Re: The Aggressive Approach to Washing a Car
Mike - some of us live in water restricted areas where normal rinse at home is not permitted. Suggestions for us ONR/rinseless folks to use as an alternative?

Re: The Aggressive Approach to Washing a Car
Marvelous, I'm sure to follow your steps when preparing a car for polishing / full detail.
Preparation takes time, but if you're after doing things the proper way a solid basis is mandatory to avoid headaches in middle and the end.
For sure I'm grateful for all effort you (Mike) put into sharing 'Smart' working ideas, noticeable in the latest series of threads you're releasing lately.
Thank you,
Kind Regards.

Very nice Mike. The prep work is just as important as the correction process.

Re: The Aggressive Approach to Washing a Car
When I use iron-x, I would rinse after letting the product sit for 5-7 minutes, I don't agitate the product. It seems like you guys went right into the 2BM after letting the iron-x work. Is that way more effective than rinsing right away?

Mike, are you spraying iron x on a dry dirty car, letting it sit, then foaming and going to the 2bm? I usually will wash the car first then spray iron x on the rinsed but still wet paint. Do you get better results doing it your way?

Related question - If car is washed first, is is preferable to apply the IronX to the paint when it is still wet (as stated above) or should the car be dried first and IronX applied to clean but dry paint?

Re: The Aggressive Approach to Washing a Car
I wash the dirt off first, then iron-x when it's wet, especially if it's heavily soiled. And I don't see a point in risking scratching anymore than what's needed, so I don't dry it in between.
But I wouldn't mind hearing a precise breakdown to Mike's process.
