Soft99 Fusso Coat 12 Months Wax – Black

Long-lasting synthetic paint sealant with up to 12 months of hydrophobic protection.

SOFT99 Fusso Coat 12 Months Wax – Black & Dark is a high-performance fully synthetic paint sealant designed specifically for black, dark and other non-white vehicle paintwork. It creates a durable protective layer that delivers exceptional water repellency, a smooth finish and deep gloss while helping protect the paint from the harsh conditions encountered during everyday driving.

Unlike a conventional carnauba wax, Fusso Coat is a synthetic paint sealant formulated with durability as its primary focus. Its fluoropolymer-based formulation is designed to provide long-lasting protection, with SOFT99 stating that the product can deliver up to 12 months of water beading and sheeting when correctly applied and maintained.

The result is a vehicle that is not only highly water-repellent but also easier to maintain, with a smooth, glossy finish and a protective barrier designed to resist environmental contamination.

Designed for Black & Dark-Coloured Vehicles

SOFT99 Fusso Coat 12 Months Wax is available in colour-specific formulations to help achieve the best appearance and performance for different paint colours.

The Black & Dark version is intended for black, dark and non-white vehicle paintwork, while the Light version is designed specifically for white paint.

Choosing the appropriate Fusso Coat formulation for your vehicle's paint colour helps achieve the intended finish and appearance of the product.

Up to 12 Months of Hydrophobic Protection

One of the standout characteristics of Fusso Coat is its exceptional durability.

SOFT99 states that Fusso Coat can provide up to 12 months of water beading and sheeting. This makes it particularly appealing to enthusiasts who want long-lasting paint protection without having to repeatedly reapply a traditional wax every few weeks or months.

Water contacting the treated surface forms tight beads and is encouraged to sheet away from the paintwork. This strong hydrophobic behaviour can also make routine washing easier by helping water and loose contamination separate from the surface.

Important: The stated 12-month durability is a maximum/claimed lifespan. Actual longevity will vary according to climate, vehicle use, washing methods, environmental exposure and maintenance.

Strong Water & Oil Repellency

Fusso Coat produces a highly hydrophobic and oleophobic protective layer over the paintwork.

Once applied and fully polymerised, water is encouraged to form distinct droplets and sheet away from the surface rather than spreading into a continuous film. The formulation is also designed to reduce the adhesion of oily and greasy contamination.

This creates the characteristic tight water beading and rapid water sheeting associated with Fusso Coat while helping to keep the paintwork cleaner between washes.

Protection Against Environmental Contamination

Your vehicle's paintwork is constantly exposed to contaminants and environmental conditions that can degrade its appearance over time.

Fusso Coat's protective layer is designed to help defend against:

• UV light
• Oxidation
• Discolouration
• Acid rain
• Water exposure
• Road grime
• Salt
• Bird droppings
• General dirt and contamination

SOFT99 describes Fusso Coat as weather resistant and anti-fouling, helping prevent contaminants from adhering strongly to the paint and making routine cleaning easier.

Anti-Fouling Properties

One of Fusso Coat's major practical advantages is its resistance to contamination adhesion.

The treated surface is designed to make it more difficult for contaminants such as dirt, salt, bird droppings and traffic grime to adhere strongly to the paint.

Its hydrophobic and oleophobic properties can significantly reduce dirt adhesion, helping make routine washing and maintenance easier.

Loose contamination can often be removed more readily during the normal washing process, reducing the amount of aggressive physical contact required to clean the vehicle.

Note: Fusso Coat does not make paintwork immune to contamination. Bird droppings, insect remains, tree sap and other aggressive contaminants should always be removed as soon as reasonably possible because they can chemically etch automotive paint even when protected.

Deep Gloss & Slick Finish

While durability and protection are the primary strengths of Fusso Coat, the product also leaves behind a smooth, glossy and highly reflective finish.

The synthetic sealant creates a clear, transparent protective layer that enhances the visual appearance of the paintwork while leaving the surface noticeably slick to the touch.

On black and dark-coloured vehicles, this combination of deep gloss, clarity, slickness and strong water repellency can produce an especially impressive finish.

The result is a dark paint surface that looks rich and glossy while gaining a highly durable layer of protection.

Thin Application Is the Key

One of the most important tips when using Fusso Coat is to apply less product, not more.

The product is highly concentrated and extremely economical. A very small amount is sufficient to cover a surprisingly large area.

Applying a thick layer does not provide additional protection and can make the product substantially more difficult to remove. Instead, aim for an extremely thin and even film across the paint.

When applied correctly, the product should be almost invisible as it is spread across the surface. You should not be trying to build up a thick layer of wax.

Work Panel by Panel

SOFT99 recommends working one panel at a time, particularly during warmer weather.

This approach provides better control over drying time and makes the final buffing process significantly easier.

A suitable sequence would be:

1. Bonnet
2. Front guard
3. Front door
4. Rear door
5. Rear guard
6. Roof
7. Tailgate/boot

The exact order is not important – the key is to avoid applying the product over a large area and allowing it to sit for an excessive amount of time before removal.

Allow 24 Hours Before Washing

After the final buff, allow the vehicle to remain undisturbed for at least 24 hours.

SOFT99 recommends avoiding washing during this period to allow the sealant to polymerise and establish its protective properties.

For the best results, keep the vehicle dry and protected from rain or other contamination during the initial curing period wherever practical.

Recommended Preparation

Although Fusso Coat can be applied following a thorough wash and decontamination, the quality of the final result will always depend heavily on the condition of the paint underneath.

For a new or well-maintained vehicle:

Wash → Chemical decontamination → Clay/decontaminate if required → Dry → Apply Fusso Coat.

For older or heavily marked paintwork:

Wash → Decontaminate → Clay → Machine polish/correct if required → Panel wipe/prep → Apply Fusso Coat.

Fusso Coat is a protective sealant, not a paint correction product, so any existing scratches, oxidation, swirls or other defects should ideally be corrected before application if you want the best possible finish.

How Much Product Is Required?

Fusso Coat is exceptionally economical when applied correctly.

The 200g container can provide approximately 30–40 full vehicle applications, depending on vehicle size and application technique. Actual coverage will vary according to the size and configuration of the vehicle and, most importantly, how thinly the product is applied.

For this reason, avoid the temptation to apply a thick layer. A small amount spread extremely thinly is the correct approach.

Fusso Coat for Daily Drivers

Fusso Coat is particularly well suited to vehicles that are regularly exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

It is an excellent choice for:

• Daily drivers
• Family vehicles
• Commuter vehicles
• Vehicles parked outdoors
• Vehicles exposed to Australian sunlight
• Vehicles regularly exposed to rain
• 4WDs and SUVs
• Black and dark-coloured vehicles
• Weekend vehicles where long-term protection is desired
• Vehicles where a traditional ceramic coating is not required

Maintenance After Application

Once Fusso Coat has fully polymerised, maintain the vehicle using a pH-neutral automotive shampoo and safe washing technique.

Regular maintenance washing helps prevent excessive contamination from accumulating on the surface and allows the hydrophobic properties of the sealant to remain at their best.

To maximise the lifespan of the protection, avoid unnecessarily aggressive cleaners or abrasive products unless required for a specific maintenance task.

SOFT99 also recommends using its dedicated Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier quick detailer after washing to help maintain the protective characteristics of the Fusso Coat system.

Important Application Tips

• Use very little product. Thin application is critical.
• Dampen the applicator with water before loading it with Fusso Coat.
• Apply in a thin criss-cross pattern.
• Apply evenly. Avoid heavy or patchy application.
• Work panel by panel.
• Be especially careful in hot weather. Drying times can be reduced significantly.
• Buff with a clean, dry and soft microfibre towel.
• Inspect the panel under good lighting to ensure all residue has been removed.
• Do not wash the vehicle for at least 24 hours.
• Keep the applicator and towels clean.
• Do not apply to hot surfaces or in direct, intense sunlight.

What Makes Fusso Coat Different?

Fusso Coat occupies an interesting position between a conventional wax and a modern coating.

It provides the familiar application method of a traditional hand-applied paste wax, but its primary purpose is long-term synthetic sealant protection.

The fully synthetic fluoropolymer-based formulation is designed around durability, slickness, water repellency and reduced contamination adhesion rather than simply providing a short-term gloss boost.

For enthusiasts who want extremely strong water repellency and long durability without moving to a professionally installed or DIY ceramic coating, Fusso Coat provides a compelling alternative.

The combination of up to 12 months of protection, strong hydrophobic and oleophobic behaviour, anti-fouling properties, UV/weather resistance, deep gloss and exceptional product economy makes Fusso Coat one of SOFT99's most distinctive paint protection products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fusso Coat a wax or a sealant?

Correct application is particularly important with Fusso Coat. The product should be applied extremely thinly. Applying too much product can make removal more difficult and may result in uneven residue.

1. 
   Wash the vehicle thoroughly.
   

   Remove loose dirt and contamination from the vehicle before applying Fusso Coat.

   
   



2. 
   Decontaminate the paintwork.
   

   For best results, thoroughly decontaminate the paint before application. The cleaner and smoother the surface, the better the sealant can contact the paintwork.

   
   



3. 
   Ensure the paint is clean and dry.
   

   Fusso Coat should be applied to properly prepared paintwork.

   
   



4. 
   Dampen the supplied applicator.
   

   Lightly dampen the included application sponge with water before loading it with Fusso Coat.

   
   



5. 
   Take a very small amount of Fusso Coat.
   

   Load only a very thin amount of product onto the applicator sponge. If you pick up too much product, use the edge of the container to remove the excess.

   
   



6. 
   Spread extremely thinly and evenly.
   

   Apply the sealant evenly across the paintwork using light, controlled criss-cross movements. A thin, uniform layer is essential for easy removal and consistent results.

   
   



7. 
   Work panel by panel.
   

   Apply Fusso Coat one panel at a time – for example, bonnet, door, roof, etc. This is particularly important in warmer weather where the product can dry more quickly.

   
   



8. 
   Allow the product to bond.
   

   Allow approximately 2–3 minutes for the surface to dry under typical conditions. In cooler conditions, the product may require slightly longer; in warmer conditions, the drying time can be reduced.

   
   



9. 
   Buff off the residue.
   

   Using a clean, dry and soft microfibre towel, gently remove the dried residue until the surface is clear, glossy and streak-free.

   
   



10. 
    Allow the coating to polymerise.
    

    For best results, do not wash the vehicle for at least 24 hours after application. This allows the Fusso Coat protective layer to polymerise and establish its durability.
