Hi all,
We'll be taking delivery of our Mach e Premium around the end of October and I'm planning on doing the initial cleanup of the exterior rather than having the dealership do it. Here are the steps I'm planning and I also have a question about the need to use "iron fallout remover" before clay bar treatment.
1. Wash car w/ph neutral soap
2. Clay bar the paint
3. Have a pro install paint protection film (PPF) on the frontal surfaces of the car.
4. Applying ceramic sealant on the paint surfaces.
I'll be using Griot's products for this process and doing all of this myself except the ppf. (I enjoy the process.) We have ppf on both our current cars and ceramic pro on the Tesla. I recently did the clay bar routine/then ceramic spray on Volt recently and it's retained its glassy smooth finish.
Reading about "iron fallout removal" I'm wondering what's been your experience with using it on a new vehicle that's just come off the railroad car. It involves a lot of steps. Have you seen much iron come off during a first time detailing? Has it been worth the effort? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences.
