Ford SportKa Dodo Juice Product Sample Review

On the photo you can see I have split it into the 3 areas the left side is covered with one coat of Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 which is now about 3 months old.

From the middle to the furthest right black line is freshly clayed paint and then sealed with 3 coats of Red Mist. This area the beading is very fine and tightly packed. 

And the far right is polished with Super Resin Polish and 3 coats of Red Mist. Where the little pink line is to the end of the panel I noticed a slight difference in the beading pattern, in between the smallest beads there was only the paintwork no finer or tiny beading from the black line to the pink line the is very fine beading with almost mist in between the fine beading

The only thing I can think that might make a difference here would be the amount of pressure applied when polishing but even when you look near the bottom of the panel the average size of the beading is alot smaller compared to how it beads directly above it.

Final picture which is mainly focusing on the test area

I have left The Lilac Quick Detailer till last, as you may have seen on my other post, i only applied this to a small area as i didnt want to kill any beading but when i checked this morning you couldnt tell where i had used it, this could be due to not having any wax and only a sealent on my car.

I am interested to see how this shapes up next week.

I sprayed Lilac Quick Detailer on to the area and dried with my towel I noticed the water dispersed a lot quicker from the panel into the towel than normal and in general a lot less effort was needed to get the smaller water droplets removed.
This shine on the area did seem mildly improved over how I remember it. Only time will tell how the beading will be affected so i will keep my eye on it.

Red Quick Detailer – Red Mist TEST

On my Boot Lid i tested Red Quick Detailer – Red Mist I decided to split it into three sections the left hand side I have left with Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 on and the right hand side I clayed and then applied 2 coats of Autoglyms Super Resin Polish. When I had buffed the final coat off it was really noticeable which side had been polished even with really cold hands as mine where.

I then sprayed Red Mist on to the area and did a wipe on and wipe off technique until no trace was left i found it was better not to spray loads on the panel as it seemed to be harder work to buff it off. 
I then repeated this twice too both areas both polished and unpolished. When I had finished you couldn’t tell the difference in touch between the polished and none polished area. When it rains it will be interesting to see which area beads the best and how long it lasts.

Autobright Polish & Wax Test

The Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 has been on my bonnet now for about for about 2 months now and is still looking very glossy and still has a lot of depth to it.
As you can see I separated my bonnet into four separate areas. I applied the Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze with a microfibre towel, it was easy to apply to my bonnet but it did haze off quite quickly.

I then moved on to applying Very Cherry – Premium Carnauba Wax. I did find this slightly easier to get out of the bottle than the Purple Haze High Gloss, it also seems to have a better work time.

The EZ Carnauba was the best product to apply as it freely came out of the bottle on to my the microfibre cloth, and it worked very well and soon covered my test area with little product needed.

Ok so the buffing and removal of products since I applied the Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze first I thought I’d remove it first, umm maybe a wipe on wipe off product I found it quite stubborn to remove.
Both Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba where very easy to buff off, you could almost just wipe the microfibre over the area and the product came off.

I applied all the products twice and tried a wipe on wipe off approach with Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze but I still found it hard to buff off

Overall View
Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba had both left there test areas very smooth  and glass like to touch where as Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze was still smooth but no where near Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba.
Only time will tell how well these products will stand up to the weather and aging.

UPDATE

26/11/08

Ok there was quite a bit of rain last night so I thought it was ideal to have a look at my Autobright test on my bonnet.
All the Autobright products have now been on for just short of a week. Whereas the Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 has been on now for about 2 months.

Beading wise there’s not a lot of difference between any of the 3 products from Autobright.  When I was stood at the side of the bonnet I could see that the area that had been treated with Very Cherry Wax was a slightly different shade of blue.
I would guess this is going to be down to it stripping the jetseal off and with it been a polish it has polished and cleansed the surface too.

Very Cherry Wax has very tight beading with no run off where as the Purple Haze had good beading but it was nowhere near as tight as Very Cherry Wax.
EZ Carnauba was pretty much if not a little better than Very Cherry Wax in the beading contest.
Jetseal is still holding its own 2 months on and beading tightly.
