Is iron X really needed?
I recently freshened up my 2014 Avalon with a flex 3401 and menzerna fg400 and 3500 but no iron X. It came out great and I removed almost every paint defect besides deep scratches.
Is that stinky stuff really needed? I'm just trying to decide because I'm doing my black Toyota sequoia next.
Thanks guys

I think so depending on how clean you want the paint. The IronX sort of dissolves things in the paint not on the paint. The idea is to allow as much light as possible to reflect back to the eye. When you clay and use a product like iron X it just pulls that much more dirt out of the paint to allow for more light to reflect the surrounding for a better shine.

I generally always use some kinda Iron Remover but, aside from one vehicle, rarely get any of the fantastic-icle bleeding everyone shows in pictures. And I live in NE Ohio, a place where our river caught fire in the 70's and they still require emissions testing due to poor air quality. One would think this would be a prime area for industrial fallout/contamination. CarPro Iron-X, Gyeon Iron, Sonax Fallout Remover...none give me the visual entertainment I see from some folks. *sigh*
I feel cheated...

I bought my car when it was 2 years old. I could actually see the pits and pot marks in the hood starting to turn orange in the sunlight. The Iron remover got rid of it in 1 treatment is

This is exactly my experience also. Even so, I would not skip the Iron remover step - especially if I am going to apply a ceramic coating to the vehicle. Makes good sense to consider it "insurance" as Mike points out...
