Product: Dodo Juice Supernatural
Purchased from: Justin at obsessivedetail.com



Initial thoughts upon receipt were a litte surprising. The 200 mL pot is considerably smaller than I had expected. Nonetheless, excellent labeling design. I wish Dom would turn the SN logo into a tshirt! After opening, I noticed there was virtually no scent. Which is fine with me, as long as the performance is there.

Another surprising feature is the classification by Dodo Juice as a soft wax. For some reason I had always assumed this was a hard wax. Nonetheless, I was still impressed by the overall presentation.

Application:

I used a red euro CCS foam applicator to apply SN. Granted it was cold outside (about 40-45 degrees F) so I found it a little more difficult to spread. A quick spritz of water on the applicator remedied this though. After dampening the applicator pad, application was very smooth. The layer I applied was barely visible.

This is what the pot looked like after I was finished with 2 coats on the hood, one coat on the rest:




Removal:

I waited about 10 minutes before starting to remove.

I simply buffed the residue off with a Shag Rag (www.theragshack.com). Removal was effortless. It was easier to remove than any other paste wax I have applied.

I waited until the next morning to spritz with qd (Optimum Instant Detailer) to remove any residue that I may have missed.

Results:

Have you ever sat on the lakeshore on a still day, where you can see a wet reflection in the water's surface of the surrounding forest? That's about the most correct way to describe the look it gives. Wet? Check. Sharp? Check. Depth? check. I would love to see it on my vehicle after correction. I can imagine the results are even more stunning on a corrected vehicle.

Here's a couple shots of my car. The trunk is corrected, the hood is not. Pictures aren't the greatest, as I have virtually no experience being a photographer. So they don't do it any justice, but here they are:








Final thoughts:

Superb wax, excellent price for the product. My only regret is not buying the wooden pot, although I love the looks of the plastic pot I have. Maybe I should buy the wooden pot in addition!

Thanks for looking!

interesting about your comment on the softness. I too would have thought that it would be a hard wax. They should bring out superrockhardnatural

Nice review, always like seeing pictures of new products.

Ya i tend to like hard waxes myself, I feel you use much less.

Supernatural V2 has been on my top list for a while... love that stuff. I found it strange also that they classify it as a soft wax because mine's hard as hell. Also, being that it spreads so thinly, I've found that applying it with a wet applicator, especially on lighter colored cars, can be a bit deceiving. It looks like you're applying wax, but it's just haze from the water... and it's even trickier doing it in cold weather while it's wet because the water evaporates slower. Best way to apply is get a little friction heat going when applying it to the applicator and use that as a "primer". After it's been primed it's easier to apply. And don't worry about applying too much; it's almost impossible!

Actually SN is very soft when you compare it to the likes of RBOE and some of the other top SV waxes. RBOE, Mystery, and Divine are probably THE HARDEST waxes to date.

huh? Do you have Rubbish boys original? I've got a pot here in my hands and you can make a valley thru it with your finger. I've also got the 30 ml size of SN and you can not do that, no matter how hard you try.

Does this wax brighten or darken the paint? Is it better on dark or light colored cars? I like a nice warm glow myself.
