I was reading on the European forums that KOG isn`t being made anymore. I have no idea if that is true. The newer product is Kiwami which is supposed to be easier to use than either KOG or Fusso. I just got a tin of Kiwami in white, and plan to use it this weekend. I`ll update on it after I give it a go.

Well, IME (awfully extensive with 845 and 476S) Collinite *IS* easy to use. As in, nothing to it whatsover. No, it`s not Souveran-easy, but still...
As with KSG, IMO the ease-of-use all depends on not using too much.
Heh heh, now I`m probably gonna think about trying this stuff just so I can say how easy it is too (JK, JK...)
In Pro Detailer`s Megatest Soft 99 KOG got a score of 73 on gloss and a 72 on hydrophobicity and FK1000p got a 31 on Gloss and a 44 on hydrophobicity. FK 1000k had an ease of use score of 95 while KOG got a 48. Why don`t we in the U.S. have a magazine just for detailers. The Pro Detailer mag comes out quarterly. I bought three of the latest issues from another detailing site.

Those ratings substantiate my observation that KOG ain`t Collinite-easy, and further still from P21S, DoDo, (etc) easy.
Soft99 has tons of waxes - more than anyone I know of, and the choices, combined with the language barrier, make it hard to decide. I picked King of Gloss over Fusso Coat and Kiwami and others based on the Forensic Detailing Channel guy giving it high marks.
I can`t help but wonder about magazine comparisons, but I ought not be all knee-jerk cynical about it
So this stuff has a supposedly *dramatically* better gloss/hydrophobicity that FK1000P? OK, I`m paying attention.
Still wondering about the etching-resistance and durability though...guess I`ll be wondering for a while since FK1000P lasts so long that I basically can`t imagine a test running long enough for something else to beat it.
That`s for sure! And what?...already RMD said that this King of Gloss has been discontinued?Originally Posted by WaxAddict
RMD- I`ll be interested to hear what you think of the Kiwami.
Their ad-copy doesn`t make any of the Soft99 LSPs sound very long-lived to me. I`m not rewaxing with a paste every six-sight months thank you.
One good thing about the Soft99 waxes are their prices for what you get. Looks like you get a FK1000p sized container for around $27 and free shipping. That`s really good compared to most new wax offerings. I was looking at some of their KOG waxes and it come in three flavors, white, dark, and pearl/light. For under $100 you can get all three, not bad.
I too have more wax than I will ever use, but it never stops me from buying more. I`m addicted.
Follow-Up, 1.5 weeks
The Soft99 King Of Gloss has given up some of that awesome hydrophobicity that it demonstrated a day after application, but both products are still working well.
Soft99 is beading a little better than WGDGPS, but other than that, at 1.5 weeks in, the two LSP`s have gotten closer to each other in terms of performance. On this paint, I had a hard time telling them apart appearance-wise.
You can tell here that the water shedding is pretty much the same, whereas the KOG started off much better.
I "washed" the car with just water, with my mitt situated in DI water. Maybe sheeting would be improved after a proper wash with soap. I`ll do that next time.
All for now! Thanks for looking.
99Soft has another "wax" called Metalica that you apply like a wax but you don`t have to wipe it off. A WOWA. Kind of like Opti-Seal in a can. Strange stuff!
Speaking as somebody who sometimes just DI pressure washes his vehicles without doing a proper wash....Gee, I`m surprised there`s *any* dropoff after just 1.5 weeks!
