How to Apply SOFT99 Kiwami Extreme Gloss Wax Silver
For the best results, apply the wax to clean, cool, and completely dry paintwork in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
1. Wash and Prepare the Vehicle
Thoroughly wash the vehicle to remove loose dirt, road grime, and other surface contamination. Dry the vehicle completely before applying the wax.
For better results, consider using a suitable iron remover or clay bar if the paint feels rough or contaminated. Proper surface preparation helps the wax spread more evenly and produces a cleaner finish.
2. Prepare the Applicator
Using the included sponge, pick up a moderate amount of wax. A thin, even layer is sufficient; applying too much product will make removal more difficult.
3. Apply a Thin, Even Layer
Spread the wax over the painted surface using light pressure and overlapping passes. Work in manageable sections to maintain consistent coverage.
4. Allow the Wax to Dry
Allow approximately 5–15 minutes for the wax to dry. Drying time can vary with temperature and environmental conditions. In warmer conditions, work panel by panel to prevent the wax from over-curing. Cooler temperatures may require additional drying time.
5. Buff Off the Residue
Using a clean, soft microfiber towel, gently buff away the dried residue until the surface is clear and glossy. Remove the product completely and promptly rather than leaving it on the paint for an extended period.
Aftercare & Maintenance
To help maintain the finish and extend the useful life of the wax:
-
Wash regularly with a pH-neutral automotive shampoo.
-
Use clean wash mitts and soft drying towels to minimize the risk of introducing scratches.
-
Avoid aggressive cleaners that may shorten wax durability.
-
Remove loose dirt and road grime regularly rather than allowing contamination to accumulate.
-
Reapply the wax when water behaviour and protective performance begin to diminish.
-
Avoid layering incompatible products over the wax.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which paint colours is Kiwami Silver designed for?
A: The Silver version is intended for silver and suitable light-coloured metallic and pearl finishes. For other paint colours, check the corresponding SOFT99 Kiwami wax variant.
Q: How long does SOFT99 Kiwami Silver last?
A: SOFT99 states that the wax can provide protection for up to three months. Actual durability depends on paint condition, weather exposure, washing frequency, and maintenance methods.
Q: Does this wax contain carnauba?
A: Yes. Kiwami combines natural carnauba wax with synthetic polymers to provide a balance of gloss and durability.
Q: Does it remove scratches and swirl marks?
A: No. This is a protective wax, not a paint-correction compound. It does not remove scratches, swirl marks, or oxidation. Correct the paint before waxing if you want to address those defects.
Q: Can I use it on dark-coloured vehicles?
A: The Silver version is designed for silver and suitable light-coloured finishes. For darker paintwork, choose a wax formulated for dark colours, such as SOFT99 Kiwami Black.

A: No. Use this product only on painted vehicle body panels. Avoid unpainted plastic, rubber, tires, glass, lenses, and leather.
Q: Can I apply a second coat?
A: The manufacturer's standard directions describe a single application. If you choose to apply another layer, ensure the first application has been fully buffed off and check product compatibility before proceeding.
