    Re: Panel wipe and sealant

    Re: Iron Decon Comparison

    The thioglycolate ions in the products bind on to the iron, which is otherwise insoluble in water, and form a complex which is water soluble (and happens to be purple). So this does the dissolving...

    Re: Iron Decon Comparison

    Whilst the forensic detailing video was interesting, the guy doing it is not a chemist and I recall several questionable bits of technical info.

    The reality is that the purple compound you see is...

    We have a, genuine, silica/water based product. Cost price probably $10 per litre (that’s our manufactured cost, no brand prifit, no retailer profit- so probably only 10-20% of...
  7. Re: Why isn't everyone using coatings if it is "better" than sealants?

    Riddle me this...

    When did you last see proof of the second called 'maintenance' products boosting protection?

    Assuming the coating actually is a coating (some, in my view, claim to be...

    Re: MSDS sheet for Wolfgang Polish Glaze

    I should point out that if you are a European customer, any supplier would potentially be breaking the law to refuse an MSDS.

    Any manufacturer refusing to supply safety data sheets needs a kick...

    Re: Is it okay to use glaze before coating?

    A glaze really should have non-volatile oils in it and it should very intentionally leave something behind. If it has abrasives, it would certainly also be a polish. It could have wax or polymers, in...

    There are a bunch of factors which mean that this may or may not be the case. For example, a very large number of sealant type products are excellent at repelling water but are in fact oleophillic....

    Re: I want wax that sheets water!

    Sorry but that is not beading and sheeting. That is beading and less beading.

    I know that I am flogging a dead horse with this but everything posted so far is beading. If you spray a water mist...

    Re: Soak car before using foam gun?

    Of course the counter argument is that applying to a dry surface means that the product cannot (as you say) run off. If the liquid does not run off, the dirt does not go with it and (particularly in...

    As a chemist/manufacturer, I would never recommend all this mixing. Very quickly - you are compromising IXSS with the high pH you are producing. You are wasting money because your ISXX and...
