Lookie what I did today

Took a few hours today to do a pre-winter polish for the G. I wanted to try a couple of new products, and I'm pleased with the results. Now I just have to wait for everything to cure, so I can finally give some Dodo Juice Supernatural a try.





I will post follow up pix when I get the Supernatural on. And some daytime pix if it's nice out tomorrow.

After Dodo Juice Supernatural:



So here's my mini review:

Coles notes:
Although I understand that pictures are not very good at capturing light, but it has been an especially gloomy and rainy day today, and one row of my garage lights has burned out. But holy crap. After the PBW Black hole, and a layer of Z5 and Z2 Zaino the car looked great, just like last time, however, after putting on the Supernatural it gave my paint not only the awesome black chrome look of Zaino but it made my paint darker, more black if you will. I dont know how else to explain it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a half decent day so I will do what I can to take some pictures.

Application:
With the help of some new foam pads from Detailed Image. The Supernatural applied really easy. At first I was a little hesitant, and trying to remember that less is more, the wax seemed kind of "gritty" and before putting it on my paint I worked a little into my fingers to ensure it was going to break down, and not scratch my baby. The wax pretty much immediatly turned into butter between my fingers, so I had at it. The application was super easy. 10/10

Removal:
Supernatural was very easy to remove,other than a few places where I went a little overboard and had to put in a little extra elbow grease. 9/10

Shine:
So far the wax looks amazing, but I will wait until I see it properly in the daylight, so I can make a good determination.

Xander, congrats on a detail well done.

Your G looked great with the initial pictures you posted, but seems to look sharper, glossier and deeper with Supernatural on top. It is rather unique to feel the wax slightly gritty, but as you mentioned, it melts almost effortlessly.

I'm glad to see you had a great experience with the Dodo Juice SN, I'm looking forward to seeing your work outside if possible.

Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

George
