Cool Do you DODO

Hi,

I have a new 1 month old 2011 G37s OB.

I want to give her a full detail. I have been looking at Swiss Wax, Meguiars Wax, and DODO Juice.

I really like the way wax looks on the DODO, has anyone used it on there OB G and is it worth the high price.

Thanks

Please don't overpay for wax. I'd suggest buying the 1oz. sample and trying it out first. It looks great. Then for your next waxing buy a whole container of Natty's Blue for $20. Determine if it looks $XXX better to you. You might be surprised. Also keep in mind something very important about wax - you can put some $8 Turtle Wax over a perfectly prepped car and it will look better that $3000 SwissVax on a car that isn't prepped.

The prep makes much, much more difference than your choice of wax. That being said, I've used both Blue Velvet and Supernatural on OB and they look great.

Dodo Juice Supernatural is a great no fragrance wax, i used them on my BO, but they are quite a bit expensive.

I have used various Dodo Juice products and I sincerely love all of the ones we have picked up at Detailed Image - Premium Auto Detailing and Car Care Products. Check out this wax chart (selecting a Dodo Juice wax) to learn more about what wax may be best for you. The Dodo waxes usually provide some of the strongest protection from any wax I have tested with a deep gloss and a great shine. However picking up an expensive wax is not always the most critical part of detailing. Doing a full detail with a clay bar and polish before hand will also provide a huge boost to your results. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Paint your garage walls and ceiling white. It helps you to have a little bit better light for detailing.
