Kiwami Shampoo: shampoo with wax! From Japan, because where else?

Kiwami Shampoo: shampoo with wax! From Japan, because where else?

Every fan of Soft99 car care products has a touch of the experimentalist in him. It certainly takes a bit of boldness to try the unique Japanese detailing products in Europe – and one such bold product is the Extreme Gloss Kiwami, a car shampoo with wax. What is this product all about and why should you try it?

There are countless shampoos on the car care market. It is one of the ‘simpler’ products that smaller manufacturers often start with. The larger ones, which include Soft99, with their typical surfactant-based formula, have started to experiment.

Hence the ‘2-in-1’ formula - Kiwami shampoo combines cleaning and waxing features in one step, referring to the popular hybrid wax, popularly known simply as Kiwami wax. Available in two variants – for light and dark paintwork – this innovative shampoo is a must-have for any car enthusiast who is looking for a unique experience and likes pleasant surprises.

Low-foam formula with wax – the secret to exceptional shine

Extreme Gloss Kiwami is distinguished by its low-foaming formula, which makes it unique on the market. The high wax content gives your car a deep shine immediately when you wash it. The layer of wax applied in this way is comparable in terms of the effects delivered (appearance, protection) to the result of applying a quick detailer.

The solution provided by Kiwami Shampoo is particularly practical if you want to save time and at the same time enjoy some great visual results. Not only does the shampoo thoroughly remove dirt, but it also boosts the existing protective wax. This is perfect for those who want to maintain the shine and protection of their car without the need for frequent wax reapplication, which in turn places the Extreme Gloss Kiwami shampoo not only in the cleaning, but also in the maintenance category.

The Japanese approach -– a proper sponge included

The Extreme Gloss Kiwami shampoo comes with an extra fine, corrugated sponge that resembles the fan-favourite QJUTSU Ultrasoft Sponge in its top texture. It's a sponge that makes the use of the Kiwami shampoo even more effective and safe for the paintwork. The corrugated surface of the sponge allows the shampoo to be evenly distributed and effective, while minimising the risk of scratches.

With this combination – a shampoo with wax and a suitable sponge – you get a complete set that will take care of your car at the highest level. In addition, we've put the sponge in easy-to-recycle plastic packaging, so it won't get dirty on the shop shelf or in transit – fresh out of the box, it will be clean and completely safe for your car.

Japanese washing method for top results

Kiwami Extreme Gloss Shampoo has been developed with the Japanese car washing method in mind, which involves applying the product directly onto a sponge rather than into a bucket of water. This method of application allows better control of the amount of shampoo being used, makes it easier to remove difficult dirt instantly, and, in case of this particular shampoo, provides excellent visual results quickly. Although it is not a colouring product, Kiwami Shampoo is available in two variants – for light and dark paintwork tones. Choose accordingly!

Extreme Gloss Kiwami Shampoo – how to use it and what's good to know about it?

Extreme Gloss Kiwami from Soft99 can easily wash your entire car, including windows, plastic parts or rims. It is completely safe for wax-protected paintwork, especially Extreme Gloss Kiwami wax, which relies on the same hybrid base. You will be sure to love the effect these two compatible products will provide!

When washing your car, remember to follow the basic principles of effective and safe washing. Don't wash your car in the sun, don't work on bodywork heated up from a hot engine, and thoroughly rinse your vehicle of any soap or foam after the washing process is complete.

Directions for use:

  1. Rinse the vehicle with water to wash away sand and dust.
  2. Wet the sponge supplied with the product, apply the shampoo directly to it and squeeze it a few times to create foam. Start washing. In areas where dirt is difficult to remove, apply more shampoo.
  3. After washing, rinse the vehicle with water until the foam disappears.
  4. Wipe off any remaining drops of water with a towel or absorbent cloth.
  5. Finish off the bodywork with a wrung out, damp towel or dry towel in areas where uneven gloss or water droplets remain.
