Was thinking of picking this up, but of course its slightly pricey but I suppose you get what you pay for.
My question....
It's a 250ml tub, how many applications would you get out of it roughly ?
Also, anyone used it that can give me some feedback ?
-
supernatural is awesome wax, money well spent if you've got that sort of cash:) you will proberly get 20/30 applications or more depending on how you apply it as with all dodo products a little goes along way.

Thanks Dan.
That tub would easily last over a year then ?

And then some!!!
only need to wax the car approx 4-6 times a year. Most waxes last around 6-8 weeks, more depending on their durability (Collinite 915 on mine lasts for about 3 months before needing a fresh application!)
Don't wax your car every week as after about 3 coats you only end up removing what you put on the previous week. A quick going over with some speed detailer such as Megs Last Touch will be enough to bring back the shine
If I had the cash I'd be tempted to try some :smiley:

Nice one Rhyso, didnt realise you could bring back the shine using that stuff.
Once/If I get the supernatural, I dont mind sending you enough for a couple of coats to try.

That would be very kind of you :smiley:

Now that is a kind offer :smiley:
You don't have to go for the Wooden pot, you can get the SN cheaper here:

The wooden pot is just that little bit more special though.

you can get panel pots which save the hassle of sending stuff etc... allows you to try it.. enough to do a couple of applications
tbh I wasn't that impressed when I tried supernatural... I much prefer using chemical guys 50/50
remember that at the end of the day the wax is your sacrificial layer and it is the work that has gone before it that truly gives you the shine
-
I've used Collinite and Lusso Oro and IMO both gave a better wet look finish on a black car than supernatural.
-
Thats 2 of you guys not that impressed with supernatural ? Why is it costing so much ? I thought with this kind of stuff you generally get what you pay for.

That was on my shortlist. :sad:
-
Was it V1 or V2 you guy's tried?
They updated Supernatural at the start of the year.
-
Not sure but bought it around April/May time.
Honestly, despite decent prep work in each case, I still felt that Supernatural wasn't as good as the others in achieving that wet look that I was after.

Sorry that was a typo. Had to edit it. Honestly didn't find supernatural gave me the wet look that collinite and lusso oro both did.
-
Whats it like for protection compared to collonite etc ?
-
collinite 845, 476, 915 will protect your car up to a year and is detergent proof. dodojuice waxs will last 3/4months and the supernatural and the new pro waxs last a bit longer.
i use a collinite 845 over chemical guys m-seal and cap it off with purple haze. have a look at my scratch repair thread in the stickys to see.
-
HAve a read of this thread: clicky (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=76435). Basically supernatual lasted around a month and collinite 476s lasted three months.

nice:) the nattys held out pretty well though imo
-
The 915 sounds like good stuff. Shocked at the supernatural :sad:
-
Should I swap the supernatural for the 915 ?
-
That sticky was back in 2008 with the original version of SN, the new version is out now and is much better.
915 will give better durability, a year is a bit optimistic though. Should give approx. 4-5 months protection.
-
I use the collinite 476 and it gives fantastic results and lasts aaaages. It really adds depth and gloss to my tornado red but I found that on the fiancee's old met silver car it didn't really add much to the look ... it definately adds something to her new mercarto blue polo but it still doesn't add as much depth as it does for the tornado red.

was only stateing what collinite claim that there waxs protect for :wink:

Am i right in thinking you pay an extra £30 for dodo wood because its in a wooden container ? :shocked:
-
Yes, but you also get 50ml more product, and you can get the Wooden Pots refilled direct from Dodo.
-

They both say 250 ml

That`s where i was looking they both say 250ml at the bottom of the description.I think they have made a mistake on their site,someone might be a little dissapointed if they order 250ml and only a 200ml pot turns up :wink:
-
I hold my hands up, my mistake :rolleyes:
I've sorted it now, thanks for pointing it out though :wink:
-
I'm confused. You are not supposed to wax the car every week after the weekly clean? :huh:

it wouldnt do any harm to wax after a weekly wash.

Will my supernatural give me a glossy wet look ? Im getting a bit worried :sad:

dont worry dude seriously :wink: do a test panel(door or a wing) and look at the difference.all dodojuice waxs will give you a glossy wet finish,keep in mind though that different paint colours and finishes will play a big part in the final look if that makes sence. silver and white cars are the hardest colours to capture that wet look shine, blacks and blues reds etc give better finishes due to there colour.
but all that said!!!
try not to listen to peoples opinions too much as you will find with every product there will be lovers and haters. it all depends on if it works for you and gives you the look you want.ive been in the trade 14yrs now and its still the same with people loving and hateing products.
-
Really don't be worried, you have bought a very good quality wax.
Just to put your mind at ease:

It's not all about the wax, Dodo or not, it's the prep before hand (wash/clay, polish, glaze/sealant) that will give you the "better" results (and to some extent ensuring good products that actually work together well!).
I think if I was to buy a brand new car I would get it professionally detailed from the off and then trust myself and my knowledge (thanks to peeps on here) to keep it in top condition :drool:!
-
yep... I said this before. preparation is key.
Kev bought a load of dodo products including lime prime so he'll be alright... just a little tired after using it all!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence guy. I am hoping that the dodo stuff will be forgiving to me.
I'll need to read up on the claying, polishing and waxing on exactly how to apply etc.

Hey there Kev
Last weekend I applied Supernatural (only one coat) to my Ford Bantam which is white in colour.
The car already has 2 coats of Collonite on it. I found that after adding the Supernatural the car seemed to be slightly more glossy but at the same time more wet. But for the price I honestly expected so much more. :cry:
What I like about the Supernatural is the beading... Its raining outside and the beading on SN is awesome compared to Collonite.
To be honest I wont buy SN again but I would apply it to the car anyway as I found it adds to the vehicles overall shine.

Hi Mike, I cant really compare the SN to anything else as thats all I have ever used. Its good to hear your thoughts on the SN though, I too was gonna try the Collonite but might do what you did and apply both. I still only have 1 coat of SN on my car because since last weekend of applying it, it has not stopped raining for longer than 5 mins all week. Now the car is getting dirty again, its a pain in the rear. The beading as you say really is good with the SN.

collinite is for protection and durability, dodojuice doesnt last long on the durabilty front but is good for show car use due to its gloss and wet look factors.
on mine and customers cars i do two layers of collinite 845 and then cap it off with a layer of purple haze :grin:
-
I have to disagree with the comment Dodo juice is only for show car use.
I use to own a Focus ST in the Electric Orange and only ever used Dodo Juice Orange Crush on it (unless I was testing different products on the odd panel). Anyway, I found durability to be a good 3 months, It would last longer but I always applied another layer of two before then.
I'm not arguing against the Collinite, there aren't many waxes that can compete with it for durability.
Different people get on with different products and I suppose thats the whole fun of detailing.

fair play!! ive got a jar of orange crush on reserve atm, dont get me wrong i love the dodojuice range waxs etc, but like you say it cant compete with the durabilty of collinite, protection is our main goel in detailing.
totally agree with you that different people get on with different products :smiley: ive been using the same products for a long time now :embarassed: and its only been the last 2/3years that ive tryed new products but my method is still the same :smug:
-
Got myself a panel pot (which is enough to do the whole car 3x i reckon) of supernatural. Finally got a long enough break in the weather to give it a whirl today. Only one layer as theres now workmen shredding old hedges down the road, and my car looks as if its been to a timber yard :cry: But I was pretty impressed (car was given the full treatment last week ending with collonite insulator wax, so the base was good).

Think I'll be investing in a full size pot in the near future!
