Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
Thanks for the info. I didn’t see it at Esoteric. Did you buy direct?

Ordered from across the pond, UK vendor.
Dunno if Esoteric got; see Zipang back in stock, maybe new Overcoat came with it.
Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
Saw a spot or 2 with a bit of haze on it a few hours later, easily removed. Too much, too little, not completely buffed off...dunno but it came off fine and easier to deal with than streaking. FWIW.
Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
Thanks Budget. How does the price compare to V 1?

Seems to be the same but since I ordered from UK, not apples to apples. UK vendor pricing is generally a touch higher.
100ml is $50 when previously ordered from Esoteric.

Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
Great information, as always! Thanks for being so helpful - you’re a hell of an enabler!
Question - how can you tell it’s 2.1 via just the bottle? I just bought my second Overcoat last week from Esoteric, and the bottle is absolutely different.
New bottle is on left with tape on it - Silver top instead of black, flashy label.

Budget had posted a photo over in the unboxing thread. The label does indicate version 2.1...

Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
Thanks... Guess it’s just packaging change.
Love this stuff

Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
I wonder if we could get a group buy on Overcoat? I saw that Zipang was back in stock. I couldn’t pull the trigger, yet. It will be out of stock when I decide to buy. Lol
Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
All, if any of you live in Australia you can get Overcoat 2.1 from https://detailcentral.com.au/kamikaze-over-coat-v2-1/
Taking into consideration exchange rate, it would be about 50 USD plus shipping.
Cheers

Re: Kamikaze Overcoat V2.1
Got a chance to run around in light rain/misty conditions yesterday.
Seems that water clears a bit quicker when underway than previous version.
Noticed a couple of small beads of vivid green bug guts moving up and off the hood after striking some kinda bugs on highway yesterday...that was a new one for me.
In light rain this morning, vertical stripes of water/falling water on sides of car are an interesting look.
The gloss/slickness seemed to peak a bit earlier than the 24 or so hours it took previous version to `firm up`; didn`t notice much change with V2 after initial 12-14hrs.
Gloss and slickness definately improved over previous version. The word `thicker` keeps popping into my head when pondering the difference in appearance with regards to gloss between this and original. It seems to be a more `hi def` gloss as well, reflections *seem* a bit more defined.
As far as the spots where I noticed a haze a few hours after application, wiping it off with dry microfiber removed it...and about an hour later it was back. Went over those areas with a bit more V2.1, buffed off and haze returned in an hour or so. Went over those spots with a damp microfiber a few hours later and haze removed for good.
Dunno...will watch this going forward when I use on other 2 cars, maybe this weekend. Minor inconvenience but would like to know why/how that happened.
Misty kinda rain this morning:
