Fiat Wash with Dodo Juice

[Reddwarf]

It's been a few weeks since I washed the Fiat. Rain last week left it fairly dirty. Not super dirty but lots of dirty spotting.

In December I bought some Dodo Juice products and have been eager to try them. I had wanted to wax with the Dodo Juice Purple Haze, but I decided to wait till next time.

The weather warmed up to high 60's.

Wheels:
Amazing Roll Off and various brushes. In December I bought the Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush. Works great but the backspash is terrible!

Finished with Poorboy's World Bold n Brite

Exterior:

First time to use Dodo Juice Sour Power Gloss Enhancing Shampoo . Really good soap! Smells good but not strong. Great suds and lubricity. I used 3 cap fulls in the bucket. Decent suds that lasted!

Suds after wash is done. I mean long after. Car was finished and put away. I was cleaning up and this was the amount of suds left.

Glass cleaned with Meg's glass cleaner

Cleaned interior with Sonax Dashboard cleaner and PoorBoy's Natural look

Final touch was a wipe down with Dodo Juice Basics of Bling Detailing Spray. First time to use this product. I really like it! I'm a sucker for trying new detailing sprays. This one is definitely a keeper! Easy to buff off. No streaking. Nice clean finish. Pleasant smell.

How do you like the Fiat?

I am liking it! Took a little time to get used to going from a more luxury level car but now I am good. It is way fun to drive and good gas mileage to boot!

Nice Fiat Sport, I have an 2012 Rosso Abarth. It cleans up quick because it's so small.

You are right about that! It takes a lot less time to detail. I love the Arbarths. Really thought about getting one but for a number of reasons went with the Sport.

How does it move? I have to admit I have a heavy foot and I'm used to driving V8s. When I drive my moms Sonata it's a big difference but after a day I get used to the 4 cylinder.

I'll be traveling even further for work soon so I need to find something that does better on gas. My truck is going to kill my wallet.


Back on topic:

I like Dodo Sour, it's a nice soap, I think it leaves a very noticeable gloss.

Rocket, I did have a Jag S-Type V8 that was indeed faster that the Fiat but with the manual and small size it feels very quick. If you get the Arbarth model it will sound great and be faster than the Jag and most v-8's!

Update on the Dodo Juice Detail Spray: The car was very dusty and a tad dirty along the bottom sides. I did a quick detail with the bling and it looks great!

I hadn't stopped to look at the Abrath or really any of the Fiats because of their size but they look really nice and the price wasn't bad either

I have a Abarth myself, best car I own so far. Lots of fun and easy on my pocket.
