What is this "iron cut" I see you applying to the paint and then rinsing it off once the color has changed? Is this like a pre-wash to break up all the grime?

Iron Cut opens up the paint's pores to release ferrous particles and to neutralize caustic compounds that have developed in the paint's subsurface. Ongoing damage is immediately stopped and future damage is prevented by removing the ferrous particles.
