Someone on another forum I visit is asking about it. I have never heard of it. Has anyone here?

Here is an excerpt....

KAMIKAZE is an xtreme "polymer" compound that bonds directly to the car`s painted surface to protect with a highly resistant barrier against oxidation, pollution, intense suns, salt-spray, detergents, tree sap, road tar and many other damaging agents. Its xtreme high gloss finish is so effective and long-lasting it makes waxing obsolete. It`s like pasting glass on the original paint. Beautiful Polymer layer will last about 5 years (based from our test results). Saves detailing time! You`ll lose count of how many washings it takes .

Additional coats may be applied over original application if desired or to protect against extreme environmental conditions. (Wait at least 24 hours between coats) We recommend complete re-application every 12 months. Occasional washing with only water renews original shine. You can also apply wax or polish over this Polymer Sealant.

Best results: Use Suede Microfiber or Chamois when you dry and wipe off. Don`t use Terry Cloth Towels or Microfiber Terry Cloth. We already tested them and they only scratch the car.

you`re on your own, man! I am too scared to try some of this stuff...

I don`t know about this. Sounds a little flaky.

The girls are pretty.

Some here have implied that Crystal Guard and Kamikaze are the same; the CG rep that was posting here acknowledged the relationship but denied the similarity, stating that CG has been reformulated.

Brett, call me tomorrow at work, or stop in.

I wouldn`t trust it, they can`t spell. It`s Extreme, not Xtreme! If you look they make 3 sealants... why 3? Also note how long they claim it lasts.

I know just enough about all this to be dangerous, but if this stuff is so durable, long lasting, and effective.........why will a terrycloth microfiber towel scratch it?

i belive it is the japenese version of crystal guard

I tend to avoid products with the word "xtreme" in the advertising. No thanks I`ll take the normal version...I`m not xtreme enough to handle such an xtreme product

ya know, after looking at this website, I have seen this stuff on eBay. Which doesn`t mean anything really, but I knew I had seen it somewhere.

I don`t know about you guys, but I jump on ebay about 2x a month and type in `car wax` or something there abouts and see what is for sale. Once I found 6 24oz Mist-n-Shines for $11....Retail was $78!!!!! score!
