    Fallout on a white car

    Car in question is a daily-driven 2019, has rust/fallout all over and it’s a pearl white, the fallout is likely coming from a manufacturing plant near the work parking lot. Has nothing on it as of yet, I do plan to use some kind of wax/sealer once a year before winter, but I want to get the fallout off first.

    Clay bar and elbow grease should fix it up.

    I would highly recommend using this on your vehicle. This product is designed for the removal of any contamination that is imbedded into your paint. The smell is unpleasant but you can get it in a “lemon” scent LOL. It smells like death with a hint of lemon. This product can be used on windshields, plastics, rims, etc...you then could follow up with a clay bar or a clay towel or clay mitt with your favorite clay lube to make sure you got everything off. The Iron X will remove 99% of it off.
    I can go over the how to use it if you want in a separate post.

    ^^^^understatement!! I warned my neighbor I was doing it as I'm sure they could smell it as well. I need to do it again soon on my pearl paint on the MKX. Think I'll put on an N95 mask...

    Get a decontaminator, like Iron X, can be found on Amazon. You’d wash, then decontaminate, wash again then clay bar. Then wax it. Decontaminators turn the contamination on the car purple. The more purple the more fallout/metal particles are on the car. Cleans the brake dust from wheels really well too.

    Test it first to be safe. I did it on my BMW and was ok. no stains. Never tried on the Tiguan yet.

    The usual answer is yes but always always always test first just in case. Every vendor makes different formulations of a product so the last thing I want to say is yes. I have tested Car Pro on many cars with PPF and no issues. A person maybe inclined to order chemical guys or Adams version of fallout remover and discover that it damaged their particular PPF. Too many brands of PPF and too brands of fall out remover so I always say test in an inconspicuous spot first. If it does react then areas close to the PPF need to be avoided.

    After you get it fixed up, I’d recommend a ceramic coat to help protect it and make cleaning easier in the future.
