Mark, I have a 99 mustang that I picked up a few months back. It had a bad caliper and wore the brake pad down to metal and I have orange rust all over the side of the car. I was hoping soap and water would wash it away but that didn't do anything. I tried WD-40 on a rag and it didn't do much either, any ideas?

have you tried a clay bar?

have you tried a clay bar?

I thought about that but this stuff is gritty like (somewhat textured) and think I'd need a few clay bars lol. It's only on the pass. side and some on the rear bumper. If course the further from the front tire the better it is. The stock rim that was on the front is really bad. I put bullets on it now so took care of that part.

I'll be making an Iron-X purchase soon. Rail dust and brake dust mas made it's way to my truck and my wife's fusion. I've never had a vehicle with so much rail dust.

You can use the normal Iron-X for those types of issues. No need to get the hardcore gel version I linked above, and it'll also allow you to avoid shopping at "the Walmart of detailing companies."

lol what do you mean?

AG. They buy companies out, create shady deals, and have shady advertising. Call them for product help and I 100% promise you'll be directed by one of their in-house brands regardless of how it'll actually work.

They're huge, they're the biggest online merchant of supplies by far, and it's mainly because of how they have out-muscled the competition.

Lots of shady things with them, trust me.
