I recently ordered Car Pro's Iron X from DI. Aside from the awful rotten egg/perm smell, I am excited to see how well this stuff works (when the rain ceases). My question is, although I did not see anything on the bottle saying that it was concentrated. For those that have used or currently use, did you dilute? If so, what ratio to distilled water did you use? Thanks in advance.

From their website It doesn't seem like you need to dilute it.

DIRECTIONS:
1.-Shake the bottle.

2.-You can cover the surface with Iron X by spraying it everywhere but that can be wasteful. I recommend that you spray as needed and spread it with a small sponge or applicator to cover the entire surface. You may also consider using an atomizer type spray bottle or HVLP gun. In any case evenly cover the surfaces you wish to decontaminate. The product is strong so you don’t have to be wasteful. Just make sure it contacts the entire surface.

3.-Allow the product to dwell for 5 minutes in the shade. Do not allow it to dry in the sun. On light colored paints you will see the product dissolving ferrous particles as it turns color. On darker colored paints everything is happening in exactly the same way. It’s simply more difficult for you to view the color changing affect. I have read people saying the product works better on lighter colored cars but that is illogical and is not the case. It works the same regardless of car color.

4.-After allowing to dwell take a damp (not soaked) grout or other paint safe sponge (or other media if you prefer) and agitate the surface.

5.-Thoroughly rinse the surface.

Don’t forget to rinse your media out also. I like to have a dedicated Iron X sponge but that isn’t necessary.

Do not dilute!

In fact, for best results it should be applied to paint that is mostly dry.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I did what was said above when I used Iron X and Tar X. Let it dwell in the shade on a dry car. It works great!!

It is fun to watch your car bleeding... with ironX. You will be like bleed more baby bleed more!!!

Unfortunately, my cars don't bleed much because they are not much contaminated. Both happy and sad.

I meant "unfortunately" because I am addicted to see the car bleeding with ironX due to contamination. Put ironX on the dirty wheels and holy macro--it bleeds like the end of the world.

On our cars, sign of little bleeding suggests that we have taken care of the cars well.

IronX ONLY cons is damn that thing stinks like s*** lol.

I knew what you meant... was just messing with ya.

I hardly even use IX on my car because I know it is essentially a waste since my car remains pretty darn clean. I'll use it once a year.

I've been using it every couple of months from spring through fall. White car, daily driven, The car always bleeds more than I expect! You never get used to the smell either, NASTY!

The smell is pretty bad. I bought the lemon scent to see if it's any better. I don't use it on my paint though, just the wheels.

Yeah, I purchased the "Cherry Scent". Not sure what part is cherry though.

They both smell like parc!

Maybe they took the scent from rotten cherries.

Very true I actually thought of swabbing my nose with rubbing alcohol to get the smell out. I made the HUGE mistake of bringing this stuff indoors and pouring it into a spray bottle. I had to break out candles for the rest of the evening.

I store all of my supplies indoors through the winter... including gallons of IX. It is fine as long as you keep the bottles sealed up.

Or maybe I've just gotten used to it over the years
