Used to be an avid user of fusso but switched to gyeon q2 wax and the water behaviour and gloss is awesome.

Just bought a tub of FUSSO and a tub of MIRROW SHINE through you recommendation Jon👍🏻 Looking forward to polishing and then adding it when I've got time and conditions are favourable.

I literally just bought fusso today at a car show, got home and rewatched your fusso video, then this evening you release this. Are you watching me john?

Hey there, I've been getting fed up of my car looking rubbish after drive through car washes. So I had a look on KZread and came across your channel, wow the amount of knowledge about detailing is mega confusing for a beginner. Your channel has helped me choose some products though and gave me confidence to try it for myself. Ordered a ton of gear from soft99 and will be trying out the claybar, the micro liquid compound and the fusso wax. Fingers crossed I get it right. Thank you for your informative videos and subbed to your channel.

Great to hear.

I love layering waxes like that. I love it! So I have layered it now i put two layers of fusso coat and two layers of the king of gloss and still thinking should I put two layers of Soft99 Smooth Egg Platinum or Soft99 Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier Hand Spray for ultimate gloss and protection and water beating 🤔 I have done now like this that I did put the wax over the whole car at once and then buffed it of so it was on little bit longer than 10 minutes and then I let it harden for 4 hours before putting the second layer and then I waited 24 hours before putting next wax on top of the first one. I can tell it’s looks amazing but I’m still not happy enough before I try a spray wax on top of this. 😅 I was thinking to let it be for two days before adding that just so it’s 100% harden and cured before adding two layers of a third wax

Awww man, i was expecting the gloss meter to compare them. But great video! Much appreciated

Hi mate, as the weather brightening up I think it's finally time to start correcting my merc. Gonna go with koch F6 and P3, which will hopefully be enough for swirls and the odd scratch, there's no deep imperfections. Anyway, I'm not sure what to do for protection. I know ceramics are the best in terms of protection but they don't have that special wax look. Plus I wash the car every week so re application every so often doesn't really bother me. I have a few waxes/sealants but I want something really good that has good durability, good hydrophobic etc. Is there anything you would recommend? I can see myself going for some of these soft99 ones but wondering if there's anything better. Cheers

Another really interesting video John,for me fusso coat is the most durable of waxes , I top it up with king of gloss every couple of months, and after each wash spray some sonax bsd on as a topper!

Is it possible to use this spray to top up the original Fusso wax or in combination with one of these 3 waxes you have compared in this video?

Timely video having just used Fusso coat on my car. I bought some Kiwami extreme a while ago and it gave my pant an amazing gloss and great beading for a short period of time. My paint was really slick to the touch. The lack of durability meant that I relegated it to a summer wax. I also found that it didn’t seem to like Gyeon QD. I decided to try Fusso this year given how everyone raves about it. Same slick paint and impressive beading. I still had some Kiwami left, so I topped up the Fusso with that yesterday. The gloss is now epic, and I’ll top it up again in a few months. The Soft99 waxes do give an awesome slick feel, more so than many other waxes I’ve tried although they are a bit dustier to remove. The beading is good too; I had my car cleaned whilst on holiday last summer after being forced to park near a tree and getting covered in sap. The guy thought it had been ceramic coated because of the beading.

Thanks for the vid. Nowadays what’s the opinion about these waxes vs a ceramic coating? Thanks.

I have done exactly this before. It will work, but it seemed to affect the longevity of the Fusso Coat, so don't expect to get the 12 month claim.

Jon, not picking on Fuso but can you do a test, top coat on its own, base coat and top coat and 3 layer combo if applicable, do your usual gloss, smoothness/slippery test, ‘look/depth of gloss’ test, then the main one, your longevity test… I am fairly certain these base, topper, topper topper are 99% marketing by both the manufacturers and the detailers. Any improvement needs to be very evident as the cost of the extra product and time need to be offset for a real return…. So if layering gives you a noticeable improvement in ‘gloss’ (depth, slipperiness etc) AND 3-6 months more longevity between coats without having to resort to ‘boasters’ on intermediary washes then great, my sceptical side has been proven wrong… but in my experience, I haven’t seen a benefit other than physiological The manufacturer would make a ‘one coat’ to meet the needs of any ardent detailer/owner without the need for ‘layering’ but layering pays… its like having insurance on insurance… madness.

Been using the original fusso for years now, I just tend to top fusso with fusso rather than another wax topper. In my opinion, this might not be correct, but wouldn’t you be hiding the hydrophobic properties of fusso by topping it with a less hydrophobic wax?Let’s face it, fusso is all about the beading for me personally. I love the stuff. Don’t know what everyone else thinks?

in 12 months time you wash car. feel paintwork to see if it has contamintion. If its sat in a garage for 12 months it wont for example. If its been used every day it will. You then clay if necesary. Then polish if necesary and then apply protection. Remember LSP is there to reduce contamination. paint should not feel dry and rough like unprotected paint. aint of the game is to reduce contamination build up over that 12 months so it does not need major paint correction again (because you only have X amount of clearcoat).

Many thanks, John, for the speedy reply. That helps a lot. [LSP = Last Step Protection, which in this case is the Fusso wax covering the factory clearcoat paint, right?] My car sits in a garage overnight, but is used all year round for short trips to the stores, golf club, etc. So there will be some contamination, even if I diligently wash it every two weeks or so. In Canada, we also have to deal with snow, ice and salt on our roads.

yes mate. the contamination tends to build up on the panels behind the wheels and the rear section of the car. but can get everywhere for example if yuou park under a tree and get some sap...

And, if you apply Fusso with a one of these three topper waxes and top up every 2 or 3 months, what do you do after the first 12 months? Does your base coat of Fusso remain intact so you don't need to reapply and you just keep adding the topper wax every 2 or 3 months? Or do you have to wash, decontaminate, prep and start all over again with a coat of Fusso and the topper wax?

Glad that it does not spoil like some other products that have to be used within say a year of first using the product, sadly including TAC Moonlight. You get so much product in a 200 ml bottle of TAC Moonlight that you cannot use it all even if you own two cars and apply it every 6 months. They should offer it in bottles of 75 ml and/or 100 ml.

Mirror shine is amazing but doesn’t last 3 months. Only Fusso lasts longer

Can't help but feel this layering thing is mumbo jumbo, surely the last product applied is the one which take effect. For instance Fusso covered with Seal & Shine, the Turtle Wax product would be the one who's properties are in effect. Sounds like a waste of time and money 🤷🏼‍♂
