Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike.
I tried taking before and after pictures of the dirt staining in the paint but the before and after difference didn't show up in the shots.

Was thinking about this for people that do Rinseless washes and still want to chemically decontaminate the paint.
Remember - The manufacturer does not recommend this or suggest it as an option. This was a Mike Phillips use of the product and the only reason I used it this way was because,
A: As a best practice and a professional courtesy to owners of classic cars and muscle cars I don't get them wet with running water due to rust issues down the road.
B: The brakes are not working in this Barn Find (yet) and so it makes moving the car around cumbersome.
Even if the brakes were working I still wouldn't run a hose over it but that's just me.
The trick to how I used Iron X on this project was really simple though...
1. Lots of clean, dry microfiber towels.
2. Lots of Waterless Wash to liquefy and wipe the residues off.
With a Rinseless wash it would be easier, faster and safer.
And of course with a car that has a basecoat/clearcoat finish instead of an antique single stage finish it would also be a LOT safer.
