scoobyrob2002 07 October 2011 12:38 AM

TonyBurns 07 October 2011 12:39 AM

No, its not like some of the old autoglym stuff, its really top quality, lasts about 6 months between applications ;)

Decently priced aswell at £16

Dodo Juice Supernatural.

MattJ85 07 October 2011 08:38 AM

I have got a mica blue bug and got told that dodo juice purple haze was really good as brought out the depth as well? But a few people have been saying autoglym hd wax is good, so what do you think?

-shane- 07 October 2011 09:08 AM

2 layers of supernatural (excuses the poor picture)

95turbowagon 07 October 2011 09:11 AM

Think the dodo juice range are more for the summer months with less durability, fine if you don't mind replenishing wax every few weeks and they will give a better depth to the shine.

I found with the colli 476s after washing a quick spray over with a quick detailer has it looking like it's just been waxed again.

Can't comment for AG HD wax as never used it, mainly due to the price

TonyBurns 07 October 2011 09:12 AM

So you need 2 layers of supernatural but only 1 layer of HD....
Nearly a year since mine and yes ive not added another coat of HD to the car, still not too bad but needs doing again before winter :)

If you were near me, OX18, I'd lend you a pot of HD to do two cars. How near are you?

greatgonzo 07 October 2011 09:38 AM

You should use a sealant if you want the best protection for the winter, I personly use dodo juice hybrid it's half sealant and half wax so best of both worlds. Will give you at least 3-4 months protection and the pot will last years!!! So easy to use just make sure you put it on thin or it's hard to remove, the finish is truly amazing!

Ryan@Indigo-GT 07 October 2011 09:43 AM

I'd go with DoDojuice, their hard wax range is fantastic stuff!

wisky_uk2 07 October 2011 09:58 AM

i just polished and t-cut mine, didnt think about wax :|

greatgonzo 07 October 2011 10:07 AM

To be honest I think the hybrid is in a different class!
I don't think there is much difference between the hard and soft wax other than it's easier to achieve thinner coats with hard wax.
They do a pro hard wax but I'd still go for the hybrid supernatural, then top it off if I have the time with the standard supernatural wax.

Wax will add the protection needed to keep the car looking like it's just been polished and makes washing Soooo easy as the water runs off to aid drying.

wisky_uk2 07 October 2011 10:22 AM

Yeah I have some cheapy wax might go to have alook at some heavy duty wax though nice new coat for winter, I'm currently building a roof for my car at the back of my house only cheap roof bit of cheap wood and plastic roof to keep snow and rain off, it's also good cos I have good surrounding to build the roof to side winds/snow or rain lol

I dont think the deal is on now, I did it last year. Cuprajakes deal is good though.

cuprajake 07 October 2011 11:32 AM

no we use autoglym for work and we can sell it on, rrp is silly, the pots cost £20 so we charge £5 ontop thats all,

great product,
