Soft99 Fusso Coat - Old Vs New - BETTER OR WORSE?

[@bobdidit55]

I tried the new fusso on my garage queen at the beginning of this year. I also put fusso 3 month wax over the top the following day, as I have done with the older 12month fusso. It’s definitely more user friendly than the older product. I took my car out over the weekend and found after 1 wash it doesn’t stand up as well to the elements as the older 12month does. Thankfully I still have the older version left.

[@tharwabuilders]

I use the black, apply under shade and leave for 12hrs.. currently at 2nd month, works really good.. thanks for the video bro

[@johnp6987]

Maybe leaving them for 24hrs after buffing before the torture test so Fusso could bond more with the clear coat would have given better test conditions. I have the previous dark version on my car and with a topper applied around 6 months back is still,performing great.I love the way that any beads from previous rainfall slide up the bonnet before Glaco kicks them of the glass 😄

[@simonkennedy4517]

Yes defo leave for 24hrs

[@ineos23]

I love your opening specs logo . It has vibes of some high production quality game. First class. Your reviews are always informative.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you!

[@johnbrown3951]

I was up your way at the weekend for the Granite City Rally and took in the Tarland show as well as that was where I grew up. A good day of driving day left at 6 a.m. home by 9 p.m and now I get to wash my car again of the mud from the drive through the forest to the car park.

Ah I wish, but thank you!

Great video! And loved the test, Look forward to trying it out.

[@pfmusic1]

Nice comparison here. Thanks Specky! Think I'll pick this up to try. Cheers

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you!

[@cb5806]

good video Specky, I bought a tin of the Kiwami after watching our friend on Obsessive Car Deatiling channel and love it.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yeah he definitely loves his Kiwami, never tried it myself but I may pick up a tin sometime.

[@joaquinlombardi1454]

Very, very, VERY interesting review, Mr. Specky. Kind regards from Mallorca, Spain, great job 👍

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you!

[@Just_Bald_Chris]

Great video and subject - Always a fan of your methodology in tests like these. I'm not a big wax user but when I do then I use this stuff.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Thank you Chris!

[@dhaladetailing1225]

Great test mate, well done! I have both of the old versions and can't tell the difference between dark or light 😅 Like you said, less is more and you get a bloody lot of applications per tin! Highly rate Fusso Coat you can't go wrong 👌 Cheers Stuart

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yep, I don't think anyone would notice a difference with the colours. Epic protection though!

[@decker0373]

Enjoyed that, thank you. I have 3 Soft99 waxes, the Fusso, which i use before winter, mirror shine is great to use for the rest of the year, then there's dark & shine for other peoples cars 😂. All the best 👍.

[@w-j7210]

😄

[@Geeky_detail_reviews]

Great video buddy, I’m a huge fan of Soft99 These waxes always perform. The old version definitely has more longevity in all my testing

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Yep, they've improved the user experience but lost a little of the durability. Strange that the dark wax took a bigger hit than the light though.

[@Mark-yy2vw]

Have always used a very lightly dampened microfiber to remove, comes off a treat

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I buffed with a dry towel but the damp applicator is a must!

[@decker0373]

​@SpeckyMcSporran ooooo interesting, why is a damp microfibre a must?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It seems to ensure a more even coverage which seemed to improve the performance of the waxes.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Specky,a interesting video about the Fusso sealant,to use a damp sponge would probably make it spread better over the paintwork.and the results are amazing, beading is brilliant.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It certainly surprised me!

[@anguslean4058]

It absolutely does When you wet the applicator it keeps the sponge from absorbing the wax Also you have to apply this very thin The thinner the better One can should last between 25-30 applications Also when putting it on very thin it flashes much quicker which speeds up the whole process and avoids high spots and also the problem of removing it. Don’t let this wax sit for ten minutes It will be a nightmare to get off People think you have to put globs of this wax on It’s the exact opposite As for longevity I get between 9-12 months out of it It is hands down the best wax/sealant I have ever used Also when cured ( 24hrs ) you can top it with Fusso King of Gloss or Mirror Shine This adds more gloss and also protects the original coating Those toppers last about 3 months. I haven’t used the new Fusso but I do have 4 cans of the old Fusso. I am set for life.

[@KarlHampson-TCB]

Great video specky. Not used any soft99 waxes yet but it looked easy to apply and that water behaviour was nuts

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It's been a while since I've used it myself, the new version has definitely improved user friendliness.

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Duragloss track claw is fluorine based sealant it’s marketed to make fast 1/4 mile passes which is hilarious

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

That might not be all nonsense, I've seen a product designed for slicker airflow and some car manufacturers have chosen to apply it before handing the car to the customer.

[@DryUrEyesMate]

Its only a new wax for the uk and europe they still sell the original but just not in the uk anymore due to some of the ingredients being banned here in the uk

[@simonkennedy4517]

I got the old one on ebay

[@tmphotography8443]

with the older version I tended to use a microfiber applicator. Nowt fancy , just the type you used to get in Wilkos etc . Its only of those products everyone should try / have . My old cripe was the gloss levels aren't as high as other waxes they do so many would top with King of Gloss or as I had done Kiwami for that gloss punch . Did wonder and the dark n light versions but your only polishing the clear coat so would anything really effect that in any actual way ? Brilliant as always Specky and you have worked out the podcast and video timings to tally finally too 😊

[@pigeonpoo1823]

I think I need to get some GT decon shampoo. Test idea. Apply 9 LSPs on the bonnet. Wait a month, no washes. Assess water behaviour. Clean with GT decon. Which ones survive? Do any? Anyway, always enjoy your videos!

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Interesting idea, cheers! 👍🏻

[@gsmautomotive]

Good video mate - yet to use any of the fusso waxes. Heard good things over the years. Water behaviour looks insane.

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

As I mentioned in the video, you're not likely to get water behaviour like this from most other sealants. Truly epic.

[@thomasconstantinou9701]

For best results work in a sheltered area,damper the pad and don't use too much polish,plus you must let it cure till the next day before washing,it's a great product,good luck everyone 👍

[@mic400uk]

Unsure if you mentioned the smell. I heard they had to remove the naughty chemicals found in the old version, hence the strong smell.thus is why the new version was created. Hang onto an old tin if you have 1!

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I've lost my sense of smell so I can't say for sure 😭

[@annawong1305]

I have the old one and it defo stinks. Tried to wash out and air dry the applicator after use, and i can smell it when i walk into the room, still 😅

[@Theguitarskater1]

I tried some of the new black formula today, unfortunately didn’t go smooth. I’m used to applying ceramic coats and pasty waxes but this feels very different. I applied as little as I could each time, shadow area, still ended up with many high spots! Not easy at all

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Did you dampen the applicator? I find that makes a big difference to keeping a good even coverage.

[@Theguitarskater1]

@@SpeckyMcSporran I appreciate your quick answer! I did not, as the instructions didn’t say so! Do you think it won’t affect it’s performance being in contact with water?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

It shouldn't make any impact as the water can't actually mix with the product without an emulsifier. The water simply helps the wax to spread more evenly without soaking too much into the applicator.

[@Theguitarskater1]

@@SpeckyMcSporran Thank you! Will also try with a microfiber applicator instead of the original that comes inside. Will have another go this following week, thank you!

[@COC785]

Fusso dark is starting to fail on my hood after only 3 months. Claim says 12 months. Must be a bad joke. Did decon wash and came back just a little but still getting weak. Hood was polished clayed and prepped before. Weather has been very hot summer heat and maybe 3 inches of rain in 3 months. Washed weekly with ph neutral soap. I have a whole can left and it's going in the trash.

Cheers Darren! 💗

[@hydror3903]

Hi hope a suggestion , im been using the old one , but its seems after days rain n shine its left a dirty marks n stain on the my white car. It is because im applying it during a day n not under a roof ??

[@peemick]

nice. This is my favourite winter wax due to the durability, and it just about lasts a Scottish winter :) I was going to do a base coat of fusso topped with mirror shine, as I find Fusso can dull the shine one it fully cures. Top Tip, if you dress your plastics and rubber before applying this, it makes it easier to wipe off, if you put any on by mistake, as it can leave a white stain. I've been wondering if its better, or even possible, to apply this by 3 inch machine polisher (wet sponge) to get a thinner layer of product on there? Any thoughts?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Firstly I love the idea of dressing plastics first, makes a lot of sense! Waxing with a DA? I've definitely considered it but never actually tried, maybe something to try on the wife's car 🤣

[@callumchurch3219]

Do you think Sonax use a similar ingredient in bsd to achieve a similar beeding

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I don't think so, BSD has a sticky feel whereas the Fusso (old and new) has a slick feel. Whatever they use, it's crazy hydrophobic but it doesn't have any slickness.

[@callumchurch3219]

True

[@martcoombs9031]

Is there anyway to see the difference in can’s? Between old and new so I know which one I’m getting ?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

As the thumbnail shows, the Fusso Coat label is larger on the new version. Hope that helps.

Can you use this on PPF film?

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

You should be able to use any wax or sealant on PPF film but it's always best to check with the manufacturer of the film just in case.

[@littlejack841]

Would you use soft99 over geyon coatcan

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

I haven't tried can coat yet but I hear good things. If you're not experienced with coating style products then I'd suggest the Soft99 Fusso because it's just like waxing.

[@prodigy6000]

Can it be applied to all surfaces..plastic glass decals??...something nobody talks about in coatings personally, nothing beats Sonax Netshield will out last anything

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Avoid un-painted plastics and glass. Interesting that you say Sonax Polymer Netshield can't be beaten, Sonax claims up to 6 months of protection but Soft99 Fusso claims up to 12 months.

[@prodigy6000]

What products claim and what they do ....used hundreds of products Sonax can be used on any surface and last on every vehicle I've used it on over 12 months. Like everyone else...always looking for a better one...perpetual quest. Very rarely will one work on every surface. If this is not known, it's disastrous.

Please Suggest Can I Go With 1) Meguiar Ultimate Liquid Wax 2) Meguiar Ultimate Paste Wax 3) Turtle Super Hard Shell Wax 4) Turtle Ceramic Graphene 5) Meguiar Mirror Glaze 26 Or is there someone better than these I Have A Lot Of Faith On You. Thanks In Advance

[@SpeckyMcSporran]

Natural waxes are not so good in hot climates so you're better with a ceramic wax or synthetic sealant if you can get one. They also tend to last longer too.

I have 4 brand new cans of the old Fusso I bought them when I heard they were coming out with a new one It is hands down the best It’s true that you have to apply it thin thinner thinnest Allow a full cure ( 24 hours ) You can top this with just about anything Fusso King of Gloss and Fusso Mirror shine were meant to go with this wax / sealant It will give gloss and also protect the Fusso soft 99 It lasts about months You can wash your car every week and a year later it will still bead.

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

Thanks for your review, however this is not the product for me...

[@DjNikGnashers]

Soft99 recommend applying it in straight lines, in a cross hatch style. You applied it in circles. Just saying...

[@kylem8811]

@@DjNikGnashers it don't matter how its applied as long as you get even coverage. Everyone has their own technique. I normally do circles then go into a crosshatch lol

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@kylem8811 Yes I don't think it matters personally, I was just making a comment that Soft99 had those instructions on the tin. I think it's the best wax in it's price range though, I use Fusso as a base coat, and put mirror shine on top for an even better gloss. Then after every wash, I spray on P&S beadmaker, just as a drying aid and topper. Probably overkill, but hey, you try all these different products out and find what works best for you, at the price you can afford I guess. Lots of these detailing product comparison videos make a massive deal about ease of use and price per 100ml or whatever, but in reality, if you're not a professional detailer and just doing it as a hobby on your own car, you're not really restricted by time, you can just potter about doing it all day, and if you're anything like me (and I think most hobby detailers are), they don't mind putting a bit of extra effort in once a week, if it means they have the glossiest, shiniest, and best looking car on their estate, or even in the whole town/city. Ultimately I think that's what all of use none-professional detailers really want, even it it takes a bit longer to do, and costs a little bit more 🙂
