After it's sprayed on, do you immediately rub with a damp sponge, let dwell for 5 minutes, then rinse? Or, spray on, let dwell for 5 minutes, rub with damp sponge, then rinse?
 
You can actually let it dry, much like the Wolf stuff. You only need to adjertate it on really dirty surfaces.

Just increase the dwell time for increased effect -- I did that section faster just for demo purposes.
 
Pardon my ignorance but with the iron x spray what's the point? Why wouldn't you just remove everything with clay. Seems like it would not be cost effective to spray the car down. How many cars can you do with one bottle? What's the difference between the spray and the soap? Why is this a needed product over claying?

Hi
very simple, clay dont remove all the iron particles that baked into the paint clear coat
it only shave the above surface, ironx will dissolve anything above and in the paint

1 bottle can do 3~`4 cars , depend on the size of it

the soap gel is less powerful, but still, if you let it seat on surface for a while it will dissolve as well all irons
the soap is car shampoo as well, thats the major difference

Avi,

So you're saying the soap gell is just as effective as IronX spray if you let it dwell?
 
Thanks Avi! Im going to go ahead and try some out (the spray) and see what happens. Thanks for your reply.

yes, if you leave it for some time it will dissolve irons, the soapgel need to leave on surface , to work it on, not to wash it imidiatly

there wont be much left to clay after ironx , maybe tar or traffic film left...

When is the clay alternative coming out from CarPro?
 
I always spray on let it dwell for 5 minutes or so and then rinse off. I know it Avi and others have said to take a wet sponge and rub it into the paint, but I honestly think that it's an extra step and so far I have not run into any issues using it this way. And it has saved me a lot of clay.

Never used the IronX soap, so can't comment on that.
 
Not to thread jack, but for those who use this on customers cars, is it used as an alternative to clay? Or do some use it in addition to clay?
If its used in addition to clay what do you charge?

For me its the first step in a two step decontamination process.

Even though I use Iron X, I always follow up with clay afterwards.
 
I use the gel exclusively and a little goes a looong way. I let it dwell about 5 minutes then rinse. If my clients are lurking while I work, I love to point out the purple run off. They think I am using a magical product. It's not witchcraft, it's CarPro! Like SeaJay's, I too am saving on clay big time.

:iagree: I've found that IronX is actually pretty economical once you figure out a good process. It also helps that I bought the 5L jug of it which reduces the price per ounce quite a bit.

And I agree, the product turning purple and running off makes for a great visual representation and demonstration of just how much contamination gets on a vehicle.
