I've been eye balling dodo juice waxes for some time and i think i want to try it out problem is I cannot decide on which one to get. here's a pic of my truck... what do you guys think would look good on it in your opinion? Its not a REAL dark gray but as you can see in the pics it has a different tone when the sun hits it.





 
Supernatural indeed, however it's way too expensive..

I'd go for the Hard Candy Wax as it made my friends silver BMW pop, and it's in the price range of the other DoDo's.
 
Light Fantastic Soft Wax or Diamond White Hard Wax, no question, and it's what DDJ recommends for silver, white and pearlescents. I have both, I prefer the soft for ease of application, the hard for durability. I used this on my wifes pearl white Altima and man what a difference. It made the Metallic POP!
 
Supernatural hybrid is probably the best choice.

I love Diamond White on silverish colors personally so that is a solid choice as well.

Rubbish Boys Juiced Edition is also another good one for that color too
 
It really does not matter IMO. Dodo makes great waxes. They also found a niche that they were able to sell. Hard and soft wax and "color specific" waxes.
Look for the things that are most important to you. Looks, longevity, ease of use, wipe one wipe off, complicated cure process, soft wax, hard wax a more natural based wax, synthetic based, mixed. I'm willing to bet outside of hardcore dodo users and detailers you could put 3 different dodo waxes on your truck and the average person or client might find slight differences. Even then it's in the eye of the beholder.
If you have a flawless finished paint on your truck you could put a black wax and a white wax on your truck and there would not be much different. "color specific" waxes are so slight of a difference if any you should shop based on what attributes are important to you not based on what wax looks best on this color because in the end most people can't tell or the difference is so slight that it's not worth the extra $$$ to buy into it. So many great waxes out there that will not break the bank that will look great on any color.
Before you press the send button on your wax order. Ask your tub of white wax if it knows your truck is silver?
 
I would use Blue Velvet Pro. Better durability than a strait wax and looks great.
 
What color wax you use depends upon the look you want. Do you want it brighter or deeper? Warmer or cooler? More soothing or more pop?

O Boy! , been wondering when those are going up for sale on AG...
 
Since you are only using it on your own vehicle, why not try out a few of the 30ml (panel pot) sizes. You can order a 2 pack, or a 6 pack. Even the small pots will do your vehicle multiple times. That way, you can decide for yourself what looks better.

If you buy the full size tub, you'll have it for a long time, whether you like it or not. Once you've decided what looks best to you, you can always order the full size.

Based on DDJ's recommendation, I'd try Light Fantastic and Diamond White. Light Fantastic is soft, Diamond White is harder. Not a lot of difference in application if you are doing it with an applicator. The look is very similar, if not identical.

My off white (cool vanilla) PT Cruiser looks the best to me with Light Fantastic.

If you like waxing frequently, a 2 pack of Light Fantastic and Rain Forest Rub would be a good starter pair. If you want a little more durability, the hard waxes are supposed to last longer. That would be Diamond White and Hard Candy.

When I first did the PT Cruiser, I did half of the tail gate with Light Fantastic, and the other half with Wolfgang Fuzion. I thought the Light Fantastic looked better when it was initially applied (more and deeper reflection) but after a few days both sides looked the same.

Depending on what you're willing to spend, many other waxes are also available in sample sizes.

You should also consider starting with a sealant rather than a wax. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0, Menzerna Power Lock, Blackfire Wet Diamond, etc. are all excellent products. You can put a topper of wax over the sealant. The sealants definitely last longer than wax.
