    Anyone tried it?
    I did a search and it doesn't seem popular but I love dodo juice products.
    Anyone want to give some input, how does it compare to other popular such as Optimum or CG's various citrus washes?

    I LOVE Supernatural. This wax actually competes with much more expensive waxes, has a great glow, and is easy to use. One of my faves.

    It's a pretty good product overall. It's a lot more popular on the UK forums probably due to the relative ease of availability vs the US. I can't really comment on the dilutions since I tend to use more than suggested with most washes. Having said that, the fact that it is super concentrated is supposed to be one of the selling points. It sudded up well if you are into that, but I tend to mix my wash into a pre-filled bucket and mix it with a mixing pole. Using 1 oz in about 4 gallons of H20, I didn't feel it had the lubricity of DoDo BTBM.

    I don't think its nearly as slick as say CG CWG/CWC, but doesn't necessarily mean it wont clean as well. Unlike the citrus washes, you don't have to worry so much about concentrations since the SN shampoo shouldn't strip any LSP. I found that about 1.5 oz of SN to 4 gallon was to my liking; however, its not very cost effective at this amount. Keep in mind that my expectations are pretty high when it comes it shampoo. I aim for a very slick feel and often use a combo of something like 1 oz BTBM, 1oz P21S and 1oz ONR for a regular wash which is probably overkill when it comes to cleaning properties.

    Hope this helps.

    Oops. The shampoo is also very good, but doesn't dillute quite as much as they say. It cleans very well, and is gentle on existing wax.

    i just ordered SN soap, its on the way though ... I hope it can be much better than my CG citrus wash n gloss lol ... TBH, i love all my shampoo DG 901, Optimum car wash & CG. All are good products. There is not much difference among them.

    I tried SN shampoo and did NOT like it at all...Matter of fact I don't like most of those high dillution ratio shampoos as they have one problem, - they are simply not slick enough and often don't have enough cleaning power. If you want a good Dodo Juice shampoo - stick with Born to Be Mild, it's much better.

    My sentiments exactly! For me to have confidence in the shampoo, it has to feel slick. It's just too hard to get that slickness with these high dilution formulas...and to use larger amounts of the shampoo defeats the purpose and isn't cost effective. Maybe they still clean at these dilutions, but I cant stand the feeling like I am washing the car with plain water. In the DoDo line, I even found that Born to be mild didn't feel slick enough at its recommended dilution; however, ounce to ounce, the BTBM was slicker than the SN shampoo. I found the Sour power to be the worse of the 3.

    what do you guys recommend then?

    im so shameful to say I've been using NXT car wash for the past 2 years. It is the only product I buy OTC tho, everything else Im using is CGs or DoDo

    If you really wanted to try a DoDo shampoo, the Born to Be Mild would be the best of the 3. P21S Auto shampoo is another great product.

    As matrix mentioned, the Optimum car wash has great reviews on the forum. I just ordered some yesterday from DD myself. Excited to try it out for the first time.

    Optimum Optimum No Rinse or Optimum Car Wash?

    can someone please elaborate the difference between the two other than the fact that ONR you can use it without rinsing etc.
