    Ok so I decided that while the DP Poli Coat was holding up well (only been about two weeks, I think?) it can use a little help (I wasn't too crazy about the beading). Just having used my Supernatural I was expecting these two waxes to be about the same, but boy was I wrong. Unlike SN this wax came out like butter, and it was much easier to apply THIN, and I mean thin. This wax was by far the easiest wax to spread I've ever used. Imagine a more buttery Fuzion (it feels wet to the touch). Removal was a breeze, but there was one or two spots I noticed I missed when I pulled the car out and they were a bit fussy. The look it gave is like Supernatural, but just a bit more understated. By that I mean the reflections weren't as crisp, but it still has an amazing deep wet look.

    Pros
    -Amazing on
    -Easy off (if not allowed to dry)
    -Great look
    -Decently priced for a high end wax
    -Extremely Exclusive (only 539 made)
    -A little goes a very long way

    Cons
    -SMALL tub means little product and harder to take out evenly
    -Stains microfiber (assuming after wash stains should come out)
    -Stains applicator (won't even bother washing it normal wax is a pain itself)

    All in all I'm very happy with the outcome, and the purchase of this wax. If you're looking for a high end wax, but not wanting to spend $100+ don't look any further. I'll keep you all updated with the durability. Did I mention it smells delicious too?

    Pictures (I don't have any before's I didn't know I was gonna wax it till I finished washing, sorry)

    very good clarity in the last pic

    but your pics are quite grainy and not very vibrant in colour, so its hard to tell in terms of gloss

    im not a sealant man, but that DP poli-coat has got my interest. Given its the same company as WG, id imagine the german tech in the WG line-up would be starting to filter down to the DP stuff, but at a much cheaper price

    is the Austin that exclusive though? There are always heaps in stock on the UK sites and on ebay

    Ya the DP Poli Coat is a very good sealant for the price. As far as the camera, I'm sorry my Leica is dead and I had to improvise with a cheap Cannon. Supposedly it is exclusive, and once the stock is out it's out- according to DoDo. At the bottom of each tub it is numbered like "185/539". Regardless, its a great wax that could be had at a great price.

    Thanks for the review.

    Is that a darkish grey BMW? Can't really tell from the way pics show up on my computer.

    How would you compare the finish against Fuzion?

    It's Deep Sea Blue. Compared to Fuzion I'd say Fuzion does give a crisper look, and it is a bit wetter. I feel it does this because Fuzion is a hybrid (sealant/carnauba paste wax). You can honestly not go wrong with either, but with the refill Fuzion is the better value, believe it or not. Here is a few pictures of the same car with a coat of Fuzion.

    Pros of Fuzion
    -Easy on
    -Easy off
    -Amazing reflections
    -Pretty good durability

    Cons
    -Expensive initial cost, but after refill its a good value
    -Cheaper looking tub

    I have nothing bad to say about the performance of Fuzion lol.
