Glad my videos are helpful 👍🏽

You’re welcome!

Glad to hear it!

Good luck with your detailing!

Dude it’s too true! You definitely won a subscriber over since you’re straight to the point with no Bs with cheap jokes. And as a car guy I highly appreciate that!

Yeah, I've seen some of the other detailing channels' videos and there is a lot of dead space and going on tangents. There's often a lot to weed through just to get to what you're looking for and I really try to dodge that with my videos. Thanks a lot for the support!

You're welcome 👍🏽

You’re welcome. Enjoy it!

Adams is good

You're welcome!

Hope it works out for you 👍🏽

Thank you!

Good luck with your choice!

Hope you enjoy it!

@@HaiTran It definately was, thanks again!! :)

You're welcome!

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome!

I don’t clay bar and use an iron remover at the same time considering that you’d have to move pretty quick between all the steps so the iron remover doesn’t dry on the surface while you’re working the clay bar. Just doesn’t seem like you’d give the iron remover enough time to work.

You’re welcome!

Nothing beats personal experience. Try a variety of products to see what works for you 👍🏽

You’re welcome!

As far as tips, I don't have any besides don't let it dry on the car. In terms of how often, I've seen people recommend quarterly or twice a year. I personally do it when I apply a new paint protection coating and do an entire detail then so it's just part of this process. There's no estimate of how often this is, it's just when I feel like.

Iron removal works well if you’re doing some type of paint correction diy or maybe applying a coating protectant, it’s just a simple wax, it really isn’t needed it’s just optional. Iron removal is suggested if you do the coating like ceramic coating or a product that requires a deep cleaning, so a iron removal followed by a clay bar treatment if the paint feels rough, then continue with any correction needed then your coating.

To me, it would be a negligible difference. If I sprayed both from outside in, then the difference would cancel out anyways since there would cross-contamination on either side. But at the end of the day, a viewer can take the results however they want. Like I said, this is more so a test for me than anything. Thanks for watching.

Hai Tran no i agree with ya there and the whole reason i watched was for myself also because like you said a gallon of iron x or Gyeon is ridiculous so if the Adams works just as good I’m sold. Otherwise a clay bar will do the job. It’s tough to get perfect test parameters but you made a great comparison video

Agreed. Unless there’s a proper lab environment for testing, there’s going to be some degree of error. People just need to understand the general ideas portrayed and enjoy it for what it is 👍🏽

Thank you 👍🏽

Realistically, iron removers will degrade paint protection coatings but if it's a good product that's recently been applied, it shouldn't be a problem. It'll take a lot of iron remover applications to strip paint protection coatings completely but again, this just depends on the product used.

That is a possibility.

Unless your water has ferrous metal particles in it, I don’t see how that would matter. Water quality more so effects water spotting, not the sort of contaminants that an iron remover deals with.

@@HaiTran thx bro

You're welcome 👍🏽

It should not.

What do you mean change? It might seem shinier. From my experience it gets shinier.

He likely was asking if it negatively effects the paint, as in damaging it.

I like to take care of my investments 👍🏽

As far as I know, every iron remover will damage plastic if you’re not diligent and use it properly.

@@HaiTran Oh ok thanks for the info I know I don’t spray the plastic do you have to wipe it off immediately if it runs onto it?

I just spray everything. The main thing is to not let it dry.

Thank you!

If you're worried about it, don't spray directly on the plastic parts and don't let it dry.

These products are used to remove ferrous metals so I don't know how effective they'll be for salt. Also, claybaring the inside of fenders is a next level of care that I've never even considered.

You spray the product on, there is no spreading. You can prevent rail dust by parking the vehicle inside and never driving it or getting it near anything that can emit metal particles.

I wouldn’t necessarily so say. You can tell that both try to mask the scent but they both smell bad in their own way so I wouldn’t say there’s a winner.

I suppose so if that’s how you want to approach it. But you’ll just end up having two iron remover products instead of one. But if you think Iron X is really better and worth having around then go for it 👍🏽

At $15 for 16oz you are effectively spending $120 per gallon. At $19 for 500ml (you wrote 500L but I assume you mean ml because that would only make sense) you are spending $143.85 per gallon. In either case, you are spending a ridiculous amount for those products in comparison to what is shown in this video. Even Iron X seems economical based on those prices.

@@HaiTran but you only need to apply twice a year and one bottle will last me more than two applications

Realistically, you can apply an iron remover whenever there's fallout on the paint. Waiting just gives the fallout a chance to damage the paint but I can appreciate that most people only use an iron remover periodically. However, if you don't use a wheel cleaner with an iron remover aspect to it and you don't use a dedicated iron remover on your wheels, cleaning twice a year is allowing a tremendous amount of brake dust to develop. You may clean your wheels but it doesn't mean the iron particles are removed. An iron remover is a very important part of wheel cleaning for those who actually want to clean and protect their wheels considering that iron particles are expelled from the brakes every time it is used. With this in mind you can go through quite a bit of iron remover. But at the end of the day, you do whatever works for you.

Good luck👍🏽

Yes, it just won't work as well because there may still be some degree of dirtiness left behind from the auto wash.

It depends on what you're trying to do. If you're just trying to remove the contaminants then no, but know that the iron remover will likely have some negative effect on the previously applied coating anyway. If you're going through the process to apply another coating then you should. There are other situations, but it just depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

@@HaiTran Yes... I'll be doing a full polish. Full bore.

Good luck 👍🏽

Worth a try 👍🏽

You can but if you have a bad coating it could diminish it in a noticeable way.

I spray my iron removers everywhere and haven't had any problems. The key is to never let it dry.

Whatever gets the job done 👍🏽

@@HaiTran *insert ugly crying* now if the weather would play nice lol

We’re finally getting some cloudy days where I’m living so it’s a nice break from the constant sun!

You should read the directions of the iron remover you’re using or contact the manufacturer for specifics. They all vary a bit.

I havent noticed but i can say dont let it dry on plastic chrome trimming..It tends to spot it but i was able to fix it with polish...

I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask.

Nothing beats personal experience 👍🏽

A car can get them from the factory or right as they leave. Fallout is everywhere. If it’s bad you may have to try the chemical a few times then hit it with a clay bar. It just depends on the situation.

@@HaiTran thanks, it’s not bad, only noticeable if you are really close to the vehicle

Clay in its various forms is typically only able to pull fallout that's sitting above the clear coat. Chemical iron removers are supposed to remove everything.

They both smell bad.

In some senses. Clay bar can get what's on the surface but rail dust often embeds itself into the clearcoat, which a clay bar won't be able to pull out. An Iron Remover essentially melts everything.

You’re welcome.

It does not.

I don’t really care who makes it. If it’s cheap and works then I’m good. Companies aren’t paying me to use their products so it makes no sense to just buy their products because of the name on a label.

Whatever works for you 👍🏽

The clay bar will do significantly less damage to a ceramic coating than an iron remover.

@@HaiTran i heard iron x was safe to use on ceramic coating. Basically the other way around hmmm now I'm confused

Iron removers are used to strip contaminants but it can definitely effect coatings. That’s why many people use it in their coating torture tests. With the clay bar it would clean the coating if anything since it pulls contaminants out. I can see how it could negatively effect a coating but your coating has to suck pretty bad to start with.

It depends. Iron Removers definitely reduce paint protection coatings but some coatings are so durable that the iron remover will do little to it. You'll just have to check on the condition of the coating after using the iron remover and go from there.

@@HaiTran Does Iron X damage clear coat?

It is not designed to but I'm not going to say that a freak accident can't happen as with any other supposedly safe product.

Public service announcement!!!!!! Not all acid is the same. Try cleaning your car with muriatic acid and see how that goes.

It's not recommend to be used on plastics but you should contact Adams to make sure.

I personally do not worry about the plastic trim. Streaking really only occurs when the iron remover dries on the trim. If you wash it off in time, there shouldn’t be any problems. I often work in direct sunlight and the only real solution is to work fast. At the end of the day and if you’re really worried about it, you can tape up the black trim or just try to dodge them. As far as how often can they be used, I think the general consensus is to use them quarterly or every 6 months but they likely can be used every wash if you want. The reason why you wouldn’t want to use them all the time is because of cost and because they are strong enough to remove/degrade a paint protection coating. So unless you have money to blow and don’t mind applying paint protection all the time, I would spread the use of iron removers out. In terms of vehicle colors, white is always at the top of the list for me. I’ll gladly take some minor orange specks that can’t be seen unless you’re looking inches away from the vehicle than water spots, scratches, etc. with other colors. White has many benefits and for me, rail dust is the only real cost.

@@HaiTran appreciate the quick and detailed reply 😊 so i take it if i use a fallout remover as directed (avoid sunlight, apply on cool surface and do not let dry on surface) i should not have any issue with black plastic trim discolouration?

In theory and from my experience, yes. I would still advise you to test for yourself on a small and inconspicuous area. Personal experience is going to be better than what someone on the internet says 👍🏽

@@HaiTran good idea i can test in an under surface area such as the wheel well 👍 appreciate it 😁

Good luck!

That depends on how proactive you are in keeping your car clean. Realistically, you can use it everyday if you want.

@@HaiTran ok thank you

You’re welcome!

The manufacturers provide product information.

I think they have a good amount of die hard users that’ll never jump ship.

Especially when it goes on sale 👍🏽

I personally use an iron remover before claying.

@@HaiTran thx just did it this stuff is strong I suggest using a mask to avoid any lung contact also thanks a million

You're welcome!

Definitely do iron remover to dissolve the particulates first, then there'll be much less to clay. If you clay first, you'll have a chance to mar your paint with all those iron particulates.

It’ll remove in the sense that it’s a liquid and will help you scrub the tar off. But definitely wasn’t designed for it and probably work as well as plain water.

It is designed to be used on paint.

No but dont let it dry especially if you have chrome trimming....Oh and try not to use it on a windy or sunny day it dries really quick...

Rail dust / fallout is basically rust. Don’t expect this to be a magical rust remover though. It’s low grade minor rust remover.

@@HaiTran what is your go to mid to high grade brand?

You talking about removing rust?

@@HaiTran yes. You said Adam's is Low grade. What's your mid and high grade brand?

Low grade as in it removes minor rust. It removes rust at a low/minor level. It's not going to remove chunks off of rusted over metal.

Whatever works for you 👍🏽

It’s always around that price. You just have to catch the flash sale. They happen often.

I guarantee you that Iron X will ruin plastics just like any other iron remover if used improperly.

@@HaiTran Probably, but not as easily as Adam's which explicitly says it will ruin.

Whatever works for you 👍🏽

Whatever works 👍🏽

Wheel cleaner on paint? 🫣

100% less money would be free…

Whatever works for you 👍🏽

I’ve run out of Iron X and will probably not buy any for awhile.

For "wang" in "cakes", you'll have to visit some other websites.

@@HaiTran Lmfaoo 🤣 auto correct really got me this time 🤣
