    Re: Dr Oldz Nuba Thread (Master Edition)

    Dodo - Purple Haze Pro

    This wax has a lavender spicy kinda coco scent to it. Very addicting

    This is one of Dodo`s soft waxes.

    Applies like butter. This wax will stain your applicator purple.

    Removal is about proper timing.... not exactly WOWO but you can`t let it fully haze over either. Key is to have it feel slightly tacky when you swipe your finger across it. Usually two smaller panels or one larger panel can be waxed then removed. If you time it just right, removal is easy. I prefer a shorter napped towel and turn frequently. I usually stick to a darker colored towel just so I don`t see any possible staining. Although I may have just made the application and removal sound hard there, it is actually easy.

    This is one of my favorite looking waxes on darker colors. Gives a dripping wet look with great depth, gloss and that rich nuba glow.

    I would be careful around plastics with this wax just as a precautionary measure but haven`t had any issues in the past.

    Durability is 3-4 months.

    Dodo says their pro versions have a bit of sealant in them to aid in durability and I find the pro versions do last about a month longer.

    Very nice beading properties. Those that really like bead porn will love this wax!!

    This works great on all dark colors wonderfully including metallics.

    I always love the look of this wax on a properly prepped surface and it will remain in my inventory for the vehicles that I truly want to show off!

    Dripping wet, depth, glow. And with the quoted section above, sounds like a good wax to have.

    Thanks for the post.

    Dr.Oldz,

    Would you happen to know if the Purple Haze Pro is temperature-sensitive in it`s application/removal?

    It`s starting to cool off here in the midwest-middle 50`s for the high temp.

    Thanks.

    PS: I followed your thread on the old L2D forum. Thanks for reviving it here.

    It’s not really temperature sensitive. The only thing is maybe let it sit on the panel a bit longer so I becomes tacky as I described above if it is cooler out. I have used it in a wide range of temps with no issues.

    Re: Dr Oldz Nuba Thread (Master Edition)

    Just used an old tin of Meg’s Gold Class I had lying around (will add a pic later if I remember).

    Its definitely an attractive, rich look on black and not shabby on silver. Smells very good. A little more difficult to wipe off when dried to a haze, but not unbearable. I recall the durability being poor, although I’ll likely top with GC Spray Wax before some upcoming rainy days.

    Either way, it’s nice to go back and see, apply, smell a classic in my arsenal.

    Huh, interesting...I never thought of it as a wax for black.

    IIRC (and that`s a mighty big "if") it contains *some* abrasives. Just a touch...maybe that could explain the buff-off as some older abrasives were indeed a bit of a PIA once they`d dried. Perhaps Mike Phillips (just saw a post from him today, first time since forever!) will chime in, I bet he`d know.

    Megs markets GC for black. Granted most carnaubas look nice on this paint. I do recall GC having very mild cleaning ability from reading an old MOL thread. I don’t recall abrasives but that could be.

    acuRAS82- Huh, I remember the black car on the lid but always thought of it as a bit "bright" for darks...anyhow, yeah...it can be hard to tell what Meguiar`s means when they say "clean(ers/ing/etc.)". At one time they meant "abrasives" when they said "Cleaners" and "NONabrasive" when they said "Polish". E.g. M83 "Dual Action Cleaner Polish", the two words meant the opposite of what I`d have thought.
