Just finished up my griots spray on wax this morning. I have been drooling over this wax. I should order it to play around with over the labor day weekend...

I'm an experienced Fuzion user, so here's my question: What advantages are there in having a spray version? Easier to use? Would the 16 oz bottle last longer than the 3 oz Fuzion sampler? My 3 oz sampler of Fuzion is almost gone, so I'm wondering which to buy?

How does this wax behave under temperature? Say when the panels are pushing 150-200F..
Any streaking or oddities like OCW if the weather is above 90F?
I'd like to know the durability but I guess its too early to tell. I do like how it looks on the paint.
I also happen to read you are in AZ so as a fellow Ionian, I am interested in its behavior under high temps.
I usually try and apply a spray wax post wash so the panels are cooler (esp in summer) and typically in the shade than direct sunlight.

Well I usually wait for it to cool down and I always apply in shade vs direct sunlight. Typically in summer when I have to top off, I wash and dry the car first so the water cools down the panels. But you must be aware of the 150+ F panels temps in AZ which is quite normal for summer.
I've had OCW streak once or twice when its way too hot even in the shade.
I typically avoid any kind of car detail stuff other than washing or qd spray in summer.
I guess I'll have to give it a shot to tell how it works for me. I was gonna buy the 1 gal for economy purposes. The $35 for a 16 oz spray wax is pricy.

The directions on the bottle say to spray it to a cool panel. Not sure what happens when you spray to a warm/hot panel other than maybe smearing and not getting good coverage.
I was wondering what the advantages of this were over using Fusion paste wax as well. After using it this weekend, I had a coat of wax sprayed and wiped off in probably 10 min or less. I think it would be a great if you want that extra pop before going to a car show or for maintenance washes after a full detail.

I received my bottle last week and tried it on the roof and sail panels of my '64 Riviera show car. I had applied a coat of Fuzion paste wax this spring after a complete detail of the car, and then another coat of Fuzion paste just a couple of days before the new Fuzion spray wax arrived. I was excited to give the new spray Fuzion a try - especially after seeing Marc's BMW photos at the beginning of this thread.
There was no noticeable improvement or change in appearance on my vehicle (It looked really good already!). Just throwing that out there in case you are considering using FSW as a "topper" for a vehicle that has been freshly waxed with Fuzion paste wax. It may certainly revive the incredible glow of Fuzion paste wax that has potentially degraded after being on a vehicle for a period of time, but in my experience FSW added nothing to my freshly waxed vehicle.
I used Marc's application method and let the FSW haze up for a few minutes before beginning to buff it off. I found it way more difficult to remove than Fuzion paste wax. Needed to buff the paint substantially more than I wanted to in order to get it all off. It is possible that I applied FSW a little heavy (used probably 4-6 total sprays) and/or it is possible that I did not let the wax haze up long either before removal. Certainly did not "melt" into the paint and almost disappear like I am used to with BlackFire Midnight Sun Carnauba Spray Wax or other spray waxes that I have used. Will take a little bit more experimenting with this one to get the proper procedure dialed in.
As a result my initial impression of FSW is just ho-hum. I'm encouraged to try it on a vehicle(s) that do not have Fuzion paste wax on them for their LSP. Many glowing comments about this product so far tells me to keep trying it and not just put it in my detailing cabinet and forget about it...

I kind of had the same experience that you did. I'd say in all fairness it is a fine product and a true, spray wax for sure. The problem is that because of the extra effort required to remove the spray wax, i think I could probably just wax my car with fuzion paste in the same amount of time. Plus, I have more control over the product application and removal that way.

The 4-6 sprays are per panel right? Try reducing it. Directions say 1-2 sprays per panel.
The haze that was left behind was so thin when I used this and it was extremely easy to buff off. I purposely applied it heavy on the black vehicle in my review and yeah it was a little more difficult to remove but it's not hard work.
Can you try working on multiple panels at a time? Like apply it to 4 panels then after, start wiping off the residue in the same sequence you applied it.
How much product did you spray per panel? Like I mentioned above, I didn't have any difficulty removing the wax residue. It was extremely thin so it was easy to buff off.

I would follow the directions on the bottle and use 1-2 sprays per panel. Spread the wax out, then use a second clean, dry microfiber towel to buff to a high gloss.
