Do I Need a Chemical Cleaner or Iron Remover Before Coating?

It is optional to use an iron remover. What it will do is attack the iron particles that have attached themselves to the paint.
No it does not replace claying. Although it will make claying easier.
Iron removers are safe.

When I do a chemical decontamination, the only time I also need to clay is on something new-to-me that`s been horrifically neglected. Of course for a Pro that could be a common occurrence, but otherwise I dunno, guess every situation is potentially unique..
To be honest, I haven`t had to decontaminate a complete vehicle (either chemically or mechanically) for years, just isn`t necessary even though I suppose it`s Autopian Heresy to polish, let alone just re-LSP, without doing such things.

I`ve always figrd may as well start completely over again when removing coating/recoating. Clean slate kinda thing...maybe because of don`t know any better. So yeah, wash/ironx/wash/clay/wash/get out the machines.

Heh heh, sure nothing wrong with doing stuff properly
I sometimes think I use my experience primarily to cut corners when I can get away with it, and I`d probably look askance at somebody else who did that
