I love Fuzion paste wax. Easier for me to use than most liquids and with better looking results. (I was a Collinite 845 user for years) I have also used Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, and their tire gel, but not many other WG products. Nothing special or problematic about either, but Fuzion has a unique glow, ridiculously easy to use and decent longevity.. And it gets even better when finished off with Pinnacle Crystal Mist detail spray

It was clean for 5 minutes last week. Then covered in dust. It's not worth trying too hard

I swear it’s been getting glossier by the day. It’s only been a week so far. Will update after first wash with some beading pics.

I’m a big fan of them, personally. Tough to beat imo. The Fuzion paste wax is excellent, as is their sealant and interior cleaner/protectant products. Never had anything but great experiences with the whole line. Can’t go wrong.
