Lastly, UWW+ probably has some level of protection in it, so if you end up using it a lot you may want to do a really good wash or two to try and strip it completely before applying BFWD.

Hope that helps,

Thanks. Do you think bfwd will have a problem bonding over the uww?

Also would like to hear opinions on when and how often to use iron-x

I honestly couldn't tell you if there will be a problem with BFWD and UWW, so I would say maybe try it on a small section (1 fender) and see for yourself.

As for IronX, I really can't tell you how often to use it as it depends on how often it needs to be used. As you can imagine, it can be different for everyone. If you drive in an environment where there's lots of train tracks or your car sits outside a lot, you may want to do it more often. I'd say you can kind of compare it to claying as it's a decon treatment as well, but since it's less invasive you can do it a bit more often. Probably every 2-3 months up to every 6 months is a good time to do it, if anything to remove some brake dust from the paint.
