Any other reviews mate? Looks good.

I never trust clips like that as you don't know what's been done before hand. It's like the man at the shows with the bonnet that's been waxed 100 that day. lol

Dodo Juice Time To Dry works the same as the AG Autogloss Rinse.  However, whilst the water sheets great, cutting drying time considerably, the trade off is that, unless you've just waxed it, you don't get proper beading when it rains.  For me the beading is more important than the quick drying.

Still trying to decide on my one favourite product but probably wax.  Don't use it every week obviously but wouldn't not be without it.  A car without wax is sacrilege to me.

I tried it on my neighbours Renault Twingo. He washes it every week, but hasn't polished or waxed it in 3 years. We were amazed at how well it looked after using it. The shine only lasted a few days of course, but the way it aids drying is very good. Used on well waxed cars it has the benefit of aiding drying, therefore reducing the need for contact.

It's cheap too. I but it from a trade supplier, but it can be bought off ebay for around £25 delivered. That's for 5 litres that you dilute down 1:100. That equates to over 1000 applications.

Duragloss 901/902. Had tried numerous car shampoo inc. Born to be mild, Zymol, Swissvax, Poorboy. Meguair gold. No thing beats this shampoos for VFM, good cleaning ability (Even dirty wheels) and ability not to strip out the wax I applied weeks ago! It also smell nice as well!
