Dodo Juice

For as long as I’ve been washing cars I’ve been dragging the hosepipe around and getting it caught underneath the wheels, so why after all these years do I only now find that there is an answer – and that answer is Hose Blockers.

These cunning little plastic cups sit against your wheel and let the hose be guided around.  Simples!

Mellow Yellow isn’t normally the name that springs to mind when you want an alloy wheel cleaner that can shift baked on brake dust but in this case looks, and names, can be deceiving.

Knowing that your alloy wheels are quite possibly the most important thing to you after the car itself and knowing the lengths you’ll go to to avoid parking near kerbs or driving over potholes, Dodo Juice decided that too many rival wheel cleaners out there were harming the lacquer and paint of wheels and that they could do a better job. From experience, the mad scientists on Dodo Island can indeed do a better job and I think Mellow Yellow is further proof.

By targeting the brake dust itself, Mellow Yellow really gets to work on brake dust and leaves the wheels in pristine condition.  Whilst designed to only munch through ferrous materials (brake dust), Mellow Yellow is still strong so should be properly rinsed off, especially where brake pads are concerned.

Mellow Yellow comes in a ready to use spray bottle and a concentrated (dilute 1:1 with water) refill.  I’ve heard great results can also be had with diluting Mellow Yellow in use – making it last even longer!

The funny thing is, people have sold themselves on the idea that acidic cleaners are bad for wheels – wrong! It’s lazy chemists knocking up extremely caustic alkali cleaners that started this rumour mill grinding and Dodo Juice are keen to sing the praised of “targeted acid” technology cleaners… just like Mellow Yellow.

When it comes to words uttered by Dad’s across the country – from the comfort of armchairs and surrounded by the smoke of smouldering woodbines,  “get us a cup of tea love” is truly set in stone.  Close on it’s heels is the wisdom of always using the right tool for the job.

And it’s with these words ringing in the ears of those at Dodo HQ that the dedicated Dodo Juice wheel mitt was born.  Annoyed at having to dirty microfibre cloths or negotiate an alloy wheel’s spokes with a sponge, the Captain Crevice changes all that. Read the full story

The new insanely-concentrated Dodo Juice Supernatural shampoo has landed!

With so many weak car shampoos currently available, Dodo Juice got out the lab coats and have set to work to create quite possibly the ultimate in concentrated car shampoos.  According to Dodo’s Dom, some shampoos shamefully mix 1:100 with water or 1:400 for ‘concentrated’ versions.

Diluting at 1:1500 with water, you’ll only need 3ml per 5 litres of water!

Knowing that customers would rather pay for product than excess packaging, I think Dodo Juice have done the right thing by highly concentrating Supernatural into minimal bottles.  Diluting at 1:1500 with water, you’ll only need 2ml per 3 litres of water!  There’s also potential for cost savings by using less per wash, even though Supernatural may appear a bit more expensive at face value.

I feel the need… the need… for speed!

It’s hard to talk about the latest and potentially greatest new Dodo Juice product without quoting from Top Gun and I’m sure it would perform equally as well on an F-14 Tomcat as it does on your car’s paintwork.

After listening to their customers, Dodo Juice have launched Need for Speed, an all-in-one paint preparation, polish and protection solution in a single bottle!  Available in either 250ml or 500ml (personally, I’d go for the larger bottle as you’ll love using this stuff!)
