Dodo Juice Detailing Buckets

How much? For a bucket? Anyone would think we were selling crystal meth to toddlers. But no, we just cater for the bucket aficionado. Someone who appreciates twin buckets of a clear plastic persuasion, so they can see how grubby their wash water gets. They are also likely to appreciate the useful 20 litre capacities of these buckets, the optional Grit Guards and the rather natty Dodo Juice livery kits (complete with graduated measuring strips). For those who don't appreciate such finery, the bucket aisle of your local DIY centre is calling. They only cost a couple of pounds, you know.

However, before you rush off and borrow a few notes from the wife's purse to purchase these puppies, please note that crystal plastic is more fragile than normal. Yes, these buckets are poncey lightweights for fancy detailing types and self-destruct under hard use. This means they should be treated with care and respect and really not used very much at all.

Dodo Juice Soft Touch Drying Towel

If you're using a chamois to dry your car, then it's only a matter of time before the Animal Liberation Front (Bambi Deer Division) pay you a visit and stuff rabid gerbils through your letterbox. It is therefore far safer to use the finest synthetic microfibre known to humanity, as woven on Dodo Island. A whopping great 500gsm in weight, it is softer than other mega fluffy microfibres as you don't want to rub any old rag on your pristine paintwork. Sure, waffle weaves absorb fractionally more water, but they're like a badger's backside compared to this smooth operator.

Size 60x60cm. RRP 9.95 GBP.

Supernatural Drying Towel

I saw one of these on a sunbed in Mauritius and knew we had to swipe it for use as our super premium drying towel. It is made from the fluffiest part of the Dodo (the underbelly) and is over a metre in length. This means you can do half a bonnet, or a whole Smart car, in one go. Just drape it over the top, pat it down like a suspect in TJ Hooker, and lift it off. But don't be surprised if you find it gets put back into the airing cupboard after its wash. Towels this soft and fluffy are treasured by ladyfolk who do not understand how a car can possibly deserve a nicer towel than the cotton terry cloths they routinely use.

Size 122x66cm. RRP 22.95 GBP.

Supernatural Wash Mitt

Before George Lucas rings his lawyer, he should be aware that we don't legally refer to the Supernatural Wash Mitt by its colloquial and popular nickname: 'The Wookie's Fist'. We can see where people are coming from, though. It's an ultra-soft wash mitt with a massively deep pile, and if wash mitts are your thing then this is the daddy. Or the Chewie. Believe it or not, people even give their wookies names and there's even a set of care instructions for them somewhere on the internet, from washing them inside a pillow case to combing them with a pet brush afterwards. They also attack and eat lesser wash mitts and drink half your bucket in one go. A strange and mythical beast, the Supernatural Wash Mitt.

The world's priciest wash mitt. RRP 19.95 GBP.

Hose Blockers

One of those genius inventions you’d normally see on QVC and be half tempted to buy on your wife’s credit card. Four little hose guards that prevent a hosepipe or pressure washer line getting trapped under the tyre, when you try and pull it around the corner of your car. You can see a demo by one of our Dutch resellers, Tim. He’s got the most famous chinos on YouTube thanks to this sterling performance: the vid.

4x Hose Blockers RRP 12.95 GBP.
