Fusso is said to be applied very light. That in turn will make it last*forever*. So for $30, not $50, it seems a worthy purchase.

[@delphinebez3045]

When you have no garage, like me, collinite 845 is the way to go because it can stand a little rain once buffed off. Next I will apply Beadmaker to protect the wax. Super slick paint. I do not mind reapplying a few months later, no hassle at all...

[@williadawilliams]

after watching Bryan from apex and this test, all I will be using is Fusso coat. This is the best protection next to a ceramic IM0. I paid 30.00 for a can of Fusso and its been 2 months with just rinsing once a week and washing once every two weeks. (driven daily, in elements for 8hrs, garage parked)

[@MW-hm9ub]

Hands down, Collinite is the most durable wax I’ve ever used. Apply a couple coats before the winter season and this baby lasts the entire season. Multiple car washes during winter and the beading lasts into April. New England has tough winters and I’d never use anything else. Plus, the gloss is crazy good. And the amount you used for that little section would cover the entire car and then some. A bottle should last you years that’s how little you need.

[@cgrextreme]

Been using Collinite for well over 10 Years, 476 and 845. Will carry on using them

[@sahhull]

Fusso coat is great for longevity 845 gives a nice warm finish to dark colours that Fusso can only dream of.

[@eddiel7033]

Fusso is much more hydrophobic and lasts me 6+ months in the harshest conditions. Before I coated my truck, Fusso was the best protectant I ever used.

[@nathane2243]

depends on where you live

[@martin1649]

coated with what?

[@stevegogo]

For Collinite, you should use 476s instead of 845. 845 is for quick detailing, not the same level that soft99 is. Good test method, by the way.

[@VincentSmith_apk]

Looks more like the difference between paste wax and liquid wax in general? Maybe soft99 v 476 would have been a more fair comparison. I don't have experience with either product, but I would think it would hold up better. Also around the same price gap.

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Dear Jimbo sir. If we dont care about . But the gloss upgrade that those products maybe provide, the warm glow or maybe wet look, from your subjective eyes witch product performed better,or did you liked? Because in video we cannot see the difference with our eyes. Thanks a lot

[@ryanbrown918]

I put 845 in hot water with a spray nozzle on the bottle, then spray it on a foam finishing pad, and apply with a DA. Easy and quick to apply. I understand Fusso is more durable, but I absolutely love the look of 845 topped with Bead Maker. And with the Vette's that hardly ever get driven, the appearance is what im going for over maximum protection.

[@BriggsStratton11]

I hadn't heard of Bead Maker, so I googled it. Is it called P&S Bead Maker? Also, does it add shine to the 845?

Both are good products. In real world use, a person should be happy with either one 👍

[@porkchopper4443]

Fusso offers a level of hydrophobicity that you can't get from anything else except a ceramic coating. It just sheets water exceptionally well. And even in harsher climates it still gives you at least 6 months of protection. On top of that, the tub will last you forever. That's really not bad.

[@AnonYmous-zt6kr]

Does it attract dust like crazy ? Seal and shine is a dust magnet for me

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Hey Jimbo, this test was very interesting as many manufacturers are claiming chemical resistance but your test showed that simply touching the paint can have an impact. Liquid and paste waxes still have their place (e.g. short term show waxes) but protection wise they lag behind ceramic and graphite products. Best wishes from Scotland 👍

[@TechCrazy]

You should compare the Kiwami vs Collinite as both are just wax. Fusso on the other hand just uses wax as a medium to transfer the PTFTE onto the paint.

[@herguth]

There's a new version of 12 months fusso coat (2019), that is said to have easy'er application. Would be cool with a durability and appreciation test of new vs old. Thanks for great content Jimbo👍

[@Dareios4297]

Yeah it's easier to apply but holds onto the beads more than the old one ^^ there was a test done by a german guy side by side

Hi Jim and thanks for your awesome channel. Could you do a comparison between fusso and finish kare hi temp paste wax ?

Wax is far from dead in the car show world. While I use sealants for durability on my daily driver, I want maximum appearance enhancement on my metallic blue weekend toy Z06. Nothing looks as deep, warm, and wet as a carnauba wax finish. 845 is really a hybrid product, so I use that as my base protection. After a day of curing, I add a layer of sacrificial "show wax". Usually Griot's Best Of Show paste or Adam's Buttery Wax. I have yet to find a way to make the blue paint look better.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

How are you meant to deal with the 845 wax after it expires on the car. Do you need to remove it before reapplying? If so how do I remove it?

[@larsdahl6594]

Based on this video (and I find no flaws in it) it looks like I'll be retiring my Collinite 845. Good chemical resistance but zero mechanical. 😕

[@fasst27]

We use 845 on stainless steel handrails on yachts. I think the key benefit is there is a barrier, preventing any hard or salt water from staining the metal. However, I don't use 845 on paint...

[@ericspooner9199]

Dive Another Day I’ve used it on both my cars with great success. It last a long time as long as you maintain your vehicle still. I live in the NE so this will be my first winter using it. I’m going to be putting a new coat of it on my daily driver the next day that’s not below freezing lol.

Para proteção e resistência eu só aplico a Fusso.. Até hj não vi nenhuma ser comparada a ela em termos de resistência!

[@cjcobb7256]

It may have just been the camera angle, but it "looked" like when you applied the Fusso Coat it was a much thinner application on the outside where it really broke down uneven. Like you just ran out of product on the applicator pad. Could just be me though.. Either way, that stuff is amazing and seems to be by far the toughest "wax" out there. I'll be ordering some soon.. Good for people in hotter climates like down in the southeast as Fusso did not break down any when Brian from Apex Detail put a heat gun on it and the Collinite 915 he was comparing it against did.. I've been on the fence about those two, but seems like Fusso coat will hold up much better to heat and South Ga is hot AF!!!!!

[@jdisdetermined]

Oh yeah definitely want to go with a synthetic protection if you're looking for heat and sun durabilty.👍👌 Most any true natural carnauba wax is going to struggle to compete in direct sun and high temperatures.. for *very* obvious reasons. Wax melts.. 😁

[@GetCTOwned]

After being an avid weekend warrior detailer for years, and washing my car every week... I came to the conclusion that after a few maintenance washes, pretty much every product that isn't a professionally applied multi-year ceramic starts to fail. Therefore if you enjoying washing the car regularly you need to get into the mindset that durability of these LSP's just doesn't matter, and start relying on a quick to apply top up LSP every maintenance wash. I like to use traditional paste waxes a couple of times a year, but also use a spray LSP such as Autoglym's Express Wax as a drying aid on every maintenance wash (each week, or 2). That was I always have new protection on the car and the durability of the original paste wax becomes irrelevant. If you wash your car once a month then fantastic, after a simple clean your LSP should still be doing its thing.... But i'd have washed it 4 times by then.

[@dossegundos7145]

Exactly, no need to agitate or touch the paint unless you really want to remove the protection, perhaps just agitate in the last rounds if no changes take place with the water beading. The glove issue is probably grease or oil, it would be interesting to wash it with ph neutral soap to see if the glove sign marked area is still there afterwards.

[@kishleypaolominoza1299]

please do SOFT 99 vs TURTLE WAX SEAL & SHINE torture test. thanks

[@downundergarage6968]

The residue is the left overs from PTFE in soft99. Use mist applicator pad and super thin layer, if you are applying it as you would do a wax you are using too much product. I learned the hard way on darker paints. After few washes it comes out..

[@palleh7742]

I would be interested in how collinite 845 would look on top of fusso coat,like many recommend Menzerna power look with collinite 845.

[@kenlawton1531]

Works well, that's how I've used them in the past, no issues.

[@payitforward6694]

I believe in a paste wax you can controll how thick you apply it better than a spray. A spray is way faster and still provides good protection. The spray will spread better but paste you can control how thick a coat is. That may have some substance to think about could be just me.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I need fast washes, gloss and protection. So I use 845 every like 1-2 months. And for the weekly fast wash I use Sonax bsd as drying ade. Dilute it a bit, to not leave streaks and use a different spray with way better atomisation. Works great so far, but I'l see how it lasts in the winter.

[@SnakeDoctor5104]

It's simple. Your finger rubbed enough of the product in that area to remove/displace the wax in that area on the 845 side. The Fusso Coat is obviously more chemical resistant , even when physically rubbed in.

I've never used a better wax it's incredible and lasts a long time. We get a lot of salt in the winter and the soft 99 just keeps on beading and running off the paintwork.

[@muhammadsuleman2903]

I think when you were using iron remover or APC or any other solution it compromised layer of 845 which did not infuse with clear coat well, like the Fusso did, thus by wiping a finger on panel removed layer of protection. This was more evident when microfibre was used. IMHO it was just a matter of time when 845 would have been completely removed by pressure of water, if you were to continue doing touch less testing. For next time around I would like to see two things: 1) perform the touch less torture test without towel for first two chemicals and introduce MFT on third or forth attempt 2) What I would like to see instead of plain jane controlled section, divide it into multiple sections of different ceramic coatings to observe their tolerance level Thanks and let comparisons keep coming!

[@en1254]

This is not a fair test...Collinite 845 is a wax whereas Fusso Coat Soft 99 is a synthetic paste wax which makes it more of a paint sealant. Pan The Organizer does a good review of Fusso Coat Soft 99.

Fusso is ridiculously hydrophobic. It is a Fluorocarbon type molecule. When they say 12 months, they mean it. I had to remove it with steel wool once and even that was tough. I would practice working with it on a test surface. Because if you don't lay it down the way you liked, you'll probably risk your clearcoat, when you try to remove it.
