How long will it last?
Approximately 6 months under normal daily driving with fortnightly maintenance washes and no top-ups. On a less used or garaged vehicle it may last 12 months or more.
Should I panel-wipe the surface first?
Yes, ideally you would use Dodo Juice Stripp-Ex after the cleaning/decon/polishing stage to remove any glaze oils; this means the sealant adheres to the paint better. You may get a better finish applying over a polish or glaze but Iron Gloss won't last quite as long.
Can it be applied over existing wax or sealant?
Avoid applying over waxes as these can be quite unstable; sealants will be fine but Iron Gloss won't bond as well to slick, coated surfaces.
Does it add warmth like carnauba wax?
No, it produces a crisper, more reflective shine.
Can it be used on wheels?
Yes. Because it is durable and heat resistant it works well on wheels as a protective sealant.
How do I maintain Iron Gloss or top it up?
Just use pH neutral snow foam and shampoo to maintain it, avoid using harsh chemicals. Top it up using Future Armour spray sealant after a couple of months if needed.
How do I remove Iron Gloss?
You shouldn't need to, and it can normally be left to degrade naturally. But if it is a fresh coating, remove with Dodo Juice Stripp-Ex. For mature coatings, wash, clay and polish the surface until the remnants are gone.
