Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Car Wax contains real carnauba wax and paint sealant polymers to protect paint. ultimate show car wax, auto wax, paste wax,
Just received my mini serving of Fuzion. So Today I got to test it out. For my tests i used a 1987 BMW 325is painted in Le Mans Blue Metallic. This is one of my personal cars and it has been well taken care of but i decided today that i would really give it a good working.
The Product:
From AG
Introduction:
First impression was good. the product smells great and comes in a nice either glass or heavy duty plastic bin. I got the mini version so mine is different then the full size wooden box experience.
I actually went ahead and weighed the wax and I was given exactly 3.0 oz like AG says.
for my tests i will be comparing this to p21s concours. which i feel is a fair competitor. they are both "Beauty Waxes". surely the P21s is MUCH MUCH cheaper, but thats what comparisons are about.
The wax appears very hard in the container but soon as i rubbed an applicator pad over it i quickly saw it was absorbing it.
The Test and Conclusion:
First I used a yellow pad and Meguiars #105 to cut the hood, there were some stubborn scratches. This easily took care of them. Followed it up with Meguiars #205 on a white pad and then buffed smooth. Then I used a Green pad with Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze and after that a Gray pad with Klasse High Gloss Sealant.
You are probably saying, Jesus. Whats the point of the wax. well i want to put them to the test. Any wax can make a beaten car with dry neglected paint look stunning. this car already looks good. So I decided what better place to test to beauty waxes then on a car that looks great already.
So I let the klasse sit over night on the hood. came back today and buffed it off. let it sit for an hour or so while the garage heated up a bit (to around 60-64 degrees)
Once it was warmer i grabbed my wax (they were stored inside at around 68-73 degrees)
I taped off a center line on the hood and went to work. gently applying the fuzion first.
The Fuzion went on easily, its clearer then the P21s, but it goes on buttery smooth. Also a little product goes a very long way. more so than the P21s which IMO goes a long way.
So I applied that and then went to the other side to apply the P21s. both were applied by hand with Red CCS Hand Applicators. I used brand new MF towels for each side as well.
once i had finished the other side of the hood i went back and buffed off the Fuzion. It removed very easily. I didnt notice i had to turn the towel more often then I needed to with other waxes. Maybe i used a little too much? I dont know.
Anyway moving on, I then buffed off the P21s and stepped back to observe.
They look identical. So why dont we get out some photographic lights and take some color readings. (sorry no pics of this, didnt have my tripod.)
They were both identical. the Pantone Color values i got were the same for each side.
Which was actually expected, this verifies there isn't anything in the waxes that boosts or changes color. or perhaps its in both of them... I used a color munki color calibration system to give me pantone color codes from the paint. the same way i might calibrate a printer.
So I moved on to test some water beading and sheeting.
No discernible difference. They still appear exactly the same.
So I took the car outside, let it run and got some heat under the hood. once the hood reached 95 degrees, I did a few walk arounds to see if i could see any difference between the two. Nope.
I brought it back into the garage and decided that as beauty waxes. meaning longevity/durability is no object. these waxes produce very similar results on this vehicle.
I cannot say that the Fuzion gives any more depth and pop to the paint then the P21s Concours does. Perhaps the Fuzion lasts longer. but it would need to last 2 to 3 times as long as the P21s in order to possibly be justifiable.
The Fuzion is $175 for 8 ounces + 1 free refill for a total of 16 ounces. or $10.93 an ounce
The P21s Concours is $33.99 for 6.4 ounces. or $5.31 an ounce
For three 6.4oz jars of P21s Concours it is around $102. Which would be almost 20 ounces.
Is Fuzion worth it? Unless it lasts for 2-3 months, No.
Fuzion is an awesome product. If you like it and can justify the price tag. GO FOR IT.
I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Fuzion gave noticeable depth and gloss/wet look to the paint. but so did the P21s.
I did not test the durability of these waxes. That may be Fuzion's strong point. I do not know. What I do know is that in the idea of a beauty wax which is what i tested this for. It did not out perform something that by the ounce is half the price.
I tested it as a beauty wax because IMO i would use something like this on a show car.
But in my tests I did not find it any easier to apply or remove then the competitor. Although I will say Fuzion smells 1,000X's better.
All of that said i will be doing the whole car in this tomorrow as well as using it on other colors. I have a white car i can try it on and test durability.
In conclusion if you are looking for a great finish at a great price. try the P21s Concours.
