They gave me the fusso for free, so I can't complain.

My friend was telling me all the soft99 products are surprisingly good.
Taken from the manufacturer:
  • * Be sure that your car is compatible with this product in advance.
  • 1. Wash off sandy dust and the other unwanted residue, and dry car body before use. If heavily soiled, remove any dirt in advance, because this product does NOT include cleaning capability.
  • 2. Take a moderate amount of the wax onto the included sponge and spread it thinly and evenly.
  • 3. After surface gets dry (5-15 min. in the summer, 15-20 min. in the winter), wipe off with a dry soft clean towel for finish.
  • * We recommend using "Fukupika" series as daily maintenance.
Item indicates no cleaning capability meaning its true last step product. Maybe has dyes in it?

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, and I probably won't have time for a few more weeks.

I use all sorts of stuff, good, better, supposedly better,etc...

But the best thing I do, and it paid off yesterday, is carry two micros and a little bottle of detail/dry wash type fluid in the car.

Frigging sick bird/birds yesterday found my hood! I think they ate something rotten. Normally little stuff I just toss the micro's in the trunk and wash them when I get home, these beauties found the trash can right away...had to keep from gagging.

All the pros uses Collinite 845. It's the wax standard for many.
