0 GerryC Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 DWC to decon is pretty much a must-do when it comes to white cars. It was one of the first things I tried when the juice first came out and is now part of my semi-annual regimen. Like you said Kurt, it makes every step afterwards easier, especially clay, since you don't have to worry about all those iron particles clogging up your clay bar Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Brews02ws6 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 What's the process for this? Can you use it on an unwashed car or should it be washed first? Dilute 50/50? Just getting into this for the first time so I'm ignorant here! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GerryC Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Wash first, otherwise all the iron particles will be covered by the dirt. I prefer to decon BEFORE claying, so you won't have as much contamination left to pull up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 The Guz Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Actually it saves time deconning first, follwed by foaming with a foam gun, followed up with a wash mitt and then a rinse. There's a write up on another forum. I've done it a few times and it's worth it. Ricky Bobby and Brews02ws6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 ^Agreed with Guz, I think I saw the writeup you refer to and one of the conclusions from testing was that the dirt on the surface does not impede the paint decon process and it still allows the chemical to do its job dissolving iron and fallout. I have since switched to this and it works wonderful, decon first, foaming up after the dwell time to neutralize, rinse and foam again or just go right into your wash mitt/pad and clean and dry as usual. Add a quick claying while its still wet after you rinse down, and then dry as normal. The Guz and Brews02ws6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GerryC Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'll give it a try before my pre-winter treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
