pektel how much is the going price for the Dodo Juice Supernatural 250ml, im finding it close to 200, i guess thats the going rate, but its worth it, also thats for how many free refills? will the smaller plastic one cover the car a few times? its about half the price thanks

I can easily get 15-20 coats out of the smaller pot. The larger 250ml pot I'm still on my first fill. Refills are about $100, they ain't free

Cheapest place to buy Supernatural is at www.obsessivedetail.com

I just got 4 oz of Zymol Ital (1/2 of a jar). Can't wait to try it out... quite a bit more expensive than the Supernatural though:

ok thanks alot, ill probally try the smaller pot first, that zymol ital looks crazy! i wonder how much better a car could come out after seeing how well the supernatural works lol

 

[Lincoln Jealous]

YouTube- used zymol wax on VW golf tdi

not bad for a blue car WOW

 

[Lincoln Jealous]

what do you think is better, Zymol Titanium or Supernatural?

 

[pektel]

I would say Zymol Concours or Supernatural. I wouldn't mess with Titanium. Or Swissvax Concorso. But Concorso is about $279 IIRC. Zymol Concours is around $175.

Here's what I would do after all polishing steps have been completed:

Glaze: CG EZ Creme Glaze or CG Wet Mirror Finish
Sealant: Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection sealant
Wax: Your choice. I like Supernatural. I haven't tried the Zymol Ital yet though. I also like Lusso Oro.

If you want the absolute longest lasting, most durable wax, get Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. It does look good, but not nearly as nice as some of the others. It's also cheap (about $15 for a 16 oz bottle)

i was walking through walmart the other day and say autoglym wax, i've never seen it before, is it any good?

 

[pektel]

Yes, it's actually a great wax.

Back story on that:

Autoglym was only selling to detail supply shops not very long ago. Autoglym HD was their flagship wax, which retailed for around $100. It was starting to gain popularity on the detailing forums. Next thing you know, AG made a deal with Walmart. Whenever a giant conglomerate gets involved, prices drop, because they are all about volume. Think about it. Online retail stores are carrying maybe 20 pots of this wax at a time. Walmart can take a shipment of 100,000 or more. Guess what that also does to the price?

I don't know if the formula was changed when the walmart version came out. Others have used it with great results. I have enough wax to last me a lifetime, so I try not to buy "regular" waxes anymore. I like to try a little more exclusive waxes, like the Zymol Ital. Not many people will shell out $400 for a pot of wax. And judging by the pictures/videos I've seen of vehicles wearing Ital, it's going to be more of an exclusive look too.

But for $30, definitely buy Autoglym HD wax at Walmart. It is an excellent value.

good thing i bought it then i also found that pepboys carries it and its polish, soap, and quick detailer thanks pektel

 

[pektel]

There are a lot of good AG products. And I haven't used any of them. I hear their custom wheel cleaner is very good. And their super resin polish.

 

[bearsfan39]

when do you put the polish on? like is it before the wax or after, or are there more steps involved then just wash, clay bar, wax/polish

 

[Lincoln Jealous]

Cant wait for spring!!!

Bringing a thread from the dead..

Even though the snow is all gone up here because of the warmth and rain..

 

[Big Mike]

Well, my mark VIII was $1000, it has really decent paint, the old but amazing work in this thread makes me giddy to get my car clean. I'm all for detailing too, I love the hobby. I'm just a little shocked. I don't think I could muster 40% of the purchase price of my car for wax. I was floored when I saw those prices. I mean sure, if you roll a Ferrari (or other car that screams "i got a little pecker") you got the cash to burn, but for a lincoln? I think my Mothers brand stuff is just fine.

 

[FASTLLS]

That stuff is the sh!t though..
