The Philosophy of Kaizen
Established in 1954 in Osaka, Japan, Soft99 follows the philosophy of Kaizen (continuous improvement). Unlike Western brands that sell "one wax fits all," Soft99 engineers specific chemical formulas for specific paint types.
Why is this critical for Pakistan? Our environment is brutal. The UV Index in Lahore and Karachi bleaches paint. The dust acts like sandpaper. Soft99’s "Hard Wax" formulations create a physical shell that is harder and more heat-resistant than standard liquid waxes.
The 3 Core Textures
- Hard Wax (Solid): Max protection & filling (e.g., Fusso).
- Soft Paste (Hanneri): Max cleaning power (e.g., White Soft).
- Hybrid: Durability + Natural Oils.
Fusso Coat 12 Months
This isn't a wax. This is a Fluorine (PTFE) Shield. It uses the same technology found in non-stick cookware to create a bonded layer that acid rain, bird droppings, and UV rays simply cannot penetrate.
The Base Coat Strategy
Fusso Coat is chemically designed to be a Base Sealant. It bonds directly to the paint. You can apply it once every 6 months for nuclear-grade protection.
The "Stacking" Secret
Want more gloss? You can layer Kiwami or King of Gloss on top of Fusso. As explained in the video, these toppers add "wetness" without stripping the Fusso shield.
Pakistani Durability
While Soft99 claims 12 months, in the harsh Pakistani climate (45°C+ heat), expect a solid 6-8 months of protection. That is still 3x longer than any Carnauba wax.

Which Can is For You?
🚙 "My paint looks dull/yellow."
Buy: White Soft Wax (for white) or Pearl & Metallic. You need cleaners.
🖤 "I want my Black car to look wet."
Buy: Kiwami Black. The darkening oils create depth.
🛡️ "I park outside in the heat."
Buy: Fusso Coat. It’s the only shield against UV and rain.
🕷️ "I have scratches."
Buy: Revolution Scratch. Fills defects instantly.
Professional Application Workflow
- Prep: Wash & Clay Bar. Soft99 waxes bond best to smooth paint.
- The Damp Sponge Rule: For Paste Waxes (Category 1), soak the sponge and wring it out damp. This prevents sticking.
- Whisper Thin: For Fusso/Kiwami, apply a layer so thin it's almost invisible.
- The Finger Test: Swipe your finger after 5-10 mins. If clear, buff off. If smearing, wait.
- Curing: Keep dry for 12-24 hours (Critical for Fusso).
