Clay bar and Ironx?
Should I clay bar and then Ironx or other way around? Or only one or the other?
There is rail dust on my moms car.

Re: Clay bar and Ironx?
On another thread I read, one poster experimented with the order, and found when he used Iron-X first, it was easier to clay and he got less contamination on the clay bar. I Iron-X a section, rinse w/ ONR solution, then immediately clay while car is still wet - saves a drying step.

Re: Clay bar and Ironx?
When introducing new products and processes into your routine, it helps to think about the process logically...
Consider the purpose of both products. IronX is used to remove bonded iron particles. Detailing clay is used to remove all bonded contaminates.
If you were to use Iron X after claying, there would be very little (or hopefully no) iron contaminates remaining for the product to remove. With that being said, it would make most sense to use IronX first to eliminate the iron particles before claying, thus leaving less contamination for you to remove with the clay bar and therefore (hopefully) saving you time using the clay bar (or synthetic clay substitute).
Hope that helps

Re: Clay bar and Ironx?
Ditto everything said. I use Iron-X, and always before claying.

I just did my wifes crosstrek. It made the claying much easier. I clayed the whole car in about 40 mins and it felt smooth. I am polishing and sealing now.
