Full Description

The Dark version is the gold bottle with a black label and large Japanese characters, pictured being poured onto a wash sponge and worked into foam on dark paint. For silver and light cars there is the Silver version, and the matching wax is The Kiwami Black and Dark.

Using materials selected with the same obsession for quality made famous by ‘The Kiwami’ wax series, this complimentary shampoo incorporates high-gloss, water-repellent polymers to leave your vehicle looking impossibly fresh. No other wax-in-shampoo gives a shine like this! And with an added boost to hydrophobicity as well, this shampoo is perfect on its own, or as maintenance for a car wearing one of the ‘Kiwami’ waxes.

How To Use

Washing

  1. Rinse the car to remove loose dirt.
  2. Add shampoo to a bucket of water at the dilution on the bottle.
  3. Wash from the roof down with a clean wash mitt, one panel at a time.
  4. Rinse the mitt in a second bucket of clean water between panels.
  5. Rinse the car thoroughly before it dries.

Drying

  1. Dry with a clean, plush drying towel.
  2. Pat or glide the towel gently, never scrub.
  3. Dry the glass last with a separate towel.
  4. Wash the mitt and towels after use.

Top Tip: A second bucket of clean water for rinsing the mitt keeps grit off the paint and cuts wash marring.
