Imagine dating a guy who’s whole thing on TH-cam is having nice clean looking car and he hasn’t washed yours in a month. I’d steal his quarters.
Im high and just messing. Love this channel
Ahahhaahahah thanks Effing!
Graphene is the future. By now all the companies are inserting it among their products. I really love the performance of graphene
Thanks for watching!
This makes me feel good about the Adam’s graphene ceramic I put on my car a few weeks ago! Thanks for the update video🤘🏼
Thanks for watching Kev!
did you put a topper? i will be putting same coating as well
Thanks!
Thanks Michael!
Always a great day when Pan uploads. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Ohhhh the "Spring clean" here in the North American climate....
Inside and out is many projects. It makes one REALLY appreciate when it gets to maintenance mode! Thanks Pan for showing good techniques and products to get down to CLEAN!
Thanks Audie! Have a great day!
I wish you would review outdoor car covers. I spend 5 months a year up in the White Mtns of AZ without a carport or garage. It is so confusing and frustrating to get facts on car covers. My big worry is hail damage to the aluminum hood & roof of my 2010 BMW Z4. Trying to determine the cover with the best protection (padding) is almost impossible. I would trust your reviews and comments over random "verified purchase" comments and reviews that we know can be fraudulent. Keep up the GREAT work, I recommend you to everyone I can.
Thanks Jack! I appreciate the support. 😁👍🏻
Great illustration of how a proper wash improves a coating.
Merci Pan
Thanks! It's important to let my viewers know that a coating isn't necessarily "dead" just because it doesn't bead anymore. If the coating was properly applied, and properly maintained, and is still within its durability claims, it's probably just "clogged" and need a good decon wash.
Yes
You are just awesome like that. With video and sound quality as high as possible just so easy to understand.
Best wishes to you and your family
Thanks!! Have a great rest of your week.
Great video Pan! Really shows the need for consistent maintenance on these ceramic coatings. They are NOT completely set and forget products. You still need to do regular maintenance!
Absolutely. There's not such thing as set it and forget in the detailing world. Traffic film alone will clog any protection. So maintenance is key. The protection is still there, but you need to help it achieve its max performance level and durability.
Spot on Pan. Great coating maintenance plan and accurate information. Great job!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
Fantastic demonstration on the importance of cleaning and maintaining a Ceramic Coating Pan! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! Yup, maintenance is key.
Hello Paaaaann !!!
L'hydrophobicité est une tuerie !!!
Merci de ravir nos pupilles 😉
😎😄👍🏻
Glad to see the Adam's Advanced Graphene Coating is doing well. I ordered their kit to put on my new car when it arrives, so I was hoping it would keep doing well. The car won't be a daily driver, but I'm still looking for something that performs well. Had CarPro CQuartz U.K. 3.0 on my previous weekend car, and really liked it, but wanted to try something different on this new vehicle.
Yup, so far so good!
Loved this video so much!!! Great job again Pan!!!
Thanks Gabe!
Another awesome video, Pan. I just installed this coating on our brand new car a few days ago and I’m very happy with it. Thanks to all your help, it made for a great weekend project!
Great to hear! What new car did you get? Congrats!
@@PanTheOrganizer a 2022 Subaru Outback! The coating looks amazing on all the plastic cladding and roof rails.
Can't wait just ordered it going to put it on my truck and when my wife's new car comes, it will go on it too

@@PanTheOrganizer when i got my 2020 f250 platinum i wanted to keep it looking good so i was looking up how to on TH-cam
Thanks for the feedback!
Wow, the Rogue looks so super glossy😱. Great work Pan, as always!
Thanks Konsta! My girlfriend really appreciates driving a clean vehicle. :)
@@PanTheOrganizer I totally agree👍🏻
I really like Carpro Reset. Fun video Pan.
Thanks for watching!
It would be awesome if you did a full video on a bunch of different popular brands of graphene coatings & what would be the pro+cons of each one are, life expectancy of each one & your other info of you usually got of course! Some brands you should look into are Artdeshine, Gloss It Evo, Underdog Pro, Meguiar's M788, Legendary Car Care Graphene's Coating, Vero's sprayable graphene coating, Victory Nano graphene coating, Dura-Coating Graph-X6 & Limit Less Car Care Kevlar Graphene coating. Those are some ones I think you should do a info filled video on that would be really interesting to watch since I've havent heard much about these brands
The nissan is still looking amazing into the spring time thankfully its here. I will be considering this shampoo absolutely and this really enhanced that coating and brought it back to life. Always a great job Pan!
Thanks Sam! Did you do your spring maintenance wash ?
@@PanTheOrganizer I have that planned for this Saturday I'll have no work and can start early its gonna be good.
Pan may I ask for a recommendation for a leather coating? For leather seats or even for my computer chair. I've seen gyeon, mckees 37, carpro and chemical guys even has a sprayable but I'm not sure.
I made a video for that here: th-cam.com/video/CuN77nz8Ex8/w-d-xo.html
Now that's impressive. I would assume (to a certain extent) that the surface dirt will hide the hydrophobics of even lesser coatings or waxes. Thanks for the video, Pan.😎
That would be correct Shea. Grime and traffic film often mask the properties of any type of protection. But it's most noticeable on ceramic coatings due to their far superior hydrophobics, as soon as those are masked, the effect appears amplified.
Would you ever think of making a video for a complete start to finish basic wash, then the differences between that and a complete start to finish full blown high end detail? I'm mainly wondering, at what point is the wash "good enough" before getting to crazy expensive or time consuming. I've been loving all your videos, great job!

Salut Pan, pour répondre à ta question de savon que j’utilise, je me suis fait une recette : 65 cc de Hydro Suds + 5 cc de ONR + 50 cc d’eau dans une bouteille de 120 ml, que je rajoute à mon seau d’eau. C’est vraiment doux et glissant comme effet. 😎
That Rogue looks fabulous! I love tight beads. That coating means business.
This video inspired Me to wash My two cars. Yes,this late,lol. It rained like crazy here. The birds bombed the cars in a few spots. A bit of Topper and both cars are nice and clean. Looking forward to Saturday!!
There you go!! 😁👍🏻
Thanks for the update, been using these Adam's products for the last year.
Thanks. What’s your favourite product in their lineup so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer I actually genuinely enjoy the Graphene Shampoo, I use an IK Foam pro12 + Rinse bucket it actually foams well enough. The lubricity on the wash mitt is actually astounding I've noticed less marring on my soft Mazda clearcoat
P.S. Felicitations sur votre nouveau station francais 🇨🇦
It's about time. Next week I'm detailing my silverado.clay ,iron remover ,paint correction and the end chemical guys carbon force .I heard good things about this product.
To help inspire you to reach the next level with the Silverado, watch my Silverado Z71 detailing video: th-cam.com/video/g2FPiPkG4MI/w-d-xo.html
That detail factory tire brush is the best tire brush I've ever used. Such a simple little tool but it works perfectly.
It sure does! I agree!
I am also a fan of CarPro Reset. In addition, I firmly believe in keeping within the brand family of products, so since I have Gtechniq coating, I use their shampoo (Wash) as well. Can't go wrong with either choice!
Absolutely. All good choices.
Very informative video again. You've got me curious about Adam's products. Thanks Pan.
Glad it was helpful!
My favorite maintenance shampoo is between CarPro Reset and Gyeon Bathe. Don't know which one I like the most. They're both great.
Awesome video as always. This procedure is very similar to the one I use when I detail my car.
Thanks Jorge!
@@PanTheOrganizer Will Reset have similar results on the Adams graphene coating? I'm addicted to the smell and can't switch
Would love to see a 1 year update on this coating! Thank you Pan!
You can see the vehicle in a video here and there as it’s my girlfriend’s vehicle. I can confirm the coating is doing super well, like day 1. I’m very happy with it so far.

Hello Pan, encore une vidéo fantastique, et qui assure le suivi de l'application du produit, ce qui encourage à appliquer ce produit, qui tient toutes ses promesses. Bravo et merci 👍🙋♂
Merci!
Thanks Pan, for another great video. Always nice to see your washing process 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
I use the same maintenance routine on my adams advanced Graphene coated M3. Graphene shampoo, detail spray, and tire dressing, it’s a great product line, I’ve been very pleased with the hydrophobic properties. I have a few high spots in the coating primarily on the ppf on the hood that I still have to polish out and reapply the coating. Maybe you can do a video on how to correct high spots on coatings. Might make people less fearful in applying coatings themselves.
Good idea! Thanks for watching Brian!
Hi Pan, I’ll keep Adam’s Graphene products in mind, thank you. I’m still loving Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Infused product line.
FYI, The wheel barrel brush can scratch the paint on wheels if the rubber or plastic tip at the end of the brush becomes dislodged while using, the back and forth motion while cleaning can cause the tip to catch either on the brake rotor or the metal shield behind the rotor to knock the tip off- happened to me once, never again!
Thanks for watching Steve! I hope you're having a good day so far.
Hi Pan, anther great video. 2 questions: 1) what water pump/pressure washer and nozzle are you using? Please do a video on that, 2) at what point do you stop doing boosters and redo the ceramic or graphite base foundation?
I made a video for my pressure washer here: th-cam.com/video/Cj4FDpKuORI/w-d-xo.html
For the coating, two options: 1) you reached the end of the claimed durability lifespan 2) you notice a big decline in hydrophobics regardless if you’re applying toppers or not
Pan… my black car was left outside for 2 weeks and had a thick coat of pollen on it, I use A SNOW FOAM first about a 5 minute wait time rinsed it off and them car shampoo with a microfiber mitt, rinse off using a Water filter on hose, I notice as I was dryer that the paint still had some spotting, should I’ve used something like green star diluted in the wash bucket or another type of Product To get all the dirt off. Thank you
Nice work Pan
Thank you! Cheers!
Hope adams updated the bottle cap on the this new version of ceramic coating advanced because the old version leaked no mater how tight you get the cap on the bottle . Mine arrived from adams leaking and lost 1/3 of the product. Look on Amazon and there’s alot of people that has had this happen to them.
I don't see any difference in the caps. But I never had bottles leak, and I have had many bottles of the regular and Advanced versions.
Pan, on your channel a few years ago you did a budgeting video, can you do an updated one on budgeting and saving??
That would be a great idea for a future video Alex!
Hi, Pan.
Been enjoying your videos for the past few weeks and learning a lot. Would you be able to do a video for us apartment dwellers who have their cars exposed to the elements 24/7. Just looking for the best tools, protectants and products to keep the car nice and clean. Thanks.
Look into using a rinse less wash process such as Optimum No Rinse or McKee's 37 N914 and the Ultra Black Sponge from The Rag Company. The Ultra Black Sponge is the updated version of the Big Red Sponge. Click the link that follows for a video from Pan the Organizer about the rinse less wash process. th-cam.com/video/RP_BZ-jZBnY/w-d-xo.html

If you have access to water to wash your car, here's my car wash tutorial: th-cam.com/video/7Koj5j2Es5U/w-d-xo.html
If you don't have access to water, but can fill a bucket with water in your apartment, then the next best thing is to use a rinseless wash method. Here's my tutorial: th-cam.com/video/RP_BZ-jZBnY/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for the reply. I’ve been using a rinseless wash, since I discovered this channel. But I made a mistake of taking it to a car wash before and now have hairline scratches and swirls. Was looking into putting some kind of protection on the paint, but not sure how is the best way to go about, since buffing out those scratches outside might not be ideal and I haven’t really used a buffer before. Any suggestions on how to tackle the situation when working outside with the elements??
@ktes85, I’m in the same boat and could possibly offer my two cents. I plan for a good weather day (cloudy/overcast) or work towards the evening when the sun isn’t directly affecting my vehicle. I just recently installed this coating on our SUV and ended up “borrowing” a friends garage while they were out of town over the weekend. I’ve been detailing cars for over 15 years now specifically out of an apartment and it always involves a little bit of weather planning.
Adam always has great products 👍👍 I like their ultra car shampoo for the foam gun
Thanks for watching!
@@PanTheOrganizer your welcome always
Uuufff looking nice!!! Have Adams in mind. Do love my Turtle Wax graphene!!
Thanks Jose!
Thanks Pan!
👍🏻
i wonder if you can use that detail brush for shaving... as it looks like my sythetic shave brushes...
Smart maintenance wash using a degreaser graphene shampoo. Adams definitely makes great soaps and other products too. My favorite part of the video was when you geeked out over water beading. I admit to acting the same way.
😁👍🏻
are you able to use the shampoo in a foam cannon?
Yes, the instructions are on the label for use with a foam cannon, or in a bucket.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan! 😊
I been using adam graphene for about 7 months on my customer. They love the results. And there graphene spray is great to. What you use for your tire shine? Look good
In this video, I used the Obsessed Garage Tire Dressing, as mentioned in the video. Link in the description.
I like using all sorts of different products in different videos.
Do you have any recommendations that day Adams causes tiger striping sometimes when applying? Watching a lot of reviews on Adams too lately.
Pan can you do a vid on your garage? Did you buy the house like that or did you get it built? Amazing how you wash a car inside your garage and the water drains and the lighting too. Did you design it or do people build car detailng garages or convert a normal garage into what you have?
This is a new house and I worked closely with the contractor to make it custom built for detailing cars.
I made a few garage tour videos already. Here’s one of them: th-cam.com/video/gyehNOd44SY/w-d-xo.html
Great video Pan!
Would you consider doing a video on how to properly care for your PPF?
I believe there is a product by Gyeon PPF Renew.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Great suggestion! Thanks Michael.
Great video amazing, I love carpro reset.
Me too!
Looks nice and hesitated on adams but ordered the duraslic extreme (not roar as seems more diificult and for a first timer..) so cannot wait to get it and start detailing my car for the first time!
Until that time I use koch gsf as a shampoo and a koch topper which is great! Especially now with my jacks from luxury microfiber... works so much easier and quicker.. wax on wax off!
You bought an excellent coating Bart! Congrats.
That's a great coating so far.
I think so too!
thanks!, i really want to try and put on a graphene/ceramic on my new car but i'm hesitant on the process i don't want to mess it up!
Hi Kenny. It's super simple when you understand the basics. You're in luck, I have a popular tutorial explaining everything here: th-cam.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/w-d-xo.html
How did you discover my channel, by the way?
Love the video, what is the pressure washer tip you are using?
It's a Mosmatic stainless nozzle, 40 degree tip with 4.0 orifice: bit.ly/3CxzIxf

Kranzle 1122TST pressure washer: bit.ly/3d5kZeK

Just picked up some Adams tire shine and their graphene detail spray the other day to try them out. Both worked very well.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank for always giving such good information. If you had to choose this over the Roar coating option which would you choose?
You can’t compare an expensive pro grade coating like the Roar, to a consumer grade more budget friendly option.
If you have the budget, I would pick the Roar Coating hands down.
I am so thankful for the time you give to respond and help. If you would not mind, I had a follow up question in the line of skill. I am at best a novice, it looked like the application of both were strait forward. Would having a minimal experience change your response. Cost is not much of an issue for me if I can do it, but $2,500 for the professional to apply is a little steep. I just don’t want to ruin the paint on my new car. Thank you again and truly appreciate your feedback.
Hey Pan would you be able to do a durability test for the tire king coating? The finish looked great on the Model Y tires.
It will be hard to do just for a tire dressing. I won’t get the cars in just to check on the tire coating…
I’ll see if I can figure something out.
J'viens de finir d'écouter ta video. J'vais faire un bon clean up en fin de semaine aussi de mon Kona. Sur les side panels sa beads pas fort. Je dois surement avoir un film de crasse collé. Je vais lui appliquer le SIO2 booster de Avalon Kings apres une grosse prep. Merci encore pour ta video. ;)
Yes sir! Après un mois ou deux, les protections accumulent assez de crasse et film routier que ça vient masquer les propriétés hydrophobes.
@@PanTheOrganizer c'est pas drôle, au garage je m"occupe de la shop de lettrage et ppf et c'est rendu moi le pro de l'esthétique auto. Les gars du département viennent me demander conseil. Ca c'est grâce à toi mon chum. ;) Ya des jours où j'aimerais avoir ma propre shop de detailing mais j'aime vraiment mon métier de lettreur alors je fait du detailing ma passion ;)
I may need to try this soap on the Explorer. I think the Avalon King coating is starting to fade. I do have both of AK soaps as well that I can try.
How long have you had the AK?
@@PanTheOrganizer It's been on just over a year now.
When I'm doing paint prep and get to the clay bar decontamination stage. I use Adams Graphene Shampoo and the Adams Clay Mitt. I wet the car surface and liberally apply the Adams Graphene Shampoo directly to the Adams Clay Mitt. This works excellent for a clay mitt lubricant. Also this eliminates all the hassle to remove Detail sprays and clay bar lubes when your going to apply a ceramic coating after. What are your thought's Pan?
Lots of people like to use a car shampoo as a clay lubricant. That’s ok if it works for you. It’s also a cost saving option. But I still prefer a dedicated clay lubricant for that task.
@@PanTheOrganizer Alright, thank you so much for your fast and expert feed back! I'll Give the (Gyeon Q2M ClayLube) a try next time I'm doing a Paint decontamination. Thank you for your guidance Pan!
My pleasure! What's your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer Thats hard to say since you have so much great information and videos. The information you have provided has really helped me gain the confidence to go ahead and begin my own small boutique detail business. If I had to pick one video, it would be the complete step by step guide on how to Apply Ceramic coatings. All of the steps and stages have made a tremendous improvement when trying to get the best results and performance from each coating. The information really helped me gain the knowledge to explain this to potential clients. Most people don't understand what work goes in to applying these (ceramic/graphene) coatings.
I recently read that throwing the ceramic in the fridge before using helps in warmer weather conditions. Cold ceramic = longer working time & easier to remove. What do you think?
Most proper operating temperatures for coatings are 15C (59F) to 25C (77F) for optimal application. So I personally never heard that cooling them down to fridge temps (4C or 39F) is a good idea.
What is important is to avoid working in direct sunlight. But yes the warmer and more humid conditions lead to faster flashing. The colder and dryer the environment, the longer work time you have.
I always work at 20C (68F) in my garage. Perfect conditions. 40-45% humidity
Great update.
Glad you think so!
One thing I've been curious about with these 7-9 year ceramic coatings - if you have one of them on your car, does that mean you don't do any further paint decontamination or correction for the duration it's on? I'm so used to doing a decon/correct/seal once a year and I'm trying to wrap my head around this...
You still need to do basic maintenance. Iron remover once every 3-4 months, regular washing with a quality wax-free pH neutral shampoo, and apply a topper once every 2-3 months.
But no claybar, no polishing. Those would damage the coating.
@@PanTheOrganizer why no wax
Thanks for a great video.I have a bottle of Adams coating I might use on a MC. How was the durability on the plastic trim? Recommend Adams coating or a dedicated trim coat e.g Carpro Cquartz DLUX? (New black plastics trim, not faded)
It was "ok" on plastics and glass, but nothing great. It works better on paint, where it's still doing amazing on that surface. For plastics, I still prefer dedicated plastics coatings like CarPro DLUX, Gyeon Trim and Gtechniq C4.
SnowFoamAU's 'Berry Thick' gives insane suds and lubricity (prefer it now over CarPRO Reset)
Is there a reason you wash your Porsche 2 times a week in the winter? I feel like in the winter it's better to not touch the paint as often because there's lots of dirt on the cars and will increase the chances of swirling when washing? Or is there something I don't understand?
You can wash your car as often as you want, or as little as want. To each their own. I like driving a clean car, and more importantly, I like the soothing aspect of washing and detailing. It's relaxing to me, hence why I do it so often.
Could you please do more videos about sanding and correct paint? Polish glass in order to get rid of swirl in the windshield?
yes please
I made a glass polishing tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/yMi5PtyqUI8/w-d-xo.html
Hi Pan - Had a question with regards to the graphene coatings. With graphene it obviously has the graphite in it making a hazy grey color. Does that have any impacts to a white color vehicle? I'm concerned that with the grey color of the graphene coating, it would leave a grey "tint/hue" to a white vehicle? Love your videos and thanks for your feedback!
There is zero impact on the color of paint, including white. When the product cures there is no color left behind. It's totally transparent.
could you review Americana global ceramic afercare soap
Never heard of them. If I get enough viewer requests I will look into it.
Hi Pan! Thank you for all the videos to help us take better care of our vehicles, much appreciated man! I have a question, I have a 2011 Nissan Armada platinum that has black leather interior but in the front seats there is the platinum logo in white stitching. What would be the best was to clean the letters without damaging the leather? I've used an interior cleaner that helped but the passenger seat just "pops" more due to less use. Any help would be greatly appreciated, keep the helpful vids coming!
A fabric cleaner will do. But you normally leave those alone. Stitched logos are gentle you don't want to potentially damage the fabric strands. Apply a bit of fabric cleaner on a microfiber towel and gently agitate if needed.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you! I used to detail cars in the mid 90's and was pretty decent but haven't done anything in many years,the game has changed ALOT and I appreciate your videos to help know what is what and to understand what and how these new chemicals work. Thanks again, love these videos
Pan , i know this isn’t about the video but what do you recommend for a first carpet extractor and steamer at a affordable price but gets the job done
Please get back to me I need help getting my business up a little bit

Great tips on the new products pan I’m just starting to use some of the adams products and chemical guys but I’m going to order the turtle wax slick and slide car wash I’m also interested in that as well thanks
Good stuff! 👍🏻
Another great video! At this point, what is your preferred ceramic / graphene coating and why?
All my top picks are in my annual car detailing products awards. Here’s the latest edition: th-cam.com/video/LkD22UGujmw/w-d-xo.html
Adam's shampoo looks like its a great lubricant for the mitt. One thing I did notice was the plastic lower trim by the wheel, was slow to sheet. I distinctly remember that panel shared similar beeding to the painted panels of the car when it was applied originally, I guess its bonding has faded on that lower trim area? The bonnet however was like day one. I guess if your applied the graphene spray more often on the plastic areas to get around this? What are your thoughts on the plastic trim currently?
Yes the coating didn't last as long on the plastic trim and the glass. That's what happens with versatile coatings, they aren't as durable on all surfaces. On paint it's doing extremely well though.
On the windshield, there's nothing left, and I will have a special glass coating video coming soon. Stay tuned!
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan, your honesty and trust is gold. Agreed, can't have everything in one product, there will be plus points and areas that just don't do as well. However, the coating on the paint is like the first day you applied it. I wonder how CP Dlux or CP SiC would fair instead on the plastic trims? Great video as always and thanks to you I've got a great supply of product and its fast becoming an addiction.
With most trim coatings, I get 6 to 12 months. DLUX is one of my favourites. That's what I have in my wheel arches (the plastic parts) on my Porsche. Makes cleaning so easy.
I have a question which I never see ask: how do you wash a car if you are in a trip of 2-3 weeks and the car it becomes very dusty?
Rinseless washes like optimum no rinse
Great video as always! The Rogue looks terrific. I noticed in the video during one of the voice over sections towards the end where you were talking about iron removers and decon that you were using Turtle Wax's new Hybrid Solutions Pro Rapid Decon, wheel cleaner and iron remover on the Rogue, but you did not include it in the products you used at the end. Will there be a future video on this new TW product? Cheers! keep up the great content!
I already made a full video for those new TW products here: th-cam.com/video/H6McPVBMuME/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video! Can I use the carpro reset to bring back the hydrofobicity of gyeon q2 fluorine infused wax?
It depends what caused the loss of hydrophobicity. Reset alone can't always restore that. Reset is more of a weekly maintenance shampoo, to prevent traffic film buildup. If you already lost hydrophobic properties, there could be many reasons and variables to consider. Mistake in the installation? Bad prep? Bad batch of product? Clogged wax?
You have to test different options and see. There is no miracle solution. Try Reset, and go from there.
Cheers!
how often would you recommend doing a ceramic maintenance wash and does it depend on the coating?
Once every other month or as needed depending on your conditions, mileage, environment, etc.
At least once a year in the spring for sure.
Once every 2-3 months you should also be applying a maintenance topper (silica spray sealant) on top of your coating to boost the properties and keep peak performance and ensure maximum durability.
Id like to know what nozzle you are using on your pressure washer, i need one like that!
It's a 40 degree tip 4.0 orifice that I got as a package with my Mosmatic gun here: bit.ly/3ovIcPA
Pan what you recommend as a ceramic coating to use for someone who has never applied one before and wants to take a stab at it?
Two of the easiest options, for which I have made videos for:
AvalonKing Armor Shield IX: th-cam.com/video/Rgli6VNLsK4/w-d-xo.html
Gyeon CanCoat (the new EVO version can last up to 12 months): th-cam.com/video/dwY2m8pOgFE/w-d-xo.html
Pan, you’ve briefly mentioned it’s not the slickest coating you’ve seen. I’ve applied Adam’s Advanced Graphene coating about a month ago on my brand new Wrangler and during maintenance washes I’ve noticed exactly the same thing - it’s not slick at all comparing to Armor Shield IX I got on another car. That makes ma a bit concerned, not sure if Adam’s was the best choice at this point. I guess lower slickness is not only about how it feels to the touch but also means lower performance and less protection from dirt and elements?
No slickness isn’t linked to performance. I wouldn’t worry about that, other than not feeling slick to the touch. It’s still slicker compared to unprotected paint, but not as slick as some of the top coatings.
@@PanTheOrganizer Oh, ok, that’s great to hear! That makes me feel much better. I wanna keep my Jeep nice and clean, and it’s important to me to prevent it from attracting the dust, grime etc. Like you said quick detailer makes it slicker to the touch so I guess I’ll keep applying it. Thanks Pan!
My pleasure Luke! How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer as far as I remember it was many years ago, like four of five. I always loved detailing my cars, I was looking for products recommendations and reviews and that’s how I first discovered your channel Pan. I believe it was one of Meguiars products that brought me here. In a meantime I moved from Poland to the US, that’s quite a story :)
Hi Pan. I use Koch Chemie aal round ceramic coating. I really like it. I use use their nano shampoo for maintenance. What would you recommend for toppers? I have their Sio2 spray sealant that they say can be used as a topper and their quick detailer they say can be used after a wash for coated vehicles.
That would be correct if you want to stay within the Koch Chemie line. The SO.02 is the spray sealant that is compatible with ceramic coatings. And their Quick & Shine works well on coated cars too. Fse spray can also be used as a drying aid if you have a few light water spots, or wash the vehicle using hard water, as it has a built in limescale remover.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you so much for the reply. I've been following you for so long and learnt alot. My business is growing because of you. Yes i do have KC Quick & shine and FSE. KC is my preferred brand as i am comfortable using them and i know what to expect. Using for a few years now. Lake country and KC pads. All because of you that i know what to do and if i am confused i just go and watch your videos. You are a legend for me 🤩🤩
@@PanTheOrganizer you might not even know, but you have fans in Pakistan as well. I am from Pakistan, and we love watching your videos.
Going to ceramic coat a 2 month old new car this weekend. Paint looks mostly good. Can I use meguiars dual action drill adapter kit and polish ?
Very well done review ! Thanks !
Thanks for watching!
You mentioned drying aid; did you use one in this instance? If so, any details? Thanks.
I have applied this coating this February. It's doing great untin now. Like the 1st week. I am using Gyeon ceramic detailer as a drying aid on every wash. I can tell this is a fantastic "combo".
You would use a drying aid if you are using a microfiber drying towel to dry the surface. It acts as a lubricant between the surface and the towel, thus preventing marring on the paint.
I use a blower to dry the surface on coated cars (most of the time) so no drying aid is needed. The hydrophobics of coatings make drying super quick with a blower (car dryer, leaf blower, etc) as water flies off. When the car is dry, all that is left is to apply the topper, like I did with Adam's Graphene Detailer in this video. That product could also be used as a drying aid if you're towel drying.
I hope this helps!
Hey Pan have you ever heard of Cilajet and if so what do you think about it?
Haven’t heard of it
Pan, I use a paint sealant when I follow your steps in detailing my car. Is it OK to use an iron remover during my maintenance washes like you did in this video? Thanks.
You don’t use an iron remover on a weekly basis. But once every 3-4 months yes it’s a good thing. By that point it will be time to reapply a fresh layer of your paint sealant anyways.
I am new to your channel and love every second of them. Thank you. Curious, have you tested or do you have any opinions on Chemical Guys products? Thank you again.
Hi John! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 750,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 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.
I did a Chemical Guys video a few years ago here: th-cam.com/video/dwycbtuxFr0/w-d-xo.html
They do offer good products, but you have to know which ones to get. They have waaaaay too many products in my opinion. It gets confusing for the buyer. Nobody needs 20 different spray detailers, 25 different shampoos, 15 different waxes/sealants, heheh.
Also, in their category, there are brands that offer better products in my opinion. Like Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, Adam's and Griot's Garage.
@@PanTheOrganizer I appreciate the response. I have always been an amateur detailer and am OCD about my vehicles. I thought I new what I was doing when I ran across Chemical Guys and became obsessed with their stuff. As I got deeper, I also noticed too much hype and too many tweeks to try and get you to buy the next best thing. I did end up Ceramic coating my truck with the Carbon Force and so far I do love it. I put the Hydro Slick on my wife's and honestly, cannot wait to put something better on it. Not that impressed with it. I am all about doing thing right the first time and hate when I find something better, and did not realize it the first time. I live in NW PA with very harsh winters and salt similar to what it appears you go through in Canada. So again, I want to protect my vehicle. My biggest confusion now is how to maintain the Ceramic coating I put on and what are the true maintenance steps. Can I put another or better/different product over the last or does it have to be completely gone and worn off before next coating? Chemical Guys has you strip, then clay then ceramic, then seal, then a wet butter wax on top. One of your videos talks about not putting any wax or sealant on top of the ceramic. I am big on followup maintenance and I agree, taking the time to clean and detail my vehicle is therapy for me. So I want to do it correctly. I am sure I will stumble upon some of your other videos that might answer some of my questions. My son is as obsessed with his vehicles as I and I have already sent him links to your stuff. Thank you again.
2nd. A new record. What luck to have on the day of my last final this semester. Great work, as usual Pan!
Hehehe you should buy a lottery ticket!! It's your lucky day. Hope your final went well.
So would you choose this over the Roar ceramic coating?
No. I explained why in my other reply to your comment.
Pan best drying aid for Adam’s graphene coating??
th-cam.com/video/NOTNed04xYE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Pan, can you use the shampoo degreaser and iron remover on a car coated with Adams H2O guard and gloss. Will it remove that product? Thanks
Hard to say as I haven’t really tested those products on the H2O and haven’t used that product in a while now. Many years ago. It’s not as chemical resistant as a ceramic coating that’s for sure so if you see diminished water beading after the decon steps, just reapply a fresh layer.
Hey, Pan. Do you have any recommendations for maintaining the Ceramic Coating if one like myself only have access to public car washes? I always wash my car myself, but since I live in an apartment, I don't have access to flowing water and hence I have to use public car washes. Most of them don't like the idea of us taking buckets and using them since they would lose money this way.
Great video by the way.
Thank you!
Well said!
@@asymptomatic84 Thanks for the tips. Appreciate it!
Can you use the Adam's graphene shampoo for maintenance? My vehicle is brand new do i need to clay and polish the vehicle before doing the graphene coating? I do know they used some kind of coating before delivery
It’s important to fully remove any previous protection before applying a coating. That includes machine polishing as it’s the only way to ensure 100% removal of any previous protection.
Watch my popular tutorial on applying a ceramic coating: th-cam.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/w-d-xo.html
Pan- Adam's advanced or 3.0uk? I did 3.0 on my last car and it was fantastic. New car comes in next week and need to purchase between the two.
CarPro is still my favourite consumer grade coating. It has always lasted 2 years in my testing, spot on with its durability claims. However, most new coatings last way longer, at least on paper. I still need more time with this Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating, as it's still fairly new to the market and nobody has had the chance to test it for 3, 4 or 5+ years yet.
I was going to give this a shot but have seen seen people complain about having difficulty with streaking or it being uneven? Is this just a user error and this product is difficult to use if you aren't an experienced detailer?
It’s not the easiest coating to apply, but not the hardest. It’s still a consumer grade coating. If you take your time to prep the surface well and follow the application instructions, you should be fine.
Don’t work in direct sunlight and apply to cool surfaces.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for the reply! I guess I will have to wait till fall. I live in Arizona and it is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit right now lol
