urbex Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'd try a clay bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jprice90 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 you must have the same problem lol.forgot you have the same color heres what i JUST found: "I do believe what you are talking about is called fallout. Its like acid rain and shows nicely on white cars. I just use a clay bar and it comes out with some rubbing. It gets worse in the winter from all the snow ." so i'll try that out, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yep. I had some on the Lumina before, and was able to get it off with a good claying. Of course there's some more on it now, but I haven't bothered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'd try a clay bar too. Really helped to clean up the white paint. Can't wait to do it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah it's either that or rail dust/dust from people's brakes. We were just talking about this the other day. A clay bar will take it off, takes a little elbow grease from what I've seen. There is supposed to be this spray that'll take it off much easier than clay...but can't find the thread on the other forum. I'll have to ask around!

white4d96 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 If they're caked on you may need to buff them off. I had to do that with mine, but they had been there for years when I got the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some pics of some cars I have detailed using this product. You spray it on, let it dwell for about 5 minutes and wipe it off. You can go the clay bar route, but it may take a while. This product turns purple when it reacts with the iron http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/ThirdenTa/Detailing/177.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Moff Joseph Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Never heard of IronX, but based on the pic above, it sounds like a good choice. Clay bars are of course a solid pick too. If you go the clay route, keep the affected area really wet, to avoid clay marking the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jprice90 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 the clay didnt work, neither did the goo gone i sprayed on a tiny spot at work, i might have to go with IronX, where could i pick it up, Autozone? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hmmm...it's probably on there pretty good. Did you try a buffer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for professional detailers so it's not available in stores. It's perfectly safe for clearcoats and clearcoated wheels. Just don't get it on chrome. Oh yeah, I will warn you it stinks to high hell. They recommend gloves and a mask I would not use a buffer. Why remove a layer of clearcoat when you don't have to?

Jprice90 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 no i didnt try a buffer, but ThirdGen, it says it was safe on paint? and my co-worker from work used it on their car with no problems..i'll just buy Iron X from Amazon, since i've been having issues with Ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take before and after pics and also pics of the "Bleeding".... There was actually a contest on one of the detailing forums I was on and whoever had the most purple bleeding won free IRON X. It was funny some of the pics looked like murder scenes with the purple running down the driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
