It's now been 4 hrs since I applied Ironx to my wifes car and followed it with an insane amount of water to flush it out of the trim but it is still bleeding from two spots on the trim. I can't possibly force more water into the area than I already have. Any tips to stop the bleeding?

Tourniquet?

Oops... I'm sorry, bad joke.


A real suggestion...
Maybe try drying the car around the block a few times to sling out excess product via centrifugal force and then re-rinse.

Repeat if it's still an issue...


Another option, try blowing are in troubled areas and then try the above?

Is the trim rusted or is the trim held on with a mechanical fastener from behind?

Better do something; or your car will bleed to death :(

Try a leaf blower.

It's a 2007 Chevy equinox. I drove it around town running errands for about an hour and when I came back it had stopped...or so I thought. About 10 min. later it started running again and still is right now. I've cleaned it up several times but it just keeps coming. I keep hoping it'll clot but so far no luck. It's plastic trim half way down the door and I have no idea what kind of clips it has. Seems like everything is plastic on the vehicle so I'm not sure where all of this is coming from. I guess I'll have to see what it does overnight. Thanks for the responses.

This would be an absolute nightmare if you did this profesionally. I couldn't imagine having to phone a customer and explain to them that their car won't stop bleeeding

Maybe duct tape will stop it. I cut my finger real bad once and duct tape stop the bleeding

do you have a shop vac(the blows) or air compressor?
