Taken from the Dodo Juice section at DW:
Will have to try out some of the new stuff....any chance AG is getting any of the new stuff and if so what?
These got launched to resellers and detailers on Friday, but will start to become available for general purchase this week:
SUPERNATURAL pH-NEUTRAL WHEEL CLEANER - 14.95 GBP for 500ml
This is an ultra-safe pH-neutral wheel cleaner based on neutralised acid salt and surfactant technologies. It is properly pH-neutral - we found a few people were mistaking 'acid free' cleaners for pH-neutral products when actually many were brutally caustic. ('Acid free' sounds safe, but could refer to a very alkaline product). Whilst Mellow Yellow will always clean more effectively, this is a good choice for sealed wheels, or those with very sensitive finishes (anodised etc).
SUPERNATURAL ULTRA-FINE METAL POLISH - 12.95 GBP for 100ml
An addition to our metal polishing range... this uses even finer media than our Fine polish, for a mirror like shine, either at the final stages of metal polishing or when polishing sensitive or soft finishes.
SUPERNATURAL MEDIUM CUT METAL POLISH - 12.95 GBP for 100ml
Heavier cut than our Fine polish (but still relatively mild... it's not a grinding paste) this has a bit more effect and is a good workhorse in the metal polishing range. Allows you to start with this, then finish down through fine and ultra-fine polishes for a flawless (and very shiny) finish...
SUPERNATURAL METAL POLISHING KIT - 35.95 GBP for 3x100ml = 300ml
All three metal polishes in a kit, with a microsuede polishing cloth.
SUPERNATURAL SATIN TRIM SEALANT KIT - 19.95 GBP for 50ml
This is a slightly-less shiny (more 'natural') version of our gloss trim sealant. Still tricky to prep and apply, but the results can be just as impressive... Note, however, that we are working on a much easier-applying trim sealant for the main Dodo Juice range, although this will be based on more traditional technology and won't have the durability of a crystal resin product.
SUPERNATURAL MICROSUEDE BUFFING CLOTHS (TWIN PACK) - 6.50 GBP for two cloths
These very soft (CD-test compliant!) ultra-short pile buffing cloths are made from microsuede and are nice and absorbent - we found they excelled at final buffing (after the initial buff). Being short pile they remove excess oils and residue that longer pile microfibres may miss, helping prevent holograms. We recommend their use after oilier polishes, glazes, waxes and sealants at the secondary, or final, buff stage. We would use a deeper pile microfibre at the initial buff as the longer pile gets less saturated with residue. So if you were using Supernatural wax, the first buff would be with SN super-plush buffing cloth (long pile) and then the seconday buff would be with one of these. You get two for 6.50 GBP so they are decent value, and they are lint-free and edgeless.
DODO JUICE 'COVERED UP' DETAILING BAG - 25.95 GBP
Basically, a Tooled Up bag (proving very popular) but with a removable cover on to keep dust out etc. Can be carried with cover on, or cover off. Also comes with a shoulder strap (detachable).
We'll be passing a selection of these onto the DW products testing team shortly, for their appraisal, and we also welcome your comments and feedback here.
This second wave of new products will be launched to resellers this week, and therefore be available for general purchase sometime after the weekend.
DODO JUICE TARMALADE - tar, rubber and glue remover - 15.95 GBP for 200ml
Based on pure, natural orange oil, this paste clings to tar spots/rubber/glue without running off and trying to strip LSPs elsewhere on the bodywork. It smells great compared to normal solvent based tar removers and because you can dab on a small amount where it's needed, it's very economical to use. Almost too good to be a car care product - with the smell and texture it has, it almost deserves to be spread on toast
DODO JUICE CLEARLY MENTHOL - glass cleaning spray - 7.95 GBP for 500ml
A minty, alcohol-style glass spray, that works a treat when it comes to getting windows clean and smear-free (tackles bug splats nicely, for example). We may even be bringing out a concentrate to self-dilute, but this is trickier due to water hardness in some areas leaving residue. So what you see here, for now, is our ready to go offering, and the best thing is it can be used as a residue-free prep for our Supernatural Glass Sealant or as a maintenance cleaner OVER the glass sealant. And this is why glass products took so long - we had to develop all together so they could be compatible with each other.
SUPERNATURAL GLASS POLISH - glass polish - 12.95 GBP for 250ml
[pic coming soon]
This is a low-chalking micro-abrasive polish for deep cleaning glass and windows. It WON'T remove scratches, but is great for getting them clean and it's residue free. Perfect under the Supernatural Glass Sealant.
SUPERNATURAL GLASS SEALANT KIT - covalent glass sealant - 19.95 GBP for 50ml kit
Based on the latest covalent 'nano' technology, where atomic bonds are swapped between the sealant and the glass itself, to give outstanding durability (6-12months). Needs careful application (ie ultra-clean and residue/product free glass surface) but fantastic results. The little bottle comes with a lint-free applicator cloth and you'll easily do a set of windows with just 50ml - probably two or three sets in all likelihood. Can be maintained with our Clearly Menthol glass spray, once it has fully set-up.
DODO JUICE BASICS OF BLING WAX-SAFE WASH, 8.95 GBP for 500ml
To bring Dodo Juice to a wider audience, we have simplified a few products and reduced the pricing - whilst keeping quality just as high as ever. This shampoo is the one we sampled a while back and many who tried it thought it was a new shampoo aimed at Supernatural or Born to be Mild... actually, it was our 'entry-level' Basics maintenance shampoo... pH-neutral, full of biodegradable surfactants, and still twice the industry-average dilution at 400:1 with water. Think of it as an 'RS' version of Sour Power... we have stripped the carnauba out as being an unnecessary ingredient, and made a purer and simpler shampoo as a result. As the name suggests, it is wax/sealant friendly and it can be used on windscreens without smearing etc.
DODO JUICE BASICS OF BLING WASH PAD - 6.95 GBP
Natural wash mitts like our Wookie or Tribble Mitt can be tricky to look after as all natural mitts can rot or moult. We have been researching sponges and synthetic mitts and came across this excellent wash pad - plush microfibre encapsulating a foam inner. So it addresses the usual problems of a sponge: 1) there is some pile to help keep dirt off the paint surface, and 2) dirt can't migrate into the sponge pores, because it is covered in microfibre. Add the fact it is plush, soft microfibre on the outside, plus it can't rot as it's synthetic, and it's good value at 2 GBP less than a Tribble Mitt, and you have the reason why it's the wash tool of choice in our Basics range.
DODO JUICE BASICS OF BLING DRYING TOWEL - 60cmx60cm - 7.95 GBP
A great 60x60cm drying towel in medium pile microfibre; sure, the Soft Touch and Supernatural drying towels are plusher and marginally softer, but this surely matches them for sheer absorbency - plus it won't lint... again, good value at 7.95 GBP, which is 2 GBP cheaper than Soft Touch for the same size drying towel.
DODO JUICE BASICS OF BLING CLAY BARS - 2x55g = 110g - 8.95 GBP
Two 55g bars of yellow poly-clay, the detailing classic... fine grade, so they suit most cars and come in a handy clamshell for storage. They also come with full claying instructions as they're in the Basics range. Good value at 8.95 GBP for 110g.
DODO JUICE BASICS OF BLING POLISH APPLICATOR - 2.95 GBP
Like the Blue Roo but a little less plush - and only marginally less soft. Has a pocket to help your fingers grip it. Foam inner so products can be metered out. Suitable for all liquid products, including polishes, glazes, pre-waxes and liquid sealants.
Will have to try out some of the new stuff....any chance AG is getting any of the new stuff and if so what?
