Wolfgang DGPS vs Soft99 King Of Gloss

Oh yeah...I keep forgetting the locale factor

Follow-Up, 7.5 week

I`m delighted to report that after almost 2 months, WGPGPS and Soft99 KOG are still beading and shedding water and protecting this 9-year-old Beetle.

For Florida heat, on a car left outside 24-7, the Wolfgang beads are as good as I`ve seen after this long.

The water behavior (hydrophobicity) is still good and just about a tie between them, with slightly more shedding with KOG, but better beads with WG.

I`ll keep a close eye out. Hopefully these LSP`s wont just "turn off" suddenly, as I`ve seen before in these tests.



WGDGPS on this side

Thanks Guys, This is some great info. For me, FUSSO products can be smeary for some reason. Also, after applied, any "Quick detail spray " doesn`t seem to remove the smears. I even tried GYEON PREP , which did nothing to help remove the smears. The mess continues to haunt me. Any ideas ??

Finally used my KOG for the first time today. Pretty easy to use. Also, probably the best smelling wax I’ve ever used. Very sweet and lemony.

WaxAddict.... what are the (more)long-term results of the comparison?

Thanks!

Thank you very much for this very detailed test.
In the JDM community here, the King of Gloss is often considered as a short term wax, whereas Fusso is a long protection one.
They are both reasonably priced and sold in supermarkets / car supplies shop like Autobacs.
Besides, we also have the Authentic Premium in gold (export) or red (domestic) package at top of the line:

I have fusso coat on my shelf that I have had good results with. I had to adjust my application methods with it but once dialed in it is a breeze and has awesome hydrophobics.

JJ, the car has been sold, but I can tell you that these two very dissimilar products beaded and protected in similar manners, right up until sometime in October when the car was stored and then sold. In October, I washed the car prior to putting it in unused mode and there definitely was protection there, in the form of fast water shedding and odd-shaped beads.

My take-away is that WGDGPS is the real deal if it can hang with a teflon infused paste sealant.

I also learned last year, while doing wax tests, that the car itself can play a big factor in how long LSP lasts. My old Volvo, also sold at the same time, just ate LSPs for lunch, whereas my girlfriend`s Beetle was happy to keep wax on for a few months. Paint color and condition play some role, but I think metal tickness might play a role.

I have a tin of soft99 King of Gloss in my collection that I`ve had for about 7 years. Maybe time to give it a try??
