Ferrous particles can penetrate the paint and create corrosive compounds that eat deep into the paint’s sub-layers if left untreated. An iron remover contains unique ingredients that effectively dissolve the sintered iron by forming a water soluble iron complex.
Iron removers open the pores of the paint and remove the root of the problematic ferrous particles. Claybars alone can only shave off the top of the iron particles, so you need the chemical decontamination to remove them from the paint.
Also, I highly recommend that you watch my Detailing 101 series for beginners, where I explain different steps like iron removers, clay bar, polishing, protection, etc. It's super simple once you understand the basics, and your car will look and feel 100x better!

It looks like you may have washed the car first? Was that a cannon foam > rinse > foam again and rinse, then iron remover?
This guy is the reason the detailing bug has bit me in recent times. .I had no interest in car care before this and nowadays I get a lot of compliments on how clean and beautiful my car looks thanks to Pan. Almost all of my products I've bought are recommendations from Pan.
Love the content mate. May you have a blessed day and looking forward to your next video
Thanks for the kind words! I always like to hear that I am able to rekindle people's passion for car care and detailing.
Same here!
Those iron particles hold back the gloss. I live by the airport in Nashville and when I get a white vehicle which has never been decontaminated in three to four years the paint looks like a crime scene after applying iron remover. Thank you for the video Pan!
I always tell people it looks like Brentwood😋
The 2nd spraying is where ALL the fun begins❗️I like foaming with Bilt-Hamber Auto-foam or Touchless after using the iron remover, really amps it up❗️❗️
@@klasseact6663 the iron looks like a crime scene in Antioch! Brentwood is after applying gloss!
My pleasure Neil!
@@neilwalker5041 🤔
I love all of your videos but, l always love these short to the point videos that really highlight the effectiveness of products that you use.
Thank you!
My vehicle is a 2021, white, and ceramic coated. I just used an iron remover for the first time, thanks to having learned about it from you Pan. 🙂 I used Adams, and was happy with the results. I will do one more before winter. As always, great and informative videos!
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered some Adam’s Iron Remover to give to my son as a gift (He and his wife both have white vehicles.)
As Pan showed its effect is most visible on white or light colored paint but its just as effective on all paint colors. But white makes you go WOW!!!!😁
The Adam's iron remover isn't that good though, compared to the four I listed in the video description.
@@PanTheOrganizer Money is already spent…I’ll try the Adam’s and when it runs out, I’ll try/compare against one of the 4.
I always love that you always give us your honest opinion on all the products that you test and use. Keep up the amazing shows for us please @@PanTheOrganizer
This is one of the few steps that I often forget. I have a black car, so I can't see the iron on it. Now I'm going to put my bottle of IronX on the cart, so I don't forget again.
Seeing a new video from Pan always makes my day better. Thanks Pam.
You are so welcome!
I admire the facts you bring with science to explain what occurs with Iron Removers! I have to admit, I was intimidated on using this on my paint. I now see it is a necessary part of my routine maintenance! I can always rely on the Best TH-cam Channel there is!
Glad it was helpful! And yeah there are zero worries with iron removers. Just don’t use them in direct sunlight and don’t let them dry in the surface.
Such a great demo that really showcases the importance of iron removers! Great video Pan like always!
Thanks Konsta!
@@PanTheOrganizer ❤️👍🏻
The best detailing channel on TH-cam by far. The quality and attention to detail is unmatched
Glad you think so!
Gotta say, I love your place there. If it wern't for the white stuff in the winter, It's my kind of place. I have a vid short on this stuff on my A4. (my video isn't nearly as good). I didn't even see any iron spot when I used it, but I sure did after spraying it.
Thanks, Pan. You have convinced me to perform this on my car. I was hesitant since it's a 2023, but I will definitely apply. Best, Costa
Glad I could help! To that, I would also add that a new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car from two of my customers:

Audi RS3: th-cam.com/video/641mAJfKDLM/w-d-xo.html
Golf R: th-cam.com/video/jr19g4PWJsk/w-d-xo.html
Definitely an important stage of a detail which can be missed by many. I tend to do my own car every 3 months to keep the fallout to a minimum 👍
Well said!
Bonjour Pan. Je confirme et récidive. J'ai vraiment apprécié ce type de format qui vient en complément des vidéos habituelles. Un très joli cadre extérieur. Merci à toi. A bientôt Cousin.
Merci!!
great visual of how much there can be! I am hoping to do iron removal in the next week or so as I just picked up some iron remover! In hindsight I should have waited to do PPF on the front of my car until I did a iron remover. I was not aware of all the detailing processes until after the fact!

Thanks for another great video Pan for us car enthusiasts, it really doesn't come better than you.
Thanks for the positive feedback man! I always appreciate it. I work super hard to produce these videos for you all, so it’s nice to see my efforts don’t go unnoticed by my viewers.
Cheers for that, Pan. Always a worthwhile step, although I would do the tar removal stage first, since tar would be flung on top of the fallout which was there from new. Decontamination always brings out the best in the car's base colour, as well as unlocking the shine in the clear coat.
Thanks. Tar removers are generally way more aggressive chemically compared to iron removers, so I would only use tar removers when needed, meaning when you have actual tar deposits. And I would focus the tar remover on the spot with the contamination, I wouldn't necessarily spray the entire vehicle surface.
And yes you'd do the tar removal before the iron removal.
Hi Pan, nice to see a driveway video - it’s been a while - very familiar setting to us mere detailing mortals😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love that you’re still responding. I have a three year old car that has some bad contamination. Don’t think the previous owner ever did this. Is this doable with a hose and a bucket? I don’t have access to to a power washer or foam cannon. Would the best process be wash, dry, iron decon, rinse, dry and wax?
Yes you can still use a garden hose to wash a car, no problem. A pressure washer just makes things more efficient, all while using less water. There are many ways to wash and decontaminate and protect a car. What you wrote is ok, but you can step it up a notch to remove even more embedded contamination if you never did that.
1) Wash the car thoroughly. You can use a stripping soap to get a deeper clean. Like this: bit.ly/41Y6hke
2) Rinse the car, and you can either dry it at this point, or leave it wet. Spray the iron remover generously on the surface. Don't work in direct sunlight and don't let the product dry. Let it dwell for the amount of time recommended on the product label. Each product is different.
3) Rinse. Then use a clay lubricant (or soapy water as a clay lube) and a decontamination towel like this: bit.ly/3WsWdPJ
That step will remove any other contaminants from the paint and make the paint glass smooth.
4) Rinse and dry the vehicle.
5) If you feel you need to remove swirls and scratches, this is when you'd do machine polishing. This is optional. This step also greatly improves gloss, much more than applying a wax or sealant.
6) Optional step is to use a paint prep spray to remove any residue or oils left, to ensure a better bond of the paint protection. A paint prep spray like this: bit.ly/3UAZZ6S
7) Apply your protection.
Those are optimal steps. But the bare minimum would be to wash, iron remover, clay, apply the wax.
Great tutorial. Bet that was the first chemical decontamination ever on that car. Thank you for adding info on coated cars also. Its good to know the differences in approach and products. Note to readers, don't clay bar your ceramic coating 🙂.
Chemical decon steps are always preferred on coated cars. I would recommend the following steps:
1) Wash the car with a decon shampoo like CarPro Descale. It's slightly acidic pH will help remove minerals and water spots.
2) Rinse it, then use a tar remover if you have tar deposits.
3) Rinse it, then use an iron remover to remove brake dust and industrial fallout.
4) Rinse and dry the vehicle.
5) Then use the water spot remover, which will also help to remove any minerals left on the coating that perhaps are masking its properties. Rinse, and wash the car again.
The coating's properties should be restored at this point, assuming the coating is in good shape and was applied properly and is still within its claimed durability.
Also, clay bars are abrasive by nature, and again, not recommended on coatings as you would damage the coating and potentially add some marring to the paint.
If maintained properly, you shouldn't have much embedded contamination. In some rare cases where you might find some contamination left after all the chemical decon steps, like a bit of grit in the clear coat, you could use a synthetic clay towel (that uses a different clay media compared to traditional clay bars) and lots of clay lube, in order to lightly clay the surface. A clay towel like this one: bit.ly/43nrfce
Or this one: bit.ly/43y0Mss
So perforated synthetic clay decontamination towels can in theory be used to clay a coating, but test on an inconspicuous area first!
what about on PPF?@@PanTheOrganizer
When you said chemical decon is preferred on coated cars, did you mean that chemical decon is too harsh to use on non-coated cars?
Great video pan and forgotten step I think for a lot of people. I try to do this at least once a year. 👍🏼🇨🇦
Thanks! And yes iron removers should be a part of a maintenance at least a few times a year.
Very imformative and great production quality.

@@PanTheOrganizer BTW, thank you for such a prompt reply,
My pleasure!
@@PanTheOrganizer I was wondering if you could help me or refer me to another youtube.
I have a very tiny minute nick in my paint. I looked at it with a magnifier, but no primer or metal is showing. A city worker with a weed wacker threw some find dirt and rocks into the side of my door; it is the only nick I see on the door. I was wondering if this could be compouned out. I tried a medium compound then polished it with no luck. I suspect the clearcoat may have been damaged, but not the paint.
Showing what you're talking about as always! And what a better example than a white car. Does it help accumilate less iron particles if you wash your car frequently? Both last summer and before this summer when I sprayed my car with Gyeon's last year and with Carpro's product this year, I bearly saw any purple-ing. My car is coated and well taken care of, but is pretty much exposed to air 24/7 as it is parked on a semi-open area (covered only from the top).
I always spray iron remover first to remove as much contaminants before the actual wash so there's a less chance it will pickup stuff and get stuck in the wash mitts that can scratch the clearcoat
Great visual. I use CP also and it works well for me. Can I also use a synthetic clay on a ceramic coated vehicle as a part of a thorough spring cleaning?
I will have a video on that topic soon. Traditional clay bars are abrasive by nature, and again, not recommended on coatings as you would damage the coating and potentially add some marring to the paint.
If maintained properly, you shouldn't have much embedded contamination. In some rare cases where you might find some contamination left after all the chemical decon steps, like a bit of grit in the clear coat, you could use a perforated synthetic decontamination clay towel (that uses a different clay media compared to traditional clay bars) and lots of clay lube, in order to lightly clay the surface.

Simply excellent, Pan. I'm becoming a big enthusiast on this. Thank you so very much
My pleasure Jaime! I'm glad to see you are enjoying my videos.
@@PanTheOrganizer It's hard to stop bc you do such a great job at demystifying this process. 👏 👏👏
I had just detailed my beach cruisers the other day that had some surface rust spots on the bars and fender, used some good ol iron remover from Gtechniq and came out with zero effort. ❤
Bonjour Pan, premièrement félicitation pour ta récompense reçu de You Tube pour tes millions d'abonnés, maintanant je voudrais savoir pour les étapes de décontamination, je n'ai pas vu dans tes vidéos s'il fallait faire aussi le toit du véhicule?
Toutes les surfaces peintes. Incluant le toît. Tu peux aussi faire les surfaces vitrées avec le décontaminant ferreux. L'important est de ne pas travailler au soleil et ne pas laisser le produit sécher sur la surface.
Randomly (in Ontario, Canada) amazon will do sales on Meguairs iron remover (the wheel cleaner) buy it in bulk because a little goes a long way you will he happy
Great importance of knowing what you are doing...very helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ironically I have a 2024 model but the same color. Gave it a good wash today and I noticed orange spots on my paint. I’m hoping to order some of this and the Iron-X snow soap by my next wash.
A good wash, iron remover and then perhaps a clay bar with clay lube should help remove those orange specs, assuming they are iron contaminations.
Great vid as always. OOC have you tried doing a second spray to see if it really does remove the particles? I would be curious how much might show up on second and third treatments?
One round is usually enough on light to moderate contamination. I have tried a second round on heavily contaminated vehicles and yes sometimes the 2nd round still pulls things out.
I will often check for iron by treating the areas behind the wheels and then the back end (catches all the back flow from the road). Whites are great as they do not hide the reaction like darker colors.
Pan have you tried to just spray one spot on the paint and one on the clay towel to save product
Yes it's a technique I have been often using in recent videos, including this one: th-cam.com/video/4Kznrg3Z31o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EEitMMGElx7WJXJQ
SO TRUE BRO, ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE DONE THIS TO MY CAR
😁👍🏻
I used Adams on white paint too, I lt it dry for like 2 minutes top, and after rinse with water it left stains on the paint. I am not sure if the brief sunlight caused it. Now I am trying to find a way to remove the stains. 😢
Great video showing how quickly it can build up!
Thanks!
I just want to add that CarPro Trix which is IronX + TarX combined is a bit harsh on plasti dipped surfaces. I plasti dipped my rear diffuser (in black) and when i had CarPro Trix sitting on there it caused some light blue-ish stains. I followed instructions to the tee, not letting it dry and working out of direct sunlight but still it stained the plasti dip. I had to repaint the diffuser after which wasn't a pain to do for me but just something to be aware of if anyone is going to be using CarPro Trix. Not sure if IronX on its own will do the same but getting a bottle in future as IronX on its own is apparently much better than the two products (ironx + tarx) combined in CarPro Trix.
Man the new Type R is so nice, I was lucky to cruise through town with a light blue one the other day
Great vid as always! Question: should I use an iron remover first and than do the clay stage or vice versa? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!! 🙏
Enfin une vraie sportive sur la chaîne de pan😊. Ça change en tout cas des sempiternelles auto allemandes allant du gris clair au noir
Une vraie sportive? Qu'est-ce que tu as contre les allemandes? LOL
Versus une Porsche 911, cette Honda n'est pas là dutout... Il ne faut pas exagérer lol. Je préfère une belle Audi, BMW ou Mercedes n'importe quand. On ne parle pas de la même gamme ici...
Mais dans sa catégorie, certes la Type R est agréable à conduire.
@@PanTheOrganizer Déésolé c est mon petit plaisir de trollé les porschistes. lol ; j'aime bien bmw, On se sent certes plus en sécurité dans une allemande mais avec le poids et les aides il faut aller taper dans une gt3 rs pour retrouver des sensations qu" on peut avoir pour moins chère avec une alpine a110 ou une jap tuné par mugen amuse, mine's. Ceci car j"aime sentir le grip dans des enchainements de virage; Mais pour les fans de drag race comme toi : vive les allemandes et américaines.
As always precisely on point and clear to everyone. Thank you!
How did you handle the smell of Gyon’s wheels Iron remover? Literally Couldn’t agitate it. 😷 I rinsed it after couple minutes before it dried. Then I did regular tire washing .
I noticed Sonax doesn’t have bad smell, but it wasn’t nearly as good as Gyon.
Most iron removers have the rotten egg smell because of the TGA chemical in them. You can't do much about that other than trying to "mask" the odor with different added scents.
Again amazing tutorial with a special car! I didn't know about that brown mark. If you wanna laugh it was the main reason I found your channel 😂
(white colour near railways)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really appreciate the great demo - clear, concise, and to the point. One point of clarification, when in the detailing process do you recommend applying? In the video you state when the vehicle is clean. Does that mean to do a complete wash and dry and then apply this and rinse and dry again? Thanks for your insight
You can wash the car, rinse, and spray the iron remover on the wet surface, or dry the car after washing/rinsing and apply the iron remover on a dry surface. Both methods are accepted.

Getting ready to use this on my brand new truck, however, I’ve heard this could stain your black trim. Can you confirm if it is safe to spray on black trim? Thanks in advance.
Great stuff I used it when I detailed my 2021 silver Camry. Never liked a white car always looked cheap
Thanks for sharing
I wonder if iron removers are safe on plastic like wheel well mouldings and door pillars both matt and textured.
There will always be overspray on all the exterior surfaces. That’s normal and is of no concern. You can even use iron removers on glass. Just don’t forget to always work in the shade on a cook surface, and don’t let the product dry on the surface. 👍🏻
Thank you Pan!
Thanks for watching!
Should we re-wax after using? And does the vehicle need to be washed first before the iron decon?
Works better if you do
I always recommend to wash the vehicle first.
As far as the wax is concerned, look at the hydrophobics after you use the iron remover and rinse it. If you see water beading, no need to rewax. If the water is slow to sheet and no beads, rewax.
As always a great and informative video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for all your work and vidéos ! A question there : does it replace à claybar or is it complementary ?
This does not replace the clay stage. Iron removers only do one thing: remove iron particles (brake dust, rail dust, fallout). You must follow with a clay stage (clay bar, clay mitt, clay towel or clay scrub pad) to remove other embedded contaminants.
So the iron removers and tar removers are a part of the chemical decon. The clay bar is part of the mechanical decon.
But you would only clay paint that needs it, meaning if you feel grit or contamination on the surface. You wash the car, and then run your fingers especially in the lower parts of the doors and if you feel grit or contamination, it's time to clay.
I highly recommend that you watch my Detailing 101 series for beginners, where I explain different steps like iron removers, clay bar, polishing, protection, etc. It's super simple once you understand the basics, and your car will look and feel 100x better!

You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers:

I love the job that Iron-X does. I have DIY's version. I've only used it once. My Vette is due for a re-polish and coating(nearly 3 years old....EXCV4/CSL) so I'll be doing that process soon. I haven't been in detail mode much lately. Great video, Pan! I hope all is well.

Thanks Jay. Let’s get you back into detailing mode! 😁
I’m going on vacation to Greece with my family soon, a much needed vacation. I’m beyond burned out. Hopefully this will recharge my batteries.
How has your summer been? Our weather in Montreal was absolute garbage. One of the rainiest summers in recent memory.
@@PanTheOrganizer Not to worry...I'll be back into it before long. It's for life!!!
Enjoy Your vacation. :) You work very hard, time to play harder. A few friends have been to Greece and have said it's beautiful there. I am certain You'll have a nice time. Your batteries will be re-charged!
We had a decent summer in Connecticut. July was a freaking scorcher! But I love it, so, ZERO complaints here. It rained a lot here during Spring. April was a month to forget. The cold will be visiting soon! ARGH!! Thanks for the reply. Time to go give Your channel a little more love. It's an awesome channel and deserves lots of interaction. You really put Your passion into what You do which is great. Enjoy Your trip!
And here in the UK, weather has been miserable and wet for all of July, bits of August and probably sunshine for September for a few weeks until winter is back....😢
Pan, as some people said here, you are the reason form which I started spendig money on my car. Why, oh, why, I found your channel? :))
Hehe I understand you. In 27 years of detailing, I stopped counting the tens of thousands I have spent on products and tools and equipment. But I enjoy it so much. It's soothing and relaxing.

Hey Pan, I am a big fan and absolutely love your detailing videos... I have a quick question here - can CarPro Iron X be used on a PPF? Would love to see more videos specific to PPF specific and safe to use products!
Yes. I have a few videos on PPF including maintenance here: th-cam.com/video/I3AszYhWhs4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fgWvf5qeeeE-f0eu
Add an acid wash this 3 to 4 month maintenance process. Either Koche Chemie RS or Carpro Descale. I was shocked how well those shampoos bring back clogged coatings. I'll use an iron remover and then finish the process with a descaling shampoo. A lot of vehicles will look like they just got coated again
What a beautiful neighborhood bro. Reminds me of Washington state.
Thanks! It’s a calm upper scale wooden area. Peace and quiet, just the way I like it hehe.
Is it ok to add this to my truck even tho it’s already ceramic coated? It won’t affect the ceramic coating?
Yes it’s totally fine. And it’s actually recommended to use iron removers on coated cars at least once every 3-4 months for maintenance, or as needed depending on your level of brake dust contamination.
I got a Lexus rx350 2024 last year. Pearl white. Car is now 7000 kms and the doors aee full of this brake rust which makes me regret getting a white car over a silver or navy blue i was also considering.
Is this product enough to get rid of them or do i need to clay bar after? And all you do is spray it, let the particles bleed and then wash it again, right? No need to rub the product with a sponge for example.
Great video btw. First video it popped up when typing the name of the product.
I used this on my 2016 BMW X3. It had never been deaconed before. I followed directions scrupulously but the was hardly and of the dark coloring signifying iron on my SUV. I don’t know if I should be disappointed or not. Comments??
Clair et concis. Efficace et précis. Aucune perte de temps à regarder ces vidéos avec un contenu sans superflu. Et merci pour les liens pour les produits en France.
J'ai une question : il est toujours préconisé de travailler avec ce type de produit sur une carrosserie froide et à l'abri des rayons du soleil mais il n'est jamais expliqué ce qu'une exposition au soleil ou une application sur une surface chaude produirait. Je suis curieux de comprendre ce qui ce passerait alors. Merci.
Merci! Une exposition au gros soleil ou une carrosserie trop chaude mène à une évaporation trop rapide et un assèchement du produit sur la surface, coupant son efficacité wt pouvant potentiellement laisser des traces dans le vernis.
Voilà pourquoi il est toujours recommandé de faire le detailing à l’ombre ou de préférence dans un garage.
@@PanTheOrganizer
Ben, voilà. Une réponse complète juste quelques heures après avoir posé la question. Bravo et merci.
Bien noté l'effet du soleil et de la surface chaude. J'en déduis qu'appliquer ce type de produit lors de fortes chaleurs peut aussi conduire à un séchage trop rapide si l'on n'y prend pas garde.
Les précisions apportées amènent d'autres questions.
Mais comment remédier à une telle situation ? Est-ce-qu'une recharge régulière du produit évitant un séchage rapide serait la solution ?
Et une fois que le mal est fait (i.e. vernis endommagé, blanchissement de la surface) quelle solution ? Polissage, j'imagine.
Encore merci.
Je m'abonne, ça c'est clair. ;-)
what is the difference between iron remover and rim cleaner? the reaction looks the same
Iron removers do just one thing: help remove iron particles. Wheel cleaners that have iron removing capabilities have other things in their ingredients to also remove the grime, oils films, and other dirt on the wheels.
I wouldn't use an iron remover to clean wheels. I see this done way too often, people (even pros sometimes) use pure iron removers to clean the wheels... That's not what they are truly designed to do.
I'd clean the wheels first with a wheel cleaner, and then use the iron remover. Or, use a wheel cleaner that has iron removing capabilities built in to save a step. Something like Koch Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner, Gyeon Iron Wheel Cleaner, etc.
First time I've ever heard anyone describe off-white as a beautiful color.
Beginner question: Is there any disadvantage to using iron remover from a multi-spray pump?
I recently went to my local ppf dealer where we discussed the process of decon. He mentioned about iron removal but wasn’t keen on claying the car when I mentioned glide and nano skin pad. He argued that instead of using any type of mechanical friction which would increase the chances of marring the surface, it is better to just let the chemical do the work and simply spray and repeat the process until there is no color change. Thoughts on this and what is the best process for decontamination?
they are just lazy 😅
I think it’s best practice to clay before a polish. Most cars that are regularly washed don’t need to be clay bared that often
Chemical solutions are generally lower risk than mechanical.
would be nice to have subtitles in French for French followers who don't know English or don't even want to learn it like we see often in Quebec.
I have a bunch of videos in French you can refer to on my channel already if needed. 👍🏻
I like to see how you clean the Tucson or Santa Cruz to see how to maintain those lights and grills
I washed a disgusting neglected Tucson in this video: th-cam.com/video/sAqamdcZmn8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uOiUrBkt19dEeAUr
Hey Pan! Great video as always. Would you recommend combining IronX with a clay towel?
If you use a synthetic perforated decontamination towel yes you could use IronX as a clay lubricant.
See my future of clay video: th-cam.com/video/GK21rRPh1jw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oDpH4H7HqtSAtwi2
Watching it now. Thank you so much. I’ve learned a ton from your videos. Cheers from Ottawa.
IronX specifically says not to use on anodized surfaces. How do you tell if some of the black surfaces are painted or anodized? I know wiper arms tend to be anodized.
Thanks Pan! Do you just rinse it off with a hose after a few minutes, or are any other actions needed?
Hi Pan,
Another great video. I know you have mentioned in some other videos for product that is not smelling any more of rotten eggs. Was that the new formula for Iron Wheel Cleaner of GYEON?
Cheers,
Yavor
The new Gyeon Iron (in the new bottle) has a more pleasant scent. They managed to reduce the rotten egg smell as much as possible. But I don't think the new version has arrived yet at distributors.
But here's the video where I spoke about it with the Gyeon team: th-cam.com/video/lb-nRr5Z9AI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SvLKkBDcULKHvI0U
Morning pan , have you used sidero? It’s an iron remover from labo dilutable and smells not so bad. Current go to are diy or owners pride
Never heard of it.
Awesome video and product review good friend
Thanks so much!
The purple is simply the rust dissolving from the iron. The iron still stays. Its more a visual indicator over an actual decontaminant.
Best way to remove sap/ Tar, etc. a little Diesel fuel on a rag, it eats it up. Recommend doing that before you wash, remove diesel residue with a spray of purple power, wipe off , wash. Vehicle.
What is your take on where in the washing routine to put the iron remover on? I've seen a lot of videos (mostly from Sweden) where people put the iron remover on as part of the pre-wash (usually tar/salt remover first, then iron remover, then alkaline degreaser, then rinse off). Should one do it like in this video, AFTER both the pre-wash and handwash?
Always use the iron remover AFTER you have washed the car. If you spray the iron remover before washing, the chemical needs to fight all the dirt and grime and won't necessarily reach all the iron particles under the dirt. So wash the car, and then use the iron remover.

Can you use the iron spray with the clay bar or do you need a different chemical to use a clay bar?
Great video just was thinking doing that, can you use MWC from Koch for this?
Koch Chemie only talks about wheels for this on their website and product label. But they do give a warning that states "Do not use on hot painted surfaces". So that likely means it could be used on a cool painted surface, but you'd have to confirm with the brand directly.
They have a product called RRR (Reactive Rust Remover) that's meant for that purpose.
The ironx ls I`ve used leaves a soapy residue and was difficult to rinse. In the carpro channel they use a mitt to swipe while rinsing?
Hey I need to use this stuff on a very hard to reach spot, (rust on black paint under a motorcycle seat clamp) and i potentially may not be able to rinse it all off, would you recommend I still use it?
@@MassPsychology666 No iron remover should left to dry. But if the spot is not visible, I don't know..
I usually spray it after prefoam and after that carpro reset washing :)
That has 2 b the fastest video u ever did.beautiful area.

I notice there’s always heaps of bleeding coming from underneath the door handles when I do a chemical iron decon. Seems like that’s the case here too. Is there a reason for this? Does the movement of the handle grind and create metal shavings?
I don’t have the answer to that.
Its a protruding piece disrupting the airflow that catches more debris vs the flat body panels. Kinda why performance/economy(ev) oriented vehicles opt to recess the handles.
I use Gyeon restart for a maintenance on my Graphene coated car
Good decon soap!
How about on a wrapped vehicle. I am starting to see some iron deposits on my wrap.
You'd have to ask your wrap installer what his recommendations are, as there are too many different products out there.
how come these iron particles don't come off during the contact wash and would these particles be the cause of swirling?
They don't come off during the contact wash because they have embedded themselves deep into the clear coat. If you look at brake dust under a microscope, they have jagged edges, like fingers grasping to the clear coat's peaks and valleys. The iron removers modify the surface of those iron particles to make them rounder and smoother, so they can be flushed by rinsing once the chemical reaction is done.
Can you apply an iron remover on a wet car, or does it have to be dry??
Either or, it doesn’t really matter. Some say applying on dry diluted the product less, but the dilution is minimal. Don’t overthink the moment.
I do it after washing and rinsing the vehicle, while it’s still wet, to increase efficiency of the process.
One company in Sweden did send few picked products to me, from CarPro and one was Iron X LS , similar to Iron X i believe ? ✌️.
Yes there are three versions or IronX. The regular, LS (lemon scent) and CS (cherry scent). They all work the same, just with different scents.
Hi Pan, Thanks for this guidance,
just buy one of this iron remover and smells pretty bad. Question tho after i spray it and let it dwell should i pressure wash it or garden hose is enough? and should i wash my car again after the product is removed?
Yes all iron removers smell like rotten eggs because of the active ingredient (thioglycolic acid). That’s normal. You wash your car first, then use iron remover. After the dwell time, rinse with a pressure washer or garden hose, it doesn’t matter.
No need to wash the car again after that.

Yes as long as you use a synthetic perforated decontamination towel like the DIY one.

Pas expert pour comprendre l anglais , mais je regarde quand même car je suis fan de cette personne !!!! le Iron X s utilise après lavage , sur surface sèche ?? ensuite action mécanique avec une barre d argile , et re lavage pour finir ?? ou juste rinçage ?
Salut Sebastien. Bienvenue sur ma chaîne! Tu as découvert l’une des plus grosses chaînes de detailing sur TH-cam alors que nous avons surpassé les 940,000 abonnés et 124 millions de visionnements.
Ça fait plus de 26 ans que je fais de l’esthétique de voitures et j’adore partager mes connaissances et ma passion avec mes auditeurs!
Une fois le véhicule lavé, tu as le choix de le laisser mouillé et vaporiser le produit contre les particules ferreuses (CarPro Ironx), ou le sécher puis faire le traitement contre les particules ferreuses sur la surface sèche. L'important est de ne jamais travailler au soleil direct. Toujours à l'ombre et sur une carrosserie froide (température normale). Et ne JAMAIS laisser sécher les produits chimiques sur la carrosserie.
Après quelques minutes, tu rinces.
Après la décontamination chimique, si ta peinture semble avoir d'autres contaminants (comme une sensation de papier-verre), oui tu peux passer la barre d'argile.
Tu peux voir comment je procède au detailing complet d'un véhicule, de A à Z, dans une vidéo en français ici: th-cam.com/video/v2mKzHFkb0w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kLX1UEKQoB4LOZQR

Can/should we wipe down with a mitt or MF before rinsing off? Thanks for the short videos.
On heavily contaminated paint, I will agitate lightly with a microfiber wash mitt (you can do that with a microfiber towel as well). And then rinse off.
can i use the chemicals that you used on a ceramic coated car?
Yes absolutely, it’s actually recommended to use iron removers for maintenance of coated cars once every 3-4 months or as needed depending on your level of brake dust and iron contamination.

Hi Pan,
Got a brand new White Tiguan R 2023 so no compound , but polish and ceramic coat this weekend.
Cant wait.
Only thing... how much time do i wait for a 2nd coat after the first one , what is optimal ?? ( using Armorshield9)
Thank you !!
After the 1st layer, you wait 45-60 minutes and then apply the 2nd layer. Then wait 48 hours without exposing the vehicle to water or rain for that specific coating. And then I recommend waiting 2 full weeks before washing the car again.
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
