Wolfgang Fuzion Spray Wax offers extended wax protection that was previously not available in a spray!
I feel I am somewhat responsible for this product. Let me explain, two or three years ago at SEMA, I mentioned to Nick "Nick, Wolfgang needs a spray wax. There is none in the lineup. Maybe a Fuzion spray wax, something that good, but in spray wax form." Nick said great idea. Now of course, all this time later, Nick denies it was me that prompted the development of this product, as it was something they had been working on for a long time. Thats ok, I dont take it personally. I will live in the fantasy Fuzion spray wax came from me
With that said, I was super excited to try this. In general, I am a fan of spray waxes, they do make car care so easy. I have used many of them. Some are more versatile than others. In fact, I was so excited to try this, and so confident this would be a fantastic product, I used it on my garage queen, my 350Z. Please understand, this car is never used as a "test" vehicle for new products. Only tried and true products I know and trust are used on this car. In fact, as far as wax goes, the only waxes to touch the paint of this car have been Fuzion paste, Souveran, and Pinnacle SSII. Thats it! The car lives in the garage and is never driven when there is a threat of rain.
What is interesting, is the only product that was a spray wax that I have ever used that is similar to this in behavior is the horrendous Meguiars NXT Spray wax. Similar in the fact it is sprayed on, dries to a haze, then wiped off. Anyone who ever used NXT Spray wax knows it took an act of congress to remove it.
So on with the review:
Just as Mike Phillips recommended, I "primed" my microfiber with a spritz of the wax before application.
The product is quite thick for a spray wax. It is the thickest spray was Ive ever used. It probably cannot get much thicker before becoming a gel and not sprayable. It is light yellow in color and has a pleasant scent. I could not put my finger on what it smelled like, but its not the same scent as Fuzion paste.
Just as Mike wrote in his review, spray one or two mists per panel, spread, and allow to dry to a haze. This is the hood of my car and where I applied it the heaviest due to the fact the towel had just been misted. I would say what this photo shows, it was to heavy. Less is more with this product like any wax.
I found removing it from the hood was the most difficult of all of the car due to the fact I applied it to heavy. Difficult is definitely a relative term. It took some effort, where as the rest of the car where I applied it much thinner wipe off with no effort at all.
After, the paint was super glossy as if I had applied any high quality paste wax. It was also super slick just the same. Keep in mind I applied this to an already flawless finish and on top of whatever the last wax I had applied (which was at least 6 months ago). I wont be able to comment on durability as this car is never exposed to the elements.
Thoughts, first off, what are the benefits of this wax vs a traditional paste or liquid wax? Well, spray waxes in general are usually easier to apply. However, given this product is probably best to let dry to a haze, the application process is more like a traditional wax. However, applying a spray wax is easier. Vs a traditional wax, I think I spent less time covering my car. Additionally, this wax CAN be used as a drying aid, traditional waxes cannot. And while it is expensive for a spray wax, less is more for sure. A little goes a long way.
I do not think this wax is for everyone. Many people will scoff at the price. And in my opinion, it is probably best to be used on a well maintained finish. However, of all the spray waxes I have used, synthetic, and ones that claim to contain actual carnauba, this is the closest spray wax I have used that acts and feels like a paste wax in sprayable form. And it is definitely one deserving of the Fuzion name!
