manufacturing and pollution
  • Airborne metallic particles that settle on your car

Once bonded, these particles can’t be removed by standard shampoos. Over time, they oxidise, causing rust spots and paint deterioration. Nielsen Fallout Remover breaks this bond, neutralises the contamination, and prevents long-term damage without scrubbing.

Key features

Each bottle is packed with performance. Here’s what makes our formula a detailer’s go-to:

pH-neutral formula: Safe for all exterior surfaces, including wax, sealants, and ceramic coatings.

Fast-acting: Loosens and dissolves contaminants for effortless rinsing.

Visible reaction: Turns purple on contact with iron, showing you it’s working.

Multi-surface safe: Works on paint, wheels, glass, and trim.

How to use Nielsen Fallout Remover for best results

  1. Ensure the surface is cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight.
  2. Spray generously onto the affected area (paintwork or wheels).
  3. Wait 3–5 minutes for the formula to react and turn purple.
  4. For heavy contamination, gently agitate with a soft brush or microfibre cloth.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

*Tip: For the smoothest finish, follow with a clay bar treatment before applying wax or sealant.
