Please Help - IronX stains on white car

[autoaesthetica]

Don't take this as the gospel, but I have to think that something in the Iron-X affected the pigment of the base or clear, mainly it would have to be the base coat if a two stage, if a one stage, it is much easier for such to take place.

If the "A" of the ABC System did not remove or change the color, then it is affected. The "A" will expand slightly the paint system so that dirt, soil, emission deposits are "washed" out of the substrate. This is why the instructions for the ABC System specify the

entire system be used, according to provided directions. Not doing as the instructions direct, all products is not recommended.

Often, when some of these sort of products are used, produced and marketed without paint supplier or vehicle manufacturer lab testing, such as has been experinced may happen.

Wish I could be of more assistance, however really think that the product altered the pigment of the paint.

It otherwise doesn't make a ton of sense to think that IronX migrates through the lacquer touchup(what the touch up "cans" I believe are shooting), reacts with iron deposits(?) on the original high solid surface(?) but stains the top most layer without providing some sort of depressive etch to the touched up spots??



Painted coatings are porous, no doubt, but that would be like saying IronX will stain the high temp, ultrarobust OEM hardcoats on a majority of OEM wheels because there is Iron(steel) underneath...

Well, I don't know the "color of white" that you are dealing with or the formulation.

However, I do know that many "whites" have other pigments than titanium white in them to get the shade that is desired.

Some acid based chemicals will react with this minute amounts of pigment and that may be what is being seen as a color change.
