Its not myself who has done that car, i just stumbled across it on another forum and thought people here would be interested, i do little bits for myself/friends/family, but ive only just started out buying stuff and trying to build a collection up, it becomes very addictive and obsessive compulsive ! Have a look on that site, cleanyourcar is best place to buy products, even eBay couldn't beat the price of some of their stuff, IronX on ebay is around Ł12 a bottle, its half price on cleanyourcar etc !

What car/colour do you have?

its a piece of piss to use, just spray it on. Wait for it to change colour, but not let it dry out then wash of. As its a chemical reaction occuring it cleans the paint nice a deep and gives it a quality finish but just make sure u wax it after

Sign up on detailing world, full of friendly advice.

Basically you wash and dry the car first, or snowfoam, then spray the Iron X all over it, it won't harm or damage rubber, or anything let it dwell then rinse off,if youve got tar specs all over it you can get stuff called tardis which does the same but concentrates on tar where as Iron X just removed iron particles, good for wheels cause it gets out ground in brake dust, if the wheels have been properly painted and not just rattle canned i cant see why it would bother them, then its just rinse off, dry,then you can machine/polish/glaze/seal/wax, choice is yours, then its just about finding the products that suit your colour car, if your going to machine it you need to get the right pads/polishes dependant on what car you have as german paints for example, are a lot harder than Ford, Vauxhall original paint.

Ive got a black ST170 to do, which i will use menzerna to get rid of the swirls/scratches on a DA machine, then glaze with poorboys black hole, then either seal/wax with Zaino, or ive got Dodo juice purple haze and a few other waxes, some people use cleansers such as Dodo juice lime prime after claying, before maching/hand polishing just to clean the paint of any old wax, but thats one of the most uncertain subjects as some people feel claying is enough, some believe its good to cleanse the paint before correction.
