I thought wax should be applied thinly? ...

I agree.. wax should be applied thinly but evenly naman din. What i see most carwash shops do kasi is like dab just 1 per side and expect it to be evenly spread out to the entire car na. Not generalizing though... i let my constant carwash shop apply my own wax and they really do it properly, even checking every so often if may mga missed spots.

better still, buy your own wax and bring along in your car so everytime magpa wash ka, you can ask them afterwards to apply wax as thick as you like. or you can wax your car at home...

My car hasn't been to a car wash since it was out of the casa. I do the washing myself including polishing and waxing. Reason being is that I don't want my paint to be messed up. Just last week in a mall's open parking where they have newly installed very bright white lights, kitang kita mo talaga ang damage sa paint. Some does look new and shiny from a far and some look dull already but one thing is common -- swirlmarks. Sa carwash kasi, one bucket method lang. Tapos circular motion pa from washing to waxing to buffing. Kaya as much as possible hindi ko talaga ako nagpapa carwash.

Has anyone tried the soft99 fusso wax? Same price with collinite 915.

If the youtube vids are to be believed then this fusso wax behaves like you have just glass/ceramic coated the car because of its hydrophobicity.

Ordered 1 can na. Will test it out sa mga cars namin sa bahay.

i have not use any soft99 products pero ok mga reviews sa mga detailing sites.

i think any wax that has good water repelling properties is good. you can check naman yung beading or sheeting properties niya once you apply it. test mo lang actual durability niya kung ilang washes bago mag-deteriorate para alam mo kung kelan mo ulit i-re-apply. i bought a wax last month na japanese o korean tatak (forgot the name) which i posted here in the previous pages, ok ang hydrophobic properties niya, maganda nung tag-ulan. but this coming summer months, i'm back to my old carnuaba based waxes...

Car detailing is a really addictive hobby. From choosing and buying products to learning the proper techniques, it's really fun!

Wala lang, naalala ko lang because my car needs to be polished again

Already tried this soft99 fusso wax on our van. Then I washed the van yesterday. Impressed with the hydrophobicity of this wax. As in it rolls off the panel lang.

So next step is one of our vehicle naman. Wash, clay, polish with megs m205 (which I am waiting to arrive pa), IPA wipe down then apply this fusso wax ulit. Might do 2 coatings this time.

I also ordered some Gyeon products from the US. Excited to try out this Gyeon Wetcoat. Not sure what's my procedure going to be, but I'm guessing halos the same as above. Wash, clay, polish then IPA wipedown. Then rinse down the car, spray on this Gyeon Wetcoat then blast with strong stream of water. Instant glass coating on your car. Hehe.
