Looks good. If you're particularly wanting Dodo then keep them or get some Natty's or Collinite in a proper sized tub.

im unsure which to go for, thats why i was thinking getting both, as one is hard and other soft? see which one i get on with better then buy the bigger size tub

only thing i would change is the maxi suds. really didn't like it personally.

what would you suggest?

may even purchase pressure washer and snow foam

dodo juice btbm would be my first choice, its quite expensive but has a very good dilution ratio.

when do you use the quick detailer

i washed the car like so:
rinsed before starting
2 buckets with maxi suds and wash mitt
rinsed
clayed(caused some white marks like when you wet flat, but i used plenty of born slippery :S any ideas why?)
washed 2 bucket method again
rinsed
dried with MF towel
used poorboys swirl remover, didnt remove many swirls tbh, if any but got rid of the white marks from clay
used it again
did wheels / tyres
then dodo juice purple haze, didnt get on with it so will be buying something different
then geld dash
clean seats etc

any help appriecated as im a noooobie

everything i used i applied wih foam applicator pad, or microfibre applicator, then removed with fresh microfibre cloth

when do you use the quick detailer

The quick detialer is exactly that. Its a top up for your wax after you've done a general/weekly wash but not got the time or a full detail isnt required :y:
