Removing Iron And Other Contaminants From Your Paint
What's this?
You are looking at a chemical iron remover doing what it does best. Iron removers have the extraordinary ability to dissolve and remove iron contaminants that have bonded with your car’s paint like a clingy ex-lover, but it comes at a cost.. They stink!
Even though they smell bad, iron removers work their magic by reacting with iron oxide, commonly known as rust, which is gets embedded in the clear coat of your car’s paint. These rusty iron deposits come from industrial fallout, brake dust and road grime. When sprayed onto the affected area, the iron remover forms a complex with the iron oxide, causing it to loosen its grip on the paint and dissolve into a purple-ish liquid. This transformation is not only visually satisfying but also a clear indication that the iron remover is doing its job.
Now, why is it so important to remove these iron contaminants? Iron contaminants are like tiny, abrasive particles that scratch and mar the surface, leaving behind unsightly blemishes. Over time, these scratches can become more pronounced, resulting in a dull finish. They also prevent waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings from properly bonding to and protecting your paint. By using an iron remover, you’re essentially exfoliating your car’s paint and giving it a deep cleanse, removing those pesky iron contaminants and restoring its luster and beauty.
