πŸ›žπŸ§ͺ IRON FALLOUT REMOVER vs NORMAL WHEEL CLEANER β€” WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? πŸ§ΌπŸš—

They both clean wheels, but they’re designed to tackle different types of contamination. Knowing when to use each can make wheel cleaning much easier!

🧼 NORMAL WHEEL CLEANER

Think of this as your everyday wheel cleaning product.

A good wheel cleaner is designed to loosen and remove general surface contamination such as:

βœ”οΈ Road grime
βœ”οΈ Traffic film
βœ”οΈ Dirt & mud
βœ”οΈ Greasy deposits
βœ”οΈ General wheel grime

Spray it on, agitate with your wheel brushes where required, then rinse thoroughly.

For regularly maintained wheels, this will often be all you need. πŸ‘Œ

πŸ§ͺ IRON / FALLOUT WHEEL CLEANER

This is where products such as Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller come in.

Iron fallout removers are specifically formulated to react with ferrous/iron contamination β€” particularly the tiny metallic particles produced by brakes that become embedded in your wheels.

🟣 That’s why you see the famous PURPLE reaction!

The colour change isn’t just there to look cool for Facebook. πŸ˜‚ It shows the product reacting with iron contamination and helping dissolve it so it can be rinsed away.

It’s particularly useful for:

πŸ›ž Heavily contaminated wheels
🟣 Embedded brake dust
✨ Deep wheel cleans
πŸš— Vehicle decontamination
🧽 Preparing wheels before polishing or protection

πŸ€” SO WHICH SHOULD YOU USE?

Regular maintenance wash?
πŸ‘‰ Reach for your normal wheel cleaner.

Wheels covered in stubborn brake contamination?
πŸ‘‰ Bring out the iron fallout remover.

And occasionally you may need both.

Start by removing the normal road grime with your regular wheel cleaner, then use an iron remover when required to attack the embedded ferrous contamination left behind.

πŸ’‘ DETAILING TIP: You don’t necessarily need an iron remover every single time you wash the car. Save it for when the wheels actually need deeper decontamination.

🧼 Wheel Cleaner = everyday dirt & grime

🟣 Iron Fallout Remover = embedded ferrous contamination

Now you know why detailers have shelves full of products that apparently β€œall do the same thing.” πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

🦀🫧 BORN TO BE MILD… BUT STILL KNOWS HOW TO GET DIRTY! πŸ˜‚πŸš—

Meet Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild – pH-Neutral Detailing Shampoo πŸ’œ

Your car’s been out there dealing with rain, road grime, bugs, dust and whatever else the British weather has decided to throw at it… so it deserves a nice bubbly bath! πŸ›πŸš˜

Born To Be Mild is a super-concentrated shampoo designed to give you an effective but gentle contact wash.

🫧 WHY DETAILERS LOVE IT

πŸ’œ pH-neutral formula
🫧 Rich, luxurious suds
πŸš— Suitable for gloss & matt finishes
✨ Cleans without unnecessarily stripping existing protection
πŸ’§ Designed to help reduce water spotting
πŸ’° Super concentrated β€” a little goes a LONG way!

Basically, it’s mild by name… not by performance. 😎

πŸͺ£ GIVE YOUR CAR THE SPA TREATMENT

Pre-wash first to remove as much loose grime as possible, then grab your wash bucket, mitt and Born To Be Mild.

Work from the roof down, regularly rinse your mitt and leave the grubbiest lower sections until last.

Then rinse thoroughly and dry with a quality microfibre drying towel.

🚨 WARNING: Side effects may include repeatedly walking back to the window to admire how clean your car looks. πŸ˜‚βœ¨

And no… adding half the bottle to the bucket won’t make the car twice as clean. Save some for next weekend! 🀣πŸͺ£

🌿✨ GET YOUR CAR BACK TO MINT CONDITION! ✨🌿

Looking for that quick finishing touch after washing your car? Meet Dodo Juice Mint Condition – High Gloss Quick Detailer 500ml. πŸš—πŸ’¦

Perfect for those moments when the car is already clean but you want to give the paintwork that extra bit of gloss and slickness before heading out.

✨ WHY MINT CONDITION?

🌟 Adds extra gloss & depth
⚑ Quick and easy to use
🧽 Ideal for regular maintenance
πŸš— Suitable for bodywork and other compatible hard surfaces
🌿 Fresh minty character
✨ Great for that final post-wash finishing touch

πŸ’¦ HOW TO USE

Once the vehicle is clean and dry:

1️⃣ Lightly mist Mint Condition onto a panel.

2️⃣ Spread evenly using a clean, soft microfibre towel.

3️⃣ Flip to a fresh side of the towel and buff to a beautiful glossy finish.

4️⃣ Stand back and admire! 😎✨

πŸ’‘ DETAILING TIP: Work one panel at a time and avoid over-applying. With quick detailers, less is often more β€” a light mist is usually all you need.

It’s brilliant for maintaining that freshly detailed appearance between bigger detailing sessions or giving the car a final once-over before a show, meet or weekend drive.

🌿 CLEAN. SHINE. REFRESH.

Whether you’re a weekend enthusiast or simply like keeping your car looking its best, Dodo Juice Mint Condition deserves a place on your detailing shelf.

🦀🩷 DULL TYRES? FADED TRIM? IT’S TIME TO ADD SOME DARK MATTER! πŸ–€βœ¨

Meet Dodo Juice Dark Matter – Trim & Tyre Dressing 500ml β€” the finishing touch for getting those tyres, plastics and exterior rubber looking properly detailed again!

You can have gleaming paintwork and spotless wheels, but if the tyres are grey and the trim looks tired… something’s missing! πŸ‘€

πŸ–€ DARK MATTER SORTS THE FINISH!

Designed for use on:

πŸ›ž Tyre sidewalls
⬛ Exterior plastic trim
πŸš— Rubber trim
✨ Other suitable exterior plastics

Rather than leaving everything looking excessively shiny, Dark Matter buffs down to a smart satin finish, helping restore that rich, deep appearance that makes freshly detailed cars really stand out.

🧽 HOW TO USE

Start with a clean and dry surface.

Apply a small amount of Dark Matter to a foam or dressing applicator and work it evenly across the tyre sidewall or exterior trim.

Allow it to settle before buffing with a clean microfibre cloth for a neat, dry satin finish.

πŸ’‘ TOP TIP: Properly clean your tyres before applying any dressing. Removing old dressing, dirt and road grime gives you a much more even finish and lets the product perform at its best.

πŸš— Clean the car
✨ Polish the paint
πŸ›ž Detail the wheels
πŸ–€ Dress the tyres & trim
😎 Stand back and admire your work!

Sometimes it’s those little finishing touches that make the BIGGEST difference.

πŸ›žβœ¨ FINISH THOSE TYRES PROPERLY WITH YUMCARS DRESS VΒ²! βœ¨πŸ›ž

You can spend hours washing and detailing your car, but faded, dull tyres can completely let the finished look down!

YUMCARS Dress VΒ² – 500ml is the finishing touch designed to bring tyres and exterior trim back to life, leaving a smart, deep black finish that really completes the detail. πŸ–€βœ¨

πŸ”₯ WHY WE LIKE YUM DRESS VΒ²

βœ”οΈ Deepens and enhances the appearance of tyres
βœ”οΈ Leaves a smart, rich finish
βœ”οΈ Great for tyres, exterior trim & plastics
βœ”οΈ Easy to apply
βœ”οΈ A little product goes a long way
βœ”οΈ Perfect finishing touch after your wash

🧽 HOW TO USE

For the best finish, always start with a properly cleaned and dry tyre.

1️⃣ Apply a small amount of Yum Dress VΒ² to a tyre dressing applicator.

2️⃣ Work it evenly around the tyre sidewall, making sure you get into any lettering and textured areas.

3️⃣ Allow the product to settle.

4️⃣ For a more natural finish, lightly buff away any excess with a microfibre towel.

πŸ’‘ DETAILING TIP: Don’t apply tyre dressing over old dressing and road grime. Give the tyre a thorough clean first and you’ll get a much cleaner, more even finish with better durability.

And remember β€” tyre dressing belongs on the sidewall, not the tyre tread!

πŸ›ž CLEAN TYRES
πŸ–€ APPLY YUM DRESS VΒ²
✨ STAND BACK & ENJOY THE FINISH!

If you’re already using YUMCARS for your wash routine, Dress VΒ² is a brilliant product to finish things off.

βœ¨πŸš— FRESHEN UP YOUR INTERIOR WITH AUTOBRITE DIRECT! πŸš—βœ¨

A clean car shouldn’t stop at the outside! If your dashboard, plastics and interior surfaces are looking a little tired, Autobrite Direct Interior Detailer is a great finishing product for your interior detailing routine. πŸ’™

Designed to clean, refresh and dress interior surfaces, it’s ideal for quickly bringing that freshly detailed look back to your car.

🧽 WHY USE AN INTERIOR DETAILER?

Over time, your interior picks up:

βœ”οΈ Dust
βœ”οΈ Fingerprints
βœ”οΈ Light dirt & grime
βœ”οΈ Marks from everyday use

A quick wipe over with Interior Detailer helps remove this everyday contamination while leaving the cabin looking clean, fresh and well cared for.

πŸ’™ GREAT FOR:

🚘 Dashboards
🚘 Interior plastics
🚘 Vinyl & trim
🚘 Door cards
🚘 Centre consoles
🚘 General interior surfaces

🧽 HOW TO USE

For the best results, spray a small amount onto a clean microfibre cloth rather than soaking the surface.

Wipe evenly across the area, then use a second clean microfibre towel to buff away any excess and leave a neat, even finish.

πŸ’‘ DETAILING TIP: Use a soft detailing brush around air vents, switches, buttons and tight areas first, then finish with Interior Detailer and a microfibre cloth.

Perfect for your weekly maintenance clean, getting the car ready for the weekend or simply keeping the cabin looking its best. πŸ‘Œ

πŸͺ£πŸͺ£ THE TWO BUCKET METHOD – A SAFER WAY TO WASH YOUR CAR! πŸš—βœ¨

You’ve done your pre-wash, rinsed away the loose dirt and now it’s time for the contact wash.

This is where Autobrite Direct Purple Velvet Luxury Shampoo comes into its own! 🟣🫧

But how you wash your car is just as important as the shampoo you use.

πŸͺ£ WHAT IS THE TWO BUCKET METHOD?

It’s simple β€” use two separate buckets:

🫧 BUCKET 1 – WASH
Fill with clean water and your Autobrite Purple Velvet Shampoo. This is your lovely, sudsy wash solution.

πŸ’§ BUCKET 2 – RINSE
Fill with clean water. After washing each section of the vehicle, rinse your dirty wash mitt thoroughly in this bucket before putting it back into your shampoo bucket.

WHY TWO BUCKETS? πŸ€”

Every time your mitt passes over the paintwork, it can collect dirt and contamination.

If you keep putting that dirty mitt straight back into your shampoo bucket, you’re potentially putting that contamination straight back onto the car.

The second rinse bucket helps keep your wash solution cleaner and reduces the amount of dirt being transferred back onto the paintwork.

For even better results, use grit guards in the bottom of your buckets to help keep loosened contamination away from your wash mitt.

πŸš— WORK FROM THE TOP DOWN

Start with the cleanest areas:

⬇️ Roof
⬇️ Glass
⬇️ Upper doors & panels
⬇️ Bonnet & boot
⬇️ Lower doors, bumpers & sills LAST

The lower sections are normally the dirtiest, so leave them until the end.

🟣 WHY PURPLE VELVET?

Autobrite Direct Purple Velvet is a luxurious shampoo designed to produce rich suds and excellent lubrication during your contact wash.

✨ Rich, luxurious suds
✨ Excellent cleaning performance
✨ Great lubrication for your wash mitt
✨ High-gloss finish
✨ Ideal for regular maintenance washes
✨ Perfect partner for the two-bucket method

πŸ’‘ DON’T FORGET THE PRE-WASH!

For a really good wash routine, use Citrus Wash and/or Magifoam first to remove as much loose contamination as possible before making contact with the paint.

Then bring out the buckets and Purple Velvet for the contact wash. πŸͺ£πŸ«§

PRE-WASH ➑️ RINSE ➑️ TWO BUCKET CONTACT WASH ➑️ RINSE ➑️ DRY ➑️ ENJOY THE SHINE! ✨🚘
