    And yet another ironx ?

    I don't appear to have much iron in my water so does ironx remove any other contaminants or am i wasting money and time using X before claying, of course not counting wheels? ?

    Re: And yet another ironx ?

    I can't tell you whether you are wasting money. However, when there is no change in color there isn't too many iron particles. In my case, I cannot even think about using Iron X. I live in So Cal Land of the Fruits and Nuts!! We have a severe water restriction guidelines and if anyone say me using a hose or even Iron X with a water hose I would be in trouble and fined.

    My point being is that I have worked on a few cars within 2 months. I did full details, Rinseless Wash, Clayed, Compound/Polish and Sealant/Wax and they came out awesome. I did not use Iron-X. If I had the opportunity to use it I probably would for an extra safe bet.

    IMO you are covering all your bases which is a good thing. So I would keep on using it on maybe test spots and if there isn't much change then maybe you do not need to use it. Save it for a real dirty car.

    Iron content in your water is irrelevant. That will cause water spots not iron contamination. Iron X is meant to dissolve contamination from rail dust, brake pads material, etc....

    IMO:
    One intention of IronX is to remove iron, and
    iron-particulates from the vehicle's paint;
    wheels; and other components...

    Not so much the iron (a secondary water contaminate)
    that's often found in residential (and commercial, too)
    water sources.
