Good afternoon. Quick question for the forum:
I picked up some IronX at the last sale, and right now I'm claying an '04 Explorer that has really only been washed at the car wash for years. Thought I would go over it with the IronX as the next step, before compounding. While all of the pictures show it sprayed all over the wheels, I could swear I read somewhere to avoid the brake calipers. Seemed to make sense, particularly if one has semi-metallic brakes that you wouldn't want to do any damage to. Yet, I would want to remove contaminants from the exterior portion of the calipers. Should I cover them with plastic before spraying? Any other precautions to take? Other than hold my nose, and not let it dry in the sun? Thanks in advance for your advice.
