Jesse... Talk to me about your deironizer gel. If I apply it first in the decontamination process, will it be able to penetrate the typical layer of grime present to get down to iron deposits in the clear, or would it be better to do a wash then apply your gel?
I believe it is best to remove all surface grime before letting the deironizer do its thing. Not to say it won't work, but you will yield much better results with all surface dirt washed away.
I would think that it would work better after washing, but it would be nice to have a pre-wash AIO deironizer that would work to remove all that grime and bug/tar, etc. all at once...
It works just as well either way. You guys are forgetting that Deironizer was originally a wheel cleaner.
Funny you should mention this. As it is safe to let dry on paint, I did what you are suggesting on a new, white Chev dually last week. Truck was jusT dusty so I pre rinsed, sprayed it down with Wolfs, let it sit for about for 10 minutes then washed as normal. Worked just fine.
I've actually used it as a prewash and it worked quite well, but the most effective way to use it for iron decontamination would be to wash the car beforehand then apply it to a dry surface !
Great, thanks for all of the replies! I will test it out as a prewash to see if the results are good enough to justify the time savings.
