Perfect example

Of why brand new off the showroom floor cars are not necessarily free of contaminants. This has 401 miles on to be exact. After wash I noticed all the iron deposits and did a full decon. Winter prep in progress.

Yes, when I get my new car, next year, I'm gonna give it the business: IronX, nanosponge, polish/seal, wax.

Had the same thing with my new car, Off the truck and the dealer never washed it (Used CarPro Trix) the ground was all purple from contamination. I have pictures but this forum does not like my big photos so I cant be bothers to resize them now and upload (it should do it automatically IMO)

What did you see beforehand that let you know the contamination was present?

Warning, this post may be controversial:

I have a personal observation regarding Iron X and all like products.

I have Iron X but don't necessarily buy into the theory.

So a chemical reaction takes place between the contaminant and the Iron X or said like product and it bleeds purple because of the chemical. But based upon my use of the product it does not completely dissolve the contaminant in one application to where it's totally removed. I have experimented with this recently with one of our newer cars. I applied it and let it soak in for 15 minutes, rinsed it off and reapplied it and it was still bleeding purple.
As detailers the next step is to use an aggressive method like clay or "nanoskin" to remove the contaminant. So really what does the chemical reaction that takes place do other than identify that contaminants are present on the paint? Doesn't the .01 cent baggie test pretty much tell us that the paint has contaminants and to clay or skin it?

So for me, personally I'll not be investing in any more spray chemicals that turn purple, I'll just use the baggie test and go from there.

PS I work for a national distributor of cleaning supplies and equipment, ie: carpet extractors, floor scrubbers etc and THD bought us a year ago. Our core business is hospitals, hospitality, education and my personal expertise is food processing and packaging systems. I've been through a few manufacturers training schools in my time. 3M, SC Johnson, Spartan Chemicals to name a few. Cleaning and sanitizing afood processing plant is a little more sophiticated than deocontaminating paint. You don't get sick from licking your cars paint LOL.

Iron X has been a God send for me. It has made my life so much easier in this industry. I spray it on. let it dwell, then take a damp MF or wash mitt and go over the areas. 90% of them come off. The ones that don't come off, they clay out much easier than if they were not treated by the product. Here in WI we have a serious issue with iron deposits. Every spring they are horrible. Like I said, it literally has been a God send for me. I already spent 3 plus hours hand claying a white vehicle to remove all of them. Those days are far gone now since Iron X and Nanoskin Auto Scrub. I will never be without it in my cabinet!
