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

    Great article Mike.

    Iron contamination isn't only reserved for older vehicles either aye Mike. For reasons unknown (because no one has found out or bothered to get back to me) Ford New Zealand appears to park their new vehicles near a rail yard when they arrive in New Zealand or at least before they're shipped here.

    I had a run of New Fords at the shop from the local Ford dealership that had heavy Iron contamination.





    Nice bump on this one Mike. Iron removers are kind of an unsung hero, or at least we take them for granted a little.

    if there was ever a prize for the best iron remover/decontamination photo this Ford would definitely be a contender.

    Thanks Aaryn,

    Had to do a little "thinking" to figure out how to explain this to the average car owner.

    I tell people it's an OPTIONAL step, you don't have to do it but in my experience and opinion, like I share in the first post of this thread, it's good insurance to at least use it ONCE for your initial detail anytime you,

    • Buy a new car
    • Buy a used car

    I honestly thought I had the worst case of that. But boy was I wrong. That Ford is out on another level...all on its own.

    Plenty of crap on them coming from your way as well,,,rail dust was fairly common on most cars coming from Japan in the 90's but I'm not really sure if it was from train rides to or from the docks,sitting in big yards waiting to be shipped or from transport trucks.

    We mainly used acid based fallout remover for it or a claybar ,,times have changed though and I should probably order some sort of Iron Remover,,it's probably a lot less caustic than acid based products,,and more gentle.

    This is my brand new fresh off the truck 2019 GT/CA Special.



















    Then I go right to the foam bath after the iron remover has had time to dwell

    Thanks for sharing.....


    Makes the point and just goes to show...


    You don't know if your car's paint is contaminated until you use a color-changing iron remover.

    But remember - it's better to use an iron remover and NOT see any color changing effect than it is to use an iron remover and find out your car's paint is/was chemically contaminated.


    If it does change colors then you have peace-of-mind that you have removed the corrosion-causing substances to stop the attack and deterioration.



    Remember the factory clear on a new car is only 2 mils thin. So do your due diligence and then take the proper steps.
