Dodo Juice product line questions

[megacabcummins]

I want to try the Dodo Juice products, but they have so many of them where do you start? I have the Zaino on my truck now, but I plan to strip it cause I want to see what the truck will look like with a good Carnuba on it, there's nothing wrong with what I have just want to see the difference, if I don't like it the Zaino will go back on and then I can try something else later on. So which cleaners, waxes ect ect?

So the search function does wonders lol...

But I am curious if I wanted to can I put Carnuba over a sealant like Zaino or a similar product and would it make any difference or is that just a waste of time?

Absolutely. That is my normal process. Sealant for protection, wax for look and the joy or application.

OK cool.... Then once I get something other than rain it's time to strip the truck down to bare paint and get to work... Thank You

First off, the color of the wax doesn't make a significant difference if you are sticking to 1-3 layers. Some people are adamant in putting a dark-colored wax on dark-colors cars, light wax on light-colored... etc.... Dodo's forum has posts indicating this is not necessary. However, the scents from the various waxes range from very good to awesome; making it a pleasure to wax by hand (fingers actually). If you are going to use a polisher then you may want to consider larger pots or a wax stick (which I don't think AG sells).

If you want a Dodo 'nuba look then (2) 30 ml. pots would be where you should think to start off.

General Approach

Layer 0 - Prep as you deem necessary
Layer 1 - Dodo Juice hard wax
Layer 2 - Dodo Juice soft wax (soft always on top of hard)

Layer 1 can be replaced with Supernatural or Supernatural Hybrid. Both have a higher concentration of 'nuba. This variation will be a little more expensive than the hard/soft combination.

If you only want to try 1 pot then go with the soft wax and be sure you have a good sealant on the car.

My typical approach is 1 layer of hard and then 1 layer of soft. When I want to go a little over-the-top I apply 2 layers of hard and 1 soft. I do this all by hand (fingers) and I get a great workout. My grip strength has increased significantly in the last year. :-)

After meeting Pj from Dodo, I can tell you there is a little bit of him in every product (not literally). He is passionate about the waxes and they make great products.

For a pure wax treatment:

Wash, Clay...yada yada
Dodo Lime Prime or Lime Prime Lite
Dodo Supernatural

If your just trying it, get a panel pot. In my experience the wax spreads so much better after using Lime Prime or Lime Prime Lite.

I have one panel pot of Purple Haze Pro. I don't really like the panel pot size to be honest. I guess it is nice for trying and testing before you buy the full size. But in my opinion it is really just a P.I.T.A. To use out of such a small container.

The Supernatural finger mitts work really well with the panel pots - just a bit expensive though.
