Dodo Juice

[Conkers]

Thinking of trying some dodo juice polish... anyone used it ?



Reading about on detailing sites it appears to be the muts nuts.

One of the better everyday polishes that there is out there - be sure to give the car a good clean and then a clay before using it though, and the results you will get will be superb.

I used it on a Red car a few years ago and the difference it made to the colour compared to the other panels was amazing.

I've currently got some 'Banana Armour' sitting waiting to use on my yellow car as I have a slight bit of fading on my passenger door.

Be sure to share your experiences with it.

I will.... I'll try & get some before & after pics.

I've also ordered some Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay and some chemical guys EZ glaze and Jet Seal 109.

Just whack it a few times, usually does the trick.

Dodo juice is very good, I have some Banana armour, Supernatural and flat earth. My car is currently wearing 2 coats of banana armour and when there is no dust on it, it looks awesome. It looks ok even with the layer of dust. I will give it a quck foam and rinse later today so you can see how good it is no touch washing so you can see how little maintanence it needs the coats are 2 weeks old now and been none touch washed twice will be 3 after this afternoon.

Supernatural is also excelent, I did a coat on my sisters corsa in March and it still beads and sheets water 2 months later.

The flat earth is a genuine 70% carnauba wax content produced to prove that the claims zymol make with their £7118 pot of royale is bolox as anything with so much hard stuff in there can not be used as a car wax it is just too hard. makes a great paper weight.

Here you go, my black sapphire vectra 2 weeks after 2 coats of dodo juice Banana Armour and 3 non contact washes. Just foamed and rinsed a few times to remove the surface dirt and dust its not perfect but the coats of dodo mean I can do it as the dirt doesn't bond to the paint or the wax very well it just washes off with moving water not a pressure washer, well it does come from a pressure washer but just on the light flow no pressure behind it.

Results look good John... Could do with some tyre shine though!

[Little John]

I don't like shiny tyres, I used to use meguiars endurance gel but if left too long or not wiped off left a shine, I now use something from autosmart, I'm not sure what it is I think its highstyle I was given it as a sample and its lasting ages when I bought some stuff from the local autosmart rep. It leaves a matt new tyre finish just like in the photo.

The megs gel gets used on my dad's and sisters as they both like the shine but once its gone it will be autosmart all the way it is soo much easier to apply as well no where near as messy. I did notice in the photo the wheel wells are filthy I will sort that during the week.

As for the finish it was achieved by washing with 2 buckets 1 with shampoo the other just water to rinse the lambswool washmitt. twice to make sure it was clean.
Clayed
washed again to remove the clay lube residue
paint cleansed with meguiars cleansing wax or wax cleanser whatever its called
none abrasive polish a pure glaze to add a deep shine meguiars show car glaze #7
then 2 coats of dodo banana armour 24ish hours apart with a wash in between as I had used the car.

I machine polished it in Februaryto remove the swirl marks so it does look pretty good, there is still some ork like the 2 white spots on the rub strip aloong the doors where some people opened their doors in to my car they are primed ready for painting I just need to get round to painting it and sanding etc I will proberbly do it as part of my winter prep later in the year. I am going to tackle sone wheel damage next filling, sanding, primer, paint and clear coat from when my dad borrowed my car. His Astra that he bought in January has 4 wheels in worse condition than mine.

EDIT:
Ohh and clean your car are a decent company to deal with. ive been round to their unit a few times to buy stuff, you won't find dodo any cheaper anywhere the prices are £32.50 for the colour charged waxes the non charged are £29.50. some f the sellers on ebay will send free cloths or wax applicator pads with them. if you want to go that way.
