How do I prevent product drying, iron decon.

All of the "iron-decon-products" commonly used on wheels (& "above") require a dwelling time of many minutes.

But, we live in a LOW humidity desert clime. Products with a 15-20+ minute dwell time will dry on the paint/wheels, despite being inside the garage, shade, etc. No "diff" at night.

Is there any way to allow an "iron-ex-type product" sufficient dwell time, without rinsing off the product? I would love to use one of these products.

Any way,...without damaging the paint on de car?



Our hearts go out to good friends in Naples, FL, who finally got their power restored last night )
 
Is this something that people do on a regular basis? I post about chemical decontamination quite often, but I haven`t actually needed to do it for years. Can`t even recall the last time I did it to a set of wheels....
 
I dunno if I need to do this, or not. Just call me too picky/ticky about my new-ish ride (2017 Infinity Red Sport 400)? The red coup came with fine streaks of nasty greeze down both sides, which I am guessing found their way onto the body during the car transport from San Diego. The El Paso dealership essentially did not prep the car. They were a joke. This left me wondering if the car has any other "extras" from being shipped from Japan (totally-Japanese made model).

If I spray with more de-con product, can it get too "thick"? Reckon, I could sit on a stool and and mist the sides of the cars for 15-20 minutes? (Our neighbors already think I`m nutz...).

Just being too anal?? :blink:

Thanks...guys.
 
OpenRoad- Ah, OK...thanks for explaining. I thought you were doing this on a regular basis...

I wouldn`t worry too much about the product being on there "too thick" as IMO only the product that`s in direct contact with the surfaces of the vehicle is really doing anything. But since I have zero experience with the stuff you`re using I wouldn`t take *my* opinion to the bank! But FWIW, I sure never worried about that with the Decon stuff I`ve used, I just kept certain products off of surfaces they might not be too good for (e.g., keep acidic stuff`s contact with aluminum to a minimum no matter what kind of protective coating the aluminum supposedly has). Some Decon products are supposedly nasty for plastics and glass, never been an issue for me but I do keep it in mind.
