Always like to see boxes on rhe doorstep when ya pull in the driveway! 15% off and free shipping always calls to the `ol credit card.

Figrd I`d give the PA Diver a try in addition to the Miyabi/ISM/Infinity/Overcoat that`s going on the Vette this weekend.

Last year`s WG Uber gone, last months Feynlab Ceramic gone, all set for a little Far East goodness.

If`n ya check the reviews on the Esoteric website for the products ( by KF ), that`s me. Pretty much cut and paste of the reviews I dropped somewhere here on Autopia in a variety of threads.

For the way I work (prep, application, i.e. `Amateur Hour`), climate I live in (NE Ohio), and maint. habits, the Kamikaze stuff is best *for me*. Not to say its `The Best` for everyone because talents and the subjectivity of appearance can vary greatly by individual abilities and preferences.

Have had the Kami combo on a daily driver since October 2016 and its as good as the day I applied it. Self-cleaning is perhaps the top appeal to me and this stuff just always looks good...which means less work for me. Love clean cars but don`t necessarily like cleaning cars...this stuff is very easy to apply and does the job for me.

The Feynlab was good but the Ceramic alone lacked the self-cleaning abilities (in my case/environment/application) of the Kamikaze stuff.

I think the Feynlab Ceramic needs to be combined with Ceramic Lite or their new Top Coat product to improve the hydrophobic properties.

Mostly, though, I think I just got a point where I`ve determined that the Kamikaze is `my coating`. We`ve had it on one of our daily drivers since 10/2016 and our auto usage habits, local environmental conditions and maintenance routines haven`t fazed it one bit since application. It just always looks great to my eye, holds up, protects and keeps itself clean with minimal effort.

I`ve messed around with a pretty fair amount of consumer level coatings in the past few months and have found nothing that gives me the satisfaction and comfort level of the Kamikaze products.

Does that make it the best consumer level coating in all the land? Really can`t answer that because there are so many individual and somewhat subjective variables involved in a statement such as that...but I can say that for ME, yes, it is the best coating in my world. The stuff just plain works.

Additionally, the U.S. vendor has been an invaluable help to me since I first discovered the Kamikaze line, providing advice, technical information and product support to this somewhat occasionally inept hobbyist. Despite the fact that I`m sure they have far more lucrative interests to pursue than what goes on in my little garage in NE Ohio, they have repeatedly gone above and beyond to insure my success with their products. That too, for me, is of great importance.

Another intangible aspect to Kamikaze is that I had the opportunity to meet the inventor of the product line at an event a few months ago and spoke with him for a bit; the enthusiasm and genuine interest he showed in my happiness and success with his creations was infectious and was indicative of being a true enthusiast. While that`s not gonna help protect my paintwork from road salt this coming winter, it just adds a little something to the overall `experience`. Like I mentioned, a lot of what goes into `my` best is subjective...but important.

Since this is all somewhat of a hobby for me, with the added benefit of incredible protection and appearance, at the end of the day it has to be fun too. The whole Kamikaze `experience` has been just too much fun for me to continue to look for the next greatest `thing`...everytime I look at the cars I find some new nuance, smile and am reminded of all of the enjoyment that went into it.

And yes, I probably put way too much thought into It but that`s what hobbies are for, no?

Put it all together and this is what works best for me so I`m just gonna get all our cars wrapped up with it and then just sit back and enjoy its benefits for what I expect to be a pretty long time.
