Kamikaze Overcoat Sealant

[TroyScherer]

I'm tempted to try the latest version of Kamikaze Overcoat as my primary protection this year. Don't feel like polishing and reapplying Can Coat lol. May just hop over to this. Been using Wet Coat on existing Can Coat so far.

I used Overcoat v1 and v2. Back then the price was better and more reasonable.

At this point I just can’t see paying $100 for 10oz of a spray sealant.

The price is a bit ridiculous.

This has replaced Todd C's all-time favorite, Cosmic Spritz.

It’s a nice product. I feel the V1 I got from BudgetPlan actually had better beading but v5 surpasses it in every other way.

Have you not run outta V1 yet? Didn't I ship that out to you 3 years ago or something like that? That stuff has to be 5 years old by now... :laughing:

Budget do you have any thoughts on the current Kamikaze Overcoat? How would it be as a standalone? Thanks!

The new Over Coat has done *extremely* well for me, have been using it exclusively since early last Fall on my daily-driven Cayman (Winter driver too!).

Cayman has XPEL + Zipang on it, done Spring of 2021. Car didn’t get washed from 12/31/2022 to early March 2023 and OC was still working well; sides of car were grimy from driving, not much can be done about that in Winter but horizontal surfaces remained glossy & beading well, relative to it being ignored for 2+ months. Cleaned up easily when finally washed.

Although I haven’t run as a stand-alone I’d guess that it would work very well with a quick application after a wash every 2 months or so, probably longer, given reasonable maintenance in the interim. Like any LSP, true effective life depends on mileage, climate, maintenance & vehicle usage patterns more than the mere passage of time.

Product description notes ‘anti-fouling’ as opposed to the typical ‘self-cleaning’ and this seems to hold true; the car just doesn’t seem to collect as much persistent dirt since I started using it. It also notes that the formulation has some anti-static properties, dunno if that contributes. End of the day it could have grape jelly in it for all I care, it just works better for me than other things I’ve used; have half bottles of PA Cosmic & High Gloss that I haven’t touched since starting with OC 5 .

Have been using OC since 2016 ( thanks Ronkh :angel: ) and this one, for my needs, really is the best yet by a large margin.

Like anything, effectiveness and ‘goodness’ depends on personal preferences and perceptions so YMMV!

The worst part is you enable the purchase AND then cause the indecision

Welp after reading an 3 year old post you had on autopia about overcoat and pa cosmic, there was soooo much valuable information it in. I decided to stick with my original feeling of lust of trying cosmic spritz.

Just used free shiping and got some free sponge from esoteric. My first ever order from there. Trying the 200ml first.

Im not a topper all the time guy but when i do doll it up for a "night out" im tired of products ive been using streaking on black paint.

Just want to give a thanks to budgetplan1 and coatingsarecrack for the reason i decided to purchase a fancy product haha

This is also why both Autogeek and Autopia forums have SOOOO much information and knowledge banked away to gain from. Both these sites need to stay up for the wealth of years of posts. I still research through old posts all the time.

Roughly 20% left. Use as a drying aid. I haven’t used an LSP in 6 month because I keep planning to polish.

Also I think I may have an LSP problem….
