It’s impressive to think that the brand has come from no-where yet after tireless hours of product development and listening to what their customers actually want, Dom and PJ (and anyone else behind the scenes!) have a range of car detailing products to rival some of the best out there.

To celebrate, Dodo Juice are giving away a seriously special prize – a one-off turned aluminium jar with your choice of Dodo Juice wax!

All you have to do to enter is send them a special birthday greeting, but get creative!  All the details you need to enter can be found here on the official Dodo Juice website.

It may be a bit of a distance for UK Dodo fans but I know that some of you are already on that side of the pond.  For more details see the Detail Fest event on Facebook

So what is this shampoo going to be about?  Something super concentrated like Supernatural shampoo?  Maybe a shampoo that’s uber kind and gentle like Born to be Mild?  Who knows – I certainly don’t so watch this space.

I’ll let you know as soon as I find out more.

Any guesses for the name of the shampoo – please leave a comment below.

This site was originally using the Statement theme but when I saw Gazette Edition by Woothemes I knew it was destined to meet the Dodo.

In my experience, Woothemes generally go one step further than other theme providers and combine stunning designs, great functionality and kick-ass support.  Ok so some of their themes cost money, but it’s an investment after all and worth every penny.

That’s right, save the  20-stage detailing for the weekend when you’ve got all the time in the world.

When time is of the essence, all you need is Born To Be Mild followed by Need For Speed, a super mild shampoo followed by an all in one surface prep, polish and wax.

Keep an eye out for Dodo Juice at various shows throughout the year as the Dodo guys will be available to answer all your questions and give you product demonstrations.

Now along with the official Dodo Juice forum, you can also sing it loud and sing it proud that you’re a fan of Dodo Juice, at least to your friends on Facebook that is!  That’s right, Dodo Juice now has it’s own group on Facebook!

Get yourself signed up and become part of the family.  I wonder if that means that “Nanna” Dom will be knitting us all jumpers this Christmas?  Here’s hoping!

Well thankfully, the answer is very simple…

You use whichever you prefer! There’s no strict rule with hard and soft waxes, it’s just personal preference. Whilst there are slight differences in how the waxes perform, both will finish your car’s paint to perfection.

Soft Wax

Soft waxes are typically the easiest to apply, with it spreadable straight from the pot.  Some customers prefer to apply it by hand and thankfully the soft wax lends itself perfectly for this with it’s lovely texture.

The downside is that if you use an applicator pad, you can easily get carried away and overload it and cake the car in too much wax.

Hard Wax

Hard waxes last longer on the paintwork so are well suited for the winter months when you might not be working on the car as much.  They are also easier to layer thinly thanks to the harder wax recipe.

That’s all there is to it really – both hard and soft Dodo Juice waxes are easy to apply and weather well but each are slightly better in their own speciality.

Wax sampler kits

To make choosing your Dodo Juice wax easier on the pocket, try the new sampler kits:

• Wax sampler kit for dark coloured paint – Buy now »
• Wax sampler kit for warm coloured paint – Buy now »
• Wax sampler kit for light coloured paint – Buy now »

You need perfect preperation to get the best out of any wax, which is why these kits include Lime Prime pre-wax cleanser!  Choose from Lime Prime or Lime Prime Lite to cleanse your paintwork then decide whether you prefer the application of a soft or hard wax before buying the full sized version.

I’ll try and use this site to keep the world updated on my dodo juice exploits and on anything I think might be of interest.

Thanks for reading!
