DWC as decon

[DrBlockHed]

So I'm going about totally correcting a white TA, it def has some iron deposits, I know Iron X is a good decon, can DWC also be used as a decon also on paint?  

 

Has anyone ever used it before?  What were your results?

 

 I already have a bottle ready to go!

 

Thanks

People have posted their positive results using it as a decon spray.

 

DWC is clear coat safe and will work fine.

 

Personally I would use it on a wet car. Once you wash it, then sheet rinse it, but don't dry completely. This is how I do it with other sprays/gels I have used.

Yes you can use it. Ryan used and I believe he posted pictures with the results and as he did it.

I used it this past weekend on my girls pearl white outlander sport and had great results! Cut my cloying time down drastically

Tried this method before and it worked great

 

No issues just make sure you rinse it well before applying and apply while its wet.

I washed my car completely and then sprayed this on the bottom half of the car while still wet.  Personally I saw very little happening, but I believe that's because I'm VERY vigilant at washing the car right after snow storms and drive mostly highway which means less contamination has a chance of sticking.

Sprayed directly onto the car after washing and sheet-rinsing. Dwelled for about 3-4 minutes, rinsed clean off. Noticeably easier claying and less contaminants in the clay - clay bar lasted longer.

Just to add to whats already been said -

 

Yes it can be used for paint decon. I use it full strength for spot decontaminations to speed it up, but if you plan on doing an 'all over' treatment dilute it to be safe. The reaction will happen slower the more water thats introduced into the mix, but if you're working in larger areas its better to have it cut down slightly to avoid any potential issues from it drying on the surface.

I'm going to have to do the entire car, would u recommend a 1:1 after drying or just keeping the car wet after washing?

[Team Adam's]

1:1 either way, and work in manageable areas so that it doesn't dry on the finish. 

 

Just like with the wheels you don't want to spray this stuff on a hot finish or allow it to dry.

I used this last week on that 360 Modena I did (write up to ensue).  The entire rear lower clip was hit, bit by bit, to remove all that funk!

I kept the car wet after washing, a. to help dilute DWC, and b. because it's going to get wet again anyway when you rinse the DWC off. Just work in sections (1 or 2 panels at a time) so it doesn't have a chance to dry. Make sure you rinse it off thoroughly before moving on to another section.
