i'd agree with mr bum  :grin:

dodo will only be similar / the equivalent of the HD wax which is getting good reports and has obviously worked on your car

in future you could try dodo products but I wouldn't rush out and buy some just for the sake of it


products I would consider now would be sealants to use under your wax like jetseal 109 or dodo red mist which you could use as a 'top up' protection detailer

its all in the prep, no wax or sealant will make your car look good good unless you prep it properly. :wink:

yep sounds good to me :wink:

the polishing stage is the most important bit to get right and done thoroughly as this will effect the finish in the later stages :wink:
