best cleaning products for black

[jahowi]

just been looking at some dodo juice and poor boys products at my mates shop
i would like sum advice as to wat to get ie wax, sealant cleanser ect

now i no purple haze and black hole are great for black cars just wondered if any body has tried any thing else

Dodo Juice Lime prime is very good and Purple Haze Pro is miles better than the standard Purple Haze.....

Another good combination is from Zaino, using Z2 then Z8

If cost is a factor, Autoglym SRP and then Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection

If cost is not a factor you could look at the likes of Zaino Glasur or Swissvax Shield or Best of Show which look amazing on Black.

Just to add, the main thing about Black cars is a good wash technique and with french paint being soft the wrong technique will inflict swirls and marring very easily

Dodo Juice Lime prime has Micro-abrasives & cleaning agents remove paint oxidisation, ingrained dirt & light swirl marks

Dodo Juice's pre-wax cleanser is with no abrasives for soft paint or pre-polished surfaces.

please choose with care..

I would go With AB Cherry Glaze and a quality wax.. like Collinite or one of our brand waxes. if you need more help just let me know.

Sorry lime prime lite is the non abrasive. missed off the "lite"

Agree although when my clio was machine polished, the paint turned out to be quite hard. Technique is everything. 2 bucket method, snowfoam is a must for me, reduces chances of creating swirls.

As for protection wax wise. I use Dodo Juice ~ Blue Velvet for summer, and more recently Collinite 845, for winter and longer lasting protection.

All depends on your budget ~ any questions just ask

i have used auto glym products before i was just after slightly up grading my cleaning kit baisicly i dont want to spend a silly amount on products but not the small amount i have spent in the past

Zaino and Dodo Juice are a good upgrade.....

I love Dodo Juice and have done since the days of having their Orange Crush wax but I have used Zaino before and like it as well.....
