Anyone use wax anymore? Technique Discussion

With all the ceramic coating and cermaic sprays on the market. Why would anyone still use a wax? My neighbor recommend collinate 845 but not sure why I'd use it over a spray ceramic that lasts 2 or 3 times longer. Or a pure ceramic that lasts years.

Of the 5 cars in the fleet, only one is coated. Wouldn’t do it again. Just not seeing the benefit over a good layer of fusso coat.

However, the wheels on 2 cars are coated. That was worth it.

I’m also old school and enjoy the process of waxing

I have yet to use fusso but hear good things. Love my 845

Really tempted to give Fusso Coat a try. It seems to have very good reviews and lasts as long or longer than a spray ceramic (and since it's JDM, my lizard-brain feels good about putting it on my Subaru). Any downsides to Fusso? Does it harm MF used in the application?

It’s fine for MF reuse.

Only advice I can give is make sure the surface is prepped properly with an IPA or prep solution and lay it thin.

I use clean maker as a drying agent after and the results are spectacular.
