Nice, it looked like that thing had been washed with steel wool lol. You turned that salty mess around! Phil, I've been using Iron X for quite a while to decontaminate cars in my shop. If I purchase the Auto Finesse Iron Out, are there any major differences or things to watch out for? Think I might give it a try.
they both smell bad LOL. I like the AF Iron Out, I have not used Iron X for 2-3 years so I'm not aware of any of the revisions.
