Fusso Coat 12 Month Wax Light (EU Version) - Car Wax for Light Cars

Soft99 is a Japanese car car care product company which makes one of the best if not the best waxes and sealants for cars. Fusso 12 month is a flourine or PTFE resin based hard paste sealant that does not contain polymers or carnauba wax which is rated for 12 months but realistically more like 8-10 months. It comes in a 200 gram (7 oz) cannister with a foam applicator.Fusso is easy to apply but if left too long it can be difficult to remove. Once the wax hazes to white (5-20 minutes depending on temperature) you wipe it off. The sealant can leave some dusty white residue which is easily removed. Do not apply to any plastic or trim as it will stain it. The paint has to be clean with no oxidation before use. It is recommended that you clay and polish the paint first as Fusso has no cleaners or polish in it.The results are fantastic. The sealant leaves an extremely slick coating which is the most hydrophobic or water repelling surface I have ever seen. Water glides right off the surface of the car. The surface has a nice gloss finish to it. The wax is extremely resistant to chemicals and degreasers as well as bird poop (but it stil can etch the paint if left too long as bird poop is highly acidic)Soft99 also makes the Kiwami Extreme Gloss Wax which can be topped over the Fusso coat. The Kiwami will leave a slightly higher gloss to the surface but does not last as long, about three months.I have tried other various products, such as Turtle Wax Seal n Shine, Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax and Mother's CMX. This sealant outperfroms them all. P&S Bead Maker leaves a slightly higher gloss but is not durable and not as hydrophobic as Fusso. When used properly, Fusso is extremely impressive...

It is the best wax.

Best wax I have ever used. After several weeks water beads just like day one. Only wax I will use from now on

I haven't used it yet, but it seems to be amazI haven't used it yet, but it seems to be amazing.

Fusso Coat is the most durable paste "wax" ever. This is coming from a guy who has used Klasse All In One (acrylic) for decades and expensive stuff like Wolfgang. Fusso Coat sealant gets its slickness and longevity from PTFE (Teflon). It is extremely hydrophobic and stays that way.There are some caveats. You want the original formula not the version that has been formulated for the EU. You will immediately recognise this by the solvent aroma. This is the Japanese and current US version.Apply thin, even coats in small areas at a time. It will buff off easily if you do this. If you over apply it will be more work to remove. Do not use in direct sunlight. Apply only to paint. It will stain plastics and rubber.One of a kind product and worth the extra effort for long time protection, gloss and easy long term maintenance.

I thought I was buying the new version as the picture of the publication but when received the product it was the old version. The old version is ok but a bit hard to remove

Had to apply first thing in the morning thanks to utah heat. But the result is a car that doesnt look like it has 170k miles on it.

this acts like a ceramic coating, it holds up for over a year . DO NOT WAIT TO WIPE OFF!, it becomes very difficult to wipe off if you let it on too long, same thing with humidity. don't do it if its humid out. it makes it nearly impossible to remove.

I had been looking for a better car wax for quite a while, so I ordered this hoping it would be an improvement. After prepping the car, I applied the wax, and I was really impressed. It went on smoothly, buffed off with very little effort, and left a professional-looking finish. I managed to do the whole car in about an hour, and I'm pretty fussy when it comes to detailing. It smells nice as well (is that weird?).I can't comment on the longevity just yet, as I've only just used it, but my first impression is excellent. I'm very happy with the results and would definitely recommend it based on how easy it is to apply and the finish it leaves.

I wanted to wait some time after testing this to leave a review - I love this product, it leaves a great protective coating on paintwork but the proper preparation makes all the difference.Prep:I’ve found for the best results make sure the car is COMPLETELY STRIPPED of any wax, sprays, ceramic coatings etc. You can easily test this by spraying some water on the vehicle and making sure it doesn’t bead off. For an even better finish follow this up with a clay bar, polish and alcohol wipe.Application:Application is straight forward but will take longer than its ceramic spray counterpart. I lightly dampen the sponge and apply a small amount of wax to the foam applicator, spread on the paintwork in a circular motion with light pressure, ensuring the whole panel has a thin even layer. If you apply too much wax to the panel, it will be a difficult to buff-off in the next stage.Removal:Depending on weather conditions, leave it 5-8 mins, once it’s hazed over buff the wax off with a clean microfibre towel and behold the shine!The photo and video speaks for itself, but I’ve used this product for months and the wax still holds up very well. The hydrophobic properties are amazing and the gloss you get beats any Turtle Wax, Meguiars ceramic sprays.The tub will last me years as I don’t imagine I’ll need to reapply this very often at all - fantastic product all around.

I’ve always used a resin polish like Autoglym which to be honest I’ll probably keep using between full details. This wax takes a lot more work and elbow grease.A couple of take aways. Wash the car well and decontaminate any dirt with a clay bar - no matter how well you wash you’ll still pull something away from the surface. A clay bar is quick and easy. I used a kit by Meguires which came with a spray and microfibre cloth.When applying the wax dampen the sponge provided. And apply a LIGHT coat. I made the mistake of applying liberally and boy did I pay the price. It was hard work taking off the extra wax.The whole process of clay bar and wax took me an hour and a half. The shine is noticeable even on a white car. The quality of the product is good, and it seems it goes a long way. I’m sure I’ll have this for a long time (especially as it’s not going to be a weekly operation) coverage is good.At the moment it’s a hose pipe ban and not much rain, so hopefully this will come good and see some nice water beading when the rain does come!

Best wax I have used in 30yearsU stick to what u have always been using year after year ,but technically has moved on leaps and bounds!!! Honestly car shine is better than the day I got it new!!!U won’t be disappointed!!!Rain beads off and after a wash and dry is shining like a dollar 👍🏻.

Won’t be any other wax on this planet. This wax is more durable that some ceramic coatings I have seen, and you can use it on wheels!!!Make sure that you buy the right wax, white is clearly stated for lighter colour paint and lighter coated wheels. And the black tin is for darker colours and darker rims.
