I took the baggie out of the box but I guess it's possible to have some type of dust on it. LOL. Here is one from the rear getting the hatch and drivers quarter panel. It feels as good as it looks. 10 year old Silver Metallic it really looks great. This is the hatch just about center looking...

Used the IRON X to get the rust spots out of the paint, worked perfect. Clay barred the whole car. Really nothing on the clay bar to write home about. I think the IRON X pulled just about everything out of the finish. Paint is like glass to my bare hands. FAILS the baggie test though. It feels...

Hi Tim, I'm using the 5.5 so I'll drop the speed a hair. The paint feels fantastic with my bare hands, like glass. This whole baggie thing has got me crazy. LOL... Think I'm gonna take your advice and ditch the baggie. Thanks :xyxthumbs:

Used a white pad and some Menzerna Final Polish. Did pretty well but I can still feel some grit in the test area. Think I'll go to a touch more aggressive pad and see where that gets me. What speed should I use the PC 7424 on? At 6 the paint gets hot. No more for today I'm beat... LOL

When I ran my hand across it I was super proud of my work. Once I did the bag thing I was disappointed. I have about 8 hours into the IRON X and clay barring, for sure didn't take any short cuts. Paint looks best I have seen it in 10 years, just super failure of the baggie test. I'll get the...

For what it's worth the paint looks fantastic. I can't find anything on it or in it. To my hand it's super smooth, with the baggie it feels like sandpaper. I have not polished it yet, is this why it's not smooth? :buffing:

It feels like glass until I use the baggie. I used a Meguires white bar, have no idea what level it is.

OK, IRON X worked great as I have said. :dblthumb2: Just busted my tail clay barring the car. The clay never even got dirty, guess the IRON X works on all the crap in the paint. LOL. Anyway after washing it again I put my hand in a plastic baggie. Feels like I'm running my fingertips over sand...

BTW getting the rust off the whole car, only took about 3 1/2 hours with the IRON X. That allowed for application, rinsing and drying between each application. :xyxthumbs: Of course the clay bar and detailing is still going to be done. I expect another 5-6 hours at least.

Alright I just couldn't wait and went out this morning as the sun came up. This Florida heat is brutal, wanted to get a jump on the sun and the temps. For those interested, this is what I found and the process when I started. Car had HUNDREDS of little rust specks in the paint. Sat near train...

Excellent information. Thanks for those details, will make my project a little easier. :dblthumb2:

WOW! This stuff works!!!! 3 applications of 4 minutes each, followed with a soft damp cloth, wash, dry, reapply. No rubbing, scrubbing, or worn out shoulders, man this was a pleasure. :xyxthumbs: I only got the deck lid done so far. Will be days of a little here and there before I can clay bar...

Thanks for the tips. :xyxthumbs:

Excellent, thanks. What about the rubber trim around the windows, safe?

OK guy's the product arrived Tuesday as expected. Today I did a small test on my deck lid. It worked fairly well. Spray on, let sit for 2-3 minutes, rub with soft cloth, hose off. I followed up with a clay bar of the area but maybe 50% of what was there was removed. I believe it raises the...
