Does anyone have any experience of Dodo Juice wax and how effective it is? They do one for pearlescent colours and I'm thinking of taking the plunge...but before I do...

Hi there SnapHappyChappy :greetings-wavingblue:
I've used a few Dodo waxes over the past few years and they are lovely products to work with and smell delicious too :thumbup:
Which wax are you referring to for pearlescent colours?
They do waxes for different coloured cars. They are made to suit certain colours so that they bring out the best in them. They also do hard and soft waxes for different colours too. The harder wax gives better durability but there's nothing wrong with the soft waxes, just need to apply more often - when you get the urge :thumbup:
I've used Orange Crush, Banana Armour, Supernatural and Purple Haze Pro. Purple Haze Pro gave the longest durability - it lasted nearly 5 months (with 2 layers and top ups with Dodo Juice Tropical Mist). Supernatural can be used on any colours but having said that, any of them can be used on any colour! If you go with using a Dodo wax I would suggest that you also use their pre wax cleanser - Lime Prime, its a brilliant product and leaves a great base for the wax. Just be careful because there is also LIme Prime Lite, which can have some issues. The normal Lime Prime is a breeze to use.
The list below shows which waxes work best with each colour

Just maybe something else to think about. On white cars, it is said that a sealant is better suited than a wax, as a wax tends to mute a colour and metallic/pearlescent flake. To really make flake pop in the sunlight, a sealant will really bring it out and gives a crisper, sharper look to white. Its entirely your choice what you go for and what look you are trying to achieve. Sealants also tend to have better durability than wax.
On my pearl white I've only had sealants, apart from the summer, when I topped it with a lovely boutique wax and it does appear crisper and the flake is great :thumbup:

We've got that too, mmmmmmm :thumbup: (can I use that before a sealant?)
I think I'm going to concetrate on using the sealants rather than waxes too - I want my Amber Red to really sparkle!

Yes it does, as do most Dodo products. :thumbup:

Which sealant are you thinking of using? Lime Prime is quite oily so you may have issues with the sealant bonding with it.

You won't go far wrong with a sealant. It will really make your Amber zing :thumbup: They are less temperamental than waxes and can be used in warm weather as well as cold, which can be problematic for some waxes.

I've not used it but if you are happy with it then stick with it. It says that it's oily so it may work with the Lime Prime underneath. Try using both on your bonnet first and if the sealant seems to apply ok on top of the Lime
Prime and buffs easily then you will be ok for the rest of the car.
