The Karate Kid 2.0 is our entry level random orbital polisher designed from the ground up. Featuring an 8mm throw with a standard 5” backing pad, this polisher is perfect for correcting and polishing. The M8 female screw on the shaft of the polisher also provides the flexibility to mount other backing plates.

Dual action random orbital polisher rotates through the momentum created by the high speed orbital motion. As there is no direct link between the rotations and orbit, this makes dual action random orbital polishers the safest tools to use for beginners but also enables effective paint correction.

Please note that 2 spare carbon brushes are included.

The extra long piles enable it to capture more product in each fibre and is perfect for the removal of excess wax and detailing product from the surface of your car without saturating quickly.

It is quite simply best in class and will cut down on your detailing time significantly whilst providing that glossy streak-free finish with minimal repeating strokes.

Apex Customs Nano Quartz Multi-Surface Ceramic Coating - 50ml

Introducing the professional grade 'Nano Quartz' ceramic coating kit designed for all painted surfaces including PPF & Vinyl which comes complete with the Base Coat, Prime, and Top Seal including an applicator block, several suede cloths, nitrile gloves and spray bottles.

BASE COAT is a 9H layer of glass that cures over painted surfaces to increase the hardness of the surface. A 110° water contact angle ensures tight water beading resulting in hydrophobic self-cleaning properties. BASE COAT has a durability of 24 months.

PRIME is a surface preparation spray designed to effectively remove grease and any polish oils that may remain on the surface. PRIME prepares the surface for BASE COAT to maximise bonding between the surface and the ceramic coat.

TOP SEAL is a silicon-based polymer based spray on sealant to prevent water spotting during curing and extends the hydrophobic properties of BASE COAT. Use every 3 months to boost gloss levels and prolong hydrophobic properties

FEATURES:

• Extreme 9H hardness (pencil scale)
• Immense gloss, ultimate "wet look" set to last up to 2 years
• 110° water contact angle for extreme hydrophobicity
• Low VOC, high solid ceramic coating
  
• Non carcinogenic
• Increased resistance to all contaminants and traffic film
• Resistance to light scratching and water spots
• Safe on all paintwork surfaces including PPF & Vinyl.
  

APPLICATION:

For best results, the surface must be prepared meticulously. All surfaces must be thoroughly washed and decontaminated with iron removers/clay bars (even if the car is new).

Any defects existing in the paintwork will be 'locked in' by the coating, therefore you will want to correct paint where necessary to ensure your car will look its best when protected. 

Perform machine polishing if necessary. If you don't own a machine or compounds, click here for further information.
