Review: Dodo Juice Sour Power Gloss Enhancing Shampoo
Introduction:
This sample came from Dr. Oldz. Thank you Dr. Oldz! A few weeks ago I had an opportunity to use this product to wash my wife’s car. However there wasn’t any “stuck on” bugs or anything so I wanted to do another car in order to further test it’s cleaning ability. Last weekend I washed my neighbors van with it as well. After not being washed in the past few months it was a good test vehicle for cleaning ability.
Product Description (from AG website):
Dodo Juice Sour Power Gloss Enhancing Shampoo is more sweet than sour if you’re a fan of carnauba car washes. Sour Power Shampoo contains real wax-grade carnauba to give clean paint extra luster. The enticing apple-scented car shampoo is pH-neutral and highly concentrated. Dilute Dodo Juice Sour Power Gloss Enhancing Shampoo up to 500:1 and give your vehicle a gentle wash and waxy shine.

Conditions of vehicle and environment:
This vehicle was last polished about 4 months ago but last washed one week ago. It wasn’t very dirty and I didn’t even take any before pictures. It was a cold morning (Approximately 28 Degrees)

After thoroughly rinsing the vehicle I mixed about 1 oz. of Dodo Juice Sour Power Gloss Enhancing Shampoo (DJSP) into about 4 gallons of water. Then I mixed the solution together with my arm (Brrrrrr!) and dropped the Grit Guard in. Finally, I circulated it a little more with a quick jet of water to activate the suds. My first observation was that the soap wasn’t overly “sudsy” which for me is a good thing. The qty. of suds seemed to be just about where I like it. Lubricity of the wash solution is among the most important things to me and when it came to this category I would rank it in the middle of the pack of car shampoos I’ve worked with.

It was early in the morning and while the sun had come out, it was just beginning to reach the car. If I didn’t waste any time I would be able to wash and dry the car without pulling my canopy out. As an extra precaution I would wet the car about once every couple minutes during the wash (basically each time I rinsed a “just washed” panel).
First the roof and windows were washed and rinsed. Next the hood, trunk lid, and then the verticals were completed.

Finally I switched to my flood attachment and rinsed the car one last time following the sheet of water off of the car in order to remove as much water as possible before “towel time”. At this point the sun had moved into the sky far enough to pose a threat so I moved quickly with my towel to eliminate all the water from the glass and paint before water spotting could occur.
I don’t pay too much attention to “x” product or “y” product “adds gloss” but I have to say after standing back and looking at the car I thought it was indeed extra glossy. I assumed it was just in my head and was only the simple fact that the car had been washed. However a little later in the day my wife took the dogs for a walk. When she came back inside she asked me “What did you put on my car!” I told her I only washed it to which she replied, “Whatever you put on it, that’s the best it has ever looked!” I wouldn’t go that far but the pictures certainly don’t do it justice.
