LRF4N Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 cheers guys, help is appreciated. had a look on i4detailing and noticed they got a blue wax as well- blue velvet, any ideas if this is better than purple haze? how much difference do the different colours add?

Very minimal differences tbh. Try sending Matt@i4detaling (7MAT is his username) a PM and see what he says. I'm sure there was a post about which of the waxes suited which colours.

Blue velvet is a hard wax whereas the purple haze is a soft wax, so for ease of use the purple haze will be the better option. I use the blue velvet a few times a year but find that while the results are stunning, it takes a lot of effort to use so i use a soft wax to top up on a weekly/fortnightly basis.

LRF4N Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 quick update on the wax- decided to go for purple haze dodo juice. looked ok when i buffed it off but after washing it a few days later is when i realised the quality of the stuff, water run off and beading is amazing n thats only with one layer. hopefully get a couple more on before santa pod! only complaint is u cant see it while ur applying it lol but happy with the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be difficult sometimes to see it, but at least it means you arent applying too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 thats been photoshopped stew! lol well i do like a challenge...its a sunday afternoon... the sun is out... guess wot im off to do?? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 well heres the result, mirror shine and flakes galore. u impressed stew? lol when i 1st started this thread i said i used to used megs tech wax which i loved. in comparison i think the dodo juice gives more waterproof-ness, more flaky-ness and is easier to take off. however tech wax is easier to app;y and gives a more glossy or wet look shine. and its cheaper but prob doesnt last as long. overall i think i prefer dodo juice but u can only admire the results in the sun or good light whereas tech wax results showed even when it was cloudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
