Kamikaze Zipang Coat 2.0

Recommended application conditions: 60-75 degrees F,  40-70% Humidity

Layering Options for Zipang Coat

• Good: 1 layer of Zipang Coat
• Better: Base layer of Kamikaze Miyabi Coat, topped with Zipang Coat

Application Instructions

1.    Shake bottle
2.    Apply a small amount of Zipang Coat onto applicator cloth/block…enough for even coverage.
3.    Apply to surface in straight lines only (do not cross-hatch) with a little overlap to ensure a thick, even coverage to the surface.
4.    Using a 2-towel method (one designated for the initial wipe, the second to do the final wipe), gently remove the coating residue using small, circular motions after 3~5 minutes (1-2 panels at a time, look for ‘rainbow effect’). Humidity levels and ambient temperature will have an effect on curing time, so the higher the temperature and humidity, the shorter the amount of time between application and removal.
5.    After applying to the entire vehicle, be sure to look carefully for “high spots”, or darker patches where the coating wasn’t fully removed. Wipe these down right away, otherwise they will require machine polishing to remove if allowed to cure overnight.
6.    Do not allow the vehicle to get wet for at least 24 hours (the longer, the better), and don’t wash vehicle for 1 week.
7.    If using multiple layers as outlined in “layering options”, give 1~2 hours between layers.

1. Wash with a pH Neutral Shampoo such as ESOTERIC pH Neutral Wash Shampoo
2. Occasionally (every 4-6 washes, more frequently if desired) apply a maintenance product such as Kamikaze Over Coat Liquid or Kamikaze Quick Detailer.

Important Notes

• Once the bottle of coating is opened, the curing process begins, even if you put the cap back on tightly. Once opened, you should use the coating within one month's time.
• Please be sure to use all coatings as soon as you can from the time you receive them.
• All coatings have a limited shelf life due to the chemical nature of how they crystallize. Look to use coatings within 4-6 months of receiving them (less if bottle is opened).
• Do not use maintenance products other than Overcoat by KAMIKAZE.
• Only use pH neutral shampoos, with no additives, gloss enhancers, waxes, or polymers.
• Do not use any other types of toppers, coatings, waxes, sealants, no-rinse washes, or quick detailers with Zipang Coat. The looks, performance, and durability will suffer as a result!
• Can be used on both painted surfaces, and plastic trim.
