Soft99 Fusso 12 Months Auto Care Waterproof Wash Coat Detailing Wax Dark Color

Product Information

In this review, we take a look at the highly coveted Soft 99 Fusso Coat wax. If you’re looking for a wax that’s going to produce jaw dropping reflections and gloss, create insane water beading results, all at a reasonable price point, this may be the perfect wax for you. Who Makes It?

We think this is the best wax a country mile at this price point. There are however plenty of excellent alternatives, such as In the real world, and particularly with our grimey UK roads, we think about 9 months is a more realistic expectation which is still extremely impressive. With that in mind, a 200g pot is likely to last many years and offers superb value for money.

Another reason wax is easier to apply is that you can get away with less preparation. Ceramic coatings usually need multistage paint correction and an IPA wipe-down so that you get 12 months or more of protection. This can take a whole day or more. It also requires a number of detailing products. That’s why most people use a detailing professional to apply a ceramic coating. Fusso in Japanese simply means „fluorine”, main ingredient of the fluoropolymer bonding that Fusso utilises (PTFE – polytetrafluoroethylene). It’s the most slippery substance known to science! It prevents friction of mechanical elements, which is why it’s being used in prosthetic limbs or astronaut suits. Due to the extreme slipperiness of the PTFE polymer, covering a frying pan with it requires prior matting of the surface, followed by curing at high temperature (360°C). The biggest challenge was to transfer this process to the world of car caring. Soft99’s experts found a way to bond PTFE to the car’s paintwork by combining various fluoropolymers and substances, so the protective layer can bond with paintwork, glass and even fabrics. Fusso is produced in Japan and is one of the most succesful car care products that they’ve ever produced. It’s imported into the UK the wonderul people at Nippon Shine.

Iron Remover: An iron remover was applied to the wet car and rinsed off after a few minutes. This dissolved any bonded iron particles that may have been on the car from manufacturing or transport. Soft99 Fusso Coat is an excellent paste wax. It lasts a long time and delivers outstanding water beading and protection as good as any ceramic coating. Use a car detailing grade microfibre to wipe of residue, flip towel if necessary in between process. The first problem with ceramic coatings is that they are difficult to apply. To get the claimed long life out of a ceramic coating you’ll need lots of careful preparation. You might also need to do it indoors as applying a ceramic coating on your driveway can be difficult due to weather conditions and dust.Don’t apply Fusso Coat to wax. It doesn’t seem to bond to glass. Soft99 makes a glass sealant for that job called Glaco.
