That looks like iron deposits above paint. I would keep using an iron remover until gone.

Steam clean it.

I have the Black and I use it with a Pancake dewalt compressor. It works for DD DIY stuff but not for production detailing. It will only work well for few minutes, but I have time. I use it mostly under the hood and tough to get at interior panels.

Wet sand with 3000 grit a small section and then polish with compound and pad that can remove the sanding scratches. Inspect your results and go from there. They may be powder coated and the only way I know to test is use a fine polish and see if it goes black or white. Black is powder coat...

The Nano kit is pretty expensive, but does great work (1" and 2" pads and polishes and compound). You can get 1" and 2" backing plates that fit on drill bits and use with a flexible shaft. Or you can do by hand (you can get good results if patient). A dremel spins way too fast 30,000 + rpm-it...

Have used the McKees wax remover and works ok. Need to let it sit for a bit and then wipe off. Only used on paint so far.

I think the problem, if any, is not the application of the ONR. It is the drying stage. ONR once on paint (I use the sponge) it moves the dirt off the surface and into the solution. Some is picked up by the trailing edge of the sponge. The rest is absorbed by the drying towel. I personally...

These are my go to pads. Easy to use and easy to clean. Make a 3" polisher work.

The one I use is fine.

Wow I have done the baggy test for 4 years and never had a problem. Run the test, Speedy Prep Towel, run test and repeat. If you can see pitting or chips of course they are going to make the grinding sound because they are not smooth. I have black stripes down entire hood, roof and trunk...

Bought a package about 2 months ago when weather was still pretty bad and never tried it until now. Seems to have been around since the 1920's. Skeptical that a cloth dragged across the dirty paint was a good thing? First trial Hood of DD, which sat in garage overnight, with 2 day's dust...

Gtechniq Wheel Armor on bare aluminum machine polished by myself. Put on at start on winter and lasted all through 5 months on my DD. I used Permanon (Hydro2 like product) to spot clean but mostly ONR washed. They kept their shine and were super easy to clean. If I were to do again I would...

Check out the Collenite website, it ranks their products.

C3 and C4 will keep idefinnetly if you do the following: Seal the cap with masking tape. Store inside in 65 to 72 F temperature. Keep in dark space. That is direct from the manufacturer. Should be same for CQuartz

Obviously ONR is what you need. Quick Detailer's work good for spot cleaning light dirt or drying aid. ONR encapsulates the dirt and removes from the surface which reduces the risk.

Absolutely use the wax on the rims. The heat is not on the rims from braking (it is on the calipers). Test yourself (carefully) touch your rims around the tire bead. It will be warm but hardly hot. If you like you can touch the calipers and burn your finger, but I would advise against it...

I used to be able to buy the gel IronX here on AG and it was my go to for rust removal on wheels. Sticks well and cleans iron particles well. I then would do a quick second coat of regular Iron X just to check if totally free of iron particals. I paint my wheels almost every 6 months so I am...

Jeff 97223, Read the article and it will answer your questions.

Do a test spot. Pick a small really bad section and test various products. The baggy test will tell you tons. Lacquer Thinner is most aggresive and clay least. Compoud will also remove overspray but it is time consuming. I had some from body shop visit and it was very far away from the...
