    I've used the Dodo Juice clay lube, white diamond carnuba, and tarmalade and generally really liked it. I'm interested if anyone has tried the following products and what you thought of them:

    1. Shampoos - so it seems the make like five of them and all seem pretty good for what I'm wanting.
    2. Tyromania tire dressing
    3. QD's - time to dry and red mist (for different reasons) - best I found so far that I like is Prima Slick
    4. hard versus soft comparison - I've only tried the hard (and that only once).


    TIA,
    Tony

    I'm a huge dj fan. Really great stuff.
    1. All shampoos are amazing. Great slickness, suds and cleaning abilities. Sn and btbm are my favorites.
    2. Only product I don't like of theirs. Save your money.
    3.basics of bling is a good quick detailer. Tropical mist is my favorite spray sealant by far. Amazing shine.
    4. Hard is more of a protecting wax and soft is a beauty wax. Very great shine out of them.
    I would highly recommend trying lime prime with a rotary and a uber black or blue pad. Probably my favorite product of theirs.

    Actually already have a bottle of lime prime that I haven't used yet. I'll have to break it out soon.

    I like Born Slippy lube and BTBM shampoo. IMO the SN shampoo doesn't deliver enough price considered. I haven't tried Sour Power but I'm usually not looking for extra glossing in washing agents. I didn't like Time to Dry (I much prefer Prima Hydro), Tyromania or Tarmalade.
    I haven't used any of their waxes, I'm more of a sealant guy, or Red Mist.

    Being authorised by Dodo Juice i have used most of thier products, the only product i have not used is Supernatural Hybrid and Tyromania so i cant answer one of your questions.....

    Chemgys99 has summed it up very well

    1. For their shampoo, personally for me BTBM is my favourite, actually is my fav shampoo out of any on the market. SN dilution ratios are crazy and Sour Power is a good for another reason, depending on the customer.....If you want that nuba look without waxing, then sour power is there for those type of people.

    2. Never used, but hear great reviews and has been used to dress trim as well....someone mentioned 3 months out of Tyromania....which is suprising as i get 3-4 weeks out of Pneu.

    3. QD, Time to dry, obviously is a drying aid, can also be used as a waterless wash, but it will kill of any beading. Basics of Bling can be used as a waterless wash also......Red Mist (original) is a sealent QD which dries very quickly, good on glass (not windscreen) and adds a nice glossy finish, but if you are living somehwere warm, it is best to use the "Tropical" version to allow you the time to work it in before it evaoprates. Red mist will give a months protection in itself.

    4. As mentioned Soft wax give a wetter finish, but hard wax gives longer (very slight) protection....for me my favourite waxes from Dodo Juice are Supernatural as it doesnt add anything more, just protects....Purple Haze Pro as its just amazing for gloss enhancement and durability. I tested this on my van with Swissvax Crystal Rock and allowed another detailer to test for gloss, popping fleck, water behaviour and he thought what was the best result as Crystal Rock, well nope is was PH Pro....went to a detailing meet and my van which was recently done in PH pro was parked near the wash bay, being hit with water and everyone commented on the sheeting abilities. Finally my last fav wax would be Orange Crush, high in oils is gives a very wet and deep finish.
