When to use /ZERO: Iron Oxide?
Use /ZERO: Iron Oxide when your vehicle is heavily contaminated with embedded iron particles. This typically shows as visible brake dust, rough-feeling paint, or reduced coating performance. During deep cleans – ideal when the car feels gritty even after washing, or if you’re preparing for claying, polishing or coating. To remove ferrous contamination – effective on bodywork, wheels, and other surfaces exposed to brake dust or industrial fallout. To maintain ceramic coatings – regular decontamination (every 3–6 months) helps unclog the coating, restore hydrophobic performance, and extend durability.
2. What is /ZERO: Iron Oxide V3, and how does it outperform V2?
/ZERO: Iron Oxide V3 is a heavy-duty fallout remover built specifically to dissolve ferrous contaminants like brake dust and industrial fallout. It features advanced surfactants derived from /ZERO: Decon Shampoo to boost cleaning power. Compared to V2, it delivers faster and longer-lasting chemical reactions, thanks to increased TGA concentration and optimized viscosity.
2. When should I use it in my detailing process?
Use it when your vehicle is heavily contaminated, visible iron deposits, dull paint, or gritty wheels. It’s especially effective as part of a decontamination sequence after washing with /ZERO: Decon Shampoo and before claying, polishing or coating. For ceramic protection maintenance, quarterly or biannual use is ideal.
3. Is it safe on paintwork and wheels?
Yes, /ZERO: Iron Oxide V3 is formulated for safe use on both painted surfaces and alloys. Its carefully balanced viscosity ensures complete coverage and gentle yet effective iron removal.
4. How do I use it safely for best results?
Shake well before use. Always work in shade and on cool surfaces, wearing gloves and eye protection. Spray evenly across the surface, ensuring full coverage. Allow it to dwell for 4–5 minutes—steel particles will bleed purple as the reaction occurs—but don’t let it dry. Rinse thoroughly, and repeat on stubborn areas.
5. Can I layer it with other methods for deeper clean?
Absolutely. For best results, start with a pressure wash and decon shampoo. On persistent contamination, agitate paintwork with a premium microfiber and wheels with a soft bristle brush or woolie.
