pH-Neutral Ferrous Contamination Remover.
Car bodywork and wheels are constantly exposed to and collect iron contamination, primarily from microscopic metallic particles shed by brake pads as they heat up and shred during braking.
Furthermore, new cars are frequently transported via rail and can be stored in railway sidings, where they accrue significant iron contamination caused by passing trains. Regardless of how this contamination accrues, if left in place, these sharp iron particles will embed into paintwork and wheels, leading to unsightly pitting, premature rusting, and a dull, rough surface finish.
Emporio Automotive, FERROUS FALLOUT is a highly specialized, pH-neutral iron contamination remover meticulously formulated to address this pervasive problem. Its unique, advanced formula can be safely and effectively used on all exterior surfaces including delicate paintwork, all types of wheels, exterior trim, and glass, without the risk of leaving white residue or staining trim.
The intelligent chemistry within FERROUS FALLOUT works diligently to chemically react with and release the embedded iron particles from the substrate, visibly turning purple or red upon contact to confirm its powerful action. This allows the harmful contaminants to be freely rinsed away, restoring a clean, smooth, and genuinely contaminant-free finish to your vehicle.
Sizes: 500ml & 1 Litre (Select from drop down menu above)
Features & Benefits:
-
Iron Particle Encapsulation: Chemically targets, encapsulates, and dissolves harmful ferrous (iron) contamination, specifically from brake dust and rail fallout.
-
pH-Neutral Formula: A balanced, non-acidic formulation ensures it is safe for use on all exterior surfaces, including clear-coated paintwork, all wheel types (alloy, chrome, painted, polished, coated), plastic trim, and glass.
-
Visible Reaction Indicator: The formula undergoes a distinct colour change, turning purple or red upon contact with iron deposits, providing clear visual confirmation that the product is actively working and decontaminating the surface.
-
Prevents Surface Damage: Effectively removes embedded iron to halt the process of pitting, premature rusting, and further degradation of your vehicle's delicate surfaces.
-
Residue & Stain-Free: Engineered to rinse away cleanly and completely without leaving any unsightly white residue, streaks, or staining on sensitive trim components.
-
Enhanced Gloss & Clarity: By meticulously decontaminating surfaces at a chemical level, it restores the true depth of colour, gloss, and smoothness to your paintwork and other exterior finishes.
Directions for use:
IMPORTANT: Always work on a cool surface that is out of direct sunlight. Do NOT let the product dry on the surface, as this can lead to stubborn streaking or staining. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection during use.
-
Prepare Surface: Ensure the vehicle surface (paint, wheels, glass, trim) is cool and dry. For optimal results, pre-wash the vehicle to remove loose dirt and heavy grime, which allows FERROUS FALLOUT to directly target embedded iron. However, the product will still work on a dirty surface.
-
Spray Evenly: Spray FERROUS FALLOUT liberally and evenly over the affected surface. Ensure complete and thorough coverage of all areas suspected of iron contamination.
-
Allow to Dwell: Allow the product to dwell on the surface for 3-5 minutes. During this dwell time, the formula will visibly react with the iron particles present, turning a distinct purple or red colour. This colour change is your visual indicator that the product is actively dissolving the ferrous contaminants.
-
Agitate (Optional, for Heavy Contamination): For areas with exceptionally heavy contamination or stubborn deposits, gently agitate the solution on the surface using a soft detailing brush or a clean wash mitt. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: IMMEDIATELY and thoroughly rinse the treated surface with a strong, consistent stream of clean water (a pressure washer is highly recommended for best results). Ensure all product residue and loosened contaminants are completely flushed away from the surface and out of all panel gaps and crevices.
-
Repeat (If Necessary): For extremely heavy or deeply embedded contamination, a second application may be necessary after rinsing the initial application. Allow the surface to dry slightly before reapplying.
-
Follow Up: After complete decontamination and rinsing, proceed with your regular washing routine (if not already done) or prepare the surface for subsequent steps such as polishing, waxing, or ceramic coating application.
