Iron X Bleeding Effect While Cleaning Brake Dust Off Wheel



Dave parks his truck outside 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and he's not really into the appearance" aspect of car maintenance. He's a heck of a great welder just not much of a detailer...

To me this is one of the most important procedures you can do to anything painted as it dissolves the iron particles out of the paint which prevents them from causing the paint to deteriorate.

As it relates to painted body panels on a car...
I've seen first hand the scratching inflicted into car paint when iron particles were in fact removed by claying. The clay removed the iron particles but because you're rubbing the clay over the paint during the process you can't help but to rub the iron particles over the paint and this is where the scratching comes from.

Then of course you have to machine compound the paint to remove the scratches. This removes paint and paint is already thin to start with. So it makes sense to dissolve the iron particles FIRST and then clay the paint.

Iron X isn't a replacement for tools like clay or the Speed Prep Towel for removing above surface bonded contaminants but instead is the a step you want to perform before claying.


Car Insurance
This is key, IronX is like Car Insurance. Car Insurance is a necessary evil. It's something you want to have but you never want to use it.

IronX products are the same way, you don't want to have iron contamination on your wheels or your painted body panels, but if you do have this type of contamination you want to remove it.

So if you spray IronX onto your wheels or body panels and don't see the bleeding-effect, don't feel let down, that's actually a good sign.

The IronX bleeding effect is like water beading,

It looks cool...


And it's intriguing to watch. But if you think about the ramifications of what seeing the bleeding effect means, it's not a good thing and thus you really don't want to see it.


Make sense?

I also share that in this article on how to wash your car. If you read the article, not simply scan it, you'll find the pertinent portion.

Here's my friend Dave by the way....


Behold Behemoth! - Cleaned & Sealed with DP Poli-Coat







And here's the truck he built...






He's helping me to build my new truck including doing some of the welding work so I repay him by taking care of his detailing needs...

Great article Mike!

This really highlights all the important aspects of incorporating Iron-X into a proper detailing regiment. It may not always be needed but I'd rather not need it and have it than not have it and need it.

Well said.

Are there any type of wheels or surfaces this stuff is not recommended for?

Great post Mike and great video!

IronX can be used on any wheel , and as you saw here chrome too.

Good product but smells bad.
Faster reaction time than Wolf Decon gel and stronger cleaning than Sonax wheel cleaner.

Man that behemoth sure looks shiny! I bet no one cuts him off in traffic! Am I right? lol

I got to get me one of those!

(The IronX not the behemoth :-), I'll wait till the Behemoth is on BOGO)
