"Soft99" is the company name. They offer a variety of products. Honestly, almost all carnauba waxes are the same to me. So, their "Premium Wax" is like any other Brazilian carnauba. However, you may be referring to their "Fusso Coat", which is really a paste sealant with some carnauba in it. It has been around a long time. It is pretty durable, but honestly, I never found it any more durable or hydrophobic than Collinite 845 (also a sealant/carnauba hybrid). Apart from the "apply it like a carnauba wax" therapeutic factor, I much prefer a good spray sealant, which offers similar durability with a much faster and easier application process.

We have so many US companies making great product that are known to be quality, why not just get one of those before some unknown eBay item? If you look through this section you will find great info and products that work well for many forum members. If your dead set on getting item, an in depth review would greatly be appreciated. Maybe it's awesome?

My purpose is finding a wax with the best longevity. Since moving back to Alaska my truck has to stay outdoors 24/7 and it only gets a full wax twice a year. The wax I inquired about supposedly is one of the longest lasting on the market. Just looking for first hand experience.
I did order Turtle Wax ceramic + graphene paste wax to try.
Still might try the Soft99 wax I asked about as the seller offered a discount once the item went on my watch list.
I used Collinite 845 in the past and it was OK. Just hoping to find something easier to apply/remove and longer lasting.

Then definitely skip any paste product. Literally, a paste wax is the exact opposite of what you are looking for in a paint protection product if you want durability and ease of application. Even the Turtle Wax/Hybrid Solutions Ceramic+Graphene Paste Wax is less durable than the same spray product they offer. Spray products have been proven over and over again to be extremely durable. I have used many on my own vehicles and on customers' vehicles over the past 7-8 years. While I would recommend a true ceramic coating for the best durability and hydrophobicity, I found these spray products to last 6 months on a well-maintained daily driver: 3-4 months if kept outside daily. Even 3-4 months is fine, because reapplying more product is as easy as using a detail spray after a wash.
