Detailing Industry News!

This past month Dodo Juice created the extremely limited edition (20 containers) of their Supernatural Hybrid Wax Creation Engine Edition. This wax was created to celebrate the two awards that the regular Supernatural Hybrid won at the Detailing World 2012 awards and all 20 containers sold out extremely fast. Supernatural Hybrid Wax has been created in conjunction with Austrian cyber-craftsman Thomas the ‘Creation Engine’ and iClean.at, Dodo Juice’s Austrian reseller.

The Supernatural Hybrid Creation Engine Edition is a unique aluminum and perspex LED-illuminated airtight wax container, housing approx. 110ml of Supernatural Hybrid wax. Access to the wax is via three hex bolts opened via a special Supernatural hex tool. There will be a refill facility (at additional cost) so that the container does not become redundant once the wax has been used. 10 containers were sold for $459.60 each, with a total of $1527.60 being donated by Dodo Juice Ltd to Sebastian’s Action Trust. The other 10 containers were also sold for $459.60 by iClean.at, with $158.03 donated to Stiftung Kindertraum. Take a look at the amazing pictures of this special wax below!

New Detailed Image Products!

Check out some of the new products we added to our lineup this month, which includes the Rupes Polishers, RoboReel, and SM Arnold Speedy Surface Prep Pads!

The Rupes Polishers will help you achieve professional polishing results in far less time by safely and easily removing swirls, oxidation, ultra fine scratches, and more! It is powerful yet safe, making it perfect for not only experienced detailers, but beginning detailers as well. Check out the available two sizes today: LHR 15ES (5.5″ Pads) and the LHR 21ES (6.5″ Pads).

The RoboReel makes storing your power cords easier then ever before! Carry the RoboReel Portable anywhere, or use the ceiling mount version to keep your power cord rolled up and out of the way at all times.

The SM Arnold Speedy Surface Prep Pads will use the same technology as the popular NanoSkin AutoScrub Pads. Using these pads will allow you to safely remove paint over spray, light water marks, tree sap, rail dust, road grime and other extra stubborn surface contaminants safely and easily. Simply spray the surface with a copious amount of lube and remove this contamination with ease! You can use these pads via a random orbital or dual action buffer (do not use with a rotary) at a low speed (1-2), or by hand with the DI Accessories Hand Strap. Will these products help replace the clay bar completely? Share your thoughts with us!
