F350 coating maintenance/ Meguiars Iron Decon review!

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Happy New Years everyone! Let 2019 be happy and successful!


So to close out 2018 I had the pleasure of heading out to my buddies shop to perform and coating maintenance service and interior detail. This F350 platinum I coated exactly a year ago and although he has washed it and kept up with it it was definitely in need of some decontamination.

And it just so happens I had Meguiars new iron decon waiting to be used.

First off I cleaned up the wheels and tires with my normal combo of Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel and LATA.

Then I foamed it with Hyper dressing and gave it a thorough wash before rinsing it off. The instructions on the Meguiars Iron Decon says to use on a dry surface so I went ahead and dried off the vehicle. Now if it wasn't so dirty I would have skipped the initial wash but I wanted to remove all the surface grime first.


Next I loaded up some of the Meguiars Iron Decon in a cheep pump sprayer and began spraying.

After letting it dwell I rinsed off the exterior with my pressure washer and it had removed the iron deposits without issues!

Next I continued my decon process with a light clay process with nanoskin fine grade towel and water spot removal with IGL Delete.

Paint was topped with IGL Premier as was the glass and trim.

Back to looking fresh!

How would describe the viscosity of their iron remover? Looks like it really held on!

Not super watery but not really thick. It's actually right in the middle. Thin enough that it sprayed out nicely but thick enough to cling.

Thanks bud. Have to give credit. They did a great job with it.

Nice work and write up!

Looks like it been driven here in Sweden LOL. Nice when an iron remover only needs to be PW rinsed off. Will be intresting to see what the price will be here in Sweden of the D180. If they are going to be offering it here. But the strong dollar to the swedish Krona I think they are not going to take this in. With a good sale you get a great price on it.

Thanks for the reply!

Would you say the smell is better or worse than Iron X or Sonax Full Effect? I still can't used to smell of these products.

How would you rate the Meguiars D1801 against other iron remover, at decon?

I may have to pick up a gallon thanks for the review.

Justin, how does this compare to McKee’s Iron remover?

Mckees is the other one I like. Pretty comparable price point. Mckees is a bit thicker if I remember correctly but takes a little longer to react. Been awhile since I used it.

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I'll say that Meg's isn't watery by any means. It's fairly thick, but not tooooooooooo thick like some others.
