Hey guys,

I finally had a chance to use Iron-X paste on a fairly contaminated car. The vehicle was a silver 2009 FX35 with the infamous scratchshield paint.

During the wash, the paint felt like it had a moderate amount of contamination. I know for a fact that it had not been clayed in 18 months and is parked outside 24/7.

I applied the Iron-x paste to the paint (what was still somewhat wet) and waited 5-7 minutes before rinsing off. For each panel, I used about a quarter-sized amount. However, other than the hood, I did not see much of the purple color change.

The Nanoskin Med wash mitt did seem to remove the contaminants a bit quicker than I expected, but there was still a decent amount of contamination on the paint. So, the Iron-X did not make the drastic difference that I was expecting.

Was there an issue with my application process, or was it possible that this particular vehicle did not have much embedded rail dust?

Thanks.

The most probable explanation would be that your car does not have much iron contaminants, more towards organic contaminants.
