Lesson 2Car Wash 2 (Iron Removal)

Things You'll Need
You can hardly remove iron powder with a basic car wash. This is the special item for easily removing such contaminants.

What is iron powder?

It's literally the powder from iron.

When train wheels and railroads rub together, you put on a brake, or you are around a metal processing factory, invisible iron powder flies in the air.
If the iron powder adheres to the car body, it causes serious symptoms such as that it prevents a gloss after a car wash or doesn't allow you to wax smoothly.

Knead and Fold Clay Frequently.

As the clay bar gets dirty with iron powder, knead and fold it to continue to use a clean surface. You can use one clay bar 3-4 times although it depends on how dirty it is. Stop using when the clay bar gets entirely dirty regardless how many times you have used it.

Dramatically Improves The Results Of Washing & Waxing!

The car body becomes very smooth after removed iron powder, which helps you easily wipe off wax and coating agent and dramatically improves the results.
