    Iron x questions

    I have the regular iron x which does a good job, however I have some questions. If I wanted to make my product go further can I dilute the spray? Should I buy the 500g paste if I am doing multiple cars?

    don't dilute the spray but you can dilute the paste. someone posted about this a couple days ago. search "ironx plastidip" to see the thread. I believe he diluted 1:4 with the paste and still had great reaction with the iron particles on the wheel.

    diluting as I mention would of course be for spraying. the paste alone is already economical in that you can use a little on the paint and wipe it around vs. spraying the car down.

    good point. I used Iron x spray on my personal vehicle and it worked well, just expensive. Might try the paste as i get more for the 20 bucks

    Re: Iron x questions

    What I do is while wearing a rubber glove I will put some x on a couple fingertips and spread all over the wheel, let dwell and hit it with a little brush and rinse. I have not tried x on a panel yet, but will use a applicator.

    Buy it by the gallon. Sure it is a little expensive, but it's worth it to me in the amount of time I save with claying.

    In some instances Iron X will remove the majority of contaminates so you may not feel the need to clay afterwards.

    In almost every instance (at least in my case) Iron X has made the surface contamination go from poor to decent, so a quick claying was all that was needed instead of an extensive claying.
