Soft 99 Fusso Coat - what a wax !
So,just like many of You, I have also get caught in this "japanese wax" hype
![]() After some research and reading opinions, I decided to try Fusso Coat,due to it's estimated longevity and "coating like" characteristics. I opted for Dark version, out of two available version. For the record, car was washed, detarred, clayed. About half of it was polished with finishing polish, other half had only panelwipe wipedown. I couldn't do whole car as I should be done, due to certain health issues I know have. But it's not actually a bad thing, it will get us idea how durability is connected with preparation involved. Let's start with packaging : ![]() ![]() ![]() Very simple and understandable description ![]() ![]() ![]() I must say, I like look of it. There is something catchy in this japanese, radiant writing ![]() Originally, wax comes with plastic top on the tin, where supplied applicator is hidden. Well, let's just say quality of this applicator isn't very good, and I would be rather using it to apply tire dressing, than wax on my paintwork ![]() Also, on thing that made me curious, is piece that says it has minor scratch resistance. Will have to check it in future. Tin itself is quite big, just like ones from Collinite or Finishkare. Applicator easily fits inside, making transfering wax to applicator very easy : ![]() Size - 200g Now two words about number of applications per tin. This is measurement before and after applying two layers on whole car, except both bumpers and lower parts of doors under trim : ![]() ![]() It gives us roughly 1,5g per layer, on a car that only half of it was properly prepped for wax, and applied in rush. If I've done everything properly, than 1g per layer is easily achievable, on compact car like mine. That gives us 200 application per tin. Do maths Yourself, but cost of one application is very,very low ![]() So how is it ? The wax itself is light green, not too hard actually. Maybe it's just mine tin, but wax felt kinda soft, when pushed with applicator. That's why it is so economical, You don't need to swipe applicator on wax, You just need to touch it, and there is enough wax for entire panel. Smell - truth is , it smell awful ![]() Application - like I said, it is very economical, a little goes a very long way. It spread beautifully, allowing to lay very thin layer : ![]() ![]() ![]() Removal - again , easy one here. But it's a bit unusual for paste sealant, as it actually stays oily all the time, even after 20+ minutes. Not a bad thing, it's just different to let's say , Collinite. I've used quality MF to remove it, with no effort at all. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So how does it look ? Very good, how else does it supposed to look on dark car with paint in good condition ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Swirl masking - now that's a bit unusual in wax review, isn't it ? ![]() I had quite a lot holograms from removing snow and claying, here is what Fusso can do with it : ![]() ![]() Not bad for product that isn't AIO , right ? Of course it wont handle deeper scratches, but it's not purpose of this product. However, it can dramatically increase appearance of swirled car, that wasn't machine before. Wet application - what ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Again, not a thing that Your usual wax can do, is it ? ![]() ![]() Water behaviour Let the videos and pictures speak for themselves : ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It doesn't get any better in water behaviour department than this ![]() Conclusion What can I say, I am very pleased of this product, as one can tell judging from the results it gives. Of course, I'm yet to see it's durability or chemical resistance, but I'm sure they will be very good. All in all, very good product, that has this "high engeneering" feel in, You know that it is not simple homebrew, but truly sophisticated product. Waxes like this, that has very reasonable price and do damn good what they are supposed to do, made me abandon highly priced, boutique waxes. That's all , I hope You managed to get through this a bit long review ![]() |

Where can you buy this and what price?
How can you compare sheeting against other waxes like (Finis-wax, Naviwax) or BSD qd? Last edited by sm81; 20-01-2014 at 11:45 AM. |

Great review as always, with you on the dodgy applicator and smell both leave a little to be desired

Interesting results with regards to the swirl masking. That is really incredible for a wax to perform so well and be so cheap!
