Dodo Juice | Fillit Bang Show Glaze 500ml

Boom! And the swirls are gone...

Imagine if Barry Scott ventured into the world of detailing and requested his laboratory to develop a product that could swiftly and effectively eliminate minor swirls and micro-marring with just a single application of an uncomplicated hand-applied glaze.

Yes, you read that right – the days of keeping the process of filling, masking, or concealing swirl marks under wraps are long gone, and you won't risk getting ousted from your cherished detailing forum. In fact, as more and more detailers have chosen to address minor imperfections by employing filling glazes rather than mechanically polishing them out with a machine, there's been a growing understanding (and appreciation) of this technique.

Of course, there's nothing quite like permanently eradicating those swirls. We have a deep affection for machine polishing and the fantastic results (not to mention the therapeutic aspect) it offers. However, if you find yourself short on time, equipment, or the desire to engage in a full-scale polishing session, employing a filling or masking approach is the next best alternative. It's particularly handy for a quick touch-up before a car show or when preparing to trade in your vehicle.

While the results might not last indefinitely – weeks or months rather than an eternity – you won't run the risk of strike-through, you won't need to go through the hassle of masking, and there won't be any messy cleanup afterward. Simply apply the glaze and you're good to go. Oops, that sounds like a completely different advertisement!

For most car owners with daily drivers, opting for a pre-wax glaze instead of a regular polish could be a wise decision (or why not try the glaze AFTER your usual polishing routine... it might just add that extra touch?). It maximizes the finish and elevates your car's appearance to its highest potential before sealing those results with a wax.

However, it's important to note that using a glaze won't enhance the adhesion of sealant layers or extend the longevity of waxes. If you're aiming for the longest possible life from your Last Step Product (LSP), it's not the right choice. This is primarily for visual enhancement – achieving the best finish in the shortest amount of time with minimal effort.

For nano-ceramic sealants and enduring LSPs, the preferred approach is to start with panel-wiping instead of relying on Dodo Juice Fillit Bang to ramp up the shine. That's why cars treated with nano-ceramic coatings undergo comprehensive machine polishing from start to finish before application (or should, at least).

However, if you're in the mood, you can always apply the glaze over the top later...

Lastly, Dodo Juice Fillit Bang can be applied manually, following the traditional glazing process, or by using a machine polisher with a fine-cut foam pad. (Though if you're going to break out the machine polisher, you might as well go ahead and mechanically remove those swirls... just a thought!).
