I use Dodo Juice products everyday and VFM you cant beat them!
Basic starter kit for you I'd suggest a bottle of Lime prime lite £13.50 if your cars paint is in good nick, or lime prime if it could be better.
Wax wise the generic all colour waxes are Rainforest rub and Hard candy @ £29odd from memory. If you want to get into the colour charged waxes the prices are £32.50 but still not bank breakers.
If you want the best Dodo Wax then its Supernatural @ £95 in a wooden pot or £65 (I think) for the plastic potted version.
If you want to try some waxes but dont want to commit to a big pot then they do sampler kits of the hard and soft waxes, or just buy a Supernatural sample pot! I managed to do 4 cars from a sample pot.
Pic is of an M3 with Dodo Rainforest rub



Best wishes

Tim

If you like soft waxes go for...

Dodo Juice Light Fantastic

If you prefer hard waxes go for...
Dodo Juice Banana Armour or Dodo Juice Diamond White or Dodo Juice / Rubbish Boy's Juiced Edition.

If I were buying another Wax right now I would try the Supernatural

Supernatural By Dodo Juice 200ml Plastic

As a rule I find Silver and Crystal quite cold colours and I like the darker colour charged waxes on the paint to warm them up a touch. My fav is banana under a layer of purplehaze so far.

You can buy trial packs which you could experiment with

Dodo Juice Straight 8 Sample Kit

just to add to Tim's comments, the hard waxes have recently had their formulars improved. so much so that they are nearly at the quality of supernatural. when ordering these, make sure you get them in the new style pots and you'll get the new formula reminds me, must ring Dom and sort some claybars and some more btbm

My is a gb270 so what do anybody think would be best for me to use. The cars paint is in great shape as i detail it. But i have always used poorboys and was thinking of trying something else.
Thanks for the help.

As above, try the sample pots, how about the `Lite & Dark`

i4detailing .co.uk | Quality car care products for professionals and enthusiasts | Dodo Juice Lime & Dark Sample Kit

Or just go for the Supernatural

Where abouts are you? might be able to help.

Only one ive been impressed with`s supernatural i certainly dont think the others are cheap, suppose its relative to waxes/sealants you`ve used before and the results youve got from cheaper stuff.

Collinite and chemical guys do cheaper waxes that in my opinion are on a par if not better than the cheaper dodo stuff-Just an opinion.
