What is Iron X and why should I use it? Full article: autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/87430-what-iron-x-why-should-i-use.html What is Iron X? Iron X is a product used to chemically remove iron particles off your car by dissolving the particles. Why should I use it? Chemically decontaminating the paint with a product like Iron X is part of a proper detail job especially when working on an older car that is parked outside. Mechanically decontaminating the paint can remove some iron contamination as you are physically rubbing something against the paint, tools like detailing clay or products from Nanoskin and Optimum Polymer Technologies. These options are no where near as effective and thorough as chemically removing the iron contamination. Car Insurance Analogy Using Iron X is like buying car insurance. While you never want to actually have to need to use car insurance you certainly appreciate having when its is needed. When you use Iron X you dont actually want to see the bleeding effect as this means your car is contaminated and contamination means deterioration has been taking place. Thats not a good thing. Its better to use it and see nothing as that means your car was not contaminated. Thats a good thing. If your car is contaminated then Iron X is the first step in a two step process to decontaminate the paint and properly prepare the paint for machine or hand polishing. My buddy Jay detailed this car for his sister after she bought it from the original owner. The original owner parked it next to a sprinkler that covered the car with heavy iron contaminated water for years. Look closely.... its not just the paint that is bleeding its also the glass and plastic surfaces which are bleeding red. This is a sign of extreme iron contamination.
