The Ultimate High-Performance Ceramic Coating for Enthusiasts

Kamikaze Zipang Coat 2.0 is engineered for enthusiasts who want maximum gloss, exceptional hydrophobic performance, and long-term durability, without the stress of an ultra-finicky install. The updated 2.0 formula improves ease of use while pushing performance even further.

Watch: Zipang Coat in Action

Why Zipang Coat 2.0 Stands Out

  • Extreme gloss and clarity with a rich, finished look
  • Strong hydrophobic behavior for easier washing and faster drying
  • Semi self-healing characteristics that can reduce the appearance of light swirls when exposed to heat
  • Forgiving application compared to many ultra-high performance coatings
  • Subtle paint darkening effect, especially on darker colors

ESOTERIC Recommendation

If you want a premium, boutique ceramic coating that delivers a next-level appearance and water behavior, Zipang Coat 2.0 is one of the most impressive consumer coatings available. For those chasing maximum longevity, it pairs exceptionally well with Kamikaze Miyabi as a base layer.

Performance and Layering Notes

  • Durability is rated at 5+ years when layered with Kamikaze Miyabi.
  • Zipang can be used as a standalone coating, or as part of a full Kamikaze system.
  • Expect a richer visual finish, with deeper blacks and enhanced color depth on many paints.

Application Overview

  • Polish and fully decontaminate the paint before coating
  • Apply in thin, even sections
  • Allow a short flash time, then level and wipe off with clean microfiber towels
  • Keep the vehicle dry during initial curing

What’s Included

  • Contents: 30ml
  • Made in Japan by Kamikaze-Collection (est. 2012)

Recommended conditions: 60-75°F, 40-70% humidity.

Prep is critical: wash, decontaminate, and polish before coating.

Apply thin and even. Work small sections and level residue promptly with clean towels.

Keep vehicle dry during initial cure.

Wash with a pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid harsh degreasers and strong alkaline cleaners.

Use safe wash media and quality microfiber towels to reduce marring.

For best long-term performance, maintain regularly with Kamikaze Overcoat or a compatible ceramic maintenance product.

Longevity up to 5+ years is achieved when layered over Kamikaze Miyabi as a base coat.

Avoid water exposure for the first 12-24 hours after application.

Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry location and out of direct sunlight.

Great product! That two cars

"Great product! That two cars I used it on."

— Marvin W. (5/5)

So easy to use and the results are very impressive

"It was time to try Zipang Coat, because I have already applied ISM and Miyabi Coat from Kamikaze Collection on other vehicles. The application was extremely easy and wiping off the residue with the 2-Towel method was a breeze. I did complete a two-stage machine polish and Geon Prep prior to applying on my 2024 Tesla Model 3 and the end result is very impressive."

Miyabi/Zipang combo is the absolute best period!!

"This has been my second time using the Kamikazi Miyabi/ Zipang coat. I did my wife’s Mercedes in 2019 and the car still looks shiny and beads water like crazy. I applied Miyabi/ ism3.0 last year and looked amazing but my truck was stolen in November 2023 and they damaged my pass side door. Was at the body shop and when I got it back, the truck was all swirled up from 1 bad wash from the dealer. My truck is black so it showed swirls and that would have bugged me so I decided to step up to the ultimate costing kamikazi has to offer. I did a light polish, prepped and applied the 2 coatings. The application was a breeze! The is my 4 time applying kamikazi coatings so I know what to expect. The application and removal are by far the easiest compared to some others I’ve used. I’m a diy guy so that is very important to me. The looks are amazing! I’m known in my neighborhood for by the guy with the mirror like truck lol. The truck looks deep in color and looks wet and shiny. I’m in love with kamikazi products. That’s all I use now. My wife is getting a new car in April and I’ll be using this combo again for her ride. I also want to say that the team at Esoteric can’t be beat. They are very helpful with any questions you may have. I’ve called Kurt multiple times about other stuff and he is always there to answer any questions you may have. Their videos are very informative and educational and they don’t mislead the consumer at all. Straight forward is what I like and appreciate. Thanks Esoteric! Thanks kamikazi!"
