The Car Insurance Analogy for using an Iron Remover by Mike Phillips

An iron remover is one of those products you want to use but you don't actually want it to work - Mike Phillips


Using an iron remover is like buying car insurance, you want to have it but you don't really want to use it because that means you were in an accident and this is never any fun. That said, it's important to have car insurance for financial, physical and emotional peace of mind just in case you are involved in an accident.

When you use an iron remover, you don't actually want to see iron contamination via the very visual bleeding-effect as this means your car's exterior is contaminated. Contamination means deterioration has been taking place. That's never a good thing and especially considering how thin clearcoat layer of paint is from the factory.

Like having car insurance, it's a good idea to use an iron remover on your car's exterior, but like car insurance, you really don't have to use it or in the case of an iron remover you don't actually want to see any color changing or bleed-effect take place as this would mean your car's exterior is not contaminated.

It would be better to see nothing and have peace of mind. The price of the iron remover is a minimal compared to knowing your paint was not contaminated.

If you do see the color changing or bleeding effect, then you have peace of mind knowing the contamination has been removed and the deterioration has been stopped.


The only way to really know if your car is contaminated is to use some insurance i.e. use an iron remover...

Yes it was. Thank you Sir 🙂
 
its exciting to use on white paint. I make bets every time I use it if it will bleed or not
 
Mike,

What about those valuable cars that you don't want to get wet?

Do you just do the waterless wash, then clay and then polish? And bypass the iron-x?

Good question. I work on a lot of classics that they don't want hosed down. I think I saw a video somewhere of using Iron-X per panel and wiping off with a mitt and water/wash solution (did it indoors).
