    How do I prevent product drying, iron decon.

    All of the "iron-decon-products" commonly used on wheels (& "above") require a dwelling time of many minutes.

    But, we live in a LOW humidity desert clime. Products with a 15-20+ minute dwell time will dry on the paint/wheels, despite being inside the garage, shade, etc. No "diff" at night.

    Is there any way to allow an "iron-ex-type product" sufficient dwell time, without rinsing off the product? I would love to use one of these products.

    Any way,...without damaging the paint on de car?

    You might try a spray bottle with water to lightly moisten the wheels

    Or sprits the panel/Wheel occasionally with product again to keep it moist.

    Is this something that people do on a regular basis? I post about chemical decontamination quite often, but I haven`t actually needed to do it for years. Can`t even recall the last time I did it to a set of wheels....

    Re: How do I prevent product drying, iron decon.

    I dunno if I need to do this, or not. Just call me too picky/ticky about my new-ish ride (2017 Infinity Red Sport 400)? The red coup came with fine streaks of nasty greeze down both sides, which I am guessing found their way onto the body during the car transport from San Diego. The El Paso dealership essentially did not prep the car. They were a joke. This left me wondering if the car has any other "extras" from being shipped from Japan (totally-Japanese made model).

    If I spray with more de-con product, can it get too "thick"? Reckon, I could sit on a stool and and mist the sides of the cars for 15-20 minutes? (Our neighbors already think I`m nutz...).

    Just being too anal??

    Thanks...guys.

    OpenRoad- Ah, OK...thanks for explaining. I thought you were doing this on a regular basis...

    I wouldn`t worry too much about the product being on there "too thick" as IMO only the product that`s in direct contact with the surfaces of the vehicle is really doing anything. But since I have zero experience with the stuff you`re using I wouldn`t take *my* opinion to the bank! But FWIW, I sure never worried about that with the Decon stuff I`ve used, I just kept certain products off of surfaces they might not be too good for (e.g., keep acidic stuff`s contact with aluminum to a minimum no matter what kind of protective coating the aluminum supposedly has). Some Decon products are supposedly nasty for plastics and glass, never been an issue for me but I do keep it in mind.
