Right, you did “research on detail forums” (don’t know what that proved?) and went off of AutoGeek’s advertisement on how great it is because they’re so reputable. I agree, they are a reputable & successful company, but they’re trying to move product just like every other company. You’d figure they’d try to pump up their high end wax to the max when their profit margin is most likely expotentially greater that all the others they offer. I went to their Detail Fest and can assure you that no vehicle(s) stood out better because it had
Fuzion (or any other LSP) on it. Any possible difference or characteristic most of these exotic waxes give gets washed away after the 1st good wash anyways IMHO.
I’m not saying or assuming that anyone is posting bogus pictures one bit. I’m saying that there are many people here that can edit their pics to bump up the wetness and gloss to turn a scratched up POS into a masterpiece that anyone would ooh and ahh over. Don’t forget when many companies post pictures of great looking cars in their advertisements, they’re created by professional photographers. I know AutoGeek has a team of photographers on hand for their ads (which look great BTW).
Just because a wax is formulated for a 1947 Bentley, 1937 Bugatti, 1930 Duesenberg or even a 1991 F-40 doesn’t mean anything. Wax won’t help a car win Pebble Beach or any other Concourse event. Spending 1000’s of hours prepping the chassis and finishing it off with perfectly true to class paint is what does. Any of those cars could have had the cheapest, most crappiest wax and they would have still won. Car show judges determine the authenticity and how properly preserved a vehicle is and I'll bet they most likely can't distinguish the somewhat insignificant differences what wax was used.
