Quick Review: Fuzion

[sportscarhiatus]

I know there's tons of reviews on Fuzion, but it's a first time use for me, so I thought I'd give my 2 cents anyways. I guess I'm late to the Fuzion party Many thanks to fellow AG members and mods for recommending Fuzion to me. I bought my tub during the big sale last week! rops:

This is just a quick review. My G had a coat of 845 from a few weeks ago, so when I received the Fuzion today, I just used FK425 as a quick detail, then hit it with Fuzion.

First Impressions:
I know it's just a wooden box, but hey, it helps make me feel better about my purchase Wax was a nice pinkish color with a slight fruity scent to it... I can't put my finger on what it is...

Ease of use:
This is definitely the easiest WOWO paste wax I've use. It doesn't leave the finish as slick as a sealant or as good QD like FK, OID, or 4Star spray. I spread it on thin using an MF applicator. I was done with the entire car in about 30 minutes or less.

Overall Look:
I proceeded to pull the car out of the garage to make sure I didn't miss a spot. That's when I was amazed. I thought nothing could top Souveran, but I think Fuzion pushes the envelope a little further. Fuzion's look is a little bit "wetter" and "deeper" IMO. I called the wife out to take a look at it too, and she was skeptical about me spending that much on a wax, but I even got her to say "wow.....that's really nice"

Durability:
TBD... but then again, I don't really care, since it's my garage queen and all I care about is the best "beauty wax" (for those of you who followed my other thread before).

So anyways, here's some quick shots I took with the Nikon. Let me know what you think!Feed back please Thanks again for those of you who recommended (esp killr and Mike P.) Fuzion. Perhaps the next tub I need is Supernatural.

Thanks for sharing! :dblthumb2: Paint looks great! I like Fuzion as well

A very clear and concise review. I enjoyed how you touched briefly on some of the key points and discoveries and the photos are a nice addition.

Your point about "it's you you're satisfying" is an important one. What's best for one may not work for another but as long as you're satisfied is what ultimately counts!

I may just have to place an order for some of this stuff......rops:

WOW the reflection and depth is amazing on your Black G35. Great review on the Fuzion.

Oh np Cee... in fact I think you were one of the folks that recommended it too. I know you helped me out with UPGP. The next thing I have to try is perhaps UPGP as a base, followed by Fuzion... hmmmm

Thank you! Yes, what's important is how each individual is satisfied according to their own standards. But you can always count on "numbers"... meaning if a lot of folks (say 80% for example) claim that a product is good, there's a great chance that it indeed is... Conversely, if 80% of people say a product is bad, I probably wouldn't even touch it with a 10 foot buffer err, I mean pole.

And yes you should get it! I'm a wax addict, so I have to get waxes even though I will never finish them. They were pretty much 1/2 off last week with free shipping!!! Maybe Meghan will be nice and let you get it for last week's price

WOW the reflection and depth is amazing on your Black G35. Great review on the Fuzion.

Thank you sir. I love my 8 year old G... still looks as good, if not better, than the first day I got it. IMO, the best color is black in terms of showcasing depth and wetness. When it's clean and detailed, it pops. But when it's dirty, it also pops....

I really like the first shot. No difference at all in the reflection between the glass and the paint. Nice work!

Looks amazing. Fuzion is an Excellent wax.

 

[Bonifax]

I love the picture with the wooden fuzion box on the hood, very nice reflections, congrats!

 

[loudog2]

Fuzion is a great wax and very easy to use. I'm like you though. It's hard for me to test durability. My cars are garage queens and get waxed every 3 weeks no matter what.

 

[Dubbin1]

Looks good!!! now get some tire shine on them tires

 

[rwright]

Check the paint tomorrow, I believe it will be what you are looking for. I could be wrong though, it happens.

Thank you guys... although Fuzion did give me the deep wet look I haven't seen before in an LSP, I still think I agree with everyone that the prep work is almost 90% (or more) of the look. My car is not 100% swirl free, but I plan to do a full correction next spring.

Much thanks! Believe it or not, it was windy out... I was paranoid about the wind blowing the box over and scratching my paint!

I hear you. I just LOVE waxing or detailing cars in general. It calms me... soothes me... esp after a long hard stressful day/week at the office. What I find ironic is that all us AG'ers work SO hard to make our cars look good, then we turn around and strip the LSP just so we can apply another NEW wax... LOL.

HEY! I've got PB Bold n Bright on them I don't like the extremely glossy Armor-all looking gloss. I like a semi-gloss/matte finish.

Check the paint tomorrow, I believe it will be what you are looking for. I could be wrong though, it happens.

Do you mean it will look BETTER?!?!?!?!? No way.... I will have to do that.

I need to use it again but I thought it was a little slicker the next day. I could be wrong though!

I used Fuzion as a topper over Blackfire Wet Diamond last weekend and I really liked the look (I think more than the first time I tried it).

Car was left looking quite wet.

Yours came out amazing. Great result.

Richard, I went out there this morning and felt the paint with bare hands and with an MF. Definitely felt a bit slicker this morning. Why is that? Is the polymer/sealant portion of Fuzion allowing to set/cure? Looks-wise, it looks as sharp as it did yesterday after final wipe.

Thank you! I haven't tried BFWD yet... I tend to stick with products from AG. Although, I may venture there and with Chemical Guys products... we'll see.

Honestly I can't answer that 100%, maybe someone from Autogeek? In my opinion though I think it's from the polymers cross-linking over time.

Ancient German Polymer Secret !

 

[sportscarhiatus]

If the cross-linking on Fuzion is because of german polymers, then does the same thing happen with WGDGPS or Menzerna Powerlock?

Yep, any polymer based product. That's why you will find many recommendations for a 12 hour cure time. You can speed up the cross-linking process with items such as polycharger and DG polish bonding agent. I wouldn't use either product with a paste wax though because you could carry that product back to the paste wax and ruin it.
