@@The1Music2MyEars maybe so they doesnt get sued by american customers🤷🏻♂️ through this they would have proof the customer should know how to apply it
@@The1Music2MyEars lmao ikr, diamond protech's professional grade basically just means there's a curing time and that it needs to be installed indoors, lol. But like the other reply said, it is a liability issue for sueing since people would try to get their mistake montarily paid for, not only get fixed, but to have a debatable number for the time their car wasn't looking right, lol. Plus most people dont know about cars so they would kind of be freaked out, not knowing that the coating can be removed, 😂
These companies keep improving and raising the bar. I love it. The hazing is an interesting feature that will definitely help some people that find it hard to determine when to level the coating. Thanks for the overview Pan
Just bought and applied the Duraslic Xtreme HG with your link and topped it off a week later with Turtle Wax Graphine Infused Flex Wax…OMG…the slickness is literally unbelievable. I don’t say that lightly as I have been following you for years and using almost all of your tips and tricks. Thank you!!
That's two stand up guys I know, Pan and Brian. Absolutely two very fine gentlemen in the business. Thank you for sharing your content Pan, have a great week. Stay safe my friend.
I finally got my black 4Runner polished and coated with DuraSlic HG and it looks fantastic. It was my first time using my Rupes mk lll or any polisher for that matter. It took me around 12 hours to get it all completed. Thanks to Pan for giving me the confidence and how to videos to complete this on my own. I used the 3D one polish with the buff and shine ero pad. I tried to finish the buffing with Rupes uno pure and ultra fine pad but couldn’t see and better results so I skipped the final polish. Thank you Pan.
That's awesome! I know my viewers can do it if they watch my videos and take the time to do things well. And now you can apply any coating in the future. Good job! After the first week, you should notice a further increase in gloss and slickness as the coating continues to cure. Make sure you don't wash the vehicle for the first 14 days after the initial application.
@@spark1545 I did my 4Runner including the roof and it was plenty. It was my first time and think I went a little heavy on the application. I love the coating, it’s very good. Cleaning my vehicle is a lot easier and the water runs right off. I’d highly recommend it.
“For a limited time, Pan The Organizer Subscribers can take advantage of DuraSlic XtremeHG at a reduced price! XtremeHG usually has an MSRP of $174.99, but we’re giving Pan fans a special discount.” But when adding to cart and going to check out its $189.99????
Our apologies for the confusion on this. The $175 product MSRP which showed up in that initial hour of the launch was an error. The product actually doesn't have a suggested retail price, as it is only intended for our professional network, plus this fantastic Pan the Organizer audience for a limited time. We appreciate your support and patience with a small human error which was quickly fixed.
Awesome coating here which and their other coatings have held up very well in other tests. The gloss and slickness are going to stand out and it looks like the initial buff time is long enough to make installation less stressful. Thank you Pan for a stellar Saturday video. People would be wise to buy this coating at home.
Applied the extreme and one year later the topper. The latter is impressive sofar... just after applying I drove a week through the most dreadfull weather (hard and dirty rain) and its amazing how good it still looks after that week. So I do recomme d the product and if this hg combines both the extreme and topper, I would go for that solution ;)
Wouah ! Magnifique ! Merci Pan pour cette nouvelle petite pépite qui sublime le véhicule et qui met aussi en avant tout le travail effectué en amont. Une belle signature.
Question: Do you find the best Graphene against the best Ceramic to be actually better...It seems like the focus is mostly on Ceramic from most companies ..I just got the Graphene from Dura-Coating being my fav Ceramic (Nano 1 Coat 4+ year 9h) I got there Glass X to for the window as it has a durability of 1.5 years and up...I've had it on my truck for 2.5 years and it's still performs great.....
Just applied Dura Slic to my 2021 Boxster. I expected that it needed correction, but was shocked to see the number “21” stamped into the driver’s door (printed through from paint shrinking back over time? whatever it was, it buffed out beautifully). Best surprise was the great gloss boost from the DuraSlic HG.
Thanks for sharing your experience Bob. This is an excellent choice for a coating! Yeah the gloss is very good, but did you also notice the slickness? And it will only get better in the coming weeks, while the coating continues its curing!
I'm really enjoying your content. Thank you. I got HG in the mail a few days ago but I need more preparation before installing. Car is brand new going on 3 months without protection! Could or would you recommend an easy to apply and easy to remove paint protection to use temporarily while I'm getting ready for the HG install?
Trusted you with this one Pan.. Installed on a new 2024 BMW X5 M60i. No detail from dealer so virgin clearcoat. Easy to put on, came out good. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up.
Thanks for the great video, Pan! I was wondering if you could tell me if one bottle would be able to fully coat my Audi s3 or if I would likely need 2. Thanks for your assistance!

Maintenance is as simple washing with a pH neutral wax-free shampoo. And once every 2-3 months, use a silica spray sealant as a topper, to boost the properties, although DuraSlic states no topper is really needed.
Hi Pan Just one recommendation to your Chanel most of the time you work on nice or new car doing polishing etc It will be interesting if you work on a really bad car(damage big scratches etc )and bring it back to life with recommendations products you normally used that will be a challenge
Hi Omar. My channel isn't one of those "Hey look at me cleaning a disgusting car" or the style of disaster detailing video. There are enough copy-cat channels that do that. I have ZERO interest in cleaning disgusting or really bad cars. After 26 years of detailing, I focus on doing what I like most. So I do higher end full new car prep jobs, including application of a ceramic coating. I don't do entry level car wash or just clean a dirty car anymore. Plus, my audience is truly passionate about keeping their cars clean, so making disaster videos wouldn't be popular on my channel. Also, the techniques and products used don't change from a clean car to a dirty car lol. That changes nothing. You just need more elbow grease and time to clean really bad cars. Case in point, in all the disaster type videos, as soon as they're done pre-rinsing with the pressure washer, the vehicle is 85% clean and it gets back to the exact same point as a cleaner car. Disaster videos are more for entertainment. My channel is more about education through tutorials, tips and tricks. That being said, if you're curious, I made a few videos of cleaning filthy cars or older neglected cars, just for my viewers' entertainment a few years ago here: th-cam.com/video/sAqamdcZmn8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7zqovDt7NIU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/KsmXHos0zyY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ig82dR1pPN0/w-d-xo.html
Having applied this a couple months ago now I can attest to this being a really good product. Not sure if it’s the extreme hydrophobic properties or oleophobic that’s other brands don’t have, maybe both, but this really seems to keep the car cleaner for longer.
That looks like an amazing product. Not only the finish but how easy it is to apply. I have to do all my work outside, although I would put up a cover if applying ceramic coatings. It's always good to see one that looks quicker and easier to apply than others on the market. Thanks for sharing mate 🙌
@@PanTheOrganizerHi Pan, could you recommend a wax equivalent to Gyeon Q2 wax please. Gyeon wax has been sold out on car supplies warehouse for a while. Thank you.
I ceramic coated my new Jeep in 2018 with the help of your videos. I was wondering do you have to apply another ceramic coating now and do you have video on reapplying?
I have put the Extreme HG on a new 2024 Corvette Z06. Absolutely love the look and feel. I am just curious if you have done any update on performance. I also used the FlowX topper. That stuff just took it up a notch and initial opinion is great gloss and depth.
@@PanTheOrganizer I’m new to your channel and have watched a lot of your content. I have not paid attention to detailing in the last 5-10 yrs. A lot has changed and your videos are great. I like your approach and candid nature. I’m an engineer and love to dig into the details so your approach is right of my alley. Keep of the great work and have a good holiday season.
Thanks Mike! And yes you are right so much has changed. Welcome to my channel.

I had a professional Gyon ceramic job done with a 5 year warranty 18 months ago. Still beads water and cleans easy. Can I apply this over my old coating?
No. True coatings (glass bottles) need to bond directly to virgin clear coat. You’d have to prep the paint and machine polish the old one off before applying a new ceramic coating.
Hi Pan. Wanted to let you know I ordered the product and I will keep you posted how it holds up here on Prince Edward Island. I haven't decided what vehicleI am going to put it on. But I am going to document the whole process and see how it holds up in Atlantic Canada here in PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND!
@@PanTheOrganizer good morning Pan it was a hot one yesterday on the East Coast! Here in pei we're not dealing with the fires they are in Nova Scotia which is terrible. I was just thinking have you ever heard of using a tack cloth or compressed air or something before applying the ceramic coating to ensure there's no dust at all? The reason I ask is I used to do a lot of wood finishing and we always do that sort of thing.
First off love your channel!!! How would you say this compares to Adam Graphene advance ceramic coating that you used on your Nissan. In terms of durability, maintenance and also the shine. Thanks Rich
Hi Richard. Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 930,000 subscribers and we have over 122 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. The Nissan Rigue is my girlfriend’s vehicle. I dirve a Porsche 911 Turbo S. ;) But I prefer the DuraSlic coating. It’s an unfair comparison as the DS is a professional grade coating and costs more. The Adam’s is a consumer grade coating and costs less. I will have a 2 year update of the Adam’s coating next month so stay tuned!
Ideally, you don't apply protection before PPF. You want the PPF to bond correctly to the paint. Once your PPF is applied, then you apply a coating on top.
Nice, as i'm a Professional Detailer. No business though. I've worked for BMW for like 1000 years lol. But they actually has a Detailing school but for BMW employees Only. Top notch class. But this product is AWEsome - One layer = one coat. I wash my car at least 3-4 times a week. Cause by working at the Shipping Ports. It's a lil dusty so i hav to wash it off often. I hate dust on my car. So, i normally use waterless wash spray, gloss spray. Twice a year i do a ceramic coat fall & spring time. But u wanna know when ur car stands out the best. It's at night when either the Moon or street lights hit it. Maaaannnnnn, it looks SICK!! Better looking then in the Sun.. It jus looks like its wet on a Dry night. Ppl comment All the time "How ur car Shinning like that at night". Cause they see how Dirty their cars are. But what's funny is they park away from my car cause my shine Embarrassed their cars lol I'm fine with that cause i Stay Dent Free......
Hi, so I'm done my research about ceramic product. Came across this video but is unable to get the product. So many ceramic product out there now a day. Which one do you recommend? 🤔 Please and thank you.
All my top product recommendations are in my popular car detailing products awards video here: th-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E7b7letaq6n-5mHL
There would be no real advantage in doing that in my opinion, but if I remember I think they mentioned you can apply two layers. But you'd need to confirm with the brand to make sure.
Thanks for this offer Pan,i recently coated my truck(first time coating) and it turned out great but after 2 months im not 100% happy with the coating,it seems to hold water spots pretty bad and has graphine which i though was supposed to help fight water spots? Anyway,i have wanted to try to find a professional grade coating but have no certifications so,this is perfect.
Polishing a coating isn't recommended, as you would damage and strip the coating. Mechanical abrasion and friction will remove the coating. Chemical decon steps are always preferred on coated cars. I would recommend the following steps: 1) Wash the car with a decon shampoo like CarPro Descale. It's slightly acidic pH will help remove minerals and water spots. 2) Rinse it, then use a tar remover if you have tar deposits. 3) Rinse it, then use an iron remover to remove brake dust and industrial fallout. 4) Rinse and dry the vehicle. 5) Then use the water spot remover, which will also help to remove any minerals left on the coating that perhaps are masking its properties. Rinse, and wash the car again. The coating's properties should be restored at this point, assuming the coating is in good shape and was applied properly and is still within its claimed durability. Also, clay bars are abrasive by nature, and again, not recommended on coatings as you would damage the coating and potentially add some marring to the paint. If maintained properly, you shouldn't have much embedded contamination. In some rare cases where you might find some contamination left after all the chemical decon steps, like a bit of grit in the clear coat, you could use a synthetic clay towel (that uses a different clay media compared to traditional clay bars) and lots of clay lube, in order to lightly clay the surface. A clay towel like this one: bit.ly/43nrfce Or this one: bit.ly/43y0Mss But test on an inconspicuous area first!
How do you contact DuraSlic support? I have had no luck. Questions I have are around FlowX. 1) Can FlowX be applied on all vehicle trim, paint, glass? 2) can FlowX be applied on PPF?
Sorry if there was a delayed response from our team, but I believe you've received an email now. Just in case...1. We find FlowX is best on the paint and suggest our DS1500 for Glass and Trim. That doesn't mean you can't apply FlowX to these areas, but the best results are on paint as a topper. 2. Yes, you can apply FlowX over PPF, but we still recommend using a base of Xtreme first in order to get the longevity.
I put a graphene coating from GlassParency on my 2022 Hyundai Elantra N-Line and was driving behind a jacked up truck. I could not see what was in front of it but he had run over a fallen limb (not a branch, a legit limb maybe 4-6ft long and roughly 10 inches in diameter at the base) I was surrounded by traffic so I had no choice but to hit it. I was sick the entire way to my destination just knowing I had a giant scratch all down the driver side of my 2 day old car. I arrive to find not a single scratch but just some scuff marks that I wiped off with a towel. I am not sure if I just got insanely lucky or if the coating was the reason, but that alone has made me want to put a coating on every car I will ever own.
Coatings are by far the best paint protection for sure. They aren't meant to protect against scratches though (only PPF can protect paint against stone chips and scratches) but luck was on your side for that unfortunate accident.
It depends on the size of the vehicle and how much you apply. But for an average size car, one bottle is more than enough. You could stretch it to two cars if you only apply it on painted surfaces.
No discount code, but my viewers get to purchase this exclusively for a limited time, as it's a professional grade coating only available to certified pro detailers normally. It's pretty nice that DuraSlic gave access to my audience.
@@PanTheOrganizer hey pan this year is the first time using it as I was recommended by you so I thought I’d give it a whirl. It’s a great product and Shawn from head of sales was telling me about HG earlier this year here’s a short clip of the last vehicle I did.th-cam.com/users/shortsAntZt9Pc8cQ?feature=share
It depends on which carnauba wax you applied. It's important to follow the instructions on the label. But typically, a pure carnauba wax has no curing time. After application, you can drive off in the elements, no problem.
Great work you do! and thank you for educating us in this detailing world . But can you recommend something for your European fans ? The HG+ shipping is 300$ 😱😰.
Hey Pan, could I do two layers of this product? If so, how long would you wait between coats? Thanks in advance! I’ve already ordered one bottle but I’m thinking I need to order another bottle to make sure I have enough, and at that point I’ll use whatever I have left to do a second layer on certain areas or the whole car if it lasts.
One layer is all that is required. I think I remember they said you could apply a second layer, but I don’t remember any other details. Perhaps write to them and ask.
I usually end polishing with the kochchemi micro cut . Do you recommend anything else to polish with before applying a coating ? I just bought the coating in the link and thanks for the video. Appreciate if you can answer this for me
Best value the HG takes it as it’s much less expensive and only requires one layer. The Roar Coating is a two-part system, and yes will perform better and likely last longer, but it takes more experience to apply, more time and coats more. Time will tell, but regardless of which one you pick, both are excellent picks. Traditionally only available to pro detailers, only available to my viewers for a limited time.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for replying. Hey just an FYI I applied the Cerakote to my wife’s Audi Q5 prior to selling in a week ago and had fantastic results. I applied at 60 degrees F and 40% humidity and waited the suggested 5 minutes and possibly a touch longer. But I applied it really heavily I’d say 45 ml to complete. I’m in South Louisiana (we had a front move through and I have semi controlled environment (38f outside) it looked great and responded to the first was as you would expect.
Oh good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience. So no issues after a few washes? Yeah it seems to be doing great in some weather/conditions and not so great in other situations. But the brand will address this and update the coating with new curing mechanisms so it should be ok for everyone once the new version gets sent out. I think some people just overly put drama and conspiracy theories where there was just something the brand needed to tweak. Because if the durability is there, overall the gloss, slickness and hydrophobic properties are very very good and it’s super easy to apply. 👍🏻
No issues after 2 (then I sold it, Bought a Range Rover Sport PS400 putting HG on it this weekend) but the weather was good. Have to say that was easier to put on and leveling that putting on ole Jescar Powerlock sealant. The looks and gloss were fantastic. The only thing I thing I did differently that I’ve seen was I left it on until I felt and initial slight grab before leveling, maybe I was a little insecure with how slight it is to remove. I agree, people are just too competitive. Your interview with the CEO was fantastic. You can see his a great leader and takes responsibility. With that kind of leadership, allocation of resources and accountability they will get it right.
Amazing review, as always Pan! Thanks for bringing this to us and for making it available for us to purchase. I recently applied Glassparency’s Graphene Coating to my SQ8. What do think about applying this on top of that coating?
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan. I figured you could much like other coatings. I've mainly used G-Techiq CSL and EXO. This should be an up grade. Love just 1 coat too. I'm doing both my and my wife's cars this summer. Love you very informative channel.
CSL + EXO was already a 3-5 year coating, like Holy Grail. So in that sense, they are equivalent. CSL is also super slick, like Holy Grail. So you already had a very good duo. The main advantage with Holy Grail is that it's a one layer system (compared to one layer of CSL and two layers of EXO v4) and has better hydrophobic properties.
@@PanTheOrganizer What about the oil repellency? CSL doesn't even talk about that. I got 5 years out CSL except the lower rocker where it took a beating. Every where else held up well.
I've learned a lot from your videos and have had great results with my 2 daily driver cars, but I haven't seen much on how to care for my old car. I have a 66 Vette that was painted in the early 70s and I don't believe it has a clear coat. Can you do a video specific for this kind of vehicle?
Pan, great video! I'm interested to know if the water spotting is less noticeable with the Extreme HG version vs. the Extreme. I have applied Extreme on 3 cars, and the water spotting is pretty bad. Have a great day, thanks!
No coating can prevent that. What good coatings do is make washing the vehicle a lot easier. And the slickness also helps with helping your mitt and microfiber drying towel to glide better and thus reduce the chances of marring.
@@PanTheOrganizer IC, so do you perform contaminant removal in between if you feel the grit build up on your finish or just leave it until the coating has lost effectiveness and require a new coat?
So is this better than the Gyeon from your other video on how to choose a coating? I am trying to decide between this, Gyeon and Adams Advanced but I just keep seeing positives on all of them. This one is the only one that you stated was a one coat though so maybe that is my answer.
I believe the Adams Advanced is the best coating available to consumers, by a long shot. Besides DuraSlic, which can be purchased by non-professionals thanks to Pan. I am currently trying to decide between Adams Advanced and DuraSlic HG for my incoming 2024 Mustang GT. I have used Adams Advanced and it is flat out amazing, so I should just go back to that one because I know how well it works, but...this DuraSlic Xtreme HG looks to be very good as well. Tough choice, but those are the two best options IMO.
Yes, absolutely. A new car is never new until it's properly detailed. - at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example. - vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc - vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements - at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches - at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car from two of my customers: Tesla Model Y: th-cam.com/video/gohks8xP5NY/w-d-xo.html Porsche 911 Carrera: th-cam.com/video/2ckiivbFqs4/w-d-xo.html Audi Q7: th-cam.com/video/t7HCBSVnizM/w-d-xo.html
Wait two weeks after the coating's application at this point (I'm assuming it was done a few days ago) and then you can start washing your car again, and apply a layer of FlowX.
Pan, can DuraSlic HG be used to coat practically everything on the car? Including body paint, wheels, glass, and plastic trim? I don’t see any information on this from their website. Please help, thank you
Hi Jonathan. In the video, as well as in the description under the video, I gave the answer to your question: " it can be applied to paint, glass, plastic trim, wheels and lights (not recommended on chrome surfaces)".
This is a ceramic coating. And you have to apply this on a vehicle that doesn’t have a ceramic coating. It needs to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. Hence why you prep the paint to make sure it’s squeaky clean.
Hey Pan, since this is no longer available unless you're certified, what is a comparable "prosumer" coating to this? I'm really pleased with the duraslick HG, but I have another car to coat. How does diy detail C6 lite compare? Thanks for your help!

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate it!
I finally got my black 4Runner polished and coated with DuraSlic HG and it looks fantastic. It was my first time using my Rupes mk lll or any polisher for that matter. It took me around 12 hours to get it all completed. Thanks to Pan for giving me the confidence and how to videos to complete this on my own. I used the 3D one polish with the buff and shine ero pad. I tried to finish the buffing with Rupes uno pure and ultra fine pad but couldn’t see and better results so I skipped the final polish. Thank you Pan.
That's awesome! I know my viewers can do it if they watch my videos and take the time to do things well. And now you can apply any coating in the future. Good job! After the first week, you should notice a further increase in gloss and slickness as the coating continues to cure. Make sure you don't wash the vehicle for the first 14 days after the initial application.
@@PanTheOrganizer I might post a video of it on TH-cam, there’s not a lot of info out there on TH-cam that I’ve seen.
Is one bottle enough to coat the whole vehicle?
@@spark1545 I did my 4Runner including the roof and it was plenty. It was my first time and think I went a little heavy on the application. I love the coating, it’s very good. Cleaning my vehicle is a lot easier and the water runs right off. I’d highly recommend it.
thank you so much, always your are the first ho given as the new products. thank you PAN
😁👍🏻
That's crazy!! The gloss on this car looked like something from a video game!! Great job !!!
Thanks for watching Martin!
Thanks for providing us with great advice!!
You always do an outstanding job with your product reviews and demos. Thank you.

I just bought this for my black 4Runner. Can’t wait to give it a try. I’m sure it will be great. Thanks Pan.
Good purchase! Enjoy!

But when adding to cart and going to check out its $189.99????
Our apologies for the confusion on this. The $175 product MSRP which showed up in that initial hour of the launch was an error. The product actually doesn't have a suggested retail price, as it is only intended for our professional network, plus this fantastic Pan the Organizer audience for a limited time. We appreciate your support and patience with a small human error which was quickly fixed.
@@duraslic that’s a load of bull and you know it. Someone typed $174.99. Don’t lie now
Awesome coating here which and their other coatings have held up very well in other tests. The gloss and slickness are going to stand out and it looks like the initial buff time is long enough to make installation less stressful. Thank you Pan for a stellar Saturday video. People would be wise to buy this coating at home.
Thanks Neil!
Applied the extreme and one year later the topper. The latter is impressive sofar... just after applying I drove a week through the most dreadfull weather (hard and dirty rain) and its amazing how good it still looks after that week. So I do recomme d the product and if this hg combines both the extreme and topper, I would go for that solution ;)
👍🏻
Very well put together. Seems pretty solid. Not being negative but IMO very pricey. NOT a deal breaker.
I remember the Q7 video, the owner's reaction was great😂. DuraSilc offers some great coatings, the water behavior is on point👌🏻. Great video Pan!
Thanks Konsta!

Welcome to the weekend, and Happy Memorial Day weekend to all warriors out there ✊🏿

Merci !! :)
Question:
Do you find the best Graphene against the best Ceramic to be actually better...It seems like the focus is mostly on Ceramic from most companies
..I just got the Graphene from Dura-Coating being my fav Ceramic (Nano 1 Coat 4+ year 9h) I got there Glass X to for the window as it has a durability of 1.5 years and up...I've had it on my truck for 2.5 years and it's still performs great.....
Just applied Dura Slic to my 2021 Boxster. I expected that it needed correction, but was shocked to see the number “21” stamped into the driver’s door (printed through from paint shrinking back over time? whatever it was, it buffed out beautifully). Best surprise was the great gloss boost from the DuraSlic HG.
Thanks for sharing your experience Bob. This is an excellent choice for a coating! Yeah the gloss is very good, but did you also notice the slickness? And it will only get better in the coming weeks, while the coating continues its curing!
How does this work on Glass? any thoughts on durability on the windshield? Thanks
Can we use this product for the windshield as well?
I'm really enjoying your content. Thank you. I got HG in the mail a few days ago but I need more preparation before installing. Car is brand new going on 3 months without protection! Could or would you recommend an easy to apply and easy to remove paint protection to use temporarily while I'm getting ready for the HG install?
Awesome video and product review good friend
Thanks Richard! I hope you are doing well.
Hi Pan, that gloss looks awesome, great review as always, have a great weekend 👍
Thanks!
Trusted you with this one Pan.. Installed on a new 2024 BMW X5 M60i. No detail from dealer so virgin clearcoat. Easy to put on, came out good. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up.
And the slickness is great! Good pick!
@@PanTheOrganizer it rained today, water beaded off beautifully.
How is the resistance to water spotting? Still glad you went with the HG?
Can you apply this over PPF?
Yes
Thanks for the great video, Pan! I was wondering if you could tell me if one bottle would be able to fully coat my Audi s3 or if I would likely need 2. Thanks for your assistance!
One bottle is more than enough for an A3. Enjoy!
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks, Pan!

Three bottles should be good, but it depends on how much you apply, that can vary from one person to another.
After coating your first car, you’ll see how much you have left and it will be a good indicator for the other cars.

thanks Pan,I always learn new tricks from very informative videos.Any suggestions on maintenance wash ups?
Maintenance is as simple washing with a pH neutral wax-free shampoo. And once every 2-3 months, use a silica spray sealant as a topper, to boost the properties, although DuraSlic states no topper is really needed.
hell yeah. Thanks for the coating availability Pan!!

Hi Pan
Just one recommendation to your Chanel most of the time you work on nice or new car doing polishing etc
It will be interesting if you work on a really bad car(damage big scratches etc )and bring it back to life with recommendations products you normally used that will be a challenge
Hi Omar. My channel isn't one of those "Hey look at me cleaning a disgusting car" or the style of disaster detailing video. There are enough copy-cat channels that do that. I have ZERO interest in cleaning disgusting or really bad cars.
After 26 years of detailing, I focus on doing what I like most. So I do higher end full new car prep jobs, including application of a ceramic coating. I don't do entry level car wash or just clean a dirty car anymore.
Plus, my audience is truly passionate about keeping their cars clean, so making disaster videos wouldn't be popular on my channel.
Also, the techniques and products used don't change from a clean car to a dirty car lol. That changes nothing. You just need more elbow grease and time to clean really bad cars. Case in point, in all the disaster type videos, as soon as they're done pre-rinsing with the pressure washer, the vehicle is 85% clean and it gets back to the exact same point as a cleaner car.
Disaster videos are more for entertainment. My channel is more about education through tutorials, tips and tricks.
That being said, if you're curious, I made a few videos of cleaning filthy cars or older neglected cars, just for my viewers' entertainment a few years ago here:

Got me a coating ordered!!! Going on a candy apple red 1986 camaro!!!!
Enjoy!
Having applied this a couple months ago now I can attest to this being a really good product. Not sure if it’s the extreme hydrophobic properties or oleophobic that’s other brands don’t have, maybe both, but this really seems to keep the car cleaner for longer.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s one of my favourite professional grade coatings for sure!
That looks like an amazing product. Not only the finish but how easy it is to apply. I have to do all my work outside, although I would put up a cover if applying ceramic coatings. It's always good to see one that looks quicker and easier to apply than others on the market. Thanks for sharing mate 🙌
Thanks for watching!
@@PanTheOrganizerHi Pan, could you recommend a wax equivalent to Gyeon Q2 wax please. Gyeon wax has been sold out on car supplies warehouse for a while. Thank you.
I ceramic coated my new Jeep in 2018 with the help of your videos. I was wondering do you have to apply another ceramic coating now and do you have video on reapplying?
No video as you have to restart all the steps including machine polishing as it’s the only way to ensure 100% removal of any previous protection.
You should review the dura slic 1500 consumer grade version. Also a nano pro and a jade ceramic. That would be great!!
Another great informative video. Thank you Pan!
Thanks Chris!
OK, I'll take your word for it, Pan. Just ordered the kit. Hopefully, I'll be able to do a good job on my car with it.
👍🏻
How did ya like it?
Unfortunately, I haven't had time to apply it yet. I'll post back here after I have.@@mattbriggs7319
Any updates?
I have put the Extreme HG on a new 2024 Corvette Z06. Absolutely love the look and feel. I am just curious if you have done any update on performance. I also used the FlowX topper. That stuff just took it up a notch and initial opinion is great gloss and depth.
I can’t do updates for every product unfortunately, but the feedback I get is that this is still doing strong. It should do very well for you! Enjoy.
@@PanTheOrganizer I’m new to your channel and have watched a lot of your content. I have not paid attention to detailing in the last 5-10 yrs. A lot has changed and your videos are great.

I had a professional Gyon ceramic job done with a 5 year warranty 18 months ago. Still beads water and cleans easy. Can I apply this over my old coating?
No. True coatings (glass bottles) need to bond directly to virgin clear coat. You’d have to prep the paint and machine polish the old one off before applying a new ceramic coating.
So glad to see this video! I saw their teaser and was interested. Interested to see how it performs
Thanks Dakota!
Pan theeeee Ceramic Organizer 😁 new video = new guide!
😁👍🏻
Pan was wondering where i can purchase the applicator pads thanks for the help
Hi Pan. Wanted to let you know I ordered the product and I will keep you posted how it holds up here on Prince Edward Island. I haven't decided what vehicleI am going to put it on. But I am going to document the whole process and see how it holds up in Atlantic Canada here in PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND!
Awesome! I like to have viewer feedback on how products perform in their conditions.
@@PanTheOrganizer good morning Pan it was a hot one yesterday on the East Coast! Here in pei we're not dealing with the fires they are in Nova Scotia which is terrible. I was just thinking have you ever heard of using a tack cloth or compressed air or something before applying the ceramic coating to ensure there's no dust at all? The reason I ask is I used to do a lot of wood finishing and we always do that sort of thing.
How is the coating performing?@@stephenthompson1562
First off love your channel!!! How would you say this compares to Adam Graphene advance ceramic coating that you used on your Nissan. In terms of durability, maintenance and also the shine. Thanks Rich

The Nissan Rigue is my girlfriend’s vehicle. I dirve a Porsche 911 Turbo S. ;)
But I prefer the DuraSlic coating. It’s an unfair comparison as the DS is a professional grade coating and costs more. The Adam’s is a consumer grade coating and costs less.
I will have a 2 year update of the Adam’s coating next month so stay tuned!
Awesome!!! I'll be looking for that video. Thanks for your response
Am I missing something with the discount?
Where can we purchase the bigger applicators like the one you used in the video…Thanks in advance
Here: amzn.to/3SySbmR
Can this be applied to the paint before I install a paint protection film like 3m---then apply another layer ontop of the film?
Ideally, you don't apply protection before PPF. You want the PPF to bond correctly to the paint. Once your PPF is applied, then you apply a coating on top.
Nice, as i'm a Professional Detailer. No business though. I've worked for BMW for like 1000 years lol. But they actually has a Detailing school but for BMW employees Only. Top notch class. But this product is AWEsome - One layer = one coat. I wash my car at least 3-4 times a week. Cause by working at the Shipping Ports. It's a lil dusty so i hav to wash it off often. I hate dust on my car. So, i normally use waterless wash spray, gloss spray. Twice a year i do a ceramic coat fall & spring time. But u wanna know when ur car stands out the best. It's at night when either the Moon or street lights hit it. Maaaannnnnn, it looks SICK!! Better looking then in the Sun.. It jus looks like its wet on a Dry night. Ppl comment All the time "How ur car Shinning like that at night". Cause they see how Dirty their cars are. But what's funny is they park away from my car cause my shine Embarrassed their cars lol I'm fine with that cause i Stay Dent Free......
Sure.
Hi, so I'm done my research about ceramic product. Came across this video but is unable to get the product. So many ceramic product out there now a day. Which one do you recommend? 🤔 Please and thank you.
All my top product recommendations are in my popular car detailing products awards video here: th-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E7b7letaq6n-5mHL
Hi can this be applied on top of ppf
Yes
Hey Mr. Pan can you use it for windows and interior panels and seats
It can be applied to paint, glass, plastic trim, wheels and lights (not recommended on chrome surfaces). And it's not for use on the interior.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for always always giving everyone your best advice wisdom and knowledge. Many blessings to you all.
How does that compare to the Roar coating on your Porsche?
I have that same question.
I have had way more time with the Roar, so we’ll know in my next car detailing products awards.
@@PanTheOrganizer 👀 haha I’ll be waiting!!
Always love your product awards videos! Looking forward to this year's! Cheers
@pan great video! With brake duster have you noticed that the brakes start to be less good? I've tested it
You mean Brake Buster? I never had any issues with it.
I know they say it’s a one coat but any thoughts on applying two coats? Thanks.
There would be no real advantage in doing that in my opinion, but if I remember I think they mentioned you can apply two layers. But you'd need to confirm with the brand to make sure.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan you’re the best.
Thanks for this offer Pan,i recently coated my truck(first time coating) and it turned out great but after 2 months im not 100% happy with the coating,it seems to hold water spots pretty bad and has graphine which i though was supposed to help fight water spots? Anyway,i have wanted to try to find a professional grade coating but have no certifications so,this is perfect.
Polishing a coating isn't recommended, as you would damage and strip the coating. Mechanical abrasion and friction will remove the coating. Chemical decon steps are always preferred on coated cars. I would recommend the following steps:
1) Wash the car with a decon shampoo like CarPro Descale. It's slightly acidic pH will help remove minerals and water spots.
2) Rinse it, then use a tar remover if you have tar deposits.
3) Rinse it, then use an iron remover to remove brake dust and industrial fallout.
4) Rinse and dry the vehicle.
5) Then use the water spot remover, which will also help to remove any minerals left on the coating that perhaps are masking its properties. Rinse, and wash the car again.
The coating's properties should be restored at this point, assuming the coating is in good shape and was applied properly and is still within its claimed durability.
Also, clay bars are abrasive by nature, and again, not recommended on coatings as you would damage the coating and potentially add some marring to the paint.
If maintained properly, you shouldn't have much embedded contamination. In some rare cases where you might find some contamination left after all the chemical decon steps, like a bit of grit in the clear coat, you could use a synthetic clay towel (that uses a different clay media compared to traditional clay bars) and lots of clay lube, in order to lightly clay the surface. A clay towel like this one: bit.ly/43nrfce
Or this one: bit.ly/43y0Mss
But test on an inconspicuous area first!
How do you contact DuraSlic support? I have had no luck. Questions I have are around FlowX.
1) Can FlowX be applied on all vehicle trim, paint, glass?
2) can FlowX be applied on PPF?
Sorry if there was a delayed response from our team, but I believe you've received an email now. Just in case...1. We find FlowX is best on the paint and suggest our DS1500 for Glass and Trim. That doesn't mean you can't apply FlowX to these areas, but the best results are on paint as a topper. 2. Yes, you can apply FlowX over PPF, but we still recommend using a base of Xtreme first in order to get the longevity.
Hi Pan! What is the light source you are using in the video to inspect the coating? I didn't see it in list of items used? Thanks!
This light: bit.ly/3BYLnpf
You can also get it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3IMV1iC
Hi Pan, do these ceramic coatings start curing once they are opened, limiting shelf life of what remains in the bottle?
A few months once opened.
What was the gloss meter reading result for this customer's car?
How long will the coating last in the bottle if it hasn’t been opened? Should it be used within a couple of months of purchasing.
Typically coatings are good for 1 year if unopened and stored in stable conditions and not frozen.
I put a graphene coating from GlassParency on my 2022 Hyundai Elantra N-Line and was driving behind a jacked up truck. I could not see what was in front of it but he had run over a fallen limb (not a branch, a legit limb maybe 4-6ft long and roughly 10 inches in diameter at the base) I was surrounded by traffic so I had no choice but to hit it. I was sick the entire way to my destination just knowing I had a giant scratch all down the driver side of my 2 day old car. I arrive to find not a single scratch but just some scuff marks that I wiped off with a towel. I am not sure if I just got insanely lucky or if the coating was the reason, but that alone has made me want to put a coating on every car I will ever own.
Coatings are by far the best paint protection for sure. They aren't meant to protect against scratches though (only PPF can protect paint against stone chips and scratches) but luck was on your side for that unfortunate accident.
Pan, is the kit meant for only a one vehicle application?
It depends on the size of the vehicle and how much you apply. But for an average size car, one bottle is more than enough. You could stretch it to two cars if you only apply it on painted surfaces.
Is there a Pan discount code for this product?
No discount code, but my viewers get to purchase this exclusively for a limited time, as it's a professional grade coating only available to certified pro detailers normally. It's pretty nice that DuraSlic gave access to my audience.
Do you have a discount code we can use at check Pan?
No unfortunately.
Your customer is driving on proper winter tires! 👌🏻
Hi do you normally ceramic coat the roof? I never see it and was going to do mine bit not sure if I should
All painted surfaces yes of course. It’s just impossible to film the roof with my gear haha.
I can’t seem to find a Canadian installer. I live is Oshawa which is just outside the Toronto area. Is there a Canadian link?
I will have to try that As I love using the 1500 Xtreme
How long have you been using Xtreme for?
@@PanTheOrganizer hey pan this year is the first time using it as I was recommended by you so I thought I’d give it a whirl. It’s a great product and Shawn from head of sales was telling me about HG earlier this year here’s a short clip of the last vehicle I did.th-cam.com/users/shortsAntZt9Pc8cQ?feature=share
Hi Pan, is there a time period after applying a carnuba wax to let it cure fully before washing the vehicle? Thanks
It depends on which carnauba wax you applied. It's important to follow the instructions on the label. But typically, a pure carnauba wax has no curing time. After application, you can drive off in the elements, no problem.
Great work you do! and thank you for educating us in this detailing world . But can you recommend something for your European fans ? The HG+ shipping is 300$ 😱😰.
See my video here: th-cam.com/video/w_dpnJH_Mz0/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video! Can this ceremic coating be applied to headlights, tail lights, glass and wheels as well? How many bottles will it take?
Yes. How many bottles depends on how big the vehicle is.
How many cars would a bottle that size protect? I have a ram and a jeep?
It depends on how much you apply, but I would say two average size cars or one big truck.
Hey Pan, could I do two layers of this product? If so, how long would you wait between coats? Thanks in advance! I’ve already ordered one bottle but I’m thinking I need to order another bottle to make sure I have enough, and at that point I’ll use whatever I have left to do a second layer on certain areas or the whole car if it lasts.
One layer is all that is required. I think I remember they said you could apply a second layer, but I don’t remember any other details. Perhaps write to them and ask.
@@PanTheOrganizer I will do that, thank you Pan!
I usually end polishing with the kochchemi micro cut . Do you recommend anything else to polish with before applying a coating ? I just bought the coating in the link and thanks for the video. Appreciate if you can answer this for me
Kock Chemie micro cut is the bomb, very good polish, that's what I use prior to coating.
Hey Pan! I’m in between Roar coatings or Duraslic HG? Which one would have the best value? Which would do you prefer after using both?
Best value the HG takes it as it’s much less expensive and only requires one layer.
The Roar Coating is a two-part system, and yes will perform better and likely last longer, but it takes more experience to apply, more time and coats more.
Time will tell, but regardless of which one you pick, both are excellent picks. Traditionally only available to pro detailers, only available to my viewers for a limited time.
Hi Pan, can this coating be applied to trim, plastics PPF? Thanks in advance
DuraSalic says that it can be applied to paint, glass, plastic trim, wheels and lights (not recommended on chrome surfaces).
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for replying. Hey just an FYI I applied the Cerakote to my wife’s Audi Q5 prior to selling in a week ago and had fantastic results. I applied at 60 degrees F and 40% humidity and waited the suggested 5 minutes and possibly a touch longer. But I applied it really heavily I’d say 45 ml to complete. I’m in South Louisiana (we had a front move through and I have semi controlled environment (38f outside) it looked great and responded to the first was as you would expect.
Oh good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience. So no issues after a few washes?
Yeah it seems to be doing great in some weather/conditions and not so great in other situations. But the brand will address this and update the coating with new curing mechanisms so it should be ok for everyone once the new version gets sent out.
I think some people just overly put drama and conspiracy theories where there was just something the brand needed to tweak. Because if the durability is there, overall the gloss, slickness and hydrophobic properties are very very good and it’s super easy to apply. 👍🏻
No issues after 2 (then I sold it, Bought a Range Rover Sport PS400 putting HG on it this weekend) but the weather was good. Have to say that was easier to put on and leveling that putting on ole Jescar Powerlock sealant. The looks and gloss were fantastic. The only thing I thing I did differently that I’ve seen was I left it on until I felt and initial slight grab before leveling, maybe I was a little insecure with how slight it is to remove. I agree, people are just too competitive. Your interview with the CEO was fantastic. You can see his a great leader and takes responsibility. With that kind of leadership, allocation of resources and accountability they will get it right.
Amazing review, as always Pan! Thanks for bringing this to us and for making it available for us to purchase. I recently applied Glassparency’s Graphene Coating to my SQ8. What do think about applying this on top of that coating?
Would you put this on the black sections by the windows?
Yes
I bought a bottle. Can I apply this to the glass? Thanks in advance Pan.
Hi Roger. It can be applied to paint, glass, plastic trim, wheels and lights.
@@PanTheOrganizer
Thanks Pan. I figured you could much like other coatings. I've mainly used G-Techiq CSL and EXO. This should be an up grade. Love just 1 coat too. I'm doing both my and my wife's cars this summer. Love you very informative channel.
CSL + EXO was already a 3-5 year coating, like Holy Grail. So in that sense, they are equivalent. CSL is also super slick, like Holy Grail. So you already had a very good duo.
The main advantage with Holy Grail is that it's a one layer system (compared to one layer of CSL and two layers of EXO v4) and has better hydrophobic properties.
@@PanTheOrganizer What about the oil repellency? CSL doesn't even talk about that.
I got 5 years out CSL except the lower rocker where it took a beating. Every where else held up well.
You can hear more about the DuraSlic coatings from the chemist himself in this video I made: th-cam.com/video/A8V7_HysfwA/w-d-xo.html
Pan, you reviewed lot of these what are you go to top 2 coating for 5 year product?
All my top product picks are in my popular annual car detailing products awards video here: th-cam.com/video/gRwsznwfTwE/w-d-xo.html
You don't apply it to the windows? I guess just get rain x for them?
I've learned a lot from your videos and have had great results with my 2 daily driver cars, but I haven't seen much on how to care for my old car. I have a 66 Vette that was painted in the early 70s and I don't believe it has a clear coat. Can you do a video specific for this kind of vehicle?
Pan, great video! I'm interested to know if the water spotting is less noticeable with the Extreme HG version vs. the Extreme. I have applied Extreme on 3 cars, and the water spotting is pretty bad. Have a great day, thanks!
FlowX was created as a topper for Xtreme 1500 and that should help you.
But yes I’m told that Holy Grail is much less prone to water spotting.
Hi Pan. What is the best coating for maximum gloss?
This is certainly one of them. Gyeon Pure as well. See my video here: th-cam.com/video/w_dpnJH_Mz0/w-d-xo.html
Sorry I'm new to this- few years worth of slickness, does the ceramic coating prevent environmental fallout from attaching to the paint?
No coating can prevent that. What good coatings do is make washing the vehicle a lot easier. And the slickness also helps with helping your mitt and microfiber drying towel to glide better and thus reduce the chances of marring.
@@PanTheOrganizer IC, so do you perform contaminant removal in between if you feel the grit build up on your finish or just leave it until the coating has lost effectiveness and require a new coat?
So is this better than the Gyeon from your other video on how to choose a coating? I am trying to decide between this, Gyeon and Adams Advanced but I just keep seeing positives on all of them. This one is the only one that you stated was a one coat though so maybe that is my answer.
Gyeon and DuraSlic are both better than the Adam’s in my opinion.
I believe the Adams Advanced is the best coating available to consumers, by a long shot. Besides DuraSlic, which can be purchased by non-professionals thanks to Pan. I am currently trying to decide between Adams Advanced and DuraSlic HG for my incoming 2024 Mustang GT. I have used Adams Advanced and it is flat out amazing, so I should just go back to that one because I know how well it works, but...this DuraSlic Xtreme HG looks to be very good as well. Tough choice, but those are the two best options IMO.
What happens if you buy a brand new vehicle ? Do you still have to go thru all the prep steps ?
Yes, absolutely. A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car from two of my customers:

Does this coating have less high spots than car pro uk quarts
Yes.
Application was a breeze.. How soon can I apply Flow X?
Wait two weeks after the coating's application at this point (I'm assuming it was done a few days ago) and then you can start washing your car again, and apply a layer of FlowX.
My car have PPF at the front bumper, It's okay if I applied the product .
Of course.
Wake the f#ck up.
Yes
Pan, can DuraSlic HG be used to coat practically everything on the car? Including body paint, wheels, glass, and plastic trim? I don’t see any information on this from their website. Please help, thank you
Hi Jonathan. In the video, as well as in the description under the video, I gave the answer to your question: " it can be applied to paint, glass, plastic trim, wheels and lights (not recommended on chrome surfaces)".
Can this be used on a normal standard vehicle? Or does the vehicle need to be ceramic coated in order for me to use this product.
This is a ceramic coating. And you have to apply this on a vehicle that doesn’t have a ceramic coating. It needs to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. Hence why you prep the paint to make sure it’s squeaky clean.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of ceramic coatings, but isn’t it a false claim to say that it lasts 7 years when you have to apply a topper every year?
Hey Pan, since this is no longer available unless you're certified, what is a comparable "prosumer" coating to this? I'm really pleased with the duraslick HG, but I have another car to coat. How does diy detail C6 lite compare? Thanks for your help!
This is likely the best right now: bit.ly/3yeW0Wh
@PanTheOrganizer can this and the app be used on ppf as well or is the app just used on paint?
