Default Wolfgang Fuzion Review



Wolfgang Fuzion is a $175 premium estate wax made from the same company that makes Pinnacle Souveran. Those of you who are familiar with Souveran should remember that this is the best show wax there is for the money since it produces a "warm glow" on most paints. Then again, it is only a show wax since durability is super short (2 weeks on a garage queen). With Wolfgang Fuzion, durability issues were supposedly addressed, meaning that the looks of Fuzion are greater than Souveran and it lasts longer as well. Now on to the review:

Pros
  • smells of bubble gum
  • super easy to apply
  • super easy to remove (hazed or not)
  • a little goes a long way
  • comes in a wooden box
  • makes the paint much more "wet"
  • has the "warm glow"
  • paint is super slick after removal
  • smells of bubble gum
  • beads very well after removal
  • free refill


Now heres the kicker on this wax...
Cons
  • mutes the flake on the paint
  • smell of bubble gum is slightly overpowering after a while
  • durability issues
  • cheap wooden box
  • cheap container


Durability with this wax is still an issue despite being supposedly addressed when making it. While most users in areas with sun, sun, and sun, will not notice much deterioration, users who live in areas with rain and snow will. The only reason I found out was due to the fact that Southern California was subjected to quite the week of heavy downpour a couple weeks back. It beaded great until the end of the week, where it was pretty much dead. By dead, I mean, no sheeting, barely any beading. That was only 1 week of heavy downpour don't forget. My other cars with months of Dodo Juice Supernatural and Swissvax Concorso are still beading like day 1

To be short, this wax is an upgraded version of Souveran.
If you like Souveran and would like a bit more durability out of it, this is the wax for you. Also, this wax is ideal for people like me who wax every month or so. For those of you who do the wax every 6 months type of deal, avoid


Here are some pictures:










Worthy opponents and recommended alternatives to this wax are Dodo Juice Supernatural 2.0, Swissvax Concorso, and Zymol Glasur/Concours. Thanks to Long for giving me the opportunity to try and review this wax

Sure thing. I figure it'll help some people on their wax choices, but then again, I don't think many people go beyond $100 for waxes so it may not help as much as I thought

Not yet Billy. I've been trying to sample it from a friend to review it but keep forgetting to ask haha. I hear that the slickness is even more so than Fuzion though, so thats a nice benchmark I imposed on it

Of course, if you would like an unbiased review I'd love to review it for you here. I rewax my cars every month unless its a durability test anyway

You can borrow some of mine I got so much stuff from the kit I won from PAC in December, I don't know what to do with it all OK, I have used the Blackfire shampoo a few times but the weather is not exactly conducive to keeping the RX clean right now

Thanks for the great write-up. Your car looks awesome!

One of the best looking waxes I've used. More of my go to wax. Durability isn't bad, but it isn't great either. It'll last slightly longer than average, but if you're used to OTC products, you'll be more than satisfied with the durability. I still get nice beading after 3 months with washes weekly. Hard to beat the look. Prefer it over Fuzion over SuperNatural. SuperNatural seems so hard that it's a pain to apply. Like the review said, it does make the paint look more wet. More so than most other waxes. The wood box sucks, but who cares about the box. Mutes flakes, but most waxes do, especially the ones that produce a wetter look. Sealants are generally used for more of the metallic flake pop since it produces a more flatter reflective sheen. In terms of the smell, I actually like the smell.
