Dumb question on using iron remover for first time

[mckobe]

Any of you ever spray an iron x product before you even rinse the vehicle?

Yes, I always use it like that.

I think of it almost like a pre wash foam step, except in this case it actually removes not only dirt but iron contaminants.

The only drawback is not being able to agitate [at least I won’t] when sprayed onto a vehicle that hasn’t been pre rinsed. On the other hand, if you pre rinse you run the risk of having some of the iron remover not only dilute, but run off the surface onto the ground. Pick your poison...

Or if you want to go complete OCD style you could pre rinse, wash, dry, then apply iron remover and repeat all those steps afterwards. That’s if you got the time and it’s your own car and don’t care how long it takes.

I do it pre rinse as well. I’ve not tried to foam it on via an IK sprayer but I’d like to try

The only problem I ever had was on wheel center caps, look like the product went inside the coat and totally trashed it

Always for me. I coat the car in Iron-X before the car gets wet. Avoids diluting the product. Then after letting it dwell rinse and proceed to wash.

I apply after 2 degreasing washes. I like to keep rewetting the panels the iron remover by wiping the panels with a MF and I wouldn't do that on a dirty car. I apply it to the first panels that were washed first which have pretty much air dried by then. I don't want any road film to keep the iron remover from being in total contact with the panel.
