Re: The Car Insurance Analogy for using an Iron Remover by Mike Phillips
When I applied IronX to my CLS550 not too much color change happened, which was gratifying. What are your thoughts on using an iron remover on a fabric convertible top (both light and dark colored)?

Re: The Car Insurance Analogy for using an Iron Remover by Mike Phillips
Thanks Mike - that's truly impressive!
In my case, the light colored top is only a few years old (a replacement top for a 911). It is regularly cleaned so I think it is in good shape. I have an interesting small greenish spot on it but that's a question for another post. The black one is on a 2006 Mini of unknown history. I might try a light spray of IronX to see what happens. Will report back.

Maybe test to a inconspicuous area first.
I'll test some on some black canvas tomorrow and see if there's any negative reaction.

Just for your reference, below is a very detailed how-to article with lots of pictures showing how to safely and correctly wash and then protect a convertible top using RaggTopp products.
NEW Haartz/RaggTopp Convertible Top Brush - How to clean and protect a convertible top
Plus a technique I developed instead of following the directions. (something I rarely do)

Re: The Car Insurance Analogy for using an Iron Remover by Mike Phillips
The first time I ever used a product like that, my neighbor's daughter ran her front drivers side brake metal to metal for about two months. Come spring, most of the left side and rear was heavily contaminated. The door of the Ford Mustang was about completely coated. The Meguiar's aggressive clay wasn't doing much of anything.
It would have been a very, very difficult task removing all that iron with a clay bar. It even took over half the 16oz bottle to remove it all. Like three or four applications on that door alone. I really wish I had taken pictures of that before and after.
