To study the techniques of the professionals, he asked several well-known shoe polishers to show him their work. What they all had in common was that the final step was a finish using water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSince then, he has researched water for his own polishing and for wiping off coatings: hard water, soft water, polishing water with slurry abrasives, and water infused with tourmaline. It's just water, but it's still water. He remembers, in his youth, studying how such a slight difference can decide the quality of the final step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAmong the products we have released in the past are KMKZ ION WATER and KAMIKAZE COLLECTION Polished Crystal Water. It is no exaggeration to say that water determines the final finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Water\" for wax finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFifteen years ago, there were no polymer or ceramic waxes. Most waxes were hard, microfiber was not as advanced, and the more carnauba a wax contained, the heavier it was to wipe off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSo we wiped with a microfiber slightly dampened with water soaked in tourmaline ore. Residual components gathered more smoothly than with a normal wipe, and we could clear streaks from excess product and holograms from volatile components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis product is based on that idea from more than 15 years ago, when the CEO was doing application work with waxes. It is that \"secret finishing\" step, turned into a product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWax and water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWax and water seem like they don't get along, but they actually work well together. With the right microfiber, even difficult hard wax can be wiped off easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor the new second-generation FUJIN and RAIZIN, we looked at how their character had been pushed so far that workability suffered, and asked whether a more modern solution was possible. The texture changes with a quick detailer, and tourmaline water or alkaline water is too strong and affects the wax. This is the idea we arrived at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis product does not have protective or water-repellent properties. It is \"water\" with nano-materials dispersed in it, for the final finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoron nitride\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFirst, we wiped off excess wax with the dispersed boron nitride used in RAIZIN. The wax came off easily and quickly. Hard wax usually feels harder to wipe than regular wax, and we also found that holograms were kept to a minimum. Intentionally created streaks finished cleanly, as if wiped with glass cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe then went on to water-sand polishing and wiped again, and watched the gloss build steadily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen applying RAIZIN, hard wax can be hard to spread and the applicator hard to move. Some people spray water while applying wax to reduce application marks on the paint. Even in hard-wax and wet applications like these, boron nitride uses van der Waals forces to let you apply with less resistance. We felt wax and boron nitride were a good match in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA generous amount of boron nitride\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor this production, dispersion instructions and material distribution were provided by Nanotraction Suzuki. After testing at approximately double the dilution rate suggested by Suzuki-san, our CEO personally believes this is appropriate for wax application. If you feel the application is too thick, please reconsider your choice of microfiber, or dilute with pure water. In principle, dilution of more than twice the amount is sufficient for full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilica water from silica-eluting ceramic ore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSilica in ore generally does not dissolve into water because its crystals bond strongly. By blending silica components with different crystal properties, the silica (silicon) gradually dissolves into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen silica water evaporates, fine crystalline particles remain on the surface. On paint, they settle into tiny irregularities and leave a texture that makes you wonder whether something was applied. Most of our water-based emulsion products use ionized or silica water in this way, but for this final-finish product, the natural ore is placed in the bottle as is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e*When silicon dissolves from the ore, many small bubbles may form inside the bottle.

The first is outstanding workability, even outdoors and under a blazing sun. The second is beautiful water beading, the kind you see when rain or frost settles on a car during a concours.

While drying, the methoxy groups in this ingredient react with moisture in the air and become silanol, forming a siloxane network similar to a hard resin film, like that of MIYABI COAT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe added it to deliver two things at once: the signature KAMIKAZE water behavior, where beads fall straight off without trailing, and a hard finish that lets the paint's natural gloss show through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA NOTE FROM OUR CEO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI'm grateful to say I've been very busy lately.

This time, though, it is the wax used on a car at a Concours d'Elegance in France. I had to build it while fully imagining France's climate and the car it would be applied to (laughs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI tested new materials and additives bit by bit, verifying as I went. In the end, it became what I'd call the true evolution of the kind of wax KAMIKAZE COLLECTION does best, and now we are officially releasing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor the container, I deliberately changed the image from our usual bamboo jar to one machined from solid aluminum. It is finished in gold, our secondary brand color, with a finely detailed leather-pattern engraving. From the moment you pick it up, it should feel unlike any wax you've held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor the fragrance, I went \"budget be damned\" and used a French-made scent. Elegant and layered, reminiscent of a fashion house, it goes beyond the realm of car care wax, or so I personally believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt carries a Japanese name, KIKUSUI LABEL, yet the wax itself has a presence closer to a Western product in design and refinement.
