Times like these I really appreciate the multi-quote feature in vBulletin, (something you don't get with Facebook), and the ability to switch between code view and WYSIWYG view.
Let me take a stab at the below before I start processing pictures from last night's Extreme Makeover.
If by the word TRIM you mean plastic, vinyl or rubber trim?
My answer is I don't know because I didn't spray the wax on any of these types of surfaces and as a normal best practice I don't spray or in any other way apply wax to these surfaces EVEN if the products says it's safe to do so.
I could find someone else's car and purposefully spray this wax on their trim and see what happens but moving forward I would never do this as a practice in the real world.
So this is the Big Thing that Nick was teasing us about? Looks great! And so much easier to use than that
horrible Fuzion paste wax.
Speaking of Fuzion it's been about 6 years since we machine polished this old 2-door Ford and my guess is there's a LOT of new people on this forum that have never seen what Fuzion can do to create that true show car look.
So here's a BLAST FROM THE PAST

Oh yeah...
Blown bad boy...
To get these kinds of results we machine polished this using Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish

I cant wait to get my hands on this stuff. Its true that most spray waxes are very thin and go on mostly clear and basically disappear right away. Seeing this is leaving something behind that requires wiping is different. While I am sure this product is NOTHING like Meguiars NXT Spray wax, it reminds me of it in the sense it left a haze.
As the guy that wrote the original how-to article on how to use NXT Spray Wax and probably the only guy to write any articles on how to use spray waxes, I can assure you this product is nothing like NXT Spray Wax.
It's
VERY WAXY
Anxiously awaiting some real world reviews.
I love Fuzion (paste) and haven't found a spray wax worth my time, yet.
If you're looking for a spray wax that actually acts like
real wax then you'll love this product.
Hey Mike, what are your thoughts about this over Uber Ceramic?
I'm looking for a deeper shine after washing. Thanks for all of your reviews and work here man.
Normally I don't use and don't recommend applying most product to a coated surface because you lose the benefits and features of the coating. For those that might be new to detailing, the way this works is when you apply SOMETHING over the top of your coated paint you now get the benefits and features of the SOMETHING not the coating. The big idea behind applying a coating to your car's paint is to get the benefits and features of the coating. I have articles on this top all over the place but I explain this in my recent article on how to wash a coated car here,
How to wash a coated car - The Gentle Approach for Washing a Car by Mike Phillips
I think I explained this in my review, (the first post in this thread), but regardless, here's the deal.
A spray wax is for paint in EXCELLENT CONDITION. A spray wax is NOT for neglected paint. Makes sense?
For my review - I NEEDED a car with paint in EXCELLENT CONDITION. I used the Mercedes NOT because it was coated but because the paint was in EXCELLENT CONDITION.
NORMALLY I would not apply a spray wax to a coated car.
Question: Did the Wolfgang Fuzion Spray Wax work on the coated paint?
Answer: YES! There's nothing wrong with using a spray wax on a coated car it's just now you get the benefits and features of the wax not the coating UNTIL the wax wears off then you're back to the benefits and features of the coating. This is REAL nitpicking, anal retentive type stuff so don't get too caught up in nothing.
Big picture
Whether you have a waxed car, a car with a synthetic paint sealant or a coating, (the three categories of product you can use to seal and protect the paint), it doesn't matter as this spray wax will work on all these paint protections products.
Mike - how does this compare to Blackfire Midnight Sun spray wax?
It's VERY DIFFERENT.
And for the record, I really like the BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Spray Wax and used it just last weekend at 6:30am in the morning to wax my Silverado before our Cars & Coffee car show. The idea being to make the paint LOOK GREAT!

The BLACKFIRE spray wax is like most spray waxes it's very thin except it actually creates a clear, high gloss finish and as I pointed out in my original review of the BLACKFIRE spray wax it makes the paint VERY SLICK and SLIPPERY, much slicker than the Wolfgang spray wax. But the Wolfgang product is a lot closer to applying a real coat of wax.
To know and understand the differences a person really needs to get both and use them. Here's my review of the BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun spray wax.
Review - NEW BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray Wax!
Curious as to if this can 'replace' the Fuzion paste wax, which will likely open up new users to the 'Fuzion Experience' at a lower price point or is it to supplement/refresh the Fuzion paste application? Or is it a quicker/cheaper road to Fuzion-ville but with less longevity?
If I already have the Fuzion paste, which is delightfully easy and quick to use, would this product be somewhat redundant?
I'd say "no".
I don't think anything can replace Fuzion. This would be a great follow-up to Fuzion but not a replacement.
Great questions everyone, thank you for asking them.
