Ceramic Coating in a Tin Can
[[VIDEOID:575eb85ad33e140d7e7cdfba32c83395]] This is by far my favorite paint protection product I would recommend on any car as of now! I have tried other products in the past, but nothing has come close to this Soft99 Fusso Coat in terms of protection, longevity, and value for the money. However, there are some tips and information that you will need to know before, during, and after applying this product.<br /><br />Make sure you wash the car by using a strip wash. I used dish soap to remove the previous Soft99 Fusso Coat wax, and it surprisingly held up multiple hits which are quite good. Use an iron remover and clay bar on the car to remove any further decontamination. Dry the car and inspect for any swirl marks, marring, and faded paint. Be sure to do an IPA wipe down before starting the compound and polish if necessary. I did both of these steps to the best of my ability with the tools I had. This process could take up nearly the whole day depending on the condition of the paint. After compounding/polishing the whole entire car, do one more IPA wipe down to remove any polishes and residue left on the paint so it is all fresh.<br /><br />Before applying, be sure to soak the foam applicator and wring it out so it is slightly damp. That way, you will get a better application and use less production. Divide each large panel into sections like half a hood. I would apply the wax to different spots of the section before starting to move the product in a crisscross/cross-hatch pattern. Remember, less is more so twist the applicator a few times in the tin can and wipe off any excess wax in the tin can before starting. Apply a thin layer which is crucial to get the best performance out of this product. You can apply this product to 3-4 sections before having to buff off the first section of the car. Curing time for summer would be 5 minutes maximum and 10 minutes for winter. Ideally, you would want to buff off the wax in the 5-8 minute range. It is better to buff it off a little earlier than it is late because it will be difficult to remove the excess hard wax if left for too long. Be patient and take your time in this step.<br /><br />If you want to, you can apply a second layer on top, but be sure to wait for at least 6 hours to let the first layer cure properly. If you do not have that much time, you can apply it after an hour, but it is highly recommended to wait at least 6 hours for the best results. You can apply as many layers as you want, but make sure to leave at least 6 hours per layer. You can safely use the Fusso Coat Speed and Barrier spray to wipe off any excess wax and boost the protection of the wax without interfering with the curing time of the product. Be sure to not apply any other types of waxes because it can compromise the water repellency of the wax. I recently contacted Soft99 about the usage of these products so be sure to take this information into consideration. You can also apply the wax on headlights, tail lights, and rims as well.<br /><br />After 12 hours of fully curing, it is now safe for your car to be exposed to rain, dirt, and outside elements. One layer of this product should give you around 8-10 months of protection, assuming that you live in an area with relatively stable conditions and do not use the Speed and Barrier spray. With the spray, you may be able to reach around 10-12 months as the company has claimed. I applied 3 layers on my car which should give around 2-3 years of protection on the car which is the equivalent of a cheap ceramic coating. If you do reapply the wax every year, you could get up to 20 applications with one tin can on a mid-size sedan. This product is also extremely chemically resistant so dish soap, brake cleaner, and iron remover will not be a challenge for this product. For the value, it is amazing how this wax can deliver, and I would honestly recommend this product if you just want absolute value for protection that you would find on expensive ceramic coatings. The water beading and water sheeting are equivalent to these professional ceramic coatings. There is no other form of paint protection I would recommend for anyone. Of course, ceramic coatings, and especially graphene coatings will outperform the majority of waxes and paint sealants on the market. However, this wax is by far the best bang for your buck with a good price, exceptional, performance, and great durability that you can find on more expensive products!<br /><br />The black version does have a little bit more fillers for black cars, and the older version has more solvents which does last a little longer. However, it doesn’t matter which ones you get for any color, and the new one probably only lasts like a month shorter but not by that much. Any Fusso Coat wax will work!
