hi guys in the very near future im going to be ordering some dodo juice for my candy white (been using collinite for ages and fancy a change) , 1st whats the best for my colour from the range Diamond white or Light fantastic?? And what is the differnce between the hard and soft wax just the durability?
oh and ill be ordering for a friend for his Black SL which dodo would be best for this?
Sorry for all the Q`s :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

I've got nothing against dodo but I would thoroughly recomend a sealant for white.
Sealants tend to fair better when transmitting colours as reflective as White. Colours that absorb lots of light (darker colours) benefit from the depth that a premium carnuba wax gives. Colours that reflect a lot of light rather than absorbing it (lighter ones, silver whites) tend not to look as impressive with a wax.
If your after that "wow that is fooking shiny" look when you step back and look at your handy work, then a sealant will do a better job. (oh unless you wanna spend 7k on zymol royale, that's pretty good on white)
so onto sealants I'd recomend.
Zaino z2 is great. Gaz commented on his car after I had detailed it and used z2 as a last step. He said it look amazing and looked like porcelain.
Another fantastic product is werkstatt acrylic sealant, and with that you can add to the finish with a sealant safe spray.
Sorry that was a ramble but I hope it helps.

I completely agree with JPC on the selant advice it gives white a cleaner apperance than a wax as the wax tends to dull the paint slightly. So go with the werkstatt acrylic gloss and you will love it :happy2:
And for your mates SL supernatural would be spot on but if you dont fancy spending that sort of cash purple haze would be perfect

untill i used meguires tech wax 2!!! would be interested to hear any opinions on this from the pro s jpc etc but imo the megs left a better finish on candy white for half the price :happy2:

^^^^
What happened in that pic, Ian!? :surprised: - Were you trying out your wall walking boots!?
I only use Meg's Tech Wax 2 on my ceramic coated satin black zorst tips and it's extremely good and totally non-abrasive.
Your alloys look nice and shiney!! :happy2: 8) :happy2:
-
It looks better because as far as Im aware that meg's is a sealant not a wax ;)

....It lives in the boot of my car so I can't go and check it out for you right now.
Meg's web site should say.

Meg's website will be full of marketing bumf to support the label. It says wax on the bottle so I guess it will on the web. It is a "wax" to most if you know what I'm getting at

sorry to dig this up from the past, but i couldn't agree more. Prince (if he is called that) is probably my most fave of all time :happy2:

oh yeah......and i use Dodo juice Diamond White! I love it, and i think it is real easy to use. Make sure you strip off the old layers of cak with the lime prime! then if you need to, use a clay bar, then the wax! I just apply it with my fingertips! :wink:

Hi there Monte :smiley:
I'd use a clay bar first, then the Lime Prime, then the wax. This way if you had any swirls or micro marring left from the clay, the Lime Prime would help correct it before waxing :happy2:

sorry mate my mistake, you are correct :happy2:
