Surface Decon Essentials

Extreme Dwell. No Smell.

Car decontamination products are the foundation of any proper polishing or coating job, and PDP’s advanced formulas give pros a clear advantage. These car paint decontamination tools and iron removers have extreme dwell times, allowing them to fully break down brake dust, rail dust, industrial fallout and more. What you’ll notice about most of our formulas is they don’t have that harsh, lingering sulfur smell but instead emit a subtle, fresh fragrance. Paired with clay mitts, clay towels and surface lubricants, this system delivers a smooth, contaminant-free finish without the usual hassle or odor.

  • Extreme Dwell Time for Deep Decontamination

  • Low to No Smell

  • Safe for Modern Finishes

  • Clear, Uniform Performance

PDP PDP Iron+ - PDP

Iron+

PDP Iron+ is the first and only iron remover in its class formulated without the pungent sulfur smell that usually fills the shop during decontamination.Iron+ visibly activates on contact, turning purple as it dissolves embedded ferrous contamination. Its viscous formula clings to iron particles, breaks them down completely and leaves behind a clean surface prepped for correction or protection.

PDP PDP Iron Melt - PDP

Iron Melt

Iron Melt is a fast-acting, acid-free iron remover engineered to dissolve embedded ferrous contamination that washing and claying cannot reach. Its penetrating formula breaks down rail dust, brake dust, and industrial fallout deep within the clear coat, restoring a clean, smooth surface that is ready for polishing or coating.

PDP PDP Iron Wheel Gel - PDP

Iron Wheel Gel

Like Iron+, Iron Wheel Gel skips the harsh sulfur smell and delivers extreme dwell time to tackle heavy ferrous contamination on wheels. Its pH-neutral formula reacts with iron and turns contaminants purple so you can see it working. Despite its strength, it is safe for all modern wheel finishes when used as directed.

Pro Tips: How to Perform a Complete Decon

  • Start with an iron decon product to dissolve embedded metal and surface fallout, giving the chemicals enough dwell time to fully react.
  • Rinse thoroughly, then switch to WS100Q Iron and Clay Lube to create a slick surface for mechanical decontamination.
  • Use the PDP Clay Mitt or Holey Clay Towel in straight line motions to remove bonded contaminants from paint, glass, metal and trim.
  • For a fast, all-in-one approach, use the PDP One-Step Paint Decon Kit, which combines iron removal and mechanical decon in one efficient process.
  • Once the surface feels smooth and contaminant-free, move directly into polishing, compounding or ceramic coating for stronger bonding and better finish quality.
