Nice

[@spencerd2156]

Everyone forgets the value of iron remover! Happy to see this tip, but on my cars I spray the iron remover on, let set briefly, spray off, then do what you showed to clay off. Why? Because any little bit you can get to dissolve and wash out without wiping is preferred. I understand the “we’re buffing after this step anyways” mentality, however, the less correction I need to do the better. You never know🤷‍♀️, you might only need to use a fine pad and lighter polish if you do it this way. Meaning…more clear coat left for next time!

[@diydetailofficial]

The perforated synthetic decontamination towel combined with DIY Detail Iron Remover will not marr your paint when used as instructed.

[@spencerd2156]

@@diydetailofficial That was not the point I was making. I respect the product(s) you mention. My point was providing a method to reduce contact. Which is a huge concept in detailing, the reduction of contact to prevent scratching or marring is important. Please re-read what I said to further understand my views.

Thank you Ivan! Your videos got me into rinseless washing... but I've always wondered if I could use a clay mitt during a car wash (on like my mini van not my Honda S2K) without having to compound and polish afterwards. Your idea with the iron remover in the same steps is just brilliant. You are awesome! I just subscribed to not miss anything from you.😊

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you!

[@aidenmckiernan3387]

Would this make more scratches in the paint though because iron remover takes the particles off of the paint and the clay towel will pickup those particles and mar the surface

[@diydetailofficial]

Not with proper lubrication, technique, and a perforated clay towel as demonstrated here. Iron remover works to soften the edges of the metal particles, it doesn’t fully dissolve them. Mechanical action like provided by the clay towel is needed to actually remove them.

[@tumbleweedking5668]

This truck likely already has fine scratches, this is the first step towards paint correction.

[@cristianortiz7005]

If you’re doing clay bar, you’re gonna buff the scratches out

[@diydetailofficial]

This isn’t a clay bar. With a clay bar your almost guaranteed to scratch the surface. With the DIY Detail Perforated clay towel, and proper lubrication you can clay without abrading the surface.

[@Tierone1337]

There will always be some scratching when you clay it . Clay towel is the same because the hard particles get stuck in the clay towel and you’re repeatedly rubbing it on the paint. At least with clay bar , the hard particles get covered when you knead the product with your hand . You will always have to paint correct with any clay bar or clay towel.

[@luckyfox-74]

Can you wash your clay towel with your micro fiber towels or should you had wash them?

[@jackyboyvlogs1010]

Sorry! But spray the fallout on to melt like the same way as t&g then pressure wash off removing as much as possible contamination before a contact process & also removes a lot of ground in dirt also

Do the surfactant properties of rinseless help the iron remover work more quickly? I always thought people liked dwell times with iron removers which was usually pretty difficult in Texas). I watch people dwelling car washes on their cars for several minutes which looks crazy to me what climate will do to the experience.

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, surfactants help, and using the Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel also assists.

[@DJR5280]

If you're using rimless wash on your car and your drying towel is becoming soiled after drying is that normal or should it be clean ?

It’s normal that it comes soiled with the dirt that’s encapsulated but still on the surface.

Hey yvan! Once you do this, is it ok to put the clay towel back in the rinseless bucket? The iron remover won't hurt the foam sponge? Thanks.

[@thesamsquatch5224]

I would say not to return it to the bucket mainly because you don't want to contaminate the rinseless if you're still washing the car. The rinseless will neutralize the iron remover so it shouldn't hurt the sponge. I believe the iron remover is ph neutral but the oxidation is what gets acidic. Yvan will confirm for us

[@diydetailofficial]

You can put it back, it won’t harm the sponge. It’s just a matter of do you want your wash sponge and solution to smell like iron remover for the rest of the car. If you leave the towel put your wash bucket stays rinseless solution only

What’s the next step with this method? Do you rinse the iron remover off with a pressure washer/hose or do you do another pass with the rinseless wash and then dry with a towel as usual?

[@diydetailofficial]

most people will rinse with a pressure washer and then apply drying aid of choice before drying. You CAN do this step without a hose, but it basically involves flooding the panel with rinse less wash to try and flush the iron remover from the panel.

@cqnofear then polish out the swirls you introduced by needlessly agitating the chemical decon before you gave it the time to fully dissolve the particles. No need to agitate the chemical. Let it work on its own then hose it off.

[@Jeeper1378]

Wouldn’t it be Beneficial to wait a bit a let the iron remover work?

[@diydetailofficial]

You absolutely can, but you can also clay and then let it continue to work without rinsing off paint as you go to the next panel. So you get the dwell time just on the back end

[@joelpasserell4525]

​@@diydetailofficial ​​What reason would there be to letting it dwell after already using the clay? In this scenario, the clay towel has already pulled the contaminates, including any iron particles, from the paint. So I would think that letting it dwell beyond that point wouldn't add any other benefit accept for allowing the smell to linger longer and IDK of anyone who would want that! For more efficiency, after washing with rinseless & spraying iron remover, while you're in the iron remover dwell period, I hop to the next panel and hit that with the rinseless spray pre wash, sponge wipe with rinseless & spray iron remover, then go back to 1st panel to clay with the dwelled iron remover and pressure wash 1st panel. By that time the 2nd panel is now ready for clay towel & rinse. The just repeat on next 2 panels, working way around car to completion.

[@diydetailofficial]

The reason for dwelling is to remove the staining caused by the iron on the paint.

[@joelpasserell4525]

@@diydetailofficial I agree with the thought of letting it dwell prior to claying, but once you spray the iron remover and you're rubbing the clay towel over the paint, that's removing the iron particles and any rust staining & contaminants that are on the paint surface. After the clay towel there should be nothing left but to rinse the panel. I don't see how any staining would be left on the paint after using the clay towel. So if nothing left on paint after clay towel/iron remover use, i just don't see a need for any additional Iron remover dwell time(& addtl. stink time). At that point, rinse and move on, no?🤔

[@elisicamost5959]

​@@joelpasserell4525 some of the iron particles are very large and stubborn and won't come off without dwell time no matter how hard you rubb with the clay mitt.

Not all synthetic decontamination towels are designed and made the same way. Also the products you use as clay lube make a big difference.

Idkkkk. Most fallout removes have a pH of 3.5. Clay dissolves in saline solutions with pH 4.5 and lower. I think this method probably works but you’ll run through more clay mits due to dissolving the product.

[@PossessionofaDeity]

honestly not every customer cares about swirls. Especially if they don't live somewhere very sunny they'll never see them.

[@nycak4713]

Why would I do that? The iron remover would lift out the iron particles from the clear coat and then I’d rub them into the paint causing marring. There is a reason the paint should be as clean as possible before claying it. There’s a big difference between iron particles and dirt particles that are picked up by the clay bar / towel. I would not do that to my vehicle.

[@diydetailofficial]

The difference is in the clay towel. This technique is used by many Detailers with no marring.

[@elisicamost5959]

The iron remover does more dissolving the iron particle than lifting it. When the particle is dissolved, it no longer has the sharp edges it had initially so it won't marr the paint anymore when you rubb it on the paint with the clay towel.

This ain’t no kitchen sponge foam, if you’ve ever heard one in hand, and use it with the polymers it was supposed to be used with, your mind will be blown. I don’t know how, but it just works. If foam scratches paint, how come a ultra fine “Foam” pad on a machine with an abrasive doesn’t scratch paint? (Technically it does but in a controlled manner) My point is, foam isn’t all that bad, granted the correct tools are being used. The wrong foam with improper lubrication could be a problem however. Stay classy 😊!

Not all foam is created equally. Agreed a dish sponge is not to be used on paint, but this is not a dish sponge. Our sponge is specifically engineered for this purpose. What’s your preferred wash media?

You should always rinse the iron remover off before clay barring. It doesn't dissolve the iron, it just softens its surface of the iron particle to release from the paint you still risk putting more scratches in the paint while clay barring it to remove it since you're using an abrasive to remove an abrasive. Using water is much less abbrasive to remove the iron than the clay bar, mit, rag. It very well could just create more work for you on the correction stage. Just use the clay bar and clay lube like it's supposed to be used. I get time is money, but why potentially create more work for yourself?

Waterless and Rinseless washing are very different. Rinseless is much safer and does not cause any damage when following instructions.

[@kodyhogan3568]

I have to agree with Yvan here. Been using only rinseless here for 8 years. The rinseless has more lubrication and tends to pull more dirt off. Waterless on the other hand will scratch if it's dirtier than just a light dust layer. Rinseless is still washing a panel. I use a keg and preload the panel then wipe it. Unlike Yvan who uses a rinseless sponge, I use edgeless high GSM towels and don't dip them back in the bucket so the water stays clean. I have used both and just like using towels since they get into small creases easier and tend to grab more dirt in my experience. Both work well just depends on what you like.
