When my wife and I started detailing a few years ago you were our authority on everything lol. We learned so much from you and have a flourishing business. We watched the reviews for most of these products from you and we bought them all. We've tried a few other products because it's always best to try for yourself, but I have to say that trying other products was a waste of time honestly. The Gauntlet is incredible. Definitely changed the game for me because I detail in the desert and needed an extra large extra absorbent towel to dry quick before the sun does. The adams polish applicator made dressing tires one of my favorite parts of the car. The mcullough steamer increased quality and decreased the amount of effort we have to put in on the interiors drastically. The Bissel carpet extractor is a very VERY cheap option for adding a kind of pricey service. I have my lilly brush that I use on every single vehicle. This is a very spot on list of very high quality products. I use the honeydew melon chemical guys snowfoam and meguiars hybrid ceramic wax spray. You can actually dilute the VRP and use it on the entire interior of the vehicle. Even leather. It's my go to finish. I love the smooth matte finish it has the perfect amount of shine. The adam's polish buckets are cool and cheap but my local home depot has ones that are colored like the state flag for where I live (Yellow bucket with Red Zia in the middle, New Mexico) And they were a little more expensive but they look cool and I feel like people notice them and like them. Everyone is all about the Zia here lol. Something a lot of beginning detailers don't think about that I've never seen a youtuber talk about is taking a break. Bring a cooler with a lunch in it and some waters. Get one of those nice big keep your drink cold for 2 days nice cups so you don't have to run to the cooler all the time. If at any point in time you feel yourself slowing down or getting impatient with a difficult spot take a step back. Drink some water. Take a bite of a snack. Breathe and look at something other than the car and then come back to it. Seems like common sense, but... I didn't start doing stuff like this until almost 2 years in. I just detailed hungry and didn't care because I was grinding hard. But every once in awhile I would get impatient with a spot and leave it not as good as I could've been. Now it's all about keeping myself hydrated and well fed. I even stretch before hand and do a little breathing exercising because I know I'm about to be stooping and leaning and stuff for hours. My quality of service went up tenfold by paying more attention to myself than the vehicle. Thanks for all of your content. Please never stop. I always support your affiliate links when making purchases and wish you all of the success in the world.
Also an insightful comment. Thanks. Happy to hear you’ve had success in this field. Wish me luck out here in TN as I’m branching off on my own into detailing!
Ooh! This video is the one! This is why your channel stands out from the rest of the detailers: useful topics other than just actual washing/detailing. Just shows how much you listen to your followers but also how broad your ideas are. Honestly, who would've thought they could find a video on all of TH-cam about products that are cost efficient AND do great jobs? There might be one or two about a specific product, but this video covers a whole range of items. Definitely highlighting your sign off, "TIPS, tricks and techniques". Bravo my man.
Really appreciate you taking the time to put this list together! As an amateur detailer I don’t always need high end expensive supplies. Well done Pan! 👍
@@firstclass1032 well I live where detailing is not popular at all and people drive crappy cars then go wash their cars at the $5 Swirlmaker car wash… so my services are like around €50
@@clemradio then that’s your problem. You’re complaining about services that aren’t in demand. This isn’t the video for you where everything is $10 and below. You’re gonna have to find another outlet for good prices like homemade products rather premade
I can't thank you enough for these types of videos. It gets really confusing for guys like myself that want to keep our cars looking great. So many products that are out there that are pricey and do roughly the same as the cheaper brands. So thank you for this.
@@gailgutierrez9118 true but i don't want to spend all that time researching these products since im not in the business of detailing cars. So these videos help
Hi there, I just got my 1st car - a white C-HR & because it is 3+ years old & was a lease car before, there are pros & cons in having it. Your channel helped me a lot in cleaning the hard to reach places that are usually taken for granted. It is very satisfying to slowly restore the car as much as possible. It is part of my weekly routine now. Very happy I found your channel.

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you. I hope & pray to always drive safely. I just searched “how to clean car for beginners”. Then after scrolling through a few vids, I found your channel. Now I know the proper order in cleaing the car inside out. Just finished using a ceramic wax & sealant on it by following your videos. The car is so much better. It helped my OCD in cleaning. It took me 3 weekends to find the products that work for me & learning the process of cleaning but now I think I can clean my car better than the local car wash. 😅
I love the P&S wheel cleaner. Works like a charm. I would love for you to do a video on the different levels of paint correction. ( From a new car to an old used one). Which pads to use and when. Thanks for another informative video.
I have been watching Pan for a while, I own quite a few of the detailing products that he talked about in this video. I just want to take a minute to admire you Pan for making a video like this for the newbies and those starting out. You really don't need a expensive products and equipment to get a clean detailed vehicle. Everything Pan has talked about is 100% on the dot. Thanks Paaaaaan
I have been detailing cars and motorcycles for about 50 years as a non-professional basis. I've used products from "box" auto parts stores as well as dedicated auto detailing supply stores. I have been most impressed with products from COAT'S AUTO DETAILING SUPPLIES in Fullerton, CA. While restoring a 1930 Harley Davidson from New Zealand,, the tires were brown with dirt and multiple products were unable to get the brown out. I used the COAT'S TIRE CLEANER and the tires were restored to flat black, ready for tire dressing. Once dressed the tires looked NEW! The TIRE CLEANER also restores white walls to white, while other products leave the white walls yellow. The staff are very friendly, professional and generous with samples of their products for you to try. Their prices are very fair. I highly reccommend them.
Thanks Pan, this was very timely, with Amazon's Prime Day coming in a few days. I was given a used entry level SunJoe pressure washer, and I was looking for something better. But I'm not ready for a Kranzle yet. I'll get the Karcher instead.
Yeah Karcher makes great bang for buck units. Heck before I had my expensive Kranzle, I had a Karcher K5 for over a decade and it was still going like new.
My two best car cleaning products for deep cleaning is Pinalen all purpose cleaner, it’s like $6 for 2gl. From wheels at full strength to 25% on general cleaning. And Tide cleans interiors amazingly a table spoon or two in a spray bottle works great even on leather!!! Also tide is a great hand cleaner for greasy grimy hands!! Been using both of these for an easy ten years with no issues.

I just bought on June 26, Turtle wax hybrid solutions tire and wheel prep and hybrid solutions graphene tire shine. I used chemical guys ceramic detailing spray on the wheels. I then drove my 21 Ram 1500 1200 miles. On highways, mountain roads, dirt roads. Climbed Mt. Washington. My son also drove his 22 Ram 1500 with no coating on his tires or wheels. Mine still look good . His are all brown. Mine cleaned up great with just soap and water. I only used one coat as well . Great product and not expensive.
Really gr8 content and presentation Pan. As the supply side of the industry continues to see no end I believe we often get lost in all of it - the latest and greatest... That being said, as long as you have good decent solid products I believe nothing replaces experience, persistence, patience and dedication to do a good job. Thx 4 your tutorials and passion. 👍
Awesome work, Pan. I have to thank you for bringing me out of my Chemical Guys rut, and introducing to me these quality products within all these brands. One video im waiting for is the application of the so-called powerful combination proposed by Turtle Wax, with their Ceramic-Graphene Paste wax, topped with their Graphene Flex wax. Thank you again for reading this
I unfortunately don't have enough time to produce every single product combination in the world, as I test hundreds and hundreds of products yearly. But nothing stops you from testing it out yourself. Not much can go wrong there. Enjoy experimenting! Before I started my channel, I was always experimenting. Over 25 years of detailing and still love it to this day. I never wait for someone else to try stuff for me. I try it and see the results myself. ;)
I did the combo you are speaking of and the results are amazing. The paint feels sooo smooth, nice beautiful shine. I did the foam wash + hand wash to remove any previous carwash wax, iron decontamination, clay mitt, paint correction, turtle wax paste wax ceramic + graphene and top it off with the turtle wax graphene flex wax spray. Took me a good 12hrs todo my full size truck as it was my first time ever but all well worth it. Thanks Pan for the great videos.
Pan check the ryobi 1800 psi 1.2 home pressure washer. Works great. I got 2 of them on sale from Home Depot for $99.00 each. Gave one to my brother in law. Works great in a foam cannon and vehicles. Great for my patio as well.
Brother, thank you soooo much!! Can we all just take a sec and recognize what an amazing job Pan does at providing support and insight to so many in the detailing community. This list is exactly what I needed right now as I am only weeks away from launching my new business. I really appreciate your content (maybe you should look into starting a patreon page to allow people in the community to directly support you?) Thanks again and stay blessed my bro 👊👊👊
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate the support from viewers like you! It gives me the energy and motivation needed to continue producing awesome videos for my community. Making videos is very hard and demanding, and each one can take up to 10-15 hours to produce. So it's nice to know that my efforts don't go unnoticed by my viewers. :)

Let’s show Pan the Organizer some more love with more likes! We are at already 137K views with 6K likes… **You should put a video up on how Pan organizes his day with your effectiveness!
I also had the Karcher K5 for over a decade, and it was still going like new, until I wanted a higher end Kranzle 1122 TST. Karcher makes great value products.
Really helpfull video for the ones that are starting their small business with a smaller budget. I had a K5 to start with but for me it was not that good. I had a lot of troubles with it. Like the hose it never let go of the form when its rolled up. The pressure dropped a lot and sometimes it didnt even work. First thing I did was save money for a Kranzle hd 10/122 ts best choice I ever made.
I’m by no means a detailer other than my own car and sons ( it’s how I relax),never the less I appreciate the education you have given me over the years,your awesome 😎
P&S pearl could replace Mr. pink and ONR as it is able to do both things. normal wash, foam cannon, 256:1 for rinse less wash, clay lube and many more things. 25 usd for 1 gallon. between this and super clean you can do a very very good job for both interior and exterior. A lot of places in US have car washes that are self serve pressure washers. take your products. and you can do full exterior detail all while protected from the sun. most of them have good vacuums to help with interior cleaning! Love the videos!

I found your channel on yt...trying to do something that may makes me feel proud as in being the one lucky guy that drives an almost 20 year old Ford focus wagon with no big repairs, slow but reliable, good chassis ,no rust, good breaks etc.Mechanicly in good condition. So I can spend money on the body and interior ..after new tires and yearly inspection for road permit. To put it in perspective; some set of tires of Audi,Mercedes, or big suv are more expensive then my car purchase and parts&repairs in three years. A tribute to the poor man's daily driver.

Pan. I just finished detailing the exterior of my car relying heavily on your detailing 101 videos. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise. My 20-year-old daily driver turned out much better than I expected! As I inspected my polishing work with an LED pen flashlight I was not sure whether I should focus on the reflected image of the diodes to find blurry spots or focus on the difused light around the diodes. Perhaps you could do a video showing what it is you are looking for when you do your light inspection? Thanks again for all your videos and sharing your expertise.
I recently discovered your channel and your quickly becoming my favorite detailing channel!!! I'm a diy weekend warrior and looking to learn more to up my game. Many channels push products to make money. Im a minimalist and hate needing so much equipment and different products, cleaners, supplies, ect ... Too easy to fall into a rabbit hole always looking for the next best thing. I plea with you to come out with more beginner simplistic videos that you give advice on what minimal equipment and specific methods and supplies you need to improve car detailing 90% better than the average person. I'm trying to create a car care routine that I can implement and use on a regular basis without constantly seeking out new improved methods and products. I'm looking for a tried and true simple quick and effective routine I can use for years to come. I really like the idea of doing a monthly maintenance wash, starting with a wash using a traffic film remover or best method to strip old wax/grease/film, followed by drying (not sure if towel vs leaf blower is faster as I'd prefer using just one method), followed by a wax and grease remover like duplicolor, followed by some type of paint sealant. My thought is to strip all wax each time I wash the car and then just apply a fresh coat of paint sealant after each wash. If I perform this routine 30 days I can have max protection and avoid needing frequent paint corrections. I figured doing a light clay with light polish correction once per year. What's your thoughts on this method and and suggestions would earn a long term new supporter!!!! Thank you!

Can you tell me if it is worth having a second foam cannon dedicated to just the wheels and tires ? And if so what product is best recommended for the wheels and tires … and I see I could get the 14:24 foam cannon for my wheels but I already have a meguiar foam cannon ordered. I saw your video on a foam pump and hose pipe foam gun and I am just curious If I am better off getting a dedicated cannon of any kind for my wheels only? Sorry for such a long question and I would really appreciate an answer or even a link to a video for this specific question I have. Thankyou you are the best really!! You deserve to be the most popular car detailed on TH-cam for your amazing content.
Thanks! But I’m confused. You said you have a Meguiar’s foam cannon on order already. You want another one? You could certainly have one for paint, and one for wheels if you wanted.
@@PanTheOrganizer well that is the answer I was looking for. I’m sorry for being so complicated, so I have seen more videos of yours and I have brought a foam pump for my wheels and I have a foam cannon for my paint. Its best to not mix two different products in the same cannon right? Say even if I cleaned it out, it’s better to have a foam pump dedicated to the same product for wheels and a cannon just for a snow foam, rather then using a foam cannon for paint/body and then cleaning it out and using wheel stuff in it.
Another winner video. Thx. Unrelated question. I follow your recommended process for paint correction: wash, iron removal, clay, polish(3-4 passes), buff, but after all this I still feel bumps in the paint when I examine the surface. I tried to use compound, then polish as well but I still feel the bump. How can I get the surface smooth?
@@PanTheOrganizer same bumps one feels on a car that does not have paint correction. As per your instructions I placed my hand in a plastic bag and felt the surface
Thank you Pan for all the great content you put out. I have enjoyed detailing my cars ever since I started driving back in the 1960's. I never realized back in those old days that when I would spend the time waxing my ride and then the next time I washed it with my Mom's dish soap I was stripping the wax back off. LOL. I've come a long way since then. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the feedback David! I like sharing my knowledge and passion for detailing with you guys. We should never stop learning in our lives, there are always new things to learn and the technologies keep improving too. :)
Once again a great video. I am a weekend warrior and taking care of 4 cars. I am curious about the shelf life of the different chemicals on the detailing of cars. Like waxes, trim, leather treatments and polishes. Is it possible to add water to polishes if drying out?
The general rule is chemicals have a shelf life of 1 to 2 years if kept in stable conditions and never frozen. Watch a video I made asking these types of questions to an industry leading chemist: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.html

@@PanTheOrganizer awesome thank you very much I did have this video saved under your playlist. I've looked at this on Amazon and was considering purchasing it. I was curious if there's something new that had come out since you did the review.
I had purchased the torque 10fx Handle seems to be very short and the variable speed buttons seem to get in the way and very easy to change your settings even when you're not trying to if you're a couple of your handrubs across it will change the settings very annoying Tip seems to break off very easy if you set it down kind of hard it will break the front of the tip off other than those 2 complaints very easy to use very nice buffer it's got little bit of weight to it and we'll get the job done
I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing around $2000 of detailing supplies. I have a list of stuff I want to get, I am just doing research to see if there is any better options to what I have selected. I have selected to go with Chemical Guys for my cleaners, clothes and scrubers, and for cordless tools I have selected Ryobi tool brand. Ryobi is not as well known as some other brands, but I am familiar with them, and for exactly what I am looking for they offer the best prices. I am going for a full mobile business so all my tools need to be cordless

Pan I've been binge watching for 72 hours and excited to get to work on my new 2022 Black Ridgeline. Question: if I go full out on a top to bottom detail and ceramic coating and it ends up ok but not fantastic, is it safe to say, start all over again? Do we use a "stripping shampoo" and start from scratch? So many options, chemicals and solutions. Can be overwhelming! You do great work
Hi Matthew. Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 780,000 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. Congrats on getting a new vehicle! Always a fun time when we get a new vehicle. To answer your question, I don't know why you wouldn't find it fantastic, as ceramic coatings are way better compared to traditional waxes and sealants. But, if for some reason you didn't like the results, it gets more complicated, as the only way to ensure 100% removal of an existing ceramic coating is by machine polishing. Coatings are meant to be durable and also chemical resistant, so just a stripping shampoo won't put a dent into it. Mechanical abrasion from polishing is needed. Some pro grade coatings sometimes requires water sanding to get them off. They are no joke. How did you discover my channel by the way? Did you watch my ceramic coating application tutorial? Here: th-cam.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for the response! Honestly I TH-camd searched "detailing a black vehicle" and yours popped up! I did some weekend warrior side side projects a few years ago but it didn't go past some clay work and spray waxes. I'm blown away at how many more products have come to market just in the last few years. I guess I can't let fear get the best of me. Gotta get out there and do it. I just know how flaws can really show on black. I've watched a ton of your videos and made a mini (yet pretty thorough at same time) checklist on some products and tools I want to try out. Thanks again for your reply. Can you reccomend a forum or spot to find a local detailer with the same passion you have? I'd love to link up with someone local. Cheers!
Correct. Just go out there and enjoy the detailing process. Not much can go wrong. Use common sense, and with the support of all my tutorials, you can easily duplicate the steps at home with all the confidence needed. Even polishing paint can't really go wrong when using a dual action polisher. It's near impossible to burn through paint with those. And I have a tutorial showing beginners how to polish their cars here: th-cam.com/video/ustTEVGMOTI/w-d-xo.html And to find a good detailer, I actually made a video with a few professional detailers explaining how to find a good detailer here: th-cam.com/video/IZ7iCwYf57k/w-d-xo.html
Hello Pan, I religiously watch your videos and have learned so much, thank you! I’ve had trouble finding a video on the best applicator pad to apply a dressing to plastic/rubber/leather/vinyl? Thank you in advance!
It depends what surface you are talking about. I use different applicators for different tasks. Sometimes, a microfiber towel or microfiber applicator. Or a tire dressing foam applicator, etc.
Pan, what's the best and easiest way to clean MAG wheels on your motor cycle? I have some pitted from brake dust so I want to correct that and bring back the shine.
This is going to be a popular one pan! I’ve been disappointed with my drying agent. It seems to leave tons of streaks. The last time I washed my car, I just didn’t do the drying agent step. I know I risk scratching the car, but the car actually looks much better.

Excellent video. Btw, how do I clean and beautify the dull rack on top of my van? Those types of tracks are made of a hard plastic material and they look like black rubber but it's plastic.
Hello Pan..I love your channel...I have a 2015 camero...paints in pretty good condition but after having it for awhile I noticed some black spots on the area on the bottom right before you get to the rear wheels...I did a light clay bar and seemed to get some off but you can still see alot of it still on there..what would get that off?..I'm sure your very busy so if you ever get the time I would appreciate your imput...I tried tar remover ..nothing
Hard to say as I don't know what exactly caused those black spots. What tar remover did you use? Perhaps it wasn't strong enough. Here's a product that usually does the trick for black deposits: bit.ly/41R4eOA
@Pan The Organizer I used turtle wax tar remover...and iron clay spray on it with a clay bar...it's not a show car by any means but your channel got me to get it as clean as I can...thanks so much
Thank you so much! I am so glad I found you in time!...... I am buying my first new car! Would you please tell me how I should start off taking care of my car fresh from the dealership, So I can have a clean start in protecting my vehicle? Also, I will be going on road trips, leaving out only a couple days after bringing it home fresh from the dealership, ( this road trip will last a few months) how should I go about my car care while on the road trip? What would you bring along for this extended trip? Thank you! Cheers!
Congrats on your new car! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 920,000 subscribers and we have over 120 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. 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 for my customers: Aston Martin Vantage: th-cam.com/video/OKga3yZVTqo/w-d-xo.html Volvo XC60: th-cam.com/video/tvDBBenhYFA/w-d-xo.html 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 BMW M6 Gran Coupe: th-cam.com/video/0lC9uyKXs8Q/w-d-xo.html BMW M340i: th-cam.com/video/etXhJNaF0EE/w-d-xo.html Audi RS3: th-cam.com/video/641mAJfKDLM/w-d-xo.html Golf R: th-cam.com/video/jr19g4PWJsk/w-d-xo.html
Pan , Excellent video wish someone showed me this way back when I started. Just an idea for a video on Walmart. I went there and they have a whole aisle of detailing products name brands at lower costs, to my surprise. Example: wash bucket caddies for 10 dollars at our local store. Always enjoy your videos I consider them my weekly training refresher courses. Take care.
Thank you so much for this awesome and informative video!!! Please expand your video to include car protection products and polishers using Amazon... you have been a real blessing

Always feel like a kid in a candy shop when I see all the detailing products. Very good informative video thanks pan!
Thanks Jon!!
I have the same reaction, only its followed by a feeling of causing on selecting the "wrong" product and Fear or missing out on the good products :)
When my wife and I started detailing a few years ago you were our authority on everything lol. We learned so much from you and have a flourishing business. We watched the reviews for most of these products from you and we bought them all. We've tried a few other products because it's always best to try for yourself, but I have to say that trying other products was a waste of time honestly. The Gauntlet is incredible. Definitely changed the game for me because I detail in the desert and needed an extra large extra absorbent towel to dry quick before the sun does. The adams polish applicator made dressing tires one of my favorite parts of the car. The mcullough steamer increased quality and decreased the amount of effort we have to put in on the interiors drastically. The Bissel carpet extractor is a very VERY cheap option for adding a kind of pricey service. I have my lilly brush that I use on every single vehicle.
This is a very spot on list of very high quality products. I use the honeydew melon chemical guys snowfoam and meguiars hybrid ceramic wax spray. You can actually dilute the VRP and use it on the entire interior of the vehicle. Even leather. It's my go to finish. I love the smooth matte finish it has the perfect amount of shine. The adam's polish buckets are cool and cheap but my local home depot has ones that are colored like the state flag for where I live (Yellow bucket with Red Zia in the middle, New Mexico) And they were a little more expensive but they look cool and I feel like people notice them and like them. Everyone is all about the Zia here lol. Something a lot of beginning detailers don't think about that I've never seen a youtuber talk about is taking a break. Bring a cooler with a lunch in it and some waters. Get one of those nice big keep your drink cold for 2 days nice cups so you don't have to run to the cooler all the time. If at any point in time you feel yourself slowing down or getting impatient with a difficult spot take a step back. Drink some water. Take a bite of a snack. Breathe and look at something other than the car and then come back to it. Seems like common sense, but... I didn't start doing stuff like this until almost 2 years in. I just detailed hungry and didn't care because I was grinding hard. But every once in awhile I would get impatient with a spot and leave it not as good as I could've been. Now it's all about keeping myself hydrated and well fed. I even stretch before hand and do a little breathing exercising because I know I'm about to be stooping and leaning and stuff for hours. My quality of service went up tenfold by paying more attention to myself than the vehicle.

@troycleanstheworld. Is detailing a very physical job?
Also an insightful comment. Thanks. Happy to hear you’ve had success in this field. Wish me luck out here in TN as I’m branching off on my own into detailing!
Ooh! This video is the one! This is why your channel stands out from the rest of the detailers: useful topics other than just actual washing/detailing. Just shows how much you listen to your followers but also how broad your ideas are. Honestly, who would've thought they could find a video on all of TH-cam about products that are cost efficient AND do great jobs? There might be one or two about a specific product, but this video covers a whole range of items. Definitely highlighting your sign off, "TIPS, tricks and techniques". Bravo my man.
Thanks for the kind words Joseph!! I always appreciate your feedback.
I second that!!
Really appreciate you taking the time to put this list together! As an amateur detailer I don’t always need high end expensive supplies. Well done Pan! 👍
These were sooo expensive like who got the money for a 25$ bucket. Seriously. Or a 15$ brush. Like it’s a brush
Dude these are as cheap as they get you need to make sure your making more than 5 bucks a wash if these are expensive for your detailing business lol
@@firstclass1032 well I live where detailing is not popular at all and people drive crappy cars then go wash their cars at the $5 Swirlmaker car wash… so my services are like around €50
@@clemradio then that’s your problem. You’re complaining about services that aren’t in demand. This isn’t the video for you where everything is $10 and below. You’re gonna have to find another outlet for good prices like homemade products rather premade
I can't thank you enough for these types of videos. It gets really confusing for guys like myself that want to keep our cars looking great. So many products that are out there that are pricey and do roughly the same as the cheaper brands. So thank you for this.
it is true for an diyer but common sense is the key for choosing.
Thanks Derek! I appreciate the feedback.
@@gailgutierrez9118 true but i don't want to spend all that time researching these products since im not in the business of detailing cars. So these videos help
Hi there,
I just got my 1st car - a white C-HR & because it is 3+ years old & was a lease car before, there are pros & cons in having it. Your channel helped me a lot in cleaning the hard to reach places that are usually taken for granted. It is very satisfying to slowly restore the car as much as possible. It is part of my weekly routine now. Very happy I found your channel.

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you. I hope & pray to always drive safely.
I just searched “how to clean car for beginners”. Then after scrolling through a few vids, I found your channel. Now I know the proper order in cleaing the car inside out. Just finished using a ceramic wax & sealant on it by following your videos. The car is so much better. It helped my OCD in cleaning. It took me 3 weekends to find the products that work for me & learning the process of cleaning but now I think I can clean my car better than the local car wash. 😅
I love the P&S wheel cleaner. Works like a charm. I would love for you to do a video on the different levels of paint correction. ( From a new car to an old used one). Which pads to use and when. Thanks for another informative video.
Yes, this would be nice to watch.
I have been watching Pan for a while, I own quite a few of the detailing products that he talked about in this video.
I just want to take a minute to admire you Pan for making a video like this for the newbies and those starting out. You really don't need a expensive products and equipment to get a clean detailed vehicle. Everything Pan has talked about is 100% on the dot.
Thanks Paaaaaan

@@PanTheOrganizer You too Pan, have a fantastic weekend!
I have been detailing cars and motorcycles for about 50 years as a non-professional basis. I've used products from "box" auto parts stores as well as dedicated auto detailing supply stores. I have been most impressed with products from COAT'S AUTO DETAILING SUPPLIES in Fullerton, CA. While restoring a 1930 Harley Davidson from New Zealand,, the tires were brown with dirt and multiple products were unable to get the brown out. I used the COAT'S TIRE CLEANER and the tires were restored to flat black, ready for tire dressing. Once dressed the tires looked NEW! The TIRE CLEANER also restores white walls to white, while other products leave the white walls yellow. The staff are very friendly, professional and generous with samples of their products for you to try. Their prices are very fair. I highly reccommend them.
Thanks Pan, this was very timely, with Amazon's Prime Day coming in a few days. I was given a used entry level SunJoe pressure washer, and I was looking for something better. But I'm not ready for a Kranzle yet. I'll get the Karcher instead.
Yeah Karcher makes great bang for buck units. Heck before I had my expensive Kranzle, I had a Karcher K5 for over a decade and it was still going like new.
My two best car cleaning products for deep cleaning is Pinalen all purpose cleaner, it’s like $6 for 2gl. From wheels at full strength to 25% on general cleaning. And Tide cleans interiors amazingly a table spoon or two in a spray bottle works great even on leather!!! Also tide is a great hand cleaner for greasy grimy hands!! Been using both of these for an easy ten years with no issues.

I just bought on June 26, Turtle wax hybrid solutions tire and wheel prep and hybrid solutions graphene tire shine. I used chemical guys ceramic detailing spray on the wheels. I then drove my 21 Ram 1500 1200 miles. On highways, mountain roads, dirt roads. Climbed Mt. Washington. My son also drove his 22 Ram 1500 with no coating on his tires or wheels. Mine still look good . His are all brown. Mine cleaned up great with just soap and water. I only used one coat as well . Great product and not expensive.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Really gr8 content and presentation Pan. As the supply side of the industry continues to see no end I believe we often get lost in all of it - the latest and greatest...
That being said, as long as you have good decent solid products I believe nothing replaces experience, persistence, patience and dedication to do a good job. Thx 4 your tutorials and passion. 👍
Thank you !!
May be cheaper to get a 5 dollar bucket from Home Depot and 8 dollar grit guard from Walmart
Awesome work, Pan. I have to thank you for bringing me out of my Chemical Guys rut, and introducing to me these quality products within all these brands. One video im waiting for is the application of the so-called powerful combination proposed by Turtle Wax, with their Ceramic-Graphene Paste wax, topped with their Graphene Flex wax. Thank you again for reading this
I unfortunately don't have enough time to produce every single product combination in the world, as I test hundreds and hundreds of products yearly. But nothing stops you from testing it out yourself. Not much can go wrong there. Enjoy experimenting! Before I started my channel, I was always experimenting. Over 25 years of detailing and still love it to this day. I never wait for someone else to try stuff for me. I try it and see the results myself. ;)
I did the combo you are speaking of and the results are amazing. The paint feels sooo smooth, nice beautiful shine. I did the foam wash + hand wash to remove any previous carwash wax, iron decontamination, clay mitt, paint correction, turtle wax paste wax ceramic + graphene and top it off with the turtle wax graphene flex wax spray. Took me a good 12hrs todo my full size truck as it was my first time ever but all well worth it. Thanks Pan for the great videos.
And this is why I considered this channel, the best detail channel hands down, thank you Pan for been one of us, thank you for another awesome video
Wow, thank you!
Walmart has a pack of 40 microfiber towels for $17 dollars and they work fantastic
Pan check the ryobi 1800 psi 1.2 home pressure washer. Works great. I got 2 of them on sale from Home Depot for $99.00 each. Gave one to my brother in law. Works great in a foam cannon and vehicles. Great for my patio as well.
Brother, thank you soooo much!! Can we all just take a sec and recognize what an amazing job Pan does at providing support and insight to so many in the detailing community. This list is exactly what I needed right now as I am only weeks away from launching my new business. I really appreciate your content (maybe you should look into starting a patreon page to allow people in the community to directly support you?) Thanks again and stay blessed my bro 👊👊👊
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate the support from viewers like you! It gives me the energy and motivation needed to continue producing awesome videos for my community. Making videos is very hard and demanding, and each one can take up to 10-15 hours to produce. So it's nice to know that my efforts don't go unnoticed by my viewers. :)

Very informative. I have had the Karcher K5 Premium for 12 years with trouble free usage. I did upgrade the hose ...quality and increased length.
I also had the Karcher K5 for over a decade, and it was still going like new, until I wanted a higher end Kranzle 1122 TST. Karcher makes great value products.
Really helpfull video for the ones that are starting their small business with a smaller budget. I had a K5 to start with but for me it was not that good. I had a lot of troubles with it. Like the hose it never let go of the form when its rolled up. The pressure dropped a lot and sometimes it didnt even work. First thing I did was save money for a Kranzle hd 10/122 ts best choice I ever made.
I love my Kranzle 1122TST as well! Last pressure washer you’ll ever need. 😁👍🏻
I’m by no means a detailer other than my own car and sons ( it’s how I relax),never the less I appreciate the education you have given me over the years,your awesome 😎
Thanks David!
P&S pearl could replace Mr. pink and ONR as it is able to do both things. normal wash, foam cannon, 256:1 for rinse less wash, clay lube and many more things. 25 usd for 1 gallon. between this and super clean you can do a very very good job for both interior and exterior. A lot of places in US have car washes that are self serve pressure washers. take your products. and you can do full exterior detail all while protected from the sun. most of them have good vacuums to help with interior cleaning!

To put it in perspective; some set of tires of Audi,Mercedes, or big suv are more expensive then my car purchase and parts&repairs in three years. A tribute to the poor man's daily driver.

I recently discovered your channel and your quickly becoming my favorite detailing channel!!! I'm a diy weekend warrior and looking to learn more to up my game. Many channels push products to make money. Im a minimalist and hate needing so much equipment and different products, cleaners, supplies, ect ... Too easy to fall into a rabbit hole always looking for the next best thing. I plea with you to come out with more beginner simplistic videos that you give advice on what minimal equipment and specific methods and supplies you need to improve car detailing 90% better than the average person. I'm trying to create a car care routine that I can implement and use on a regular basis without constantly seeking out new improved methods and products. I'm looking for a tried and true simple quick and effective routine I can use for years to come. I really like the idea of doing a monthly maintenance wash, starting with a wash using a traffic film remover or best method to strip old wax/grease/film, followed by drying (not sure if towel vs leaf blower is faster as I'd prefer using just one method), followed by a wax and grease remover like duplicolor, followed by some type of paint sealant. My thought is to strip all wax each time I wash the car and then just apply a fresh coat of paint sealant after each wash. If I perform this routine 30 days I can have max protection and avoid needing frequent paint corrections. I figured doing a light clay with light polish correction once per year. What's your thoughts on this method and and suggestions would earn a long term new supporter!!!! Thank you!

I have a popular car wash tutorial showing how to properly clean your car on a weekly or monthly basis here: th-cam.com/video/7Koj5j2Es5U/w-d-xo.html
There is no need to strip the sealant off each time you wash your car. If you use proper washing and drying methods, you shouldn’t need to polish your car for over a year or more.
Now if you want to properly decontaminate and polish your paintwork before applying a good protection like a ceramic coating, watch my tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/w-d-xo.html

Can you tell me if it is worth having a second foam cannon dedicated to just the wheels and tires ? And if so what product is best recommended for the wheels and tires … and I see I could get the 14:24 foam cannon for my wheels but I already have a meguiar foam cannon ordered. I saw your video on a foam pump and hose pipe foam gun and I am just curious If I am better off getting a dedicated cannon of any kind for my wheels only? Sorry for such a long question and I would really appreciate an answer or even a link to a video for this specific question I have. Thankyou you are the best really!! You deserve to be the most popular car detailed on TH-cam for your amazing content.
Thanks! But I’m confused. You said you have a Meguiar’s foam cannon on order already. You want another one? You could certainly have one for paint, and one for wheels if you wanted.
@@PanTheOrganizer well that is the answer I was looking for. I’m sorry for being so complicated, so I have seen more videos of yours and I have brought a foam pump for my wheels and I have a foam cannon for my paint. Its best to not mix two different products in the same cannon right? Say even if I cleaned it out, it’s better to have a foam pump dedicated to the same product for wheels and a cannon just for a snow foam, rather then using a foam cannon for paint/body and then cleaning it out and using wheel stuff in it.
Another winner video. Thx. Unrelated question. I follow your recommended process for paint correction: wash, iron removal, clay, polish(3-4 passes), buff, but after all this I still feel bumps in the paint when I examine the surface. I tried to use compound, then polish as well but I still feel the bump. How can I get the surface smooth?
Hard to answer as I can’t see or touch your paint in person, so I don’t know what bumps you are referring to.
@@PanTheOrganizer same bumps one feels on a car that does not have paint correction. As per your instructions I placed my hand in a plastic bag and felt the surface
Great information Pan. Please give us your thoughts on polishing as well.
I am working on it so stay tuned! ;)
Another great video! Do you have a recommendation for an affordable foam cannon that attaches to a garden hose?
I made a video specifically on that topic recently, here: th-cam.com/video/rJPk8nR8Ib0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Pan for all the great content you put out. I have enjoyed detailing my cars ever since I started driving back in the 1960's. I never realized back in those old days that when I would spend the time waxing my ride and then the next time I washed it with my Mom's dish soap I was stripping the wax back off. LOL. I've come a long way since then. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the feedback David! I like sharing my knowledge and passion for detailing with you guys. We should never stop learning in our lives, there are always new things to learn and the technologies keep improving too. :)
Once again a great video. I am a weekend warrior and taking care of 4 cars. I am curious about the shelf life of the different chemicals on the detailing of cars. Like waxes, trim, leather treatments and polishes. Is it possible to add water to polishes if drying out?
The general rule is chemicals have a shelf life of 1 to 2 years if kept in stable conditions and never frozen. Watch a video I made asking these types of questions to an industry leading chemist: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.html
Good Video. I also like Simply Green For all purpose cleaner. I have also found the Grant towels from Harbor freight to be pretty good.

Thanks David! I’m working on it.
Maybe out of topic but what about hard water conditioners. Specifically the ones you use for rinsing and can be mounted on walls or roll around.
I made a water deionizer video here: th-cam.com/video/IKNL1chAQXY/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer awesome thank you very much I did have this video saved under your playlist. I've looked at this on Amazon and was considering purchasing it. I was curious if there's something new that had come out since you did the review.
I had purchased the torque 10fx Handle seems to be very short and the variable speed buttons seem to get in the way and very easy to change your settings even when you're not trying to if you're a couple of your handrubs across it will change the settings very annoying Tip seems to break off very easy if you set it down kind of hard it will break the front of the tip off other than those 2 complaints very easy to use very nice buffer it's got little bit of weight to it and we'll get the job done
Great video Pan. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Brian!
Thanks again how about a video on best snow foam cannon that works on a garden hose
It's already in production! So stay tuned for that video later this month. ;)
I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing around $2000 of detailing supplies. I have a list of stuff I want to get, I am just doing research to see if there is any better options to what I have selected. I have selected to go with Chemical Guys for my cleaners, clothes and scrubers, and for cordless tools I have selected Ryobi tool brand. Ryobi is not as well known as some other brands, but I am familiar with them, and for exactly what I am looking for they offer the best prices. I am going for a full mobile business so all my tools need to be cordless

Hi Pan , which pressure washer hose do you use and which wand? Enjoyed the video, lots of information to take in
I have the super expensive Kranzle and Mosmatic pressure washer and wand kit. Here: bit.ly/3yxLkhZ

Thanks Shea!
Great idea for a video Pan, very informative. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Pan I've been binge watching for 72 hours and excited to get to work on my new 2022 Black Ridgeline. Question: if I go full out on a top to bottom detail and ceramic coating and it ends up ok but not fantastic, is it safe to say, start all over again? Do we use a "stripping shampoo" and start from scratch? So many options, chemicals and solutions. Can be overwhelming! You do great work

Congrats on getting a new vehicle! Always a fun time when we get a new vehicle. To answer your question, I don't know why you wouldn't find it fantastic, as ceramic coatings are way better compared to traditional waxes and sealants.
But, if for some reason you didn't like the results, it gets more complicated, as the only way to ensure 100% removal of an existing ceramic coating is by machine polishing. Coatings are meant to be durable and also chemical resistant, so just a stripping shampoo won't put a dent into it. Mechanical abrasion from polishing is needed. Some pro grade coatings sometimes requires water sanding to get them off. They are no joke.
How did you discover my channel by the way?
Did you watch my ceramic coating application tutorial? Here: th-cam.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for the response! Honestly I TH-camd searched "detailing a black vehicle" and yours popped up! I did some weekend warrior side side projects a few years ago but it didn't go past some clay work and spray waxes. I'm blown away at how many more products have come to market just in the last few years. I guess I can't let fear get the best of me. Gotta get out there and do it. I just know how flaws can really show on black. I've watched a ton of your videos and made a mini (yet pretty thorough at same time) checklist on some products and tools I want to try out. Thanks again for your reply.
Can you reccomend a forum or spot to find a local detailer with the same passion you have? I'd love to link up with someone local. Cheers!
Correct. Just go out there and enjoy the detailing process. Not much can go wrong. Use common sense, and with the support of all my tutorials, you can easily duplicate the steps at home with all the confidence needed.
Even polishing paint can't really go wrong when using a dual action polisher. It's near impossible to burn through paint with those. And I have a tutorial showing beginners how to polish their cars here: th-cam.com/video/ustTEVGMOTI/w-d-xo.html
And to find a good detailer, I actually made a video with a few professional detailers explaining how to find a good detailer here: th-cam.com/video/IZ7iCwYf57k/w-d-xo.html
I’m going nuts love everything 🤩 thanks and great video Pan
Thanks Cruz!
Hello Pan, I religiously watch your videos and have learned so much, thank you! I’ve had trouble finding a video on the best applicator pad to apply a dressing to plastic/rubber/leather/vinyl? Thank you in advance!
It depends what surface you are talking about. I use different applicators for different tasks. Sometimes, a microfiber towel or microfiber applicator. Or a tire dressing foam applicator, etc.
Which affordable wand, sprayer and hose would you recommend? I'm contemplating on buying the Karcher 1700.
Watch this video I made: th-cam.com/video/_UwK_0VDK0o/w-d-xo.html
Pan, what's the best and easiest way to clean MAG wheels on your motor cycle? I have some pitted from brake dust so I want to correct that and bring back the shine.
This is going to be a popular one pan!
I’ve been disappointed with my drying agent. It seems to leave tons of streaks. The last time I washed my car, I just didn’t do the drying agent step. I know I risk scratching the car, but the car actually looks much better.
What were you using?
What drying aid were you using?

Very very helpful video Pan. I’m looking to get into detailing and there’s so much info for starters but this nailed it. I take your word for it appreciate your wisdom man.
Thanks Jimmy! I appreciate the feedback.
A forever addiction is what I have regarding detailing and detailing products. Professor Pan knocked it out of the park again! Lots of good stuff was described and suggested here. Thank You, Pan!
Right on!
Excellent video. Btw, how do I clean and beautify the dull rack on top of my van? Those types of tracks are made of a hard plastic material and they look like black rubber but it's plastic.
Hello Pan..I love your channel...I have a 2015 camero...paints in pretty good condition but after having it for awhile I noticed some black spots on the area on the bottom right before you get to the rear wheels...I did a light clay bar and seemed to get some off but you can still see alot of it still on there..what would get that off?..I'm sure your very busy so if you ever get the time I would appreciate your imput...I tried tar remover ..nothing
Hard to say as I don't know what exactly caused those black spots. What tar remover did you use? Perhaps it wasn't strong enough.
Here's a product that usually does the trick for black deposits: bit.ly/41R4eOA
@Pan The Organizer I used turtle wax tar remover...and iron clay spray on it with a clay bar...it's not a show car by any means but your channel got me to get it as clean as I can...thanks so much
Thank you so much! I am so glad I found you in time!...... I am buying my first new car! Would you please tell me how I should start off taking care of my car fresh from the dealership, So I can have a clean start in protecting my vehicle? Also, I will be going on road trips, leaving out only a couple days after bringing it home fresh from the dealership, ( this road trip will last a few months) how should I go about my car care while on the road trip? What would you bring along for this extended trip? Thank you! Cheers!

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

Great video, Pan. There were a few staples here that I didn't have or probably needed to upgrade to.
Thanks!
Pan , Excellent video wish someone showed me this way back when I started. Just an idea for a video on Walmart. I went there and they have a whole aisle of detailing products name brands at lower costs, to my surprise. Example: wash bucket caddies for 10 dollars at our local store. Always enjoy your videos I consider them my weekly training refresher courses. Take care.
