Re: Decontaminating and Foam Gun Washing a Barn Find by Mike Phillips - GTechniq Citrus Foam and Iron and Fallout Remover
Another great thread Mike. I consider myself a lurker here for a few reasons. I like to read and learn about things. I usually will post If I can help someone with a problem or have a question myself. with all my reading on chemical contamination I have yet to find a solution to my question on my own.
I know there are many chemical decontamination products and most say they use them on white or lighter cars because they are easier to see the results. Well I have a Black car and have used iron x and mckees37 and can't see the results. I know they work but how can I tell?
My real question is could any one of the manufacturers of these products introduce some kind of alternative "dye" or whatever they use for the color changing effect to make it easier for the black or darker car owners to visually see? maybe I overlooked this in my searches but I have never found an answer.

Nick Rutter and Joe Metlow were driving by on their way to lunch while I was spraying the car down and they were shocked to see how much bleeding was coming off the paint.

I had numerous co-workers come by in the garage while I was hammering on the paint with the FLEX 3401 and they all pretty much laughed said the same thing, that there was no hope for the paint...
This ain't my first rodeo, been here and done this with beaters as much as anyone and probably more than anyone...

Thanks for sharing the above, it's always been the company goal and my goal to make this the best car detailing discussion forum on the Internet. Yeah I know everyone with a phone and a thumb is going to Facebook but you simply cannot share quality information that actually can help people to "learn" using tiny messages boxes.

You simply must look closely. I've chemically decontaminated black and dark colored cars, and even in my classes and I focus the students eyes onto the paint and tell them to LOOK plus you can see the red color dripping onto the ground.

That's a great idea and also a great question for a chemist.

I believe it helped a lot. The paint on this car was in horrible condition. Absolutely horrible. After decontaminating the paint I washed the hell out of it and that along started it towards the end results. Hammering on it HARD with the FLEX 3401 took the results over the top all things considered. A free spinning orbital polisher, any brand, would not have made dent in paint.

Aaryn NZ.
Thanks Aaryn,
The good news is this car has now moved onto the Grasso Garage where there doing a safety check and updating all the mechanicals. Their body man is also pulling the dent out of the nose of the hood and then I think they're going to upgrade the interior. When they're done I'll post an update.
