Default Dodo Juice Supernatural

so heres a quick review of the famous "SN" : Dodo Juice Supernatural. I ordered my sample pot several weeks ago, but haven't made the time to try it out. well today i wanted to rewax my baby, so i figured this would be a good time.

this is my 04 s2k with 56,xxx on the clock that has NEVER BEEN POLISHED ever. so take into consideration that, plus all the layers of other products already still on my paint. i don't know if all the layers will hurt or help the overall effect of SN, but as for the results: WOW. amazing. never seen my car looking so liquidy.

the stuff spread...well.... oddly. its very grainy and looks a little like a mini tapioca pudding or something because of the carnauba grains in it that disintegrate onto your paint once applied.

in addition i'll add some pics of how my engine bay is looking. i last detailed it about 4 or 5 weeks ago. was an easy process and i used CG grime reaper (1:7), simple green (1:10), and No Touch Tire Cleaner/Shine Foam. i started with a cold engine bay, used the grime reaper first and agitated it on real bad areas then quickly hosed it off. after that i let the simple green mix sit for a few minutes before wiping it off then hosing it. once almost dried, i used the No Touch - just spray the whole bay down and let it evaporate on its own. don't run the engine to speed up the process - just wait 30 mins with the hood up.
(also in the pics u can see the SN applied to the body before buffing it off)





and now: SN. Dodo Juice Supernatural Sample Pot $30 for 30ml (maybe 4-6 wax jobs on an S2k?)
purchased from Dodo Juice USA. great customer service as it's being run by a young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable Dan, and of course Todd. (for those of you who don't know of Todd... well... he's Todd. not to be compared to any other)
SN has no scent added nor color added. it's simply meant to give you 100% of the best ingredients possible with no added BS. that's something i like about it. nice fresh smells are great and all, and i love Lusso Oro, but for a high premium/exotic wax, i like to know i'm getting ONLY the best.
as i've read from Dodojuice, they recommend you allowing the wax to cure on the paint for as long as possible, up to an hour they say. i let it sit before buffing off for around 50-70 minutes, and was thankful that removal wasn't TOO hard.

Wax type: Paste, carnuaba
Application method: applicator foam pad (Meg's), extremely thin layer (i enjoy taking my time waxing, working it in slow and ensuring everything is spreading even and thin. with the amount of wax on my car i don't NEED to wax it, so i only do it when i really want to have some one-on-one time with my baby)
Durability: Unknown at this point
Beading: Unknown at this point





lucy was outside trying to help me i think.... some times just being in the way though





















might have to get a full pot one day... i really like it! any questions/c/c always welcome

Microfiber review: Satin Edge 70/30 Microfiber Towel, 16 x 24 inches, 3 Pack buy one get one free. $19.99

These bad boys are nice, soft, and have a beautiful look. right now, the best deal on them from autogeek is buying the 10 pack for $39.99, as i don't think only getting three for 20 is worth it. Phil's Uber microfibers over at detail domain are thicker ( i doubt anyone sells a thicker microfiber than he does), and i suspect they'll end up holding up better in the long run. these are extremely soft feeling, but not quite as "plush" as the detailerdomain ones. i like the satin edge, the color scheme, and the size (they're not little cheap towels). i'd recommend them to someone who wants to try a new high quality/high class mf towel as long as you buy the 10 pack. other than that i'd say wait until Phil has another big microfiber sale, and stock up on the big uber towels. still an overall excellent product - time will tell how they compare

SN looks great on the red.

Here's my review of Rubbish Boy's Original Edition over on Detailing Bliss. It's wonderful stuff.

(BTW, total aside - I've got those Goodyear F1s on mine as well. What do you think of yours?)

i've have my goodyear eagle f1 GS-D3's for awhile now (can't remember when as i was deployed for 15 months - which kinda throws off time and also don't remember how many miles i'v put on them) but i love them. i also have a set of F1 all seasons, which are nice... but like the summer tires better. they heat up decently quickly, provide excellent grip, are great in the rain (as long as the tread isn't too low... my rear need to b replaced soon). the only issue of course is cold weather. i once drove home from Fort Bragg, NC back to Detroit for a four-day-weekend. it was Thanksgiving matter of fact, and my GS-D3's only had less than 4k miles on them. temp dropped big time once i was going through WV, and before i was in ohio, i hit snow. they held up fine at first. ended up COMPLETELY BALD once i was home. not driving like a dick with them or anything - just a soft compound not meant for use under 55degrees (which i learned too late ). lesson learned.

as for the feedback - thanx guys! i'm really impressed as this is the best my car has looked. extreme shine and gloss, and has never been polished yet. looks amazing. i love when i get questions about it and people find out i have over 50k miles on her and their jaws drop. (i'm sure some of u wackos have even more miles with an even more flawless finish so u know what i mean). seems like some folks kinda look at it like "oh well... it's a sports car..." as if thats supposed to mean i'm supposed to take better care of it automatically, or the paint is made to be any more shiny than the next car.

UPDATE! i'm going to update my review of the wax with my review of the microfiber's i used
