    Think you don't need Iron-X,think again

    I keep my truck in what I think is very good shape for a 2005 daily driver. I washed it yesterday and the lawn guys came today & blew stuff all over it. I rinsed it off & since it was wet,I sprayed Iron X on one panel and don't ya know there were the telltale purple worms running down the paint,not many but they were there. Ended up doing the whole truck. The truck is Toyota single stage white and you could not see any speck at all on the paint,but they were there. Live & learn

    You know what's funny, I did the same thing to my fathers 2004 White Tacoma 2 days ago and took a few pics but deleted them last night because I didn't think I'd need them for any reason + I was clearing out space on my phone.

    When I read your post I went to look if I somehow spared those pics but nope. Lol

    If you apply a good paint sealant snow foam should not remove it.

    I agree.

    Somewhere on this forum I explain iron removers for paint like car insurance.

    You want to have car insurance but you don't actually want to have to use it as this probably means you were in an accident or something bad has happened.

    You want to use an iron remover but you don't actually want to see it working as that would mean your paint had iron contamination. It's better to NOT have iron contamination but if you see the bleeding effect it's good to know you're removed the contamination.



    I always use an iron remover when I wash my truck and once in a while on the wife's white colored MB.

    Yes, I realize that & was planning on applying a sealant after polishing. While I hated to see the purple worms,I like that it showed I made a good call prior to polishing the truck.

    For me at 29.99 ironx soap is a no brainer.i cut it 50/50 and still deos the same job as a 29.00 small bottle of ironx.Tested on a summit white camaro peppered with iron work the same.
