Every time you use your brakes, the friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors creates brake dust as your brakes wear down with each use. This brake dust builds-up on your car’s wheels. Because wheels naturally become dirty with brake dust it’s normal to use a brake dust remover every time you wash your car regardless of the type of wash process you use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Panels \u003c\/b\u003e– the exterior of your car -\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThere are two categories of car washing, Prep Wash and Maintenance Wash.

As such, there’s less need for extreme cleaning processes and products like iron removers and chemical decontamination sprays. In fact, the whole point of a Maintenance Wash is to be as careful and NON-invasive as possible so as to avoid marring the paint during the process as well as preserving whatever the protective coating was chose to seal the paint surface, be it a ceramic coating, conventional car wax or synthetic paint sealant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Panels - \u003c\/b\u003eWhen doing a maintenance wash, the type of LSP or Last Step Product used on the painted body panels is a key deciding factor as to whether to use \u003cstrong\u003e3D BDX\u003c\/strong\u003e or not. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCars with Ceramic Coatings - \u003c\/b\u003eA quality ceramic coating properly installed is chemical resistant, at least a lot more chemical resistant than a conventional car wax or synthetic paint sealant. Thus, if you feel the need to check for or ensure there is no iron or chemical contamination on your car’s finish it’s perfectly okay to use \u003cstrong\u003e3D BDX\u003c\/strong\u003e on a ceramic coated car as the ingredients in this product will not interfere with the coating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCars with Conventional Car Waxes or Synthetic Paint Sealants - \u003c\/b\u003eThe downside to using conventional car waxes and synthetic paint sealants are they are not near as chemical resistant as a ceramic coatings. Thus, using iron removers and chemical contamination sprays will tend to remove these types of sacrificial protective coatings pre-maturely. It’s just the nature of the beast. So generally speaking, you don’t use iron removers when doing a maintenance wash on cars protected with car waxes and\/or synthetic paint sealants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy use 3D BDX over other options? - \u003c\/b\u003eMost iron removers are formulated for a single purpose and that is to remove iron or in scientific lingo, Fe or \u003ci\u003eferrum\u003c\/i\u003e, which is Latin for iron.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3D BDX\u003c\/strong\u003e is a more complicated product.
