Iron X Soap Gel

Next question: I see they recommend regular Iron X for first time decon. I would forsee using an entire spray bottle on one car and that stuff is a little pricey. Is the Iron X Paste a little more economical for the first time decon? I would envision using the snow soap in a foam master a couple times per year after that when I tear down.

Thoughts on this process for tear down:

CG Citrus Wash Red in foam master
clay
Iron X Snow Soap in foam master
polish/seal/lsp

Do I hit either of the foam steps with a mitt while it soaks? Or just foam, let sit 5 mins or so, then rinse?

I don't see this anywhere at ACC or AG. Has it been replaced with the Paste or Snow Soap??

When using regular IronX, I can usually get 3-4 regular cars out of a bottle.

IronX paste might work if you apply it to a sponge and then wipe it onto the surface. I would say that regular IronX is easier and faster for this IMO. IronX paste is great for spot treatment and wheels that need that little extra.

I have used the IronX Snow Soap as well. To get it to "work" froma foam cannon / gun you have to almost use it straight. The best way I have found is to apply it directly to the wash mitt when washing and apply it to the panel. IronX Snow Soap is more of a maintenece product. But suprisingly for me after the first maor decon I have barely needed these products.

Your process loos good. LIke i mentioned earlier I would use regular IronX. If you use IronX before claying it should make the clay process easier as the iron will be greatly reduced. So you clay doesn't have to do as much work. Or you can use IronX after claying to clean up anythign left over. I have done both. But now I usually use IronX before Clay.
 
i use iron x soap only on my first decon of the year in the spring. i will wash with foam cannon let soak then rinse. i usually clay to pick up contaminants then do the iron x soap gel on a sponge. allow to dwell for 5 minutes then rinse. afterwards i continue with my compounding and polishing steps.
 
IX Soap is wasted through a foam cannon - you loose more of the activity on the ground. I would recommend it used as a bucket additive and use on a semi-regular basis. Once a month would be more effective at minimising fallout build up.
