You can by it from a few places online, this is one of them - Dodo Juice Wax

You could say Supernatural is expensive but not compared to its rivals Swissvax and Zymol and yes they are rivals Supernatural really is that good

aussie11 · May 16th, 2008, 06:15 PM

I got it online for £32, have wanted some for along time

Paul · May 16th, 2008, 06:29 PM

At that price I think I'd want it made from real Dodos!

did you use the lime prime before you used the wax? its really good. i use the blue velvet & you get a deep wet look shine

aussie11 · May 18th, 2008, 02:28 PM

No the place were out of stock, so I used the Megs stage 1 and 2 then the Dodo

hollinshead · May 29th, 2008, 11:28 PM

All the different wax dodo offer are confusing to say the least!

Which would you guys recommend for Hyper Blue?

Im not sure which website your using but this one explains which one to use on which colour
Dodo Juice Carnauba Wax | Buy Dodo Juice Car Wax Online - TheUltimateFinish.co.uk

I would probably recommend a hard or soft wax for dark colours or the rainforest rub for all colours.

I used the hard wax and gave really good results. Going to give it another go tomorrow with a few more steps added in then I will take some photos

hollinshead · May 30th, 2008, 12:13 AM

That's great, am I right in thinking it doesn't leave horrid white bits on the plastic trims round the arches too?

Is the only difference between the hard and soft the way in which it can be applied?

Ant FR · May 30th, 2008, 07:21 AM

you might want try Rubbishboys as he is the guy who works with Dodo juice, he's a user on seatcupra.net and designed his own polish, also a stockist of dodo juice too, a proper enthusiast.

If it gets on the plastic trim just wipe it off ASAP and it is fine.

With the hard wax it goes on thinner which is better, more even coat. Same way of applying with the applicator pad and wipe off with the microfibre cloth

Dodo Juice can leave white marks on trim so avoid any black trim. If you do get any wax on your trim, wipe it off and apply some trim dressing after you've finished.

The difference between soft and hard wax is, the soft is a little easier to apply but won't last as long as the hard wax. To make the hard wax easier to apply spray a mist of quick detailer onto an applicator pad this will make the wax easy to spread

aussie11 · May 30th, 2008, 08:30 PM

I found it very easy to use
