ICHIBAN FINISHING 2.0 (Kamikaze Collection)

40.00

Ichiban Finishing 2.0 is a refined, ultra-fine ceramic polishing compound crafted to gently remove micro-swirls, haze, and polish marks left by heavier compounds. With diminishing alumina abrasives and a low-dust formula, it delivers maximum gloss—especially tailored for softer paint finishes often found on Japanese-made vehicles.

Application procedure

Prep Surface: Wash, dry, and wipe down with IPA or panel wipe to ensure a contaminant-free finish.
Apply Product: Dispense just a few drops—about half a grain-of-rice size—onto a Black Finishing pad or red foam pad for best results.
Polish Section by Section: Work small (~60×60 cm / 2×2 ft) areas at a time.
Use Straight, Overlapping Passes Only: No swirl or cross‑hatch strokes. Keep pad flat with consistent light pressure.
Speed Settings: Use medium speed for finishing polish—adjust depending on paint softness.
Inspect Often Under Bright Light: Stop when micro-defects and haze clear and a hydrophilic surface (water attraction) begins after rinsing—this indicates proper finish level.
Final Wipe: Lightly wipe off residue with a clean microfiber towel. No sealing or degreasing needed afterward—surface should feel slick and ready for coating or protection.
