LIM3's Run Down on DoDo Juice Born To Be Mild

[Lim3]

Hello Everyone, I finally got around to using this shampoo and making a quick review !
Being a DoDo Juice fan my expectations are up there but I'm sure it will deliver great results

First impressions, smells great. Has a thick syrup consistency.
Presence is very nice as well as a Nice color and bottle design.

Now to the interesting part.

Concentrated ? Used 4-6 caps for each 5 gallon bucket.

Suds/foam. Foam was plentiful when filling up the bucket and seemed to last the entire time (1:30 hours)

Using my new wookie fist I noticed that thing extracts so much water ! I had to fill up my buckets 2 times .
While filing up the buckets, I saw the soap lasted and continued to foam up even with the added water.

Cleaning : while I used it both in the two bucket and foam gun I noticed the pre soak turn out wasn't as great as my optimum shampoo I use regularly. There was still a very very light layer of dirt on my car. I foamed it three times to get it clean enough to wash it with the two buckets.
Following the pre soak I got to using the two buckets. Worked very well with the fist. Good/great foam and cleaning.

Note:
(The cleansing power of the pre soak could of been my fault, I could of added to much water to the mix causing the foam gun to not work as well) I used three capfuls and filled the rest with water)

Lubricity: personally I think it ranks high with how soft it feels and how well it worked.
The high lubricity really made the MIT glide across the surface. Not to mention it made the water feel softer than usual leaving ZERO water spotting !

LSP was untouched which is an amazing attribute of this shampoo.
It Left a really nice glow to the paint as well.

Final pics

Quick Run through

Pros*
-Cleaning properties help really give a great clean to the vehicle

-high Lubricity to help against swirling your vehicle

-No water spots
(could differ depending your water/location)

- high foam/suds that last & won't diminish during your wash

-smells great possibly grape ? nahh... maybe raspberry ? Or blueberry ? Or could it be a crazy mix of all of them ?! Jeez my nose is broken.

-will not strip your existing wax/sealant

-after math = priceless

Neutral*

-(Does not have gloss enhancers)
Some prefer it that way, some prefer gloss enhancer shampoos.

-Really thick and tough to get a full cap full due to the high concentration


Cons*

- Price
- Size

- available in small 250ml (8.5oz) bottles
Unless purchased directly from over seas in which case you can buy larger bottles !

- is never on BOGO

Overall score.......8.5. Would be a 9-10 if it was a tad cheaper.



Oh and I got to use my Daytona brush. Why didn't I get this thing sooner !

For those that look over my review, I'm looking for some feed back.

Would you prefer the pics all the way towards the end or beginning ? Or leave it as is with each pic placed under an attribute of the shampoo ?
(Example) foam/suds /pic of suds action

Perfectly placed pics and great review. To expensive for me, but I like the results you got

Dodo juice told me directly that BTBM is not designed for a foam gun/cannon, hence, the lack of pre/soak cleaning ability. Used in 2 bucket, it cleans great. Nice review, I have the same thoughts for the most part.

That makes perfect sense.
I figured since all the descriptions say its "highly concentrated" and "great foaming ability" it would pair up nicely with the gun.

That's great to know man, thank you

I agree with you that it's too expensive but if you say it, now I know it's too expensive. I thought it was just me being a cheapskate.

BTW: Lim3, Great review and fantastic pics. I thought about buying a Wookie also but again I start to sweat when I put it in my cart. LOL

thanks man, the fist is nice but it soaks up a ton of water. that thing is crazy.
as for the soap, its expensive for the amount of soap. worth it ? depends if you have the little extra to burn. i got it in a trade so it was a WIN for me.
i will not use it as a weekly wash, but will use it on a monthly basis.

Very nice Lim3 looks great.

On a side note what kind of lights did you use for your halos?

thank you :dblthumb2:
the halos are stock however, i purchased a aftermarket kit that replaces the stock white chip. The chip that takes its place basically give it the ability to change all sorts of colors..
hope that answers your question

yea i had the same problem with SN soap in my foam cannon. Did 3 pumps and there was so suds or foam so i stopped doing it and just went with the 2 bucket method

 

[Lim3]

So instead of using those soaps in the gun what should we use in place of them for a pre soak ?

That's interesting because I've had the same issue with Sour Power, BTBM, and Super Natural in my foam gun....not impressed.

Any suggestions on what to put in the foam gun then? I don't necessarily like the idea of mixing shampoos during a wash, but I guess I could just keep using Optimum Car Wash in the gun and use DD in the 2-bucket.

That's what I was thinking. But using optimum as a pre soak will make using a non gloss enhancing shampoo in vein ? Since OS has gloss enhancers and BTBM does

 

[WRAPT C5Z06]

If u want to stick to a non glossing shampoo in the foam cannon, CG MATTE wash or GTechniq G1 wash work great. For gloss enhancing shampoo, there's a lot: CG honeydew, glossworkz, maxi suds, mr. pink, wash 'n gloss, wash 'n clear. DP Xtreme foam is another good none.

Yes, it would be rather contradicting to use a non gloss shampoo in a foam cannon, then use a gloss shampoo in a bucket. JMO.

Great car by the way...they are so much fun, its crazy. If not for the economics, it might be something I'd consider.

Nice review.

 

[fenderpicks]
