slightly off topic but which snow foam do you use? and is it just connected to a normal hose reel or is it a power hose?
 
what's the function of ironx?
scrubbed up well!
 
Shows up and dissolves iron contaminants. Makes paint smooth too!

copied from the net -

IRON-X is a pre-treament/decontamination product that removes iron particulate from the paint. You simply mist it on to the surface, watch as it turns purple, then rinse away.

The advantage is that it can penetrate below the clear coat and remove particulate that normal claying cannot. I have some pictures (and I'm waiting on David Fermani to send me some video clips) we took of it in action on a already clayed Maserati.

By deep cleaning the paint you are better preparing it to accept a product and/or removing any contamination that could affect the polishing process as you abrade into the surface.

go for it ! well worth adding into your cleaning progress. also gets rid of all the **** when you want to clay the car so you have a nice smooth surface.

bit of a warning tho, the iron x absolutely stinks. its horrrrid !!!

also use the wax above if your up for trying some new products ;)
 
It breaks my heart to see a 9 that dirty :( how could you let that happen?!

weather over the past couple of month has been **** down south here + ive been ill.

but in my defence, and not being to big headed... :nono::secret:

mine was one of the cleanest 9's at japfest... apart form bens because his is out of this world.. and i still think it probably is :nerv::p
 
does it just connect to a standard hose or do you need to buy a special gun etc for it?
 
ah cool mate cheers, i'll be ordering one of those rather soon!
