Dodo Red Mist

[Justin]

This stuff any good? Ordering a few bits a bobs from CleanYourCar and came across it..

Or anything else worth trying out?

 

[LiquidRich]

I think its bloody brilliant stuff personally, I find it makes the wax last ffor longer and gives a good shine. The other product I'd recommend is Meguairs Ultimate Quick Wax which is a very similar product

 

[Justin]

Where does it go in the 'routine'? Before wax, or after?

 

[Aluco]

I'm going to be getting some when I buy extra stockage next month, sounds like a good finisher for wax or decent for a top up. They do a tropical version too Justin, worth checking out ? Think it's supposed to be easier on/off.

 

[Aluco]

After wax mate.

 

[JD]

It's meant to be like a wipe down Justin, if I remember the chatter correctly. Very highly recommended from a few on here. Not tried it myself, have to say.

Nah mate I'm going to order some next month when I get paid, You're right though can't beat the box turning up :rasp:

 

[JD]

Aye, makes each month feel like 25/12

 

[Aluco]

Its starting to become £80 a month on products minimum. Expense !

 

[JD]

OK when you do 4/5 cars a month at 100 upwards

 

[Aluco]

I'm overbuying 3 different waxes already since buying the PC and only used one of them once !

2 more months and I will have enough for a good while unless I start doing other peoples more.
Need new drying towels wash mitts QD red mist and want some onyx too next month

Temped to try black hole too.

 

[Justin]

Ok, just ordered, but on CYC's website it came up in Dollars.. Anyone having this problem? Seems to have charged me the £40 as $40 and only charged me £29?

 

[JD]

PM Tim lad, he'll sort it out. Username is simply "Cleanyourcar"

 

[treemanx]

Slightly off topic, do we get a discount for CYC?

 

[Justin]

Emailed him instead!

Slightly off topic, do we get a discount for CYC?

No, but you collect points when you order, then redeem them in your next order

 

[JD]

No there is a discount system of points per purchase that you accumulate for future spending.

edit; beaten to it

 

[treemanx]

OK, another question... Do you get much points, say for spending £50 what are you likely to get free money wise with your next purchase?

 

[JD]

No idea how much the points are worth lad, been a few months since I ordered.

If it wasn't worth it, people would stop going. Tim is doing very well and has excellent customer service.

 

[treemanx]

Ok thanks, there's a few things that I want from CYC, its just trying to convince myself that I need them lol

 

[JD]

Want and need are two things worry every detailer

 

[Justin]

5p per point, and you get per pound you spend.

 

[JD]

So 50 times five pence, i.e £2.50.

 

[Justin]

Yeah, basically 5%. Not huge, but it usually covers the postage costs.

Exactly how I look at it.

 

[Lee-182]

CYC is where i get my stuff from, Awesome service and awesome point sceme.

 

[richy22]

got red mist too only used it a couple of times. It does effect the beading of dj blue velvet. Whether that means it's doing it's job I don't know.

Only thing I hate about it is even if there is a small wind you have to have the soaryer sooo close to the car otherwise it drifts of into the wind!!

 

[Justin]

Have you got to buff it off quite quickly then?

Most importantly, it smell good? lol

 

[richy22]

Yyes buff it off quickly. It doesn't really smell of anythink to be honest, well it doesn't to me. Not like megs that smells of coconut

 

[Justin]

Ok cool.. Do you apply it with a pad, then buff? Or just spray and buff like QD?

 

[Alan]

Juzzy,

You do know most of the Dodo is a lot of pisch...its all a gimmick, most in the 'know' on DW etc have written page after page on it..

I fell for it a few years back too when i had the 182..i had purple haze and orange crush..rip off!!

 

[Justin]

LOL yeah, bought it more through boredom at work! Fancied trying something new aswell and was ordering some applicators etc.

 

[Alan]

I know a boy with a black F430, he bought Swissvax Scuderia, its formulated for Italian paint for Rrari's, Lambo's etc..

For £80 it seems reasonable: http://www.swissvax.co.uk/products/wax-products.asp

Or maybe even give Saphir a try, i can't fault ONYX, been using it years now..

How about Zymol Concours: http://www.vertar.com/zymol/zymol-waxes-glazes/page-1

Pricey but on the orange metallic it'll set it off nicely, i seen it on an orange ST as a finishing wax after full correction, gives a deep wet look.

 

[Justin]

I actually looked at the SV Scud Wax, aswell as Best Of Show, but ended up buying Onyx. Red Mist was only £10 so not too worried if its pish.. LOL

I'd be more worried if that concours was pish though!

[Justin]

Unfortunately not got a spare £160 just now. Service for the car next weekend, and Tubi getting fitted

 

[richy22]

Aye Dodo Red mist just spray staright on to the paintwork and buff off. Do a small piece at a time though as you cant let it dry on.

I lied when I said it doesnt smell...I just went out and spryed a bit on the shed..it has got a smell but im not sure whatit is!

 

[Justin]

PMSL @ spraying your shed! haha

 

[richy22]

I was like..spray on my hand...ermmm no! Shed instead

lol, you really don't know what your talking about do you? swissvax products are the rip-off products - £80 for a wax is stupid when collinite wax @ £20 does the same job
