What is car iron powder? How is it produced?
Car iron powder refers to tiny iron filings or metal particles attached to the surface of the car. Most of the iron powder comes from:
Friction between brake pads and discs: The friction between brake pads and discs will produce iron powder, and these tiny particles will adhere to the surface of the car paint.
Industrial construction and ground dust: Industrial construction, road construction and dust in the air in daily life will also produce iron powder, which will adhere to the body and wheels as the vehicle drives.
Iron powder is easy to adhere to the surface of the car paint, and it is difficult to clean it thoroughly with water or car washing sponge. If the iron powder is not removed in time, after a long period of sun exposure and acid rain erosion, it is easy to oxidize into yellow-brown iron powder and rust spots, and gradually penetrate into the paint, causing corrosion and body rust! In severe cases, the car paint will lose its luster, fade, deteriorate, and even cannot be repaired, and the sheet metal can only be redone and repainted.
What are the methods to remove iron powder?
Use iron powder remover
This is the fastest and simplest method. Even a novice car washer can DIY clean it. Just spray the remover on the part that needs to be cleaned, wait for the iron powder to dissolve and change color, and then rinse with water. Step reference:
Pre-wash the car body: First wash the car body with neutral car wash to rinse off the dust.
Spray iron powder remover: Spray iron powder remover evenly on the paint, glass, rims and other parts that are easy to stick to iron powder. After standing for about 2 minutes, you will see that the agent reacts to the car and turns purple. The more purple, the more iron powder.
High-pressure water rinse: Then rinse with water immediately. Do not let the remover stay on the car for too long to avoid drying and causing bad effects on the paint.
Precautions:
The car must be operated in a cool state and avoid direct sunlight.
Do not stand for too long, otherwise the agent will dry on the car.
Iron powder remover is suitable for the whole car, not only the painted surface, but also the windows and rims.
