Fusso Coat vs Kiwami vs King of Gloss | Soft99 Wax Prep, Application and Results
In this video I’ll be comparing three of Soft99’s legendary waxes: Fusso Coat, Kiwami and King of Gloss.
I will be showing the prep process using some Soft99 products to decontaminate and polish the paintwork and then the application process of all three waxes. I’ll also be comparing at the finish, water behaviour and chemical resistance of the products.
The Soft99 products used in this video were sent by the brand for an honest review.
Here is a link to my Instagram where I plan to provide durability updates on the waxes: / autocarehq

KOG is not the show car wax in Soft99 range. Authentic Premium is their show car wax and it's the highest gloss wax in Soft99 range but with 1 month durability only. Kiwami is kind of a successor of KOG. Both are hybrid waxes but the key difference is Kiwami Silver and Black versions use carnauba wax along with synthetic resins. KOG Black uses mineral wax as its base wax. The Kiwami white and KOG white both use mineral wax and come in soft paste form. There's not much difference between the white versions. The difference is between Kiwami Silver, Black and KOG Black. KOG give candy gloss like we see from nail polish. Kiwami Silver, Black give Carnauba's deep warm glow. Also Kiwami is slightly easier to apply than KOG.
Thank you for the video Heather. Soft 99 Fusso Coat's hydrophobicity is unrivalled by any other wax in my humble opinion. The other two though were also mighty impressive before the chemical resistance test. It will be interesting to see how they perform over a period of time.

Thanks for watching! Yep all three were impressive I'm looking forward to using them again but it definitely looks like Fusso is king when it comes to chemical resistance
Interesting. I just bought a tin of fusso, and I was going to apply it soon. You actually reminded me I needed to get a bottle of panel wipe.
Appreciate your review on these Soft99. I use both fusso and kiwami. Fusso has better outstanding durability, but kiwami gives me better shine on my gold car paint.
I find every soft99 wax very similar! KOG seems to really fill and leaves a super rich finish

Very good wax for the money. I use Fusso in the autumn and early Spring, then King of Gloss in the warmer months. I have a deep metallic blue Lexus, and it always comes up lovely.
Thanks for the video. Your presentation is very concise and gives just enough information. Can't wait to see the update on the test panel.
I’ve been using Fusso 99 and the water repellent power is amazing, great value too as you only use a thin layer.
Hi Heather, Another great video as usual. I use Fusso (new version) and think it has made my car slightly darker after you mentioned that in your video
Hi Heather, I have to say that I think you are amazing, your honest and truthful on every product you test. I so wish you were mobile, I would be you first customer. I can no longer drive, but love cleaning my wife's car, and no one gets to clean it, maybe you one day, keep up the fantastic work.

Soft 99 makes some of the best VALUES in detailing products. Very effective products for the price and some of the best waxes across their entire range for a very good price. Their "pure carnauba" wax they have has a high Carnauba content for the price and gives incredible water beading. I love their wash soaps, no scents though :( Their interior quick cleaner called "Wash Mist" is a nice light interior cleaning product for most surfaces inside the vehicle and it smells incredible (like a "fresh & clean" scent. I wish they made that one in liter and gallon sizes. I also use their wash sponges for rinseless and bucket washing and they are very soft and work great for lightly soiled vehicles.

Soft99 is one of those firms who don’t have the cheapest prices and often are expensive to get into; however their products are so good that its worth the outlay. Hopefully this new version of fusso will have the same durability as the old one did.
I have Fusso and Kiwami. Kiwami smells good!! But yea soak the sponge wring the water out and rub wax on it. I would wipe it after applying wax for 3 minutes. I don’t wait the 5-10 mins.

Surprised that the Fusso had the best darkening effect. Read a test somewhere, where the Kiwami easily beat all the other waxes/sealents; Kiwami has the highest content of Carnauba (except for the Authentic Premium, which is pure Carnauba) of all Soft99 waxes.

Fusso Coat is very good, although I have to say that Finish Kare 1000P High-Temp Paste Wax is every bit its equal. I have found these two products to have virtually identical longevity and durability.
Is there a way that is coloured, I have a bright white car, currently use bilt hamber, double wax, but it is so hard to see where you have applied and how much???
Actually For King Of Gloss, Firstly, The Sponge Need To Be Soaked In Water And Then Squeeze Out The Water, Just Let The Sponge In Wet... Then Put The Wax On Sponge, And Ready To Be Apply... Different With Fusso And Kwami, Both Need To Be Apply With Dry Sponge... I Have King Of Gloss And Fusso, But For Kwami, Im Not Trying Yet... Dont Know If Kwami Also Good...

As per instructions from soft 99, the applicator needs to be first first soaked in water, wrong out the excess. I think that applies for all their paste waxes.
Recently subbed I bought fusso 99 for my black gti washed clay bar machine polished used TW black polish with the ceramic in it then applied the fusso it’s Literally only lasted 3months not really impressed with it,think I’ll just stick with my poor boys black wax,great content by the way
Thank you for really test
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.

Well we tape the black plastic parts with painters tape off. Or you you cab prepare/treat the BPP with whatever you take anyway, then the white stuff from the paintjob product will stick never as hard as without. To clean whitish specks away we use an old toothbrush and some soapwater or siliconex alcohol. When that isnt working out we use the BPP shiner and the parts get black. What gives the worst result is clean the BPP with an alcohol then polish the paintjob and get polish onto the BPP then the pores are open for the polish and they take all in! Never use any Aceton on BPP when they are made from ABS you will ruin it 100% Happy shining!
