Whats everyones opinion on these products?? They seem very very high end stuff.

I just watched Jim White applying Kamikaze Zipang Gold Nano Coating to a Bentley Brooklands in his latest VLOG. He must rate it.

I layered Kamikaze 'Myabi' and 'ISM' on my SUV and ISM only on my Z4. Kamikaze claim 2 years durability. The sealants are easy to apply but be prepared to discard a couple of microfibre cloths as the product will cure on them in the form of minuscule pieces of glass. Water beading is fantastic and rain just runs of. I also use their 'Overcoat' every 2 months to maintain durability. I use their 'Intenso' window glass sealant which is better than others I have tried. Their Kabuki Detailing Tape is the best out there. It seals well and pulls of easily. They have great products, but are pricey. See attached video for application. Esoteric do videos for all Kamikaze products.

Amazing feedback, i will shortly be the only birmingham based detailer thats certified by kamikaze.... so its really exciting to see the reputation they are building. I cant wait to get my hands on this stuff. Cheers guys.

After being "vetted" and a long conversation with UF they called me and asked if id like to become a kamikaze certified detailer, as with all these companies, you need to fit certain criteria to even get the nod... i will completing the course shortly, was so pleased! The Zipang / enrei is something i really want to hold stock of in the studio to offer as my elite range of coatings. According to UF i will be the only birmingham based certified dealer at present and each area has a limited number of accepted establishments, i feel pretty proud that UF see me as fitting to become a certified Kamikaze detailer.

Congratulations I wish you every success. Make sure you buy plenty pipettes.

Looks like a good range and growing brand. Hopefully on to a winner there.

I will do, im really looking forward to the training of the products, their are a few products available to the general public that look fantastic. The wax is definitely something i will be stocking , the myobi, zipang and enrei ... The overcoat and clear coat filler look fantastic also! i will be adding the wax to my collection also.

My certification is now complete, im able to access the professional line products as a kamikaze certified detailer..... im writing a blog article on it and will link it in my business thread.

After lots and LOTS of testing... These coatings are amazing.... Miyabi is roughly 8-9h hardness rated.... and honestly you should see this stuff when its dry!! it literally hardens like glass... ISM Pro is an impressive product, but zipang and enrei are something else, zipang when layered correctly becomes self levelling and healing with heat, and to see this work before my eyes left me speechless, a gloss and richness that needs to be seen to be believed! Enrei is another notch up but wow is that top layer fussy to apply.... i think zipang gold class will be my go to coating, its not cheap tho

Lastly the infinity wax..... my god... 53% pure carnauba and 39% ceramic coating with a 1-2 year durability..... is something else, gloss that blew my mind and the application and removal on this product has to be seen to be believed in terms of ease of use.. This stuff is like rocket fuel tho, stinks to high heaven!

UF rate these coatings as the best they have used, they stock , sell and use all of the other ones like gtechniq , car pro, nanotech , the lot. Its been a really full on few days, i cant wait to finish the z4 off with a coat of zipang !!

Has the longevity of this been tested? I really like the idea of this! My only concern is this, no point paying out and then having to re-apply more frequently. If that's the case you might as well spend a bit more and just go Zipang or IMS route. Happy for my Zed be a test dummy

according to UF 12-16 months is a very reasonable to expect from this wax unless you really abuse it.... ive just picked up a few pots for the studio and my god..... its like rocket fuel!! its absolutely wonderful to use however, i will report back on longevity!! It has a specific "cure" time however.
