My Car is bleeding!

A little Iron-X treatment on the new BR-Z.

IronX is a product that binds to iron molecules that in most cases are not removed by washing or claying. The product comes out clear but after settling for 5-10 minutes it binds and changes to a purple color. Great for wheels too.

Most often cars pick it up when parked at rail yards or people that live near industrial factories. But even daily driving the car will pick up the particles.

We use that stuff at work (dealership) to remove rail dust. We call it fallout remover though

Perfectly safe as long as it's only on vehicle to its recommended sit time, always noted on product.

IMO it's the first thing one should apply and do when receiving a new vehicle really. After that then a citrus stripper then your paint surface is 100% clean of all contaminants etc...(fresh) for paint correction, swirl removal and ready for base wax etc...
