Introducing the latest and greatest and ridiculously overpriced paint protection sealer pack, it’s called the "old faux patina nano-diamond coat ", by a specialist application only and guaranteed to last way less than a few mths of your 5 year guarantee, especially if you try and wash it yourself without using our special car wash shampoo (at nominal cost $$ to you of course)....which seriously is really a neutral ph shampoo (similar to Johnson’s baby neutral ph shampoo) in disguise, after all we don’t want you to wash off our super hardened nano paint protection coating after the first few washes with some over spirited rubbing/washing !!
In order to keep your 5 yr. guarantee, you must also take our 3/6 mth “touch up booster treatment” which is really a re-application process in disguise........(also provided as an additional nominal cost $$$ to you)......to keep your treatment in peak condition !!... sigh.......
Available to the general public and sold by dealers when you purchase your new car who would love to sell you our special “paint protection pack” , just ask one of our protection pack specialist, usually a nubile young leggy sales girls with the best almost exposed breasts you will ever see today who will happily take your money $$$$ for this and other useless protection packs.
Anyway with this paint protection I think the trick must be in their application, possibly a lot of work involved, i think???, but maybe you could achieve a startling similar result at home by lightly sand blasting your vehicle and parking it at the end of a pier/beachside for 6 months to achieve similar results as pictured below:
Guess they didn’t buy the “special shampoo” as directed??
Yes, of the many so called sealer‘s currently on the market, occasionally you will find one that actually does what it is claimed to do without all the hype of endless guarantees/follow up re- treatments, kamikaze appears to be one of those products that actually does what it claims mths after initial treatment.
Ok seriously, back to your question about Kamikaze Over Coat.
At our old custom paint/panel shop my old mate has over the years tested, and is currently beta testing a New Range of sealers, it’s ongoing as new products in Australia and Worldwide are being produced faster than they can be tested anyway. I have seen quite a few of the “results” weeks/month after application and remain unimpressed by most, not yet 100% convinced that these sealers are much better than a top quality wax applied/ reapplied as required, versus initial cost treatment.
On the subject of Kamikaze Over Coat, he has tried this product on one of his personal cars and i must say i was more than impressed with the results, after 3 mths it looks as good as the first day with continuing excellent hydrophobic properties and protection.
Application was easy, using its bottle spray applicator, gives you a really fine mist. Spray it close to surface when applying, don’t try and apply on even a slightly windy day otherwise your product will simply blow away, so indoor application mostly and on a average temp day (hopefully at least try and stay above 26 Celsius) as well.
Product went on nicely, spread quite evenly with medium microfiber, its also capable of filling/covering up light defects as well.
No real hard buffing needed after application as it can leave high spots if overdone, he said the high spots can easily buff out but he found it can be harder to remove if left overnight.
After it was applied it looked like any other freshly waxed car, i was expecting to see a lot more bedazzlement for the price, it was good but cynical me thought typical, no big deal, same ole same ole, was slightly disappointed.
When we looked at the car the following afternoon it looked amazing, like it had a 3D glass gloss look or something, truly dazzling. Checked instructions on various websites (you know the application instructions we never read before we use a similar product!) and they say it apparently takes 16-24hrs to properly harden/dry to a real brilliant gloss finish, which gives you in a sense a deep gloss “Sacrificial layer” above your paint’s top coat.
If that is not enough as bonus this stuff can be used on Glass / paint / plastic trim and on your cars rims as well!
I will remain open minded on the sealers out there, i have been doing this for over 35 yrs and have seen them all come and go (mostly go), still prefer a good quality wax like Hugh-CE said in previous thread, with reapplications as required. But with regards to Kamikaze Over Coat, it remains one of the very few that ,and i hate to say this, from an old school detailer/painter that this stuff actually does seem to do what it claims, only more time will tell, but almost 3 mths on, it’s still looking as good as the first application.
