I really like how simple the whole diy gold standard system is, especially for someone like me who doesn’t have a ton of polishing experience.
everything about DIY Detail is nice.
I like the multi-functional aspect of it.
It’s my new go to for almost everything.
DiyD GSP is my go to for 2 or 3 step on a modern car / paint. For other situations I have a couple products on Pan's counter as you should have an arsenal handy. My favorite aspects aside from the results is insane working time, efficiency, lack of sling mess, trim stain and fairly easy removal. The fact that you just change pads / machine and continue through the steps only spraying more GSP, wipe off once is really awesome. No need to wipe off each step, reprime a new step pad, etc. That being said it is also machine + pad dependent and that means you gotta buy more tool. They are typically making those ultra fast results using their 21..25mm orbital and the flex rotary, which is not something the average weekend warrior is going to have. I'm still using a big 🥣 to wash pads instead of the lc4000. You will be there a lot longer with regular 8mm gear if anything more than light correction is needed. Once I invested in the tools I started seeing the efficiency and crazy gloss. Polishing for me is now therapeutic as applying wax as everything is no pressure and just gliding the machine around for like 2-3 passes.
@@holelee7834 yeah I have an 8mm right now. I use it for paint enhancements/coating prep, not necessarily correction. I will probably pick up their 25mm machine when it becomes available
Absolutely agreed, its very simple but excellent results
I was using the 3D 500 yesterday in full sun on a black car to hand rubb off excess scratch sealant.
Lubricity and working time was excellent. Clean up as well.
I really like how PAn not only gives us great info on each product but also encourages us to do us and try what works for us. Thanks Pan!
You bet!! How did you discover my channel by the way?

You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
@@PanTheOrganizer been following you for 2 years now!
I'm a weekend warrior since the 1970s and have tried many products. The most recent was the 3D 1 hybrid on a well cared for 20 year old paint with some cob web effect. It was a very satisfying experience, and I received positive comments from two professionals. I'm looking forward to the next PTO video installment.
I used to watch silly memes, trolls and news on TH-cam which used to make me feel anxious and tired. I gave car detailing a shot and found pan's channel. I find car cleaning and detailing to be the most underrated but greatly satisfying hobby and the way pan explains the details and intricacies, it's just awesome. Thank you pan 😊😊

Pan, What you stated about Carpro Ultracut is absolutely true. In most cases, you do not need to polish.
Thanks!
So interesting! I have a video about this coming out next week! Exactly what I talk about! Thanks for sharing Pan!
Cool! I’m looking forward to watching your video Phil! 😁👍🏻
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks man. That D300 Correction Compound kit from Megs was my first ever kit I bought to do a 2 step correction on a Maserati! Love that D300 to this day!
Yeah it's still a classic for sure. That entire microfiber DA system was a home run! Jason Rose had helped to develop it, and he's now global trainer at Rupes, and they also have killer compounds/polishes/pads!
Jescar correcting compound has provided consistent results without a lot of hazing. But now you’ve given me others to try. 😅
Big thanks for all advice on car detailing. I’ve just started out on trying polishing so enjoying all your videos on products on polishers big thanks from Scotland.

The amount of real world experience and knowledge you have is incredible; I am going through a lot of your vids and absorbing as much as i can.
Thanks for the positive feedback once again. It's nice to see my viewers always learning new things through my videos. :)
I've always gotten great results with 3D One Hybrid coumpound and polish. A 2-in-1 depending on the pad you're using! It delivers an exceptional high gloss finish 👌
Thank you, Pan, for another awesome video! I enjoy Apex details videos as well.
More to come!
Agreed. Apex puts out great content!
Everyone has seen those super faded red paints, or heavily swirled black paints. Compounds are so essential to remove the big defects. Awesome information packed video Pan, as always❤.
Thanks Konsta!
@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻❤️
I recently used Scholls Concept S20 and followed it with their W6 sealant. So far so good, it's been 2 months. I enjoy the Ultracut and the H9 using either a microfiber or wool pads. Enjoying your channel and continue educating us weekend warriors on product review.
I was given the KCH902 recently to try. Great cut with microfiber lake country pad, best for med to soft clear coat, the 3D aca500 is what I lean too for harder clearcoats with a wool pad, and my overall favorite compound for all applications is A50 by Feynlab with a microfiber pad.
You helped me to save a lot of money, after all these years watching your channel , now i can do myself all these things to my car, detailing, polishing, deep cleaning etc. , thank you for being here Pan , i hope one day i can meet you ❤
Great to hear! Thanks for the positive feedback Adrian!
Me too. I just machine polished and ceramic coated my 4Runner myself. I wanted to use certain products on it so I did it myself and it cane out great thanks to Pan. It took me about 14 hours over two days.
Love Brian and his Shop manager (Sissy). Pan and Brian I’ve learned so much from . Been watching you both since 2019👀👌🫡
Nice to see long term viewers still around! You have always been faithful to my channel David, and it's much appreciated. You see me evolve over the years as well, and I still have that same crazy passion for detailing! :)
Thank you Pan. You are helping us a lot as usual. You keep it simple the way I like. I'm only a week end warrior with not a lot of experience in polishing. I'm learning slowly practicing on my cars. I did learn very much on tools, techniques & products following your channel. Keep it up this way!! Well done and many thanks!!!
Thank you Pan for doing this review. I had been using Adam’s compounds since I started paint correcting and ceramic 2 years ago had worked quite well for me but in last couple months had run into a couple gm blacks with super soft clear. So I did some research and got me several different pad and compound combinations to have and try and several of them were on your video. Look so forward to all your videos but definitely the ones on compounds etc.
At the moment i’m in love with the rupes D-A corsa high preformance. On the harder paints like Audi and Bmw in combination with a hybrid DA whool/MF pad you can get amazing and stuning results
We are lucky to have so many compounds and polishes on the market. I have Koch products, Phoenix products, 3D, and the Gold Standard. There are so many other great products out there but I simply do not have room for them all. Meguiars 205 and 210 plus Turtle Wax are good choices too. For me when I am spinning the polisher I focus on temperature first being sure not to swell the metal panel, primer, base coat, and clearcoat. Apex recently did a video showing how different polishers and pads can spike temperatures. Thank you for another great video and I will be looking forward to the next all in one battle.
You are simply the best! I’ve started researching and doing my own paint correction from what I’ve been able to learn from your videos 😊
Thanks for the feedback Samuel. Glad to see you are learning by watching my videos. How did you discover my channel by the way?

I planned to paint correct my car in the next few days and then this blessing shows up! Perfect timing.
Cool! It's like I read your mind hehe. Did you watch my popular paint correction tutorial? Here: th-cam.com/video/ustTEVGMOTI/w-d-xo.html
After trying every compound I could get my hands on there is one true winner, Koch Chemi! The KC left the best clarity, depth and gloss in my opinion. Thanks for a great video Pan.
Thanks for sharing!
Any video?
Menzerna 400 on soft Kia paint is fantastic. My coworker uses it with rotary and lambswool pad followed by 3500 with a black waffle pad. I'm envious of the results he gets.
I bet it's super glossy. I still have my old Menzerna FG400, PF2500, and SF4000.
I am not a professional but DIY guy. Among a few compounds that I have tried, the best one was Farecla G360 Super Fast Compound. It worked the best for my BMW F30 with Black Sapphire color.
Really enjoyed this type of video! Thank you Pan! Hope to see more of this type of videos for different type of products.
More to come!
I have always used meguiars ultimate cut compound. Never disappointed with the results.
Another classic!
Only problem with Megs is the dusting. Also the work time. I used to use that. Until I tried 3D products. I still have Megs on my truck, but I never use it.
On softer paint, I've had great luck with Carpro Ultracut paired with Rupes Yellow foam. You still get great cut, but also a good finish with the diminishing abrasives when you work it out a bit longer.
Thanks for sharing!
totally agree, i have done one step on my 2018 Camry with Ultracut with Rupes yellow foam.
Taking about getting the smallest bottles to try the compound is a very good option and keep it if you liked the product to fill it up when you go for the bigger bottle to keep things more comfortable
Always enjoy your content. Compounds and polishes have come a long way. Thanks for bringing us this production. Can’t wait for part two. Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks for watching!
I've always had great experience cutting with ACA500. It's a great compound
Me too.
@@kimnewling5728 it's good stuff!
It sure is!
Agreed
It's funny what you mention at the end. I was saying while I'm watching this that you should make this a 2/3 part video with polish and all in one. Do you think that this Meguiars is better then their Ultimate compound? I've used 3D one followed by carpro essence a few times and have gotten perfect results. Another great video. Thanks Pan!
You'd be nitpicking between the Ultimate Compound and the DA Microfiber Compound in my opinion. Both are classics at this point for DIYers.
Can't wait for your favorite polishes video, Pan!
Stay tuned! What's your favourite polish?
Thanks for the upload Pan, Scholl Concepts S2 Black is my go to.
Thanks for watching!
The Optimum Hyper Polish and the new revision 5 Hyper Compound are my current go to
Being able to use a sprayer is such a game changer. Saves a bit if time but keeps you in “flow”. I actually spray the compound into the paint in straight lines (2 sprays per panel). After blowing out the pad i just throw the polisher back on through paint. Dint have to completely stop the pad, pull out polish shake it, drop polish on pad etc. and there very very effective
I've also been using this combo more than anything else lately.
I still enjoy breaking oit the old school Meguiar's and Menzerna, but when it comes to making money, it's the Optimum or 3D.
Pan the man! We do appreciate all the pro tips😎 I seriously don’t know where I’d be without your videos! You helped me get where I am today and you’re helping me get to where I want to be❤️ If you’re a “detailer” and don’t know about pan are you really a detailer, or are you just a car cleaner?🧐😂

How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer just buy searching for anything detailing related.
I second the Jescar Correcting Compound. For the most part, I’ll follow up with Sonax Perfect Finish and the yellow Rupes pad.
Typically what pad do you use with the jescar? Wool, microfiber, or foam? Thanks. I know it all depends on level of correction need but just wondering what works best with the product typically
@@claudeyarborough7532 Usually the Maguiars cutting disk. It does leave a bit of a haze on dark cars so it does require a two-step.
The Meguires compound works the best on a 2012 Scirocco. I used Koch Chemie and I didn't get the same finish. Very true about finding the right compound for your car. Koch chemie works well on touching up a 2022 Mazda CX-9.
Yiasou, Pan! I would love to see a tutorial on polishing chrome, whether true chrome or chrome-plated plastic. The chrome accents and door handles on my Tesla Model S are scratched up, but I'm afraid of damaging it to the point that the underlying material shows through.
Also, I use Adam's for polishing. I love their blue compound and white polishing systems, I find it works well on my soft clear coat.
Cheers! 🎉
My detailers with there business prefer 3D with the right pads to getting great results. I think it comes down to prices when comes to what products will get the most attention as the best choice.
Thanks for sharing.
This is superb channel on this topic. I have zero experience on this and I wanted to polish my car and came into this channel by happenstance, I'm glad I ran into it. Lots and lots of information, which is great. I have to check the other two channels to see hands-on practice. Thank you so much for creating this channel. Will be looking for more episodes. 😊

Nice to see updates of your favorites! Looking forward to the next video(s) on other levels of polish.
Thanks Shanna!
The D300 is a very underrated compound. The first compound I ever used, very forgiving and easy to use, works well under higher temperatures. The wipe down was also much easier compared to 3D One. The koch chemie H9 was a disappointment. I couldn't get out certain defects with it but a local brand compound that I had managed to remove it.
Griots boss severe damage correction with a wool pad. Then follow up with the Griot's 3-in-1 using an orange pad. I'm a DIY guy and my neighbors were thinking I was some kind of a pro it made the paint look so good and had such deep depth. But Griot's 3-in-1 works really good and it gives a very nice finish.
Nice guidance on that category, as always. Thanks, Pan.
Glad it was helpful!
Good Saturday Pan. Carpro, Extreme Solutions 3-2-1, DIY, Sonax Cut Max, and Phoenix EOD Papa Cut are my go to products. Of course it’s a always based on the quality of the paint. Pad combination helps.
I used griots garage correction cream followed by sonex perfect finish on my 2015 scion (toyota) tc and it worked great. I used them on rupes pads and I have a flex Da polisher
Great vid very helpful, very surprised that Menzerna 400 did not make your list ,I recently bought 3D compound in your vid I was super impressed with it great cutting easy to work with especially with a wool pad and rotary love watching your vids
Menzerna is used more in Europe, and the American importer of Menzerna is Jescar. Both have similar ranges of products, both very good. ;)

They prob didn’t pay him
I like Meguiars M110. It cuts quite well, even with a short stroke DA, but the most impressive part of that product is the finish it gives, even with a rather coarse MF-pad. I've learned from this video that CP Ultracut also finishes down quite well. If Ultracut provides a little more cut than M110 in certain scenarios and finishes down equally...hmmm...well then I probably have a new go-to-compound 😊 But I have to test on several cars first, of course 😊 Thank you for a great video, I look forward to the next one 😊🇳🇴
I love BOTH of those compounds. They reminded me of one another.
Hi Pan definitely agree with your endorsement for Sandro. His videos are a perfect balance of production values, techniques and product information. His 50/50 polishing demos are amazing. Like many consumer users, I will be particularly looking forward to your review of one-step products.
Thanks for watching Paul!
Those Rupes compounds / Polishes are underrated IMO. I've had amazing results with them. By changing pads I've been able to get the results I'm after from them
non-diminishing grains. 👍
Yes their system of liquids and pads is pretty amazing.
Subscribed a couple of days ago. Surprized I did find your channel sooner. Greaty apprecate your videos. I switched from Meguires 105 to 3M Perfect-It EX AC rubbing compound. Finish with their Prefect- It EX Ultrafine polish. Get great results on my Volvo's and Ford truck.

@PanTheOrganizer Found your channel from watching DIY Detail, Ammo NYC and the Detail Geek.
Great series, Pan. I'm a polishing geek. I do it for fun as well as a way to make money.
Because of this, I'll always have more than one set of polishes at any given time. I'm nostalgic for Meguiar's, so they're always going to be "around."
However, as far as compounds, I prefer - 3D ACA500 and Optimum Hyper Compound V5. If I had to pick just one, it would probably be 3D ACA500. That being said, I'm usually able to get 3D ONE to get enough cutting done in more situations than not.
Honorable mentions:
Meguiar's M110
Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
Meguiar's D300
Jescar Correcting Compound
CarPro UltraCut
Sonax Ultimate Cut
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
What machine polishers do you like using?
GREAT explanations, and really high-quality lineup, Pan! Hope you get a chance to try Phoenix EOD PapaCut sometime. The Scholl Concepts Is great as well, not a lot of lubrication for outdoor or sun use, but really nice. Also, PolishAngel Master Compound cuts very strong & is a pleasure to use. 😊
Hi Tim!
Thank you Tim! Yes the Phoenix EOD is another good one. I knew I likely forgot a few here. It's overwhelming the choices we have nowadays haha.
Agree Titan Tim! Papcut is great all around compound and its my go-to for alot of enhancements. Great video as always Pan. 🎉
Thanks! :) I hope you are having a great weekend!
@@kimnewling5728 hello Kim, hope you’re doing well!! 😊
Hey Pan, got an idea for a video. I'm a busy guy as most are, I want to go through the process of a possible 2 step correction and a ceramic coating but I know I won't be able to pull it off in a day and will have to drive the car for a day maybe 2 or 3 until I can continue. I clay bared and did a decon around 1.5 month ago. I wash the vehicle weekly. What's your opinion on the complete process with gaps in between steps. Maybe a video. Thanks love the channel
I have only tried five of those products and of the five products I definitely think the koch heavy cut H9.02 must be the best of them. Greetings Brian from Denmark
Thanks for sharing!!
I've gotta say, KCX micro cut is a favourite polish for me, paintwork alway looks like liquid afterwards, that's before a coating is applied. I can't think how products can be improved upon these days 🙌
Pan I used the Sonax Perfect finish cut 4 & 6 max gloss for well maintained daily drivers. Not the Sonax you talked about but thought it was worth mentioning.
I really enjoy listening to your insight 👊
Thanks Bryan!
Zivzzer compound is great compound to try💪
Hey Pam amazing video man thanks for taking your time to help us understand y can’t wait for All in one best compound video hurry up!!
So I correct paint mostly outside in your opinion sonax would be the way to go?
Looking forward to this series. Great video!
Awesome, thank you! More to come!
Koch Chemie M3.02 polish and pad combo is my go to and has worked amazing on my current and previous mustang. Did my brand new 2024 Mustang GT Performance Pack before PPF and she’s slick. Carbonized Gray Metallic. Good video Pan!
Thanks Dakota!
We love that H9.02, one of our go-to products. Another amazing one (especially for RV and marine, but also great to automotive) is Starke Yacht Care compounds and polishes.
Yeah the H9.02 is a sweet update on the original formula. Had you tried the H9.01 in the past?
@@PanTheOrganizer yes we’ve used both. One of our go to! If you haven’t, test out Starke Yacht Care lineup, Level R, Elevate, Ignition, and Triple P.
Great informative video Pan, thanks. I have been trying 3M Perfect-It Fast Cut Plus Extreme recently and found it to be very good with Menzerna red pads. Also, glad you gave a shout out to Sandro. I stumbled across his channel many years ago and rate him very highly, but I have never spoken to anyone who is aware of him.
Thanks Kenny! I like to give shoutouts and support other content creators that are doing positive things for the detailing community, and Sandro is one of them. Perhaps he and I will do a collab one day. I am the channel that has done the most collabs with other channels so far, as I like to offer my platform to help smaller channels grow, when I see they are doing good things for the community. I like to give back to the detailing community.
Great video, 3d aca500 isn’t actually that expensive, when you look at 32oz bottles which most pros will buy it actually is one of the cheapest. You can get it for 59.99 cad and most of the others are in the 79.99-99.99 range online
aca500 is a game changer. love all the 3d products. 3d one is a perfect one stepper with a medium to harsh pad
AAT502 is an excellent finisher too.
Awesome video Pan!
Is the carPro ultra cut and reflect safe on trim? Does it stain trim? I don’t prefer to tape
Excellent video pan! I started out with meguiars products and the G110 v2 as a lot of other people did. Then moving on to flex machines & the menzerna line. Currently I have rupes & flex, & my go to compounds are from sonax & 3D. Although as mentioned with the thinner clear coats we're going more for a one step or a paint enhancements. 👍🏼🇨🇦
Thanks!
I have used 6 of the products that you presented today. I have used them several times on several different vehicles. They all have their pros and cons and all 6 do a great job when coupled with the appropriate pad but unfortunately as you know its not a one size fits all proposition. With that being said, for the hobby DIY people if they use a system like Rupes or Meguiars where they match the appropriate compound with the corresponding pad it takes much of the guess work out of it. For me on a one step process the Griots correction cream on a Griots orange pad can do quite well for the average person on a daily driver but I have become a pretty big fan of the Rupes compounds & polishes matched with color matched Rupes pads. Great video though and very informative.
Oh shoot! The ins and outs! Thanks pan!
You bet! :)
Hi Pan, I was about to mention Scholl when you mentioned it yourself! They're German and I like their product and pads very much. I would be interested to see what you make of it sometime?
I hear that brand often mentioned by my viewers in Europe.
I'm a fan of 3M . Well priced and does the job .
Hi Pan, love the video. Was really looking forward to this series of videos.
Now questions for you or the rest of the group of enthusiasts. I have a Mischievous Purple Mustang GT (semi-exclusive color that has color shifting properties from Ford, model year 2023). I coated the car with AvalonKing ArmorShield IX shortly after picking the car up. I'm looking to paint correct the car in the early spring and apply a new ceramic coat (impart the due to the abuse of the construction and rain in the area has really impacted the coating).
What compounds or polishes would y'all recommend using for removing the remaining coating, give a slight enhancement to the paint, and could possibly be used as hand polish (as I might not be able to stretch for a good machine battery polisher and I live in an apartment complex)?
Good question
Forget hand polishing, that will get you nowhere, especially not to remove an old coating. The only way to ensure 100% removal is by machine polishing. A light polish like Sonax Perfect Finish and Rupes yellow foam pad should be enough. The way to know is when you are done polishing, do the IPA wipe with a paint prep spray, then check water behaviour. If the water is slow to sheet and just pools, you removed the coating. If there is still tons of beading, you need to perhaps move to a heavier cutting polish or compound.
@PanTheOrganizer will do. Guess I'll save for one of the battery-powered units then (probably Milwaukee). I only applied the one layer, and given I'm in southeast Michigan, I'm not sure how much longer the coat will last since getting to a public self wash is pretty hard with my schedule / weather. I'll obviously assess when I go to do the deed 🫡
I follow you from Thailand. Learn a lot from you 'Pan' about car detailing. Hope to have a chance to meet you. You are my idol.
Thanks Ekarintra!! I hope to visit Thailand one day!

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you so much for your reply. Please let me know if you will be visiting Thailand, I show you around.
An EXCELLENT video Pan. Very detail oriented and well arranged.
Would you have any idea which category of clear coat Ford vehicles from the mid 2000s classify as?
Thank you! I haven't detailed many Ford vehicles and the only way to really know if a paint is soft, medium, or hard is to do panel tests. As I said, some car manufacturers can change paint supplies even within the same production year, even on the same model. So it's impossible for anyone to know all the makes, models, paint hardnesses, compound/polish pads combos, by heart. Impossible. We would die trying haha.
Would you consider offering in person seminars on detailing? Getting hands on instruction on things like paint correction would be SOOO useful.
I used to give some trainings to large groups in the past, but now my channel is taking up so much of my time it would be near impossible.
Thank you for your wealth of information and the hard work you put into your videos! I knew nothing about detailing before i started watching your videos. Now my car looks pretty darn good thanks to you. I would love to hear your opinion on collinite S-845 the spray speed wax
Thanks man!
I have a black Nissan 370Z that has had a three-stage paint correction and the Opticoat Pro + ceramic coating. My cutting and polishing compounds of choice are the Meguiar's M-110 & M-210 respectively, both applied by hand. I had used the M-105 previously as a cutting compound but found it difficult to work with, in that it dried quickly and was next to impossible to remove if left to completely dry and harden.
I'm especially interested in finding out what you, Pan, might consider as the polish best suited for use as a final jeweling polish. What I'm looking for is an ultra fine grit pure polish that would remove polishing haze from a previous polishing stage.
Great question! I have tried several of the softest pads with both CarPro Reflect and CarPro Essence Plus. I have yet to think I’m seeing any difference with the jeweling process. I would love his perspective.
Phoenix Eod Fabulous Finishing Polish has worked well for me. And Sonax Perfect Finish. Both are very pad dependent. I've had almost zero noticeable results with super super soft pads. A medium /Low foam pad has worked great. Like 2 steps up from the softest you can get. But I'm also talking about normal people cars lol. Haven't done a Lambo or anything. The results have been great for a person with normal expectations
Another great video Pan ! My favorite compounds are Rupes DA Coarse, KCX H9O1 (I didn't buy the 02 version yet) and Sonox Cutmax but my bottle is old. I love the Rupes DA Coarse but like you said it dusts a little too much for me but it does work great. I am excited to try out a new bottle of the Sonax Cutmax due to little to no dusting and discard my older bottle. I may even try the 3D one..... Thanks for the advice and I will be ordered Cutmax shortly.
Thanks Tom!!
Great Video Pan! What kind of paint does Nissan put onto the vehicles. I have a 2019 Nissan Altima. I'm a weekend warrior. Been watching your videos for about two years or less. Just gotten back into auto detailing. Back in the 80's when I was auto detailing but there is lots of stuff now.
Thanks Shawn!
used Meguiar’s DMCKIT5 correction compound on 2006 Honda truck with Meg's DA Microfiber Cutting Discs - owner was in awe of the results - finished off with included wax/finishing disc

Hey Pan what’s the best products to care for my 83 ElCamino that’s ceramic coated vinyl wrapped?
Hey pan - I’ve been really loving Angelwax resurrection, h902 and have been testing out Dr Beasley nsp150 they changed the formula so it’s Easier and cuts hard. Thanks for the video
Yesssss! I tested Angelwax compounds and polishes years ago and they were quite good indeed! The Dr Beasley's NSP will be featured in an upcoming video on all in ones and primers, etc.
@@PanTheOrganizer 🫶🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great video! Curious though, why never any mention of the 3M products like perfect-it line?
I only have experience with Rupes. It does a great job but it seems to have a short working time and starts dusting. Will try other brands in the future from this line-up. Thanks!

It must be or old school probably me, but only thing I get good results with is mcgiuers 205. Used to use 105 then 205 ,but on my 18 worrying I’ll cut to much clear. So before ceramic coating I just hit with 205. Thanks Pan
Hello Pan une video reussie tu parle et explique pour tout le monde du simple debutant en passant par les passionnes et les professionnels toujours au top 👍👍👍
Merci Sebastien!
I have a vintage car with a recent (1.5 yrs) single coat paint. There is no clear coat. Which polish / compound would you or could you use. Ex Montrealer, long time viewer. Great channel!😊
Hi Pan . first of all,great video!
I would love to see when you could review the compounds and polishes of the Scottish brand “absolutewax “. They are exceptional in my opinion , leave a great finish even the aggressive one .

Hi Pan, Great video ;). Have you had a chance to use Herrenfahrt or Zvizzer products ? I picked up some of the X-cut 1000 and 2000 for crazy cheap price. Made in Germany and bottling seems high quality. Yet to try it out though. If you haven't tried Scholl you will just love it, but 3D is starting to stand out from the crowd I feel.
Thanks! I have never heard of the two brands you mention. Don't think we get those in Canada.
This is easy for me, Garage, control environment, 2x Liquid Element Polisher, and, of course, Gyeon, in all his 4 Step Polish und their Pads. For ME, the absolut best..😇 Black Pearl Paint 😳😇
another great video! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pan, thanks for all the video. I know you love what you do,and know it took time to try all the products you reviewed. Gyeon,p&s work for me.Now I want to strip the ceramic off of mine and redo nothing wrong but want a better paint correction job. Do you have any suggestions on other ceramic I should check out price doesn't matter. Thanks and keep up the good work.Jimmy from Madison Nc

Hi Pan, I am searching for a new DA polisher and I was wondering if you tested the DA Polishers for Milwaukee. I am curious to hear your opinion on that.
Rupes Flex or Maxshine!
I sure did. Here: th-cam.com/video/oiMMEOdXAbE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ACfsw0eww0MbNcDx
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan, I just finished viewing that video and will definitely treat myself to another polisher for Xmas. I already have the Pixie by Flex but this time around, I will buy the Milwaukee polisher as I have several Milwaukee tools and batteries. Joyeux Noel mon ami!
Hey Pan! Got a quick question for you. I own a mobile detailing company and we ceramic coat around 8 cars or boats a week. We have always used 3m compound and polish with some really good results. Just wondering what you think about these? I would like to venture out and try different products that may work better. Thanks in advance my friend and another video you knocked out of the park! 👍
Thanks! I don’t use 3M products. Perhaps I’ll look into their range one day.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan!
Dont want to step on Pans toes here but I used 3M exclusively while at a local bodyshop (Dent Wizard I ran the finishing department, wetsanding etc) and when I started my detail studio I continued my usual process and then discovered they have fillers in their compound and polish. I’m not sure if you’re using a rotary (if you’re working with gel coat I would assume so) but I had grad results with Sonax Ultimate Cut for compounding and Sonax Perfect Finish with the rotary and I love the Menzerna/Jescar line for compound with a DA and Koch Chemie as well. If you’re not doing any heavy wet sanding I would definitely recommend any of those to move on from the 3M line. Hope this helps. Love the content Pan!
Hello Pan,
Thank you for all of this information!
Question for you, and sorry If I missed the video that answers my question. Have you tested 3D Bead It Up ?
I haven't yet.
Hey Pan is there a general rule of thumb if how many times a vehicle can be 2 stage corrected before it’s getting dangerous? I heard Yvan say a vehicle should only be corrected once. Is that true?
Good question
I don't think Yvan would say exactly that. I think what he means is once a vehicle is corrected and a good protection is applied, it shouldn't need to be polished again for a long time if you use safe washing and drying techniques. I share the same opinion. You want to preserve as much clear coat as possible as paints are getting thinner and thinner from manufacturers.
That being said, one could do a light polish once a year or two without having to worry about significantly diminishing the clear coat layer. A paint depth gauge can confirm you are only removing a very thin layer when polishing.
It's the more aggressive compound and perhaps water sanding for those who need it that truly removes more material.
@@PanTheOrganizer ok. Thanks for the reply Pan!
