    How long do you wait to put on Kamikaze Overcoat?

    I finished putting the Kamikaze miyabi coating on yesterday. I put two coats on and it looks great! The question I had was if I put Kamikaze overcoat on now or do I wait until after the first wash? Or does it not matter?

    Thanks

    I usually wait a few hours or do it the next day/morning.

    Be sure to use sparingly, spritzed into a towel to apply. Lately I`ve been giving the application towel a *very* light mist of water before first applying as if ya overdo Overcoat, can streak a bit.

    Thanks. I did notice the car is still a bit tacky. I dabbed a microfiber towel in 1 tiny tiny area and the fibers from the towel stuck to the car. Is that an issue? Do I get it off now or wait? Would I use overcoat to get it off?

    That`s a new one for me, never experienced that. Is it actually tacky or just grabby?

    Usually shorter nap towels like 350gsm or so work best. If not actually tacky like it`s still wet, start in inconspicuous area with Overcoat...as more product absorbs into towel more evenly, more happiness results. Hood of a black car is not the best place to begin How long do you wait to put on Kamikaze Overcoat?

    Didja happen to coat the door jambs? That`s generally where I start when dabbling with unexpected items.

    Maybe message forum member Mike Lambert...top notch pro (and generally all around nice guy) who used Kamikaze before moving to Modesta.

    Used IGL Kenzo for years. Tried Kamikaze Miyabi topped w/ ISM for first time. Any good alternatives for toppers that aren`t overcoat. Toppers like that are not worth almost $90 in my professional opinion since most ceramic don`t technically even need toppers if applied properly?

    Infinity Wax isn’t worth $90. You could try that.
