Pics after an Iron X session

[Greeny.]

Car was filthy after driving around over xmas so gave it a good wash and it also had a good session with the Iron X, I forgot how much that stuff stinks! Not the best photos, loads of fog here so that probably doesn't help my point and click to focus but here they are never the less:

Looks as though Photobucket has re-sized them loads for some reason, doesn't normally do it this bad :S

Looks nice mate. What springs/coilovers you got on that?

IRON-X is a pre-treament/decontamination product that removes iron particulate from the paint. You simply mist it on to the surface, watch as it turns purple, then rinse away.

The advantage is that it can penetrate below the clear coat and remove particulate that normal claying cannot. By deep cleaning the paint you are better preparing it to accept a product and/or removing any contamination that could affect the polishing process as you abrade into the surface.

Better quality photos!

Much better.

Thank you very much lad! I'll be buying some of that then

Think it would have been better if you had shown the IronX at work really. Always interested in this stuff.

 

[Chris.B]

Perfect. Want.

Don't leave it on more than 10 minutes though! Spray leave for 5 then gently agitate with a soft sponge or brush. Sometimes it's easier to do a couple of panels at a time.

I would recommend using a face mask when you are spraying it on, I've been really ill since i used it yesterday could be a coincidence though.

Ah right ok, cheers guys! I've just bought some so I'll give it a dig next weekend. Sorry for spamming your thread dan...lol

Looks good mate.

I need to order some more Iron-x.

 

[t90_lle]

Looks good bud, need a RS badge on the back IMO.

Looks good. Trouble with iron x is the smell!! I usually only use it once a year, in the spring to give the car a good going over after winter. The stuff stinks whilst you're using it, but then it lingers like f**k for about a week where you used it. Fail.

My car will turn purple when I do mine when the weather picks up..

 

[just-that-ek]

Looks awesome! Need some turinis ASAP now!
