A must read for owners of white/light paint

Ever get yellow spots ingrained onto the rear of the car?

 

I've been plagued by this for years with my white mini.

Claying for ages would only reduce it by 80%.

Found out on detailing world it's metal fallout/brake dust RUSTING INTO THE PAINT :scare:

 

Just recieved an order of Iron Cut by AQuartz.

Hopefully get a personal review up soon but for now here's one by a detailing world guru ;)

this is noticable on white range rovers with the big brake option pack. because the car is so heavy, the brakes are the size of the earth and the customer doesnt ever bother washing it properly.

I need to get me some of the Iron cut, i been meaning to for ages!!

 

People who live near a railway line or any kind of industial estate, where metal work is carried out, usually suffer really bad,

 

Theres a good thread on detailing world on a Lotus where it was cover in metal fillings, well worth a read.

Finally used the AQuartz iron cut today.

Attached 3 pics showing paint after a wash.

After spraying on the product it reacts with bonded iron particles turning purple.

After dwelling for a few mins you can see it running off the paint.

Final pic showing the paint after rinsing thoroughly and drying.

 

I repeated the process twice and left to dwell about 5 mins each time as my paint was PEPPERRED.

The car was bought new in 06, always washed with 2BM using MF mitts and towels.

Clayed twice a year and treated with SRP, Gloss Gaurd and collinite but still succumbed to "yellow acne"

 

Seeing this work rates up there with seeing clay and Tardis work for the first time.

 

Saying that I've not seen the same yellow spots on my sunset 350z in 5 yrs of ownership but when i have time I'll try it on the 350z to see if any PURPLE runs off :wave:
