Default DoDo Juice Purple Haze wax

This is my first attempt at waxing a car and I've got to say I'm quite impressed with how easy it actually was. It was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, even in the direct sun.


Some nice reflection from the wax.

I used Poorboys Blackhole before applying the wax and I'm thinking it's come up quite well. I'm also really impressed with the Bilberry wheel cleaner

All I need now is a buffer and somebody to show me how to use it as our Rosey still has scratches showing

You could always use Pledge, yes Pledge, it has silicone in it and it makes the car stand out,

I've used pledge before and it does come up nice, I wanted to do it properly this time though

That looks shiny Nice job!

Can I ask, what does the Poorboys Blackhole do? Is it a pre wax thing, I'm not sure what the 'glaze' thing is

Got some Dodo Juice White Diamond Wax and got a clay kit on its way too

Hehe, bought mine on the strength of your post, just not got round to using it yet I'm going to have a go at claying the ZTT first.

Good to see the results on another silver car though

I couldn't actually see a difference after I applied the black hole It's supposed to cover up scratches but apparently not on our car The wax however is brilliant, and it smells ok too.
