As a fan of Swissvax and Zym0ls too, I was interested in testing the Dodo Supernatural. There are so many good reviews about this wax so I decided to get my own wooden box ;).



Car for the test was the old Audi 80 B4 owned of my father in law. So after a good wash I clayed the car with Megs detailing clay blue, dries with guzzler and polished the car with Prima "SWIRL", Rotex 125 and 4 orange light cut LC-pads. Prepared with Dodo Lime prime and a white polishing pad. Very easy to use and the best cleaning lotion on the market for me.



Afterwards I put a layer of SN on the paint with a Megs pad. 10 minutes are recommend to wait. After that time I took a Monster fluffy towel and a great wet shine came out. But there were a few little problems, like some shadows from the wax. After a couple of minutes later a did a second wipe with a new Monster fluffy and with a little more work as usual the shadows were gone. I knew this problem from reading another threads in different forums.



Gloss and shine are very good, the usage is like the P21S I think. Easy on, easy off with this small problems. It plays not in the same level like my favorite BoS or Mystery, but its quite good and worth the money.



Here are some pics.

Looks great. I have a sample pot coming to me, to give it a shot. Steelwind101 kindda sold me on it also. It looks super on red. Thanks for showing it.
 
Forget about all those Ferrari and Porsche details that have less than 500 miles on them, this is what true talent is all about! Amazing work, you should be very proud!



PS: lovely knitwork in the back window!
 
Nice work!



I posted my Lancer with this stuff on about 2 months, still looked great. Its starting to tail off abit as we hit week 11 though. Looks good wet look is dropping, beading and sheeting are down.

Not entirely true. It's easy when somebody who hasn't experienced both ends of the spectrum to make such a comment, but your comment has show that you are just guessing and your opinions are based on your lack of experience.



Restoring old paint is really the same process that is used on all paint (with little differences). If you can make new paint look good then you can make old paint look good and vice'a'versa.



Having done both types of work, I find new cars more challenging because much more work has to be done to show any improvement as the standard is much higher. Of course nothing is more fun then taking a 30 year old car and making it look awesome, but from a professional stand point your statement strikes me as mildly uneducated.



The Audi does look awesome though and I find SN to be an amazing wax (I think it brings more to the table then Vintage or BoS personally).

I'm going to agree with Todd here. New vehicles, as well as garage queens, require a different type of care. The 50/50 shots aren't as impressive, there's no oxidation to remove, and little paint contamination. In those conditions, it can be very difficult to impress the clientèle with those type of vehicles.



If anything, I think it could be more difficult to work on one of those. Here, I'll give you an example. I have a client with a garage kept, 2007 Porsche Cayman S. I have even posted it a number of times on here. I posted one of these details on a local Acura forum here and this is what one of the guys wrote in response:



Looks nice, but not to be a ****, but just about every car that is a few weeks old will look nice after a wax

And my response....

On the contrary, it is actually much more difficult than doing an older vehicle for several reasons. Firstly, because this vehicle is of the calibre that it is, the owner's standards were very high. As well, the dealership had installed some swirls prior to delivery that had been filled in with a glaze.



Because of this, and because of the fact that Apollo Detailing carries such exacting standards, I had to be very precise and use the correct techniques and products in order to deliver a finish that the owner would be floored by.



And...I did floor the owner. Approximately one after application of the Swissvax, the owner saw the vehicle and was simply ecstatic about the look. It was fit for Best of Show.



While the simple wet look shine of most places would deliver adequate results, I only deliver outstanding results, period.
