Frodo, iron removers basically dissolve small bits of metal imbedded in the paint through oxidation. Clay bars try to pull them out, iron removers kind of melt the metal away. But it's a heavy duty chemical, and needs to be thoroughly washed off any non-paint surface and the paint within a few minutes. But if you're doing a once ever ten year paint correction, it's worth the $20/bottle.
Agreed.
I'll take your word on that regarding the iron remover, Rick. You've always had good advice on detailing.
That said, hopefully I'll never have to go that route—I get lazy on detailing on occasion.
But I don't think I've ever let things go for 10 years!
