Was. Very suprised, my car is usually waxed quite well, on Friday when I wash the car, it was still beading very nice.
Come Saturday morning, went out for few hours, parked under tree and it rained.
When collecting my car, many leaves on my car.
Suprised to see my car wax, rain x all degraded badly,
Used wiper few times then only the windscreen wiped area started to have beading and water fly off
Washed in the evening, noticed wax layer for whole car almost gone.
Could this be due to the tree saps or some chemical/contaminants in that area where I parked?
Anyone experienced this before?

Experienced that also.. Parked under tree in rain, come back coating (soft coatings) all gone sweat.gif
Guess parking under tree is a big no..

what Iron remover product to recommend on the car body usage ?

I think you won't go wrong with Osren, Soft 99, IGL and CarPro's Iron Remover.. They are all advertised as pH balanced so it will do the trick.
And in my opinion using iron remover on paint is safer compared to using it on wheels.

Before using any chemicals/ cleaner, just take note on:
- Apply on COOLED surface.
- DO NOT ALLOW product to left DRY on surface.
- Rinse CLEAN and make sure NO RESIDUE remains.

It’s a Karcher K2-350 (110 bar if I’m not mistaken), as for the cannon got hold of a MJJC V2. Seemed like a good starter kit as I dip my toes into learning the trade.

Ahh okay, hadn’t considered the Osren wash (will check it out), there was a post a few pages back that suggested their ultra drying towel which I’ve picked up. Also read about the Carpro Reset being a decent wash option with either their Lift formula or the GMTech High Foam as a pre wash treatment.

Thanks.

If not mistaken MJJC Foam Cannon comes with 1.1mm and 1.25mm orifice. For K2 I think you should start with 1.1mm Orifice as 1.25mm is for washers that are rated 120bar (working) and above.
If still unhappy with 1.1mm orifice, slowly step down and try 1.05mm, 1.0mm as so on, see if it'll get better. Another thing is to make sure you chose high foam shampoo to begin with.. Otherwise it'd be a waste of shampoo.
Just sharing my 2cents.
