Dodo juice supernatural works well on white, not the cheapest though but goes a very long way as you only need to use a tiny amount, i got a panel pot that i had about 6-8 coats from. :cool:

I would say ether Dodo SN or the Dodo Hybrid , but it depends how much you want to spend, also its about preping the surface first get a good sealant underneath first !! :wink:

Another one to consider if you're looking for a high gloss, wet look finish;

No customer reviews on Waxamomo site, but there are some on Clean Your Car website;

I've not used this product before, but I have used the equivalent for dark coloured cars (Poorboys Black Hole) and was really impressed with the glossy, wet-look finish it gave.

As Steve30 says, preparation is the key, as the products will adhere better to the paintwork and maximise the effect of your hard work. When I used BH, it was after washing (2 BM), towel drying, claying, rinsing and 2nd towel drying, polishing. Glaze then applied and topped off with a good wax to seal in the glaze.

Can take quite a while, but the end results are worth it, but be prepared for the usual comments from the neighbours; "you can do mine next", "you cleaning that car again?", "you'll wash, the paint off", " you'll make it rain again"........................

White Diamond is a great product and highly recommended, but if your going with the SN Hybrid, consider Dodo Lime Prime  :wink:
