    Thoughts on iron x

    I've been watching a lot of Mike Phillips videos and haven't seen him use ironx. It may just be the ones I have seen. If I want to do the best possible job should I use it? Are there any downsides?

    Zaino switch

    Good thoughts but I didn't let the dealer touch the truck before taking delivery. The Meg's ultimate got rid of the film and waterspots but now facing cobwebs. Is there something better to hide these than the z5? Thanks for the warm welcome.
