    Iron X needed for new vehicle?

    I first started using Iron X in 2011 when I took ownership of my Kia Optima. When I officially took ownership I was in the middle of my 7th day of 9 straight working 12hr shifts. I was tired so the excitement of my new car took the backseat for a few days because it was all about work and sleep...

    Claying a black car

    I've used the Meguiar's clay several times and never had any issues with it. I've heard most clay in the US comes from the same place anyway. However, you might want to buy a second bottle of quik detailer. As others have mentioned you need to really lube the surface and the supplied bottle of...

    Suggestions for wash microfibers

    I have been using the 2 bucket wash method for the last couple summers but this year I want to try using Gary Dean's wash method so I need to find some nice plush microfibers that will be good for washing the car down with. What do you guys suggest here at AG for good microfibers to wash the car...

    Electric power washer recommendation?

    I have a Homelite 2700psi w/ Honda engine. Works great. Just brought it out for the first time this spring and it started up just fine after our crappy NE Ohio winter. I had the Ryobi 1700 electric but took it back. Wasnt that great IMO but I also accredit that to poor water pressure too.

    Cleaning Microfibers ?

    I use woolite on permanent press and extra rinse cycle. I dont believe in microfiber soap. Soap is soap. As long as its fragrance free and softener free. 15 minute air fluff in dryer, then remove and air dry rest of the way and they are good to go. I will then give them a quick 1-2 fluff on...

    Foam cannon soap thread

    CG's Honeydew Snow Foam here w/ my foam cannon. Nice thick suds so I haven't really felt the need to try any others, although I would like to compare to Mr. Pink.

    Iron X

    I see what you're saying. That was kind of a infomercial way of endorsing the product but hey I'm sorry I really like this stuff. I sincerely hope people aren't that easily swayed and do proper research regardless of the language I used in my post. I have no interest in coating at this time but...

    Iron X

    My car is a hatch, not a SUV or mid size sedan so I can get it sprayed down very quickly. When I do my wife's SUV though my approach is by doing one side at a time. I also don't use the supplied spray bottle. I have a Kwazar spray bottle which helps speed things up. Then I take my microfiber...

    Iron X

    That may be a better way of doing it than the way I do it because you can concentrate on one panel at a time and not use so much. I like to hit my whole car with it real good all at once and then use my power washer so its easier for me that way. Thats my method but again its not the only...

    Iron X

    I just looked at my first post and no where did I say its a must have. I said dont underestimate what it can do for you and tried to explain the advantages. If you dont think you have a use for it, thats fine. Some vehicles are more prone to iron and industrial fallout than others. The fact is...

    Iron X

    If you're using less and that works for you thats great. I use quite a bit and it doesn't hurt to do so since its PH safe for car paint. I live next to Railroad tracks so I notice quite a bit of iron, even after the first application so maybe that is why I need more than others. Besides wheels...

    Iron X

    Thanks for trying to correct my information but I guarentee you that I have taken off tar and sap using iron X by using a mocrofiber sponge and slightly agitating the area. I have used both products and have no reason to misinform. Maybe TRIX took other stuff off easier, but I also felt like it...

    Iron X

    Just so you are aware, they sell it in 500ml & 1 liter spray bottles, as well as gallon jugs. I have a hatchback and it usually takes 1 liter to do whole car appropriately. That includes hitting wheels. All depends on your vehicle as to what you will need. My wifes SUV takes 1 liter plus a...

    Iron X

    No it does not. What it does is decontaminate very well, meaning it removes ferrous iron, tar, sap and other things stuck to your paint. You will still need to clay but man does it make the job go so much faster. I get my claying done in less than half the time it took me before. Anytime you...

    Rant: Body shop kindly washed my car...

    Lesson learned for next time. Hope the correction goes well. I always make sure the dealer knows NOT to touch my car. They look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them.
