CarPro Eraser

**KyleWrap** · 03-26-2015, 08:21 PM

So once this crappy weather is done i plan on doing an overhaul detail on my 2013 WRX. It seems the Collinite 845 I applied back in the fall is still holding up. So i figured my prep steps would be wash, eraser, clay, iron x, then wash again. This is all before i buff.

Now, i know there are rumors saying you can use dawn dish soap to strip wax but i read that wasn't true. This is just a thought but would i be able to mix a few ounces of eraser in with car soap to strip everything? Or, maybe even wash with my Griot's soap and then wash with eraser and water? I feel like I'm better of washing, spraying eraser and all that then wash everything after but I'm curious.

Any thoughts?

You are really adding a lot of unnecessary steps here. Eraser is designed to remove polishing oils, not wax. Your polishing will demolish any wax or sealant, then use eraser before your lsp. Just wash, iron x, clay, polish, eraser, then lsp.

No need for eraser like you have it. You should do this

Wash
Ironx
Clay
Polish
Seal or coating

If you coat then prior to applying the coating you should do an eraser wipe down or two.

The polishing of the paint will remove any 845 that is there.

Wouldnt Iron X pick up anything clay left behind? Or is it interchangeable. (i.e. 1st clay then then Iron X & 1st Iron X then clay)

No the ironx only works for iron particles.

You can do to either way but I like the ironx the clay.

Yeah i didnt mean "anything" it left behind my bad for wording on that. I got the lemon scented Iron X... i opened it up in my living room to put the spray nozzle on. Needless to say it did not smell like lemon too much. Stunk up the whole room.

How do you know the 845 "is still holding up"?

Just the way the water still beads. On occasion when it would rain and freeze into a crap load of tiny ice beads. It looked pretty cool. I think i have pictures

Just curious how people judge this... Are you looking at the hood / other horizontal panels???
