Full Description

The Light tin has a silver grey lid, pictured leaning on the open tin with the yellow applicator sponge inside. The label is the same Japanese design, marked Super Splash. For dark paint there is the Dark version.

If you're looking for a polymer-based sealant that is easy to use and beads water like nothing else, then SOFT99 Water Block Wax is the product for you. It is the most hydrophobic (water-hating) last step product in the SOFT99 range, and produces beads that are exceptionally tall and round (even more so than those produced by Fusso Coat Wax and Fusso Coat F7, which are both revered for their incredible beading behaviour). Soft99 calls it the most water-repellent car wax it makes, with perfectly rounded water drops. Its fully synthetic formula is based on silicon polymers, which make water run off the paintwork straight away and limit the build-up of dirt. It also leaves a glossy, wet-looking finish.

How To Use

Applying

  1. Wash, dry and decontaminate the paint first.

  3. Apply a thin, even layer with a foam applicator.
  4. Work one or two panels at a time.
  5. Leave it to haze for the time on the tin.

Soft99 waxes, sealants and shampoos

Fusso Coat. Fusso Coat 12 Months, in Dark and Light, is made with fluorine resins and waxes and rated by Soft99 for up to 12 months of water repellent protection. Wash and dry the car, apply it thinly, and once it has dried, after 5 to 20 minutes depending on the temperature, wipe it off with a soft dry towel. Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier is the fluoropolymer spray for keeping it topped up, rated at up to 180 days.

Gloss waxes. The Kiwami blends carnauba with synthetic polymers for up to three months of deep gloss, in Black/Dark and Silver/Light. The King of Gloss is a mineral wax and synthetic resin blend for black and dark paint, and Water Block Wax is a strongly water repellent polymer sealant in Dark and Light.

Sprays. Fukupika Spray Strong Type cleans and waxes in one spray and wipe with no drying or re-wiping, using fluorine resin for up to six months of water repellency. Bazooka Rain Drop goes on the wet car after washing and protects paint, glass, plastic and chrome.

Soft99 Glaco glass care and detailing tools

Glaco. Soft99 launched its Glaco glass water repellents in 1991. The roll-on coatings leave the screen repelling rain so it is blown off by the airflow as you drive: Ultra Glaco Roll On in 70ml, Glaco Roll On in 120ml and the 300ml Glaco Roll On MAX, made to mark 30 years of Glaco. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is a 40ml spray for side mirrors that leaves a layer of fine silica crystals. Prepare the glass first with the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On, which uses two abrasives to remove stains, traffic film and old Glaco.

Tools. The Super Water Absorber is a quilted drying cloth; wash it without fabric softener. The Surface Smoother Mini is a 100g clay bar for bonded contamination. The Exterior Brush has synthetic bristles for wheels, grilles and badges, the Interior Detailing Brush natural bristles for vents and dashboards, and the Digloss Kamitore wheel sponge cut-pile microfibre over a durable inner sponge. Keep it all in the Detailing Kuferek Bag, which holds four waxes and four 500ml bottles.
