Hermosa Iron Remover

Use this guide with the product label and safety information. If the label differs from this page, the label takes precedence.

What you’re working towards

Embedded iron contamination chemically loosened and fully rinsed from a compatible cool surface.

What you need

• Hermosa Iron Remover
• Protective gloves and eye protection
• Hose or pressure washer used safely
• Optional dedicated soft brush where the label permits agitation

Decontamination

1. Cool, clean and test. Work out of direct sunlight and confirm compatibility in a hidden area.
2. Apply an even mist. Target contaminated areas and avoid unnecessary overspray.
3. Allow 1–3 minutes. Purple colour change indicates reaction with iron particles. Do not let the product dry.
4. Rinse completely. Remove all product and dissolved contamination with fresh water.
5. Inspect before repeating. Repeat only where contamination remains and the surface has stayed compatible.

When to pause

Do not use on a hot surface or in direct sun. Stop if the surface changes appearance or the product begins drying.

Check the surface before you start

Identify the material and the problem you want to treat. Previous coatings, repairs, damage, temperature and application technique can all affect the result. Test a hidden area if you are unsure how the surface will respond.

These directions bring together Hermosa’s product and application guidance and available safety information. They do not mean every material or technique has been laboratory tested. Follow the current product label, SDS and vehicle or material manufacturer’s instructions if they differ from this guide.

Work on a cool surface, out of direct sun, in sections small enough to control. If a first pass does not give the result you expected, check the surface and your method before adding more product, increasing the concentration, rubbing harder or leaving it on longer.

Before you put the tools away

• Inspect the whole treated area in good light, from more than one angle. Check for an even finish and remove residue, overspray and excess product.
• Check visibility and grip wherever the treated surface could affect driving. Resolve any issue before using the car.
• Keep tools for wheels, paint, glass and interiors separate. Clean them after use and discard contaminated consumables.
• Follow the drying, curing and washing restrictions on the label and in the steps above.
• For an unusual material, note what you used and how it responded. It will help next time.
