Chris does Iron X always turn paint chips that are down to bare metal purple no matter how many times you spray it on it?

If you get the stuff don't open it up in the house There should be a massive warning label on this stuff
Ain't that the truth... I always compare it to the scent of hot garbage... It's just plain putrid.

As soon as I hear back from Phil about the Wolfs glass sealant vs Adams I'm going to order the body wrap and one of the glass sealants. I sold one my 3 laptops and have extra cash now lol

What it does is it opens up the paint pores and helps flush any iron contaminates that come from the likes of brake dust, acid rain, and other ferrous particals that have slipped into the paint. Even after hitting your car with a clay bar there is still junk in the little pores of the paint so this stuff will remove it.

Wolf's is a excellent product to follow this as it will actually fills those pores and help prevent the need to reapply.

By the end of the month you will be living out of your Camaro

Not sure on the Adam's but the Wolf's expected to last around 6 months before re-app and is very slick.

If you sell another laptop look at a setup of Gtechniq G1 or G3

Chris I actually did a test today and that's why I was wandering about the iron x. I figured if wolfs could take their iron eating wheel cleaner and turn it into a iron decon system why couldn't I use GG hd wheel cleaner. It is ph neutral and it can be used on painted wheels so why not the paint? It worked just like iron x. It remove the iron particles and made them easily be picked up by the clay. After spraying it, claying, then spraying it again, there was no purple left.

So uhh, Chris idk if you're a part of DetailingBliss, but Phil and Jesse had some great news . The shipment should be docking this week and being shipped out by the end of next week. I'm so excited to try this stuff. I got a bottle of AQuartz in too. I'm thinking about also trying the Wolf's Trim Sealant.

I actually ended up cancelling my order with Phil and ordered it from Shinarama and got it last Friday, no biggie glad you are going to get it. Sorry it has taking me so long to respond work is kicking my arse right now and don't have as much time to spend on the board.

As far as tire depends on how matte or glossy I want but some of the others I like are Finish Kare Top Coat, mequiars Endurance, and Migilore.

Ahh no problem man. Completely understandable. Just curious, how long does FK Top Kote last? And does it wash off in the rain? Does 1 coat of the TufShine last a while and leave a like new look or is it still kind of glossy?

I bought it to fix it. I paid 100 for it and sold it for 350. I'm a tech geek. That's why I'm going to college to be a software engineer.
