The clarity and purity of your explanation on the products are second to none you should have a millions subs by now absolutely one of my favourite channels..
Brian Defreitas - Thank you sincerely for your kind words! Much appreciated. Hoping the channel grows over time! We are trying to improve the quality of the videos so hoping this eventually makes a difference! Thank you sincerely once again 🙏🏽👍🏽
This video was A1!
Explanation was super detailed (no pun intended).
Keep em coming! #subbed

great review👍 please don't stop
MAXIMILAN2QAT - Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏽👍🏽
3 years of watching the same old CZcams detainers (nothing wrong w/them). Bought the premium package 5 days ago and you pop up. You do such a great job and thanks.
You also brought up a subject I have never seen before and wanted to: Ive mix and match products quite frequently and recently found polish angel flake mixed in my waterless ECH20 wash is a great combo. Flake has been my favorite contact wash for years and throwing a half oz in my STIH sprayer worked excellent.
I’ve also mixed other detail sprays when I was down to a little in each bottle that worked great together.
Love wove to see more of this.
Another topic that no one covers is toppers and how they react to being…well toppers. It seems that very CZcamsr only want to spray them on bare paint. Hate to open a can of worms! Would love to see how kamikaze Overcoat (example) works with NV EVO or UK 3.0 or other consumer-based coatings.
Rix350 - Firstly thank you sincerely for your kind words! Much appreciated! We try to differentiate ourselves by only showcasing products, techniques, and methods we believe to be the best as opposed to reviewing hundreds of products! Secondly - although SOME products work well mixed together and in some cases performance is increased - this generally should not be the norm! We only showcase mixes we know work well through years of testing and use! We cannot advocate mixing PA Flake with Ech2o. Many reasons but mainly:
Ech2o is designed to be a genuine waterless/rinseless wash which leaves behind a layer of SiO2 - whereas Flake is a standard soap (albeit with additives) which requires pure rinsing! Also Flake leaves behind a layer of carnauba which will work against the SiO2 in Ech2o.
Without rinsing Flake it will leave soap residue behind which will effect the performance of any top coat/detailing spray you apply.
These are not criticisms so please don’t take it that way! Just professional advice!
Rest assured we’ll keep the videos coming - and we plan to feature more videos featuring top coats.

Hi, I use Carpro Reload on my Carpro CQuartz Lite ceramic coating and am very happy with it but seeing your video I got interested in the Myabi overload so I googled it. Wow, there is a V4 version now and it costs 134 EUR for 300 ml ... That is VERY expensive. With that price it must be a whole lot better than Reload and I doubt it is worth such a big price difference.
Ludo A - Honestly! It’s probably not worth the price difference on paper - but once you use it and see the beading, non-dust attracting formula, and great water spot reduction over Reload it may change your mind. But it’s all subjective - everyone has their favourite products! This video will hopefully just give you an honest comparison to help decide what is the best product for you! There’s no doubting that Reload gives awesome gloss, and it’s a product we also love using - especially mixing it to make the magic ‘EliXir’ 😎 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing About the dust, you are absolutely right. Only yesterday I was with my black car driving behind a harvester who was losing hay debris during the ride and when I got home my whole car was covered with the hay particles sticking to the paint.
Cracking vid. Have you tried the Kamikaze v4.1 yet?
Dipash Chauhan - Thank you for your kind words! Yes we have - it has improvements over 3.1 however, not enough that you should rush out and buy it until you have used any 3.1 you may have! If you’ve not already done so please check out the rest of the channel & subscribe 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing already done my lad
Im getting through the last of the v2 . :0)
How durable is KK Overcoat against alkaline soaps? Does beading decrease after applying AutoFoam at 4%PIR?
Hi - When people talk about ‘durability’ they often refer to the hydrophobic & beading characteristics of protection, rather than the protection it provides to your painted surfaces. In essence there are two answers to durability. 1. In terms of protection it will last approximately 1 month if you are using a non-neutral Alkaline wash product 2. In terms of beading and hydrophobics, even a neutral wash product can ‘kill’ the hydrophobics after one wash (as demonstrated in our ceramic coat video). However, just because the hydrophobics are ‘dead’ doesn’t necessarily mean the protection is no longer there! There are different chemicals in protection products that serve different purposes which are affected differently by soaps (again as explained in our ceramic coat video). This is the reason in this video we discuss ‘topping up’ your protection after each wash. So - to directly answer your question the likelihood is that you will see a decrease in beading after using AutoWash. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching and please make sure you check out the rest of the channel. Also check us out on Instagram, and if you’ve not subscribed on CZcams please make sure you do! Thanks 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
Now I know exactly how to use Reload. Based on the videos I had seen earlier from other CZcamsrs, I would've applied it to my wet car, but now I'll know to apply it to my car when it's dry. That's my take away. Question: What do you actually use the detail spray for? I thought that the application would last 6-8 weeks. Thanks again!
Dean Bush - Glad you found the video useful. Watch our ceramic coat video. In this video we demonstrate that although the protective chemicals in good products last some time, it is actually quite easy to kill the ‘hydrophobic’ chemicals within most protective products even when using pH neutral cleaning products 🤭. A detailing spray will not only give you that final finish on your vehicle and layer the protection - but more importantly it will re-invigorate the hydrophobic properties of your protective product of choice 👍🏽
Awesome products, XXX. 30 ml KC overcoat v.3, 15 ml reload & 15 ml carpro elixir. Extrems gloss levels...
Jassi Singh - One of our client only formulas. Agree just awesome hydrophobics and gloss! However - EliXir is effectively Ech2O & ReLoad in a pre-mixed formula. Try using 30ml OverCoat with 10 ml EliXir only! Same killer gloss but without the inherent dust retention of ReLoad! Plus you save on product! 😎🤗 - thanks for watching!

Just came across your video, very well done kudos.
I have been searching various Kamikaze videos as once my Pro coating is done i am strongly leaning at applying myself a coating and going with Miyabi and ISM or CQuartz 3.0 and Gliss. For my current coating i usually use Carpro Elixir or if i want super gloss Autofanatics 007 Gloss Enhancer
Pat L - Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated. Glad you found the video useful. You won’t be disappointed with either selection. If you’ve not already done so please check out the rest of the channel & subscribe! Thanks 👍🏽🙏🏽🚘
@@VProjectUKDetailing Thank you i will for sure subscribe. Have you had the chance to try Kamikaze Anti Aging Shampoo? I am wanting to try it but i have used Carpro Reset for my Ceramic and it is hard to beat
Pat L - Yes we have. To be honest they both serve the same purpose - clean coated surfaces without affecting the coating - so if you’ve got CarPro Reset just use that until it runs out and buy the Kamikaze once you’ve finished and see which you prefer 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing Thank you very much i will do just that then
Can I use either even in a car with ppf? I used Halo as my ceramic coating. What do you think about the C2V3?
Ralph Lauren - Thanks for watching! Yes you can use either on PPF! V3 has progressed but not enough over V2 so use that first and buy V3 once you run out of V2. Hope that helps. If you’ve not already done so please check out the rest of the channel and subscribe 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing I mean how do you compare the Gtechniq C2 with these two (Reload and Over Coat) as a sealant?
Ralph Lauren - We prefer ReLoad & OverCoat over GTechniq C2. Easier to use and longer lasting! 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
Nice :-)
UK 3.0 is better than Miyabi
HeavyProfessor - Both have different advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately they are both world class coatings - one of the main differences is that 3.0 will give you a cool crisp finish, whereas Miyabi gives a warm carnauba type glow so it really depends on individual preference. Thanks.
Hey there, I'm looking to coat my vehicle in either Kamikaze Zipang or Miyabi + ISM 1.0 combo. I'm looking for a drying aid after every wash at the moment. I know what either cosmic spritz or overcoat is the best way to go but it is not very cost effective. I was leaning towards Ech2o diluted 1:10 but Esoteric's description of Zipang says don't use any gloss enhancers, waterless washes etc to maintain the coating. What are your thoughts on using Ech20 on Zipang? Also do you think I could use overcoat and dilute it 1:10 in a 500ml bottle and use that after every wash?
Thanks for your time
Brennan Allen - Thanks for watching. This question would not get the answer it deserves in a reply as there is just TOO much to mention. When you have some time please watch two videos on the channel which go into vast detail in answering your questions - "Should you use a drying aid?", and "Is this what you expect from a ceramic coat?". Everything should be much clearer once you watch these. If you've not already done so please check out the rest of the channel, and subscribe!!! Thanks.
@@VProjectUKDetailing I have watched those videos. As I said I know cosmic spritz or topcoat is the best options they just are not very cost effective and I am looking for something to use after every wash., can both Spritz and Topcoat be diluted 1:10? I know spritz is a thicker consistency.
Brennan Allen - Yes either can be diluted. 1:10 will be fine but if you’re planning on using KC ceramic coats stick to Overcoat as it will give you a similar carnauba glow to to their ceramic coats 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing Thank you I appreciate it.
Am I an idiot for putting PBS Beadmaker on Kamikaze Zipang? I'd been searching for the best sacrificial coating and decided on Beadmaker, but hadn't considered the interaction between it and the existing coating...
@Engineering Works - Firstly thanks for watching. First you need to consider why you opted to use Zipang in the first instance? Was it for the protection?, the looks?, or the hydrophobic properties? Essentially - if it was for the protection only - then no you are not an idiot for using beadmaker. If it was for the looks and/or the hydrophobic properties then layering it with beadmaker is counter-productive as all you've done is cover Zipang with beadmaker so what's the point of having Zipang? Most manufacturers will create sacrificial coatings for two reasons - one is to protect the ceramic coat while it cures and secondly to boost the coating rejuvenating its properties. KC is no different. For Zipang we would recommend Overcoat as you'll be safe in the knowledge that it is compatible. However, if you wanted Zipang for paint protection only then layer it with whatever your sealant of choice is. Then it's just trial and error to see what works well inc. Beadmaker. Hope this helps. Thanks again for watching and if you've not already done so please check out the rest of the channel and subscribe! Thanks ...
@@VProjectUKDetailing Very kind, thank you. Subscribed!
Have you tried the new overcoat 4 (sealant or liquid)?
drtassos - Yes we have. In our opinion it doesn't provide much benefit over v3.1. Maybe slightly more beading and slightly more carnauba glow. If you have residual stock of v3.1 we wouldn't be rushing out to buy v4.0. Hope this helps.
Have you tried Polished Angel Cosmic Spritz, if so how do you think that compares to the two on show here? Also, how effective is the Perfect Polish when used by hand rather than machine, I don't have a DA and looking to use it via hand to strip off the balls'd up nano sealant on my ceramic coat.
Duncan Hankins - Regarding PA Cosmic Spritz please refer to the reply we made to ‘fskof’ below - just saves typing it all out again! ☺️. Perfect Polish will be effective by hand! (But like most products not as effective as use with machine polishers). By hand it’s the chemical cleaners which will do most of the work as opposed to the fine abrasives (although they will still be effective), and by hand should still be enough to strip most waxes, sealants, and ceramic sealants! Thanks for watching 👍🏽🙏🏽👊🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing brilliant, thanks again.
I like using Reload mixed with ECH2o.
How does Reload compare to Gyeon Cure?
gohypo - Absolutely! Pro Detailers have been mixing Reload with Ech2o for years to produce a detailing spray which has killer gloss! Carpro listened and created EliXir which is virtually the same!
Reload and Cure are almost identical. The reason we use Reload is purely so we can mix the above formula.
Thanks for watching. If you’ve not subscribed please make sure you do. Thanks 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing The Magic Elixir; 50ml Reload, 50ml Ech2o and 400 ml demineralized water.
@@VProjectUKDetailing If I were to mix ECH20 with Reload, what should the ratio be? 🤔
Dean Bush - Use 30ml ReLoad + 30 ml Ech2o + 440 ml de-ironised water 👍🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing So at the end would you stick with the Carpro formula of Reload, HYDRO2 and ECH2O mixed together over using OVERCOAT?>
How does Kamikaze compare to Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz?
fskof - Great question! If we were going to a car show we would use PolishAngel Cosmic Spritz. Over and above either CP Reload or KC Over Coat v3.1 it has higher levels of TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) which is what provides the gloss. However, it requires 24-48 hrs of cure time. For daily use it is too expensive and also doesn’t provide that much more gloss than KC Over Coat. We compare it to Over Coat as it also provides the same ‘Carnauba’ type glow that Over Coat provides. However, the main reason we would only use PA Cosmic Spritz as a ‘show’ coat is that it is terrible for water spotting! The whole point of a ceramic sealant is mainly to protect a ceramic coat from water spotting which it doesn’t do very well. Hope this answers your question! Thanks for watching. If you’ve not checked out the rest of the channel please do so, and please make sure to Subscribe. Thanks 👍🏽🙏🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing have you ever tried layering overcoat over spritz? Also, how does v3.0 compare to 3.1 (I have some 3.0).
Duncan Hankins - Layering Over Coat falls into the ‘over detailing’ category! Just use one or the other - they are both designed to serve the same purpose! ☺️. 3.1 has slightly more gloss than 3.0. If you have 3.0 just use that - you won’t notice much difference 👍🏽🚗
I am a detailer specializing in restoring the cosmetic appearance of vehicles. I rely on the type of research and testing that the type of channels like yours do. I never thought that I would ever find a channel that I would rate above Esoteric, Auto detailing car craft, Forensics" and Apex detailing. You mashup the competition. But one piece of advice show your face. From a marketing perspective it's so impersonal and a bit anti-social to communicate with people all the time with your fingers. As much as I admire your production, I can't help to find it a bit offensive. Your channel is crying out for a human face.
ludovic louisdhon - Wow! Firstly “thank you” genuinely for your kind words. The fact you hold us in such high esteem has made us very proud ☺️🙏🏽. Thank you for your recognition. Very much appreciated. When we launched the channel in 2019 we had to make some initial decisions on how we would present the channel. In some of our early videos, (which we hope you agree are gradually improving over time), we received some negative feedback regarding our hand gestures, and ‘finger puppet’ presentation. We listened to the feedback as ultimately we are producing content for you - our detailing family. We acted on this feedback and now try to produce videos with wider views and not just our hands. However, we are trying to balance producing videos of value vs respecting our privacy. It’s a tough balance. Some people reading this may think “well why are you on CZcams if you don’t want to show yourself?”, and again the reason we produce videos is to impart our knowledge & experience to our viewers, and not necessarily for fame (although we do want a popular channel 😂). However - we fully appreciate that people relate to people, and not hands, so we fully understand your constructive comments. All successful enterprises evolve over time - and it’s inevitable that sooner rather than later we will show ourselves, which in turn will allow us to have a much more interactive & fun detailing channel. In the meantime - we hope that viewers such as you appreciate the current format, content, and message our videos try to impart over the current presentation. Once again thank you for your praise, and comments. They have been noted, as they also concur with our feelings. I’m sure you’re already a subscriber - but check us out on Instagram if you’ve not already done so. Thank You 👍🏽🙏🏽.
No need to show their face.
I'm not going to show mine in any upcoming videos either.
@@danlc95 What does one gain talking to your audience with your fingers and blatantly hiding your face?
I rate this channel above all of them; yet as an avid consumer of its content, I can’t help being distracted and turn off by these hands. The real question is why do I feel that way? How many others feel the same way? Cause, with great pain, I consider this channel as the most underrated one in the detailing field.
Surprised you like Reload. Dreadful product.
Adam - We love Reload for the gloss, hydrophobics, self cleaning & beading. Only downsides are it can be a dust magnet, and unless used correctly it will streak. Apart from that we find it’s a good product 🙏🏽👍🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailingwell for a start it's one of the least durable spray sealants on the market, being a dust magnet is unacceptable, but the main one for me is that when it "fails" over a super hydrophobic surface it'll not just quickly wash from the panel to reveal the underlying coating but actually sit there causing the surface to sheet. It's probably the only poor product that CarPro make and how they haven't replaced it I have no clue. A comparable top coat without the inherent problems would be igl premier.
Explain why you think it's a dreadful product!🤔
@@deanbush read above.
@@adblf How fo you feel about Gliss compared to Reload?
