Collilite 476s V Dodo Juice
Collilite 476s V Dodo Juice
I agree on all the points you have made so here my finding for us amatures....
Collilite plus and minus first tin is harder to get into with a old fashion label.
No real difference in applying either for me.
The wax seems to be a better quality and you dont need to apply it to your paint work as much
Three times a year should last your car well, twice early April and agian before the winter set in.
Good all round finish to your paint work.
My marks out of 10 would be 8.75
Dodo juice at nearly twice the price easy to open and to use.
Because the wax is made for certain colours you can find one for your car.
It goes on easy and is easy to remove if you watch the colour of the wax.
It make the car paint work look better, a bit like using colour magic I guess this is as Christian says down to the colour matching the paint work
It leaves a nice finish but i not sure if the wax is a strong as the collilite wax
If i had the extra time to apply this product every six week then it would be a winner but i don't.
So my winner by a fraction is .25 is Collilite.
I need to wait to see the water test on the Dodo juice to see if it gains any extra point there.
Christian I like your response but then again why would i not you are after all a professional detailer and a dam good one at that.

Fry-Up I got a quick Q too, earlier mentioned was hard and soft wax, why is there a difference?
According to Dodo Juice's website :
Quote:
Q - Some waxes are soft and some are hard. What's the difference?
A - Dodo Juice waxes come in both soft and hard varieties, allowing you to choose the type of wax that suits you. Soft waxes can be applied by hand in a thicker layer, but hard waxes go on more thinly and evenly by applicator. Ultimately, the recipes are similar; it's the way they're made that's different.
I think, like most detailing products, it's more down to how well the product suits you - i.e. you might find the soft wax a right pain to put on, and prefer the hard wax. Or vice versa.

For me PH Pro is very easy to apply as it's a soft wax and buffs off easily enough. I love 476 as well cos it's a cheap long lasting wax but if you leave it on too long it's a 'mare to remove :Bazza:
The colour of the Dodo waxes doesn't count for nothing, all the waxes in the range (not pro or SN) are the same, it's just the colour, smell and texture that is different. That is from the horses mouth as well from when I went to the Auto Finesse detailing day.
Beading wise the PH Pro is slightly better than 476 IMO, tighter smaller beads.
I personally think the collinite and dodo waxes are on a par with eachother and both have their uses. 476 I will use over winter as it's a more durable wax and the dodo I'm using in spring/summer.
I've still got my panel pot of SN to try yet, which I can't wait :thumbup1:

Lexusboy That is a very fair report Essex Racer i got the same results in my tests
I like both waxes but if I'm honest I wouldn't of paid £50 for the PH Pro (if I had bought it), the normal one is £30, which is probably the most I'll spend on a wax. You really can't go wrong with Collinite though as long as you don't let it bake on, 10 minutes max and it's best to do a panel at a time.
I bought the Supernatural as I want to know what all the fuss is about and whether there is any difference between this and the Collinite apart from the 75 quid!
End of the day a good finish is all down to the prep and not the wax IMO
