Sonax Fallout Remover
Has anyone tried this? Does it perform similarly to Iron-X or maybe better? I'm trying to prep my car for coating install as I will be doing this myself.
Thanks! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...UAAOSw6nNZtyWz The Coating I plan on using. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...cAAOSwqgRZtYZQ |

I've used the fallout cleaner before. I think it works as intended. Iron-X might be a better product.

Just curious as to why you're getting a ceramic coating that offers no warranty. You can get optimum gloss coat for $60.00 or Cquartz Finest for $75 -$80.00. IMHO get a ceramic coating that has a warranty. You pay for what you get. Just my 2 cents

I have the fallout remover, works absolute wonders. I was hesitant at first, but Sonax has a customer for life in me.

I've used the Sonax before, it's impressive. Have also used Iron-X and didn't notice any huge difference. Friend has some Opti-Coat Ferrex (which I'm pretty sure is just Optimum Ferrex in a fancier bottle), it vs. the Sonax= no difference either (new car, one panel with that, one panel with Sonax, results looked the same to the naked eye. Didn't break out any microscopes or anything... they certainly smell just as bad as each other as well lol).

Yuh, you'd have to reapply it yourself. |

They all pretty much do the same thing. If I'm not mistaken, most if not all fallout removers and wheel cleaners have the same active ingredient that dissolves iron particles.
You should look into clear bra. In my opinion, "glass/ceramic coatings" are a waste of money. You can still get rock chips, bird dropping etching, etc. Clear bras are a much better sacrificial layer. BTW, if you go with a ceramic coating be careful. If you don't apply it correctly good luck, you're going to have to sand it off, then paint correct and re apply. And all the towels you use will have to be thrown away. Once that "stuff" gets in your microfibers it will cure and crystallize and pretty much turn your towels into sand paper. |

And ceramic coatings are not resistant to swirls as much as people think they are. I've seen ceramic coated cars have pretty bad swirls because of incorrect washing techniques (like stated above) and improper drying. |
