From colinite to fusso

[SofTop]

Good place for product comparison is YouTube's Forensic Detailing Channel. Guy does a good job of testing stuff.

Thanks for feedback patriot 66
Don’t think I’m gonna be disappointed with this. I also wax quite regularly. Was thinking of the fusso quick detailer to compliment their wax in between waxing.

I've no doubt the Soft 99 detailers are very good but they are a bit pricey for me at about £12/ 500ml, so I've not tried them.
I've been using Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer for a few years now. It works 'brilliantly' with the Soft 99 waxes, rejuvenating the gloss and boosting the beading. Superb stuff and excellent value at about £7.50/litre if you buy the 5 litre size

What did you find is different between the fusso soft 99 & their kiwami?

Kiwami feels better on and off...

Slightly better gloss,similar longevity.

Another vote for Sonax BSD, cracking product with brilliant lotus effect

I’ll give the kiwami a try in the summer
Thanks true blue

I've been an avid amateur car detailer for years and 476s used to be my go-to wax. I've also used 3 or 4 waxes from Fusso, and found them to be frustratingly difficult to apply evenly, leaving a dark patchiness that was hard to correct.

I'm ashamed to admit that I washed my car for the first time in months at the weekend, and SWMBO's Z4 the weekend before (they were minging!). I've been very impressed with the Turtle Wax Hybrid Soultions Ceramic range, so after a strip wash with snow foam, used their Ceramic wash & wax and dried using the Hybrid Wet Wax. It's great stuff, more durable than 476s, adds great shine and protection and applies to cars in minutes rather than hours.

A lot has changed in the past few years regarding car detailing products. I think traditional hard waxes are in the main, pretty much obsolete these days, and can 100% recommended the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions range.

I use turtle wax ceramic hydrophobic sealant as my top up after wash, great product, I still like to lay down some proper hard wax once or twice a year though

I don't see the point any more. I find the whole process of waxing far too time consuming and results short lived. I've even given up claying the paintwork, in preference of using an iron oxide eating spray like Dragons Blood, prior to snow foaming the vehicle.

That said, I think there's something quite gratifying about cleaning, polishing and waxing a vehicle. But on a white car.... the results are minimal. And on a black car, it looks dirty again as soon as you drive it!

I find it very rewarding to correct the paint on a car with my DAS 6 Pro.... I’m going to start on my E89 soon as it’s a deep colour & Pearl... last 2 where silver, so wasn’t inspired to correct either.

Might try a ceramic sealant this time around.

Here’s a ‘reflection’ photo of my old E86...

Used the fusso a few times since first post , beading is unreal. Not sure about how it applied though, as above, find it difficult not to get patches especially on bonnet.... will I stay? Or go back to colinite 476s ? I won’t know until the summer comes for sure.... I’ll let you know

[Dave 2 dogs]

Should say it’s very smooth too, so only issue is the patches ( I find )

It’s just rained in the work vehicle I did last week with fusso
