Any precautiions with Iron X?

**05RLS2** · 08-19-2014, 12:48 AM

I've noticed some rail dust on my new white car, and I want to get it all off when I detail it and apply a good LSP. I have been looking at going with Iron X, and I was wondering how safe is it? My car has all kinds of chrome plastic trim, and I don't want it or anything else on my new car to get messed up. Are there any places that Iron X should not come in contact, any precautions I should take when using it?

It is very safe. You don't need to worry.

It seems like a never ending battle with the iron deposits on my fiance's new white Accord. I can see EVERYTHING on the paint and since it's parked outside 24/7 it gets a lot of crap on it.

It should be safe for the surfaces of the vehicle, however I would advise you wear some nitrile gloves, safety goggles and avoid breathing in any of it.

Don't let it dry on the car.

Rinse thoroughly, and when you think you are done, rinse it again just to be sure

Thanks everyone. I'll be adding Iron X to my list of things to order. The list is adding up quick, lol. I can't wait to get a few days off where I can get my car looking really good.

A MUST!!! Very safe, since it smells so bad that you definitely won't be tempted to drink it LOL!

Precautions outside of harm to the car, you might wear a mask and gloves, be on the safe side.

apply out of the sun and on a calm day if possible. that will give you a longer dwell time.

Don't drink it.

In all honesty, if you've never used it before; use it outside. I'm not sure if the fumes are dangerous, but they sure are unpleasant. I'd never use IronX even in an open garage if I could avoid it. Blech.

I'll be sure to use gloves and a mask with it, thanks. It sounds like horrible smelling stuff.

Take a dirty diaper and enter the contents into a bowl. Pour in a good helping of ammonia, toss in some rotten eggs, and let it sit in the sun for about a week. That's more/less what IronX smells like.
