IRON REMOVERS AND PRE WASH DECONTAMINATION | Deep Cleaning Car Wash

[@DetailsNMe]

As a woman-getting into the industry is a little intimidating…watching your channel has really helped boost my confidence and caused my motivation to sky rocket! I just ordered the MJJC Cannon and some other supplies from your store to show my support! Thank you for bringing such great content to the public-and for providing me with the knowledge I need to not only feel successful, but be successful. 😊

[@Varosphotographs]

You got this 💪

[@deemon9978]

Josh! Hands down best informative detailing guy on KZbin that I watch! Every question I have that arises through other vids are always answered here.. Your one of the few guys I sub to, cause I know you get results, and stuff bothers you like me, when it's not fully answered also.. Keep it real bro, we need guys like you here for us uninformed! 👍

[@dini1046]

The PH Detail Supplies product was good, I used in interior and it worked great. It made plastics darker and it has a great finish. I look forward to more of there products

[@davidshurro]

Your videos are amazing. You cover every detail in 10 min and are pleasant to watch when other channels do the same in 25 min

[@imjoshv]

Thank so much!

[@twistedscience9248]

Agreed! No bullshit fluff, straight to business. Love this channel!!

[@thomassavage6025]

The green strip wash is alkaline. The new yellow strip wash is acidic. They changed the formula.

[@imjoshv]

That makes more sense

[@nickw1861]

This is correct, must have sent this to TGB and then changed it. It was probably 2 months ago when it changed. The new formula is amazing! Melts away salt and revives coatings almost instantly!

[@judasblewit]

​@@nickw1861 so alkaline strips better?

[@pepitolopez4233]

Yeah, was wondering why he kept saying acid then proceeds with using a pH tester with a result of 8.5 and still called it an acid. Oh well, we all make mistakes 😅

[@loveracing1988]

​@@nickw1861so what is the best one for removing salt?

[@aubreywhitley6889]

@IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips pH of 8 is alkaline.

[@aubreywhitley6889]

I used Adams Iron Remover on a dark grey metallic paint. I saw no bleeding. I have liter of Carpro IronX to try next. For the smell, I wash and dry the car. Drive it a you spray it carwash. Apply and let dwell the iron remover. Rinse it. Drive away and leave the smell behind. 😁 Then I do a rinseless or another contact wash back at home.

[@garywheeler1733]

How important is it to actually have shade? I don't get shade in my situation until late in the evening leaving about 60-90 minutes of daylight. Do you have a video already talking about this? Being a "mobile" detail business, I'm assuming there are situations in someone's driveway you are in full sun.

[@jman71890]

Work quick, and keep rewetting the vehicle as needed. Theres other way with products that dont leave a residue, and soft water.

[@jurgenbuntinx1]

I just go to a local carwash and use the iron remover there after i washed and clay the vehicle Edit: our local carwashes have a roof untop giving some shade so its easier to manage it

[@axishinedetail6775]

I would like to try the interchangeable brush kit. Where can I find just that? My google search did me no good.

[@nikkigrows]

"you dont have to overdo it to get the result" AWESOME

[@johnniejohnson8026]

Another great video Josh one thing I will add when it comes to Adams they have the best car shampoo if you are on well water

[@billg5584]

At the 4:24 mark, the video says it is acidic. 8.5 is not on the acidic side. 8.5 is on the basic side. Acids are below 7 on the pH scale. Bases are above 7.

[@302esky]

great video Josh ... but i cant find those detailing brushes on their site ..

[@quinones355]

How many decontamination washes before clear coat degredation

[@mellowsid1928]

Your vids are the best for car detailing. You should make a vid showing how you prevent brake rotor rust when washing cars. I've tried different methods but would love to hear how you deal with brake rotor rust after a wash.

[@Join0rDIE1776]

it wears off after a minute of driving and using your brakes…

[@mellowsid1928]

@@Join0rDIE1776 Yeah, and then you have red rust dust and brake dust back on your clean wheels immediately. That stuff is corrosive over time. There has to be a solution. Best I have found is using a leaf blower to keep them as dry as possible right after washing them.

The biggest issue with iron decon is the purple stains in the paint

[@originalguy4535]

What will happen to paint if iron remover is never used?

[@nobsisgreat]

Could you please do a review on Griots Garage Cordless Foamer & Sprayer ?

[@OpticDetailingKY]

Hopefully this is a monthly thing! Would love to see what products come and how you work with them! Always very informative!

[@davestewart9146]

Great video, thanks Josh 👍😁

[@jasonhill9088]

Really enjoying your channel! Any chance you can do a video on all the different kinds of brushes?

[@imjoshv]

sure! Ill get some ordered so i can do a full comparison of different brands

[@kirkwilson5900]

​@@imjoshv will you also show us your favorite and most effective way to clean around emblems and lettering

[@andyr810]

Can you use Adam's iron remover as a clay lube for a decon towel like the DIY one?

[@ssclassof2000]

Would be awesome to see a comparison of something like superclean and other budget cleaners for cleaning heavily soiled seats and carpet like on the "disaster details" vs the popular youtuber formulas like Detail Geek carpet cleaner and MAD Ap cleaner. I wonder if these products are with the $50 per gallon price.

[@stvnva]

I work near a machine shop and get grit on my ceramic coated car every day. What is your recommenddation on frequency to do a decontamination wash like this?

[@aj2734]

Active foam is for you

[@cMaJic9]

What would be a higher PH soap like the strip wash but from Koch chemie or GYEON

[@dtna]

Josh, please keep up the great tips. Plenty of videos on product, techniques and how you detail, without breaking the bank. Purchasing the most expensive products and gear may not necessarily result in the best results.

[@chrisginoc]

Just discovered Adam's strip wash last month. What are your thoughts on using Adam's stip wash on the wheels as a pre wash as you foam them to clean?

[@nickydexgg4579]

Couple questions, how many cars/small SUVs can you do with that bottle of iron remover? #2 Are there any iron remover products that can be used in a foam cannon so it's faster to apply to the entire vehicle? Thanks

[@FredShramovich]

You can probably do a couple of cars with it but be reasonable with how you are applying it. I would not use it in a foam canon as it would dilute as it went on the car. I like using it with a pump sprayer.

[@luckyfox-74]

Nice work! Would you recommend the Koch- Chemie over the Adam’s iron remover?

[@jasongebbie1361]

Quick question. So if you clay a car you would have to polish it after? You aren’t able to just clay the car and not polish afterwards?

[@KCII18]

Do you avoid the Adam's Iron Repover spray on the windows?

[@horacioddelgado7172]

I just signed up for the subscription, but nowhere on the order page was there a section for the discount code.

[@snowpatrol685]

great content as always josh. what is your favorite prewash soap ?

[@felipeluna9328]

@ JOSH.... Could I simply use strip wash and Adam's Snow Foam to wash the car? Or is the iron remover + clay bar step necessary?? Thanks!

[@elchancho8432]

Any tips or maybe a video at some point on how to wash a black car? Or can I just wash my car normally how you do with your cars?

[@nhr27]

This is great thank you!!!! Is that spray protectant as good as waxing your car? I have a black truck in Florida that will not fit in my garage and I always feel like I need the thickest wax possible.

[@chrisocon50]

I got mothers back to black over spray all over a black car any idea what I can use to remove it

[@jeffwhite548]

Does the car need to be dry before applying your iron remover?

[@felipeluna9328]

By the looks of it, no. It can be applied if it's wet. Just don't let it dry.

[@fredericmozart959]

You said the strip wash was a PH of 8.5. And called it acidic?

[@wrinkle66]

I don't see that particular box available on the glovebox site..... what am I missing?

[@FredShramovich]

This is the May box which is the current box. If you sign up for the subscription this is what you will get this month.

[@wrinkle66]

@@FredShramovich Thanks Fred. I can see past boxes but no details on the May box on the site matching Josh's description. So I only get to see the current box contents if I subscribe?

[@dannysandoval5195]

Hey Josh is that Yukon garage cabinet from Harbor Freight in the background?

[@ErieShoresRodShop]

Thanks for the great videos! Will the Adams Strip Wash damage Cerakote Trim Coat?

[@cutthroat0075591]

Can you review the 20v battery powered sprayer from HF. Would it be good for interior?

[@aalc8638]

Can I use this on a black car?

[@desi579]

What would be safe to use on a ceramic coated car if i wanted to use a clay towel? What product would be used with the claytowel to safely clean the car

[@The1Music2MyEars]

Griots Foaming wash is the perfect prewash because it's harsher than car soap but doesn't strip coatings like Adam's. Ph I think is 8.5. If you want to get more gentle, ONR does a decent job at contactless too, just not as effective as Griots in a foam cannon. I've looked this up for too long; most prewashes are way too aggressive. Carpro Reset is in the same veining as Griots just way more expensive. Lastl, Adam's claims 8.5 PH but then says strips waxes. Griots claims 8.5 PH but says doesn't strip waxes

[@henleyhiggins3075]

Im confused you mentioned that anything above 7 on the scale is alkaline and anything below is acidic ....you measured the solution and it was 8.5 and you say its acidic which instantly contradicts what you had just said

[@imjoshv]

There are acidic ingredients but its definitely an alkaline with a ph of 8.5. Someone commented saying that adams changed the formu;a so the yellow one might be acidic. Ill try and get my hands on it and see what the difference is

[@Daniel143.]

Hi any chance you can review the worx cordless pressure washer 56 bar one please if you get chance... 👍👍

[@Gvfted1]

Good tips like always

[@PurpleHaze2267]

Iron removers work wonders but smell like death. I personally use P&S iron buster and 3D’s BDX. The smell of always lingers in my drive way for a few days

[@imjoshv]

Yeah you are 100% right. This adams one was one of the least smelly ive used. Kind of smells like a citrus covering up the normal iron remover smell

[@DiamondPaintWithDiamondDave]

I'm convinced death smells better...fresh poo smells better...most foul things smell better than iron remover...lol

[@MlleVB]

Should i use mf towel to wipe off the tars? Will it scratch mt car

[@JP-vs8yl]

Josh, Does every detail needs this process? Thank you

[@imjoshv]

No it’s not always necessary. I honestly don’t use an iron remover as much as other people just because I don’t like the way they smell.

[@philipbaio2237]

Great review

[@abrahammerino5999]

Love your videos Josh anychance you can review chem-x products?

[@jontester8920]

Do you spray iron remover on windows, plastic, trim??

[@imjoshv]

Personally, Not directly but some overspray gets on them.

[@JesusRamos-gx4pm]

do u got a video explaining dilution ratios ? 🙏

[@imjoshv]

I dont because every product is a bit different. Did you have a specific product you were wondering about?

[@josiespectator]

If I get the glovebox for this month how will I know it will come with this decon kit? And im seeing comments about the discountcode being wrong was it fixed?

[@FredShramovich]

Yes it is fixed and good to go, you will get the May GloveBox.

How often should I wash my car (2021 Ford Mach E)? I live in the Ontario, CA, area.

[@cfwebdeveloper]

When it is not looking so fresh or so clean clean?

[@noahdemuth42]

Keep it up

[@BrianDIYChannel]

I really hate how the spray bottle works. Feel like half of the material turn into mist and got wasted

[@theunkownmr.562]

8.5 is not acidic. Im assuming you said that on accident? Im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

[@imjoshv]

Yea it must have been a mistake. 8.5 is going alkaline not acidic

[@philipheilman5413]

I just ordered a Wagner steamer based on your comparison of 3 steam cleaners Could you take a minute and tread my comment and question on that video. thanks

Hi Philip. I just tried to find it but couldnt.. what was the question?

oh i might of answered that actually haha. Most of the time i do giveaways

I had to increase my playback speed to keep from getting board. Try and move the mouth a bit quicker. There must be an award for words per second speaking rate.

[@fluzzerr]

These brushes are all over aliexpress lol. Do these detailing companies invent anything themselves nowadays?

[@imjoshv]

I think unfortunatley most times the detailing brands come up with it and then they get mass produced

[@joshread3740]

Your discount code doesn't work

[@imjoshv]

I just reached out to glovebox to see what is going on.. sorry about that

[@FredShramovich]

We just fixed it and you should be good!

[@stewboyslabs1578]

Would the iron remover also help with tar removal?

[@FredShramovich]

It might a little but a good all purpose cleaner or tar remover would be better. Gyeon Tar is amazing.

[@Amor1990]

Carpro Descale

[@MichaelParis-h1e]

You said above 7 is alkaline, then you said 8.5 is acidic...

[@Stigness23]

Only thing i hate about Iron Removers is the strong smell stays in your nose for a good two days lol

[@8gomerpyle22]

If you substitute the word "basic" for alkaline, you probably won't make that mistake again.

[@imjoshv]

So basic, neutral, and the is there another word for acidic?

[@Evadingmoto]

Adam’s iron remover sucks

[@alpha42069]

will gsf and greenstar 1:1 get the same effect as strip wash?

[@SIat]

I use GS mixed with GSF as a prewash and it works fantastic. I like using 1.5 oz of each in the foam cannon. I think I’m going to experiment with strip wash now though after watching this

[@eddiefromcali]

might just be me but code isnt working...JOSH20 works but not JOSH30
