Tried another Dodo Juice today - Orange Crush soft wax over the top of Banana Armour. I think the Orange Crush does give red paint that extra something.

Sounds like a combination of cocktails at my local..... :beer2: :lol:

The colour does seem to quite "warm" which certainly adds to your cars appeal. Very nicely done. I waxed my car today but the light was fading and condensation was begining to form making buffing the car very difficult. Mine looks good from a distance but close up you can tell where the condensation has spoiled the wax slightly... :(

Its blooming annoying when you're having a good old polish, then you see that moisture appearing :mad:

I have one day leave remaining and I have been wondering what to do. A fourth coat of Orange Crush may be good :rolleyes::D

Never thought wax could sound so appealing, after reading your thread it made me hungry !

Cars a credit to you, good weather not to far away and you will be able to keep it clean for longer.

Washed mine in the dark the other night !

Ah yes, the sign of a proper detailer :D

Do you have any Dodo juice? The Orange Crush really does smell strongly of Oranges and the Banana Armour smells stongly of - yep, bananas!

Stunning results, the car looks great and, dare I say it, considerably better than how it looked before your unwitting stripping incident. To my eyes, at least.

Depending on what I think of C68 on its own I may well stick wax over the LLS and after my Pete's 53 has run out I think it might have to be a Dodo.

That last sentence must look so bizzarre to people unfamiliar with the sbject matter, lol :D

The problem with wax is there are so many! I so far have tried Collinite 476S (too 'sterile'), P21S, and Meguiars #16 paste wax. I think you have to experiment until you find a wax that suits your own particular colour AND the products it is put on. The Carlack 'twins' and 2 different Dodo Juices suit my Firefrost red lovely, so I don't feel the need now to buy anything else.

I haven't tried Petes 53, Victoria, Zymol, Swissvax and all the rest, but there are so many people happy with them - you just think 'I wonder'. It has been hard not to go for this new Dodo 'Double Wax':lol:

CleanYourCar.co.uk has got to the best AND worst site I have found recently :o
