How to safely wash & remove orange rust spots (DECONTAMINATE) white paint!

This is a simple but thorough wash process -- effective on ANY paint color -- that will be visually striking on white paint because of the embedded contamination, or industrial fallout (those pesky orange spots that start to appear on your white paint). Instead of using a clay BAR, we have our "clay towel" (which we call the Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel). Check out the step-by-step process where we totally BRIGHTEN the paint through decontamination and protection using our spray on, rinse off ceramic spray....called Quick Beads.

More outdoor videos, as some DIY’ers do not have the luxury of a garage.

Unfortunately where we were it was very loud outside.

But it was clean for a little while.

I closed out ceramic coating month by coating all my vehicles with DIY Coatings and followed all the steps in the process and they work! I’ve inspected after using the towel and it truly doesn’t scratch the paint!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you Rob

Thank you

Do you have any plans for some coating update/maintenance videos for cars that have been coated on the channel in the past? I'd like to see the water behavior and self cleaning performance of your different coatings and what exactly is needed to keep them going strong.

[@diydetailofficial]

That's the plan!

Why was my comment deleted about suggesting to sell your products on amazon. Surely it makes sense to and your sales would increase tenfold in the uk alone

[@diydetailofficial]

We don’t delete comments, yes we are working on getting our products on Amazon worldwide.

[@oliver.79]

Thank you so much for the videos. I have learned a lot with you guys. Question: I used to use P&S Bead Maker and P&S Dream Maker. Would you say that is the equivalent to DIY Quick Beads and DYI Ceramic Gloss? I used to used those 2 together on dry surface after wash and dry. Could I do that with Quick Beads and Ceramic Gloss? Thank you!

[@diydetailofficial]

Hi there, we don’t like to compare our products to other companies. However, if you want to use both products try this: on wet clean paint after wash…spray on quick beads, let dwell, rinse off. Then use Ceramic Gloss as your traditional drying aid. You will love the results 😍

[@oliver.79]

Thank you!!

[@EricKnott-w3r]

If I do the 1,2 or 3 step process, before I apply any sealant or ceramic spray do I need to wipe it all of with water and alcohol to clean it more

[@diydetailofficial]

Not necessary

[@neilwalker5041]

All of the products are amazing and should be in your garage. If your doing one or two cars buy a bottle. If your detailing more buy by the gallon. Hopefully they are for sale on Black Friday???

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you, yes a black Friday sale is on the way.

[@patrickschutte]

why not use the rinseless now,instead of Incredible Suds,I want to learn more details rinseless

[@diydetailofficial]

We use different methods, we have many videos on Rinseless washing.

[@khimaniz]

How many more cars can you dry with those towels before giving it a wash?

[@diydetailofficial]

Several

[@Arash.vahidzadeh]

Some detailer use apc on paint before foaming. It doesn't hurt any coating or sealants on paint?

[@diydetailofficial]

It won’t damage a good coating, but may have a negative affect on waxes and some sealants

[@kurtmounteer8205]

Another very helpful video…. Question your decon towel, I noticed you pulled it out of the bucket. To prep it for use, do you just place it in the incredible suds bucket and then use it from there? Any other prep needed before using the towel? Thanks

[@diydetailofficial]

Dunk and go

[@diydetailofficial]

No additional prep required

Probably your local restaurant supply store, we don't carry them unfortunately.

[@peterc8979]

Does iron remover, remove car polish? As part of the process

[@diydetailofficial]

You wouldn't use Iron Remover after polishing, that would be part of your preparation before polishing. We love a short nap towel, dunked in your Rinseless Wash bucket and then wrung out, as the first towel to wipe off polish. Then followed by a dry towel

[@441greenleaf]

there is no way those brushes are not scrathing the wheels :O

[@diydetailofficial]

They aren’t.

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

Could you possibly do a video on stone chip and/ road rash repair with a touch up pen then polishing? I have a white car and have used your iron remover to get rid of all the fallout on the surface and it worked great but I have some stone chips on the bonnet/hood that keep getting rust spots around them as soon as a week after using the iron remover. I would like to see your expertise on this

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Continue cleaning the car but consider a better touch up with Dr. ColorChip or Touchup RX. Use google search as they have good videos too!

[@cormaro13]

Did u coat them after u did all of that ? If not that’s your problem you’re just leaving the area open with no protection

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

@@cormaro13 yes I did coat them. I've tried everything from wax to ceramic and the exposed metal just keeps oxidizing. I have some bilt hamber rust converter (hydrate-80) but I would rather use matching paint and buff it out to make it look right

[@cormaro13]

@@ItsMeYourRealDad yea you’re going to need that touch up paint pen , then sand the surface down and buff it out

[@keithcee6378]

Quick observation, watching Ivan wash the panels of the car, lower panels and rear bumper etc. I didn’t see you rinse your mitt other than a quick dip in the wash bucket. Did I miss something?

[@ang2202]

When it comes to industrial overspray, can do synthetic decon towel get the job done or will I need a clay bar? Thank you very much. Appreciate the videos

[@diydetailofficial]

It depends on the type of paint and severity.

[@andrewsauter2209]

When you are using the iron remover, the soap on the paint doesn’t interfere or dilute the chemical? I have always used iron remover on rinsed clean paint.

[@diydetailofficial]

Not significantly, but it does increase lubrication.

[@shammohsen3992]

How can you minimize marrying when using the decontamination towel and do you have to polish after using the towel?

[@diydetailofficial]

With the DIY Detail Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel you need to try to get marring, it’s very safe. Use our products and methods shown in our videos and you will not need to polish afterwards.

Do you need to have soap on the panel when using the iron remover and the clay towel? Or is the iron remover enough of a lube?

6-10 months

[@phenixwars1]

I had mentioned in a comment on another video that this exact thing happened to me when working on my parent's car. I wish this video had been out then cause I neither had patience, or knowledge with the rust spots. I was afraid to mar the paint making too many passes with the towel. I was also not patient with my poor elderly dad trying to help me 😔 Detailing was not fun that day. Lessons learned. Hopefully I won't make the same mistakes again.

[@diydetailofficial]

Learning is never ending.

[@phenixwars1]

@@diydetailofficial I appreciate that, thank you.

[@mydreaminorbit9297]

I've always been apprehensive about decontamination. As a weekend warrior I don't want to have to polish afterward. So clay bars are a no go. The decon towel on the other hand seems much more approachable.

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

Meguairs do a non-abrasive clay bar and it works brilliant. I've used on lots of cars with no scratches, swirls, marring or any other problems. Honestly give it a go your car will thank you

[@davestewart9146]

You mentioned that your iron remover may not be compatible with all decontamination towels, I had bought a decontamination towel from the rag company before I knew about you guys, please forgive me lol, my question is can you just use a soft microfiber towel to spread and use less of your iron remover to get that part of the decontamination done? I understand what you’re doing by combining two steps in one, just curious, thanks guys 👍😁

[@lylerobinson7826]

I used their Iron remover this past weekend with a rag co. clay towel with no issues.

What would you use on an acrylic convertable top for protection?

DIY Detail Interior Ceramic Coating

[@stevewood5255]

So would you just rub it on the outside of top just like you do the interior? Also, how long on average will it last? I really appreciate the videos. I'm learning a lot.

Ideally wash the top with DIY Detail Rinseless Wash. Allow to dry completely. Apply DIY Detail Interior Ceramic Coating with a brush, allow to dry 30 mins, repeat.

I think you should use a leaf blower to dry the car. No need to put a drying towel to the paint. The leaf blower will easily blow the water beads off no problem.

[@diydetailofficial]

We feature different methods on the channel. There are videos that use both leaf blowers and a master blaster.
