Description
Blue Velvet is the Dodo Juice hard wax created for dark coloured cars. It’s a sweet smelling balm that’s high in carnauba and blue beyond belief.
A great choice for all dark coloured cars – or why not apply it to a light coloured car? Being a dark wax, you can see where it’s gone… and if you apply no more than two layers it isn’t going to dramatically alter the original appearance. But beware of Blue Velvet’s seductive dark side – it may stain application pads and buffing cloths, although we’ve never known anyone’s fingers to go blue. At least, not permanently 😉
Expect a 2-4% dye tint on paintwork – it won’t be that noticeable but it is there and it does darken the original finish. Metallics/pearlescents are going to enjoy the best results here. Recoating interval is a recommended 2-3 months.
Hard vs Soft Wax – which is the one for you? Whilst many of our waxes have a standard consistency, we make some of our waxes a little firmer or softer than normal. Softer waxes are easier to spread by palm or fingertips. Hard waxes often cure faster and go further, because they are less likely to be accidentally over-applied. Both contain similar amounts of carnauba and beeswax and performance will be similar. Harder waxes may cure better if you are new to waxing, so these may seem to offer more performance. And soft waxes may feel glossier due to their ‘sorbet’ like texture. It often comes down to personal preference – there’s no right or wrong with wax texture, it just comes down to what you like.
