Dodo Juice Diamond White. Used it for the first time yesterday and I'm pretty happy with the results.
Its harder to apply than the wolfgang fuzion that I was using but diamond white was designed for lighter colored cars and it does bring out the shine better than wolfgangs fuzion it it gives SFP a wet look.


a few other products I use on my car
i am looking into Dodo Juice Diamond White as well as I also have SFP. Thanks for reinforcing my thought.

What do you normally use to clean and prep the paint before proceed with wax?

all the other products I bought most of it I am only gonna use for a process that I will do once every 6 months with a 7 inch polisher and pads. I know looking at all the products to some that isn't very much into detailing may think its overkill but comparing our cars to darker colored cars ours won't shine or look as wet as much as say... a red car or a black car. So I find all the things I bought necessary I also have a few more products in my garage like Liquid glass polish and Mothers Detailer Spray and Mothers Spray Wax.

But as far as prepping before wax I just wash with Meguiars gold class car wash and dry the car real good with a micro fiber towel. Use regular dish detergent if you have coats of wax, glazes, sealants or anything else on your car to remove it all . If you havent clay barred you car do so to get rid of any contaminants then wash and dry and then wash and dry one more time. At this point you can wax if you'd like to but I like to use Wolfgangs Deep Gloss Paint sealant by hand and then top it off with 2 coats wax by hand but this time I didn't since I already did that the past two washes. I purchased my products from autogeek.net You can use the code dodo to get free shipping on any dodojuice products now. Hope that info helps. I'm constantly buying and testing products to keep my car looking wet and shiney so if I come across anything else I will let you guys know.
