Title: What's this "after wash bodyshine stuff?"
Post by: gixerthrasher on 22 December 2009, 13:15
A friend just bought a new ovloV & it came with a bodycare kit with some kind of after-wash solution that's sprayed on a rinsed body & then towel dried after to leave a super shiny, streak free finish..
Any idea if there are similar branded products available? I guess that's what garages do their forecourt cars with as you never see them polishing for hours & they all look shiny?
Just wondered if it's any good?

Sounds like a Megs Last Touch (quick detailer) type of thing.

Just found a Dodo Juice product called "Time To Dry"
Although they recommend a finishing coat of Red Mist after to help beading?
That's more money, time & effort  :cry:
Just looking for different weekly wash products to use to maintain my freshly waxed paintwork?
Currently using Snow Foam, 2 buckets, BH Autowash & Meg's Ultimate Finish quick-wax.. Ok, but they all need replacing..
That as well as my 6 month old Meg's sheepskin mitt is molting everywhere.. Well pants those!
Any ideas guys for well proven products?

Time to Dry is just as it say's, it is a drying aid. It does not leave any protection or add anything to the finish.

Dodo Juice Red Mist is a great product to keep that "just waxed" look. It's basically a spray sealant, use it after your weekly wash and it will both add a bit more protection and also add a little to the finish.

As for recommending a new shampoo, i've never actually used BH autowash so cant really comment, the only thing I will say if have a look at one of the Dodo Shampoo's, the Born to be Mild is arguably the best on the market.

Hope that helps a little,
