I'm a hobby detailer and have been polishing our vehicles for a few years now. Last year I bought a newer car that I haven't had a chance to touch, so later this month I want to polish the car and use a few products I've never used before. I have the McKee's 37 trio of coatings (paint/wheels/glass) that I'll be trying, having been using only sealants and waxes in the past. I think I have a grip on those, but the other product I'll be trying is Iron-X. I'm looking forward to the results, but I want to make sure I'm using it properly. From what I've gathered, I don't want it to dry on the paint so I'll avoid direct sunlight.
My questions are around when people are using it and dwell-time. Should I be using it after the car is washed and dried? Should the paint be completely dry or should it be wet, when applying the Iron-X? Once applied, the directions say to wait 5 minutes. Are you rubbing the Iron-X into the paint with a damp sponge? If you have to remove it after 5 minutes, how are people spraying down their entire cars with it, like I've seen? I would imagine having to work a panel or two at a time so I could wash it off right at 5 minutes.
Thanks for you responses!
