ICHIBAN FINISHING 2.0 -光輝-
Final-finish polishing compound

More beautiful, and a step further up the range.

It is an ultra-fine alumina compound with a very wide range, designed to recover as much as possible of the fine marks left by initial and intermediate wool polishing, and to bring the finish as far up as it can go. We built this final-finish compound from scratch for high-end detailers around the world.

It is made for people who truly care about polishing, and works from dual-action to single-action polishing for finishing.

Why we updated it
In the global market, the compound a detailer uses for finishing says a lot about their experience and skill. We released the earlier ICHIBAN FINISHING to be accepted by high-level detailers, and this version updates it for a more beautiful finish.

Water-soluble compounds made in Japan "cut" by breaking down into powder from the heat and motion of the buff, which creates polishing dust. To reduce that dust, we had to change the binder itself. It took a lot of back-and-forth between our German development side and our Japanese side. The result is a binder that is highly water-soluble, yet has stability and performance close to an oil-based one.

The final production step is done in Japan, blending in alkaline reduced water. After polishing, the paint surface feels slick rather than merely smooth, and needs no degreasing. The binder is made with as little oil as possible, and its alkaline additives leave the paint in a hydrophilic state. A small amount of water-soluble silica is added as a finishing touch.

Polishing is where a surface that resists spotting and sheds water begins. With strongly water-repellent coatings such as ISM COAT 3.0, the difference is clear.

DIRECTIONS

1. Apply a few drops, about half a grain of rice in size, to a final finishing buff. We recommend the BANZAI DYNAMICS - BLACK FINISHING BUFF PAD.
2. Polish at the highest speed you can, until the finish is sharp (depends on paint type and color).
3. No degreasing is needed after polishing.
4. If the surface turns hydrophilic when you pour water over it after polishing, it is a good sign that polishing was done properly.
