Jason Killmer and Andy Ward both use this method and the results speak for themselves. Jason is a heavy hitter with a few Ridler and Pebble Beach awards, so I view his opinion highly. I`m thinking of trying it given the amount of time saving and heat reduction to the panel the method provides.

Yup I really dont have any issue with the method or wanting to learn it by any means. I think we are all about learning and growing here and it makes sense we will see not only advancements in products but also advancements in technique as well.

Budget - Have you used PA master sealant and rapidwaxx yet? If not I am certain you will love the ease of use and looks of the combo. Master Sealant goes on very easy and comes off easy even if you let it sit for an hour. PA recommends two coats 30min apart from each other and then 2 hours to let cure and harden then top it with Rapidwaxx.
Interested to hear your thoughts about Infinity Wax. Yet another one of the Kamikaze products I have wanted to try but Esoteric always seemed to be sold out during a sale and I just want to justify the full price/ quantity you get to myself to purchase it.
Yep, used a few weeks ago and I`m quite enamored with it. It has a very, very nice look AND feel to it. The look it gives the silver paint I used it on keeps bringing the word `luscious` to my mind. It`s kinda a `strawberries and cream` depth and gloss; stuff makes me hungry for some sticky, sweet dessert...I guess that`s part of the `PA Look`. I followed the PA application recommendation as noted above. Chased some rainstorms around the area the day after using it and the self-cleaning and water behavior is coating-like. I dunno if that`s par for the course with sealants as the only other sealant I used was Zaino a few years ago before I became a coating junkie but I really like it and am looking for a darker colored car to use it on. It`s just so easy and fun to use, and the bottle is gonna last for a few cars. The more PA stuff I use, the more intrigued I am by it...ease of use is just off the charts. Have Cosmic V2 on the shelf which I hope to use in the next week or 2. I know the PA stuff ain`t gonna give me massive longevity but the look is quite compelling.
Their Palladium metal polish was delivered yesterday, gave it a quick go on some stainless exhaust tips, the stainless ladders and railings in our pool and the stainless dishwasher in the kitchen. Very easy to use and it gives a softer, more `lustrous` look than the run of the mill, off the shelf mnetal polish I`ve used before. A little goes a loooong way and it seems to clean up the light exhaust staining with much less mess/black residue/effort than other metal polishes I have used.
I started topping our Kamikaze-coated cars with Infinity Wax last summer; it adds a very nice but subtle dimension to the paint, kinda a `relaxed high gloss` that is not too sharp and really shows on body panel transitions. It`ll be interesting to see how it does all on it`s own (topped with Overcoat, of course) on the hood of this truck. I can usually get about 4-5 mid-sized cars outta the little jar. Easy to us, that`s for sure. I think the carnauba in it might decrease the self-cleaning just a tiny bit until you get some Overcoat on top of it.Interested to hear your thoughts about Infinity Wax.

Is Master Sealant a polymer or SIO2 product?
It says Polymer sealant, but also says ceramic gloss.
?

I have no idea why but I really would like to try some of that Zipang Coating. I mean for $300 it has to be good, right? Lol. Coatings are starting to be like those $1000 premium waxes. Just because it costs more it HAS to be good. On the other end of the spectrum I saw some Mr. Fix coating on eBay for $.99 including shipping. I don’t understand how they can make a profit at 99 cents.

Uh $420? I guess I will have to rob my piggy bank or set up a Go Fund Me page.
Miyabi $100 & Zipang $320 for the Zipang-Miyabi-Zipang combo.
For a pro perhaps a tough go given the ambiguity of `limited self healing` and conveying that in a manner that doesn`t set unrealistic expectations for client.
For this hobbyist, the opportunity to have some of the minor annoyances of light swirling possibly remedied is compelling stuff (for me and my sometimes sloppy wash habits and affinity for black paint)
If it proves worthy, I guess it comes down to how much that added possibility is worth...and the entertainment of giving it a go.
