Dodo Juice Ferro Lube-Clay Lube/Fallout Remover Review

[Pats300zx]

While I was at Detail Fest this year I had the chance to stop by the Dodo Juice booth and talk to PJ about some new products that he was planning on releasing this year in the United States. One product that caught by eye was the Dodo Juice Ferro Lube. This product is essentially a clay lube and iron decontamination/fallout product in one. PJ was gracious enough to give me a bottle to see what I thought of the product.

Product Description:

Dodo Juice Supernatural Ferro Lube Iron Remover/Car Clay Lube Spray 500ml



An integrated clay lube and iron remover – carry out both decontamination stages in one process.

Why use fallout remover and then clay, when you can combine both stages with Supernatural Ferro Lube? Unlike standard iron removers that can be used as a clay lube, Supernatural Ferro Lube is a dedicated product, based on Dodo Juices famous clay lube recipes.

Usage:

I figured the proper way to test out Ferro Lube and see the true benefits of the decon would be to try it on my 2012 White Jeep Wrangler. I grabbed a new Meguiars white clay bar and sprayed the hood liberally with the Ferro Lube and per the directions waited about 3-4 minutes to see if I got a color change.
Surprisingly I noticed a slight color change to purple as the iron oxide began to break down. I then proceeded to clay. The lube was very slick and did a fantastic job of removing all of the bonded containments with the clay. I then rinsed completely and rewashed.
Thoughts:
1) The Ferro Lube worked fantastic as a clay lube and fallout remover in one. Very slick, smooth, nice working time with the clay, and truly a time saver by combining two steps in one.
2) Scent: No foul scent like many of the typical Decon products on the market (ie Ironx etc)
3) Cost effectiveness: I think this would be the perfect product for the weekend detailer who is looking to combine time and cost on purchasing a dedicated clay lube and decon product. Essentially you are taking care of two steps with one product. The only downside I see is for a professionally detailer that the cost of buying this product in bulk or 500 ml bottles might not be as cost effective as say a gallon of a dedicated iron decon product and just using ONR or something else as a clay lube.

Pictures:

In the pictures you can see the color change after about 3-4 minutes of sitting on the hood. It was difficult in some of the pics to capture since I was doing everything indoors.

Looks like a GREAT product. Thanks!!

Thank you for the review. I have done something similar to this by making clay lube using Carpro IronX Snow foam. It looks like this DJ product has stronger reaction to the iron. I do find that the piece of clay will start to fall apart near the end

time for a newbie to ask a stupid question....did you do one panel at a time? did you use clay or one of the mitts that are becoming so popular?

Yes I did one panel at a time. It took about 3-4 minutes for color change and I used a Meguiars white clay bar.

Thanks for the review. I'll have to take a look at this stuff next time.

I just used this stuff, thanks to a giveaway over on Autopia. I thought the smell was fairly strong, but maybe thats because I'm not used to using it. It worked very well, and the smell did not hang around.
