THE d'ELEGANCE FRENCH QUICK DETAILER【13th Anniversary】

The final wipe that completes the beauty.

FRENCH QD is a special quick detailer inspired by the sense of beauty KAMIKAZE COLLECTION encountered in France, bringing that aesthetic into everyday detailing.

Formulated with a French-made fragrance and a silicone emulsion, it refines the paint after washing, adding a clear, elegant gloss and a smooth texture you can feel at your fingertips.

It's designed to make the finishing step itself more enjoyable, fragrance included.

Whether you're preparing a car for a Concours d'Elegance or simply completing your everyday wash, what we ultimately seek is a kind of beauty that numbers alone can't express.

FRENCH QD was created for that final wipe.

THE DETAIL AS AN ART

"BERGAMOTE" Fragrance by PCW France
Bergamot · Floral · Woody

Imagine morning light spreading across the Mediterranean.

NAT BERGAMOTT'O opens with a fresh, radiant, sparkling bergamot, full of elegance. Delicate floral notes slowly unfold, while a subtle woody base wraps around the scent, adding depth and sophistication.

This is more than a citrus fragrance. It is a refined expression of Mediterranean freshness: clean, natural, elegant and timeless.

The fragrance is formulated with naturally derived ingredients, made in France and sourced from PCW, France.

THEORY
Toward KMKZ QUICK DETAILER 3.0

What can a Japanese-made quick detailer offer?

The biggest change in this model is a new texture, achieved by adding a German-made silicone emulsion. This builds on the strong reception and ongoing testing of the German-made silicone emulsion and additives in this year's limited-edition OVER COAT MADLANE.

We adjusted the concentration and specifications and added a new additive. The result is a new texture that keeps the quick detailer's signature performance: it forms a sacrificial coating while minimizing the layered, mille-feuille-like build-up that existing cleaner ingredients can cause.

PERFORMANCE

Across the series, the 1.0 model added cleaning performance to the "coating" function, and the 2.0 model added coating performance to the "cleaner" function. This 3.0 model carries that approach forward with a new texture.

To make outdoor application easier and prevent streaking, we added an acidic-pH chelating agent for added cleaning performance.

QUICK DETAILER

There are many definitions of a quick detailer: silicone-based, surfactant-based, strongly wax-like, formulated to remove water spots and oil, or almost entirely water-based.

Our commitment is to be "non-aggressive" toward existing coatings. What a quick detailer needs is to leave the base coating unaffected. It forms a very thin sacrificial layer, conditions the water-repellent base, adds a slight sheen, and cleans the surface.

The basic concept is the same as KAMIKAZE COLLECTION's non-aggressive theory, but this time we focused on making the coating easier to apply and more meaningful.

FROM THE CEO

Using non-Japanese materials in our products has always felt like a kind of resistance for me, or perhaps a matter of principle. After wrestling with it, I settled on my answer: if OVER COAT MADLANE earned high praise, or performed well in the comparative testing that followed, then I would have found it.

After several months of negotiation and testing, matching the base agent of our flagship KMKZ QUICK DETAILER 2.0 at pH 3.9 proved so difficult that development nearly stalled.

I always expect more from a QD than the definition of a quick detailer allows. Too much water repellency, too much cleaning power, too much change in texture... and yet I want to stay true to that approach.

Once again, we've reached OVER COAT-level specs in a QD. The gloss and texture in particular set it apart from earlier models. For better or worse, the performance is completely different from the previous QD series, but it was built on the very same theory. In short, this is a bold product, and then bolder still.

We hope our users and fans feel a real sense of satisfaction with this product, and see in it the future of KMKZ.

FAQ

Q. Can I reset the paint with KMKZ AMAZING GLAZE or KMKZ PAINT CLEANSING?
A. Yes. You can reset it just as easily as before.

Q. How is it different from OVER COAT LIQUID 6.1?
A. Compared to the LIQUID series, this product emphasizes cleaning performance. It can help remove relatively new mineral stains.

Q. How is it different from KMKZ QUICK DETAILER 2.0?
A. The base emulsion has changed from Japanese to German, and the cleaning ingredients have been adjusted, making the reaction slightly slower (milder).

Q. Can this be used to correct uneven application of OVER COAT CERAMIC -EVO-?
A. Yes. It can be used to smooth out streaks caused by applying multiple coats or by working on a hot paint surface.

Q. How many applications does one 300 ml bottle cover?
A. About 10 or more standard-sized cars, and depending on usage, it can last even longer.

Q. What do you recommend for applying it?
A. To get the most from its cleaning performance, we recommend a microfiber applicator. For efficient use on a wet car after washing, we recommend four microfiber towels.

Q. I noticed haze and streaks that wouldn't wipe away. What should I do?
A. A small amount of KMKZ AMAZING GLAZE can remove the haze, but we generally recommend reapplying. Before reapplying, we recommend degreasing with KMKZ PRIMER DEGREASING.

Q. Can I reapply without resetting?
A. Generally, the cleaning ingredients can remove surface dirt, but for heavy contamination we recommend priming with KMKZ AMAZING GLAZE first.
