So I intend to clean the mini ether today or tomorrow...finger corssed for the weather front :thumbs up:

I got some DODO Juice but not had time to use it, so i intend on giving the car a full going over and applying the wax. However i have used wax on the cafr before and obv need to remove it before applying the DODO wax. Any ideas what is best to remove wax?

I use a Bitumen, Tar & Glue Remover. I spray it on, leave it for about five minutes, then power wash it off... Takes off the wax and also any tar that you may have on the car.. ;)

Also washing car with little bit of fairy liquid in bucket will remove the wax, only do this if you intend to wax right after tho as its harsh way of removing.

No more advice needed from me, Crombers has it covered, but, i would maybe suggest a one bucket method :Whistle:

...and in between dips of the sponge in the bucket you can just put it down on the ground, it'll be fine! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

And remember to scoop up all the soap from the bottom of the bucket ;):laugh:

You'll not be disappointed with the quality - mine is still beading and hasn't had a proper wax since late August!
