As part of the first wash, I wanted to decontaminate the paint because my car sat at the port for some time before it was delivered. I have no idea if the car had the factory shipping wrap or not while it was waiting for delivery.
Anyhow, I decided to use an iron remover, and to my surprise, there was iron contamination on most of the body panels. I used Adam’s iron remover and it was fairly easy to see purple streaks on Seneca blue. I ended up doing two rounds of it and used almost two 16oz bottles.
After that, I used Adam’s Strip Wash to thoroughly clean the paint.
Sorry I don’t have any pictures to show you of the iron removal process because I was trying to get all this done before it got hot and sunny. But wanted to share my experience in case you were wondering about paint decon.
Next, I need to clay the car to finish the decon process before moving on to polishing out the swirl marks!
