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.

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!
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
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.
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.

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. :)
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.
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. 👍
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.
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!

Hey Pan!! I Love your content.. You inspired me to become a Professional Detailer.. I started detailing seriously about 7-8 years ago, and I used to have the privilege of detailing private jets.. Anyway my question for today is.. What is or How do you properly wash/clean your tire applicators specifically the foam ones? Appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.. Enjoy the rest of your day and keep up the great work!!!

To answer your question, I don’t clean my tire dressing applicators as that’s their only purpose. I lay them on top of an old microfiber towel after use. If you want to clean them, just soak them overnight in a solution of hot water and a bit of APC in it (3:1 ratio), brush them and rinse them out the next day.
thank you for a great video. I recently bought a new car and I want Detail at myself instead of going to the car wash. I have learned a lot from your videos and this one is helping me get the tools that I need to do the job myself.!

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.
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
I'm surprised you suggested using brush on piano black interior/exterior as they scratch so easily. I will only use a soft microfibre towel. Gyeon showed a video of how a soft brush can scratch piano black. Look forward to the next helpful video.

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. :)
OMG... Super, Super informative. Just started to get educated on ceramics for my newly acquired 2004 Lincoln Town Car Signiture with 94k. She's a gem that I'll own the rest of my life. Third Owner. FANTASTIC condition. Last Fall installed an extraordinary sound system - but I digress.... Paint is immaculate for a 20yr old original paint & Top Coat. - Yes, a couple of scratches, nicks, and a slight, very slight Top Coat blemish on the top corner of the passengers rear door. Not a novice, been cleaning, claybarring, and waxing and Polishing for decades... (funny, no-one mentions using a soft toothbrush). Looking to ceramic coat my first vehicle... Is NexGen ok to use as a spray?

@@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 gladly subscribed after viewing just a few of your informative and entertaining videos, this like all your other videos was very helpful, who does not like to save money, it is no small surprise why so many have subscribed, still likely only a fraction of the people that view and enjoy what you bring to your viewing audience.

Love this episode. Got the Adams bucket. Needs measurements marked on bucket. Really need a 3 gallon mark. You can easily mark this but Adams should have marked their bucket as chemicals and water formulas always need to be measured. Perhaps you can tell them this.

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
@@PanTheOrganizer Overall...it's has got to be when you went and got your Supercar/Porsche 911 Turbo S. Seeing your emotions of how all your hard work paid off to get the car that you wanted was priceless! Also...you taught me how to ceramic coat my vehicles and maintain the coatings. Now I'm studying your Adam's Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating video to apply. Thanks again for all your videos and in-depth reviews and tutorials!

I have a Griot's Garage synthetic clay pad and it's great. Between two vehicles I've probably used it a dozen times so far and it's fantastic. Also top tip, it's great for residential glass. I moved into an apartment temporarily while house shopping and my balcony door glass on the outside was weathered and oxidized as residential glass tends to get. Sprayed with some Invisible Glass and used the clay pad. Looks like new. Sparkling and clear.
Great review of products. I’m glad I have most of them in my garage. Turtle wax Slick n Slide is about the same price as Mr Pink. I have both and I prefer Slick n Slide. A little goes a long way.
I have to point this out after doing some digging on my own...the suggested power washer and suggested foam cannon do not mix! the cannon suggested gpm is 1.4 or higher and the suggested power washer you suggest here only reaches 1.2...please be aware of this
The Grit Guards are more expensive than the buckets. As for "value" who knows, I'm currently in the "Store" brand of items for cleaning cars, Just due to stock levels of the products I usually use....I am "upset" as i'm starting to suffer from autoglym withdrawal, like their Intensive Tar remover. Nice vid as usual Pan!
I was hoping u had a polisher on here. As a family man who just likes to keep car and truck clean I was in the market for a random orbital polisher/buffer. Lil over a yr ago I purchased the warrior brand from harbor freight used it probably 4 entire vehicles jobs and all of sudden it just quit. Hoping to stay around $100 but really just want one that should last me years and years considering maybe one use a year. Griots G9 looks great but spending almost 200 for something I don't have to have is keeping me from buying. Thanks!

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.
Ooh dont by the Kirk towels on Amazon. They rake you over the coals. Cosco online they are half that price. the Rag Company Car wash towel is cheap and great for everything. Slightly more GSM the spa towel is great too for everything.
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.
Great video, Pan. Having watched many of your videos, I have almost all of the items you chose in this video. And they all work very well. The only thing I would add is Chemical Guys pad cleaner. It does an excellent job of cleaning polishing pads and microfiber towels that have metal polish residue in them. Keep up the great work.
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
Hey Pan, I've been using the Turtle wax Slick and Slide wash solution...its absolutely an incredible foam solution. Bucket/cannon...just awesome. I bought some griots solution and it barely foamed.(Suggested from 1 of your previous vids) also the Hybrid solutions wheel cleaner and tire dressing....just awesome. Theor products are pretty darn good. Adams detail spray is another one Suggested from your channel, I recently switched to Bead maker...WOW! Amazing. The gauntlet is the bomb as well. Any products I've purchased for my POV, I bought from your suggestions. Lastly, I purchased the Adams Graphene spray but I want to do a lite paint correction first....looking forward to that. Thanks so much for your videos...Ive learned a tremendous amount of detailing knowledge and Challenger Scat Pack has never looked this good. All the best...Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks for that feedback Kevin, and more importantly thanks for the trust you place in my opinion. Of course, I share my recommendations based on my experience with the products, and also I work in a controlled environment (garage, perfect temperature and humidity levels), have 25 years of detailing experience, and have the best equipment (best polishers, best pressure washers, water deionizer, best foam cannons, best tools, etc). So my results may vary from someone else's for different reasons. In the end, people need to do their tests, try different things (as I have done all my life) and see what works best for them, in their world, their budget, their experience. And enjoy the detailing process along the way. :) What's your favourite video on my channel so far, by the way?

As a pro detailer yes for P&S break buster cheap and very good. Not the best but for the price cant be beat. C.G. VRP very good and u can use it on trim too so multi use. Good list pan🤙🏼
Another great drying aid that is budget friendly and will last you a very very long time is Ultima Waterless Wash plus. You use this concentrate to make gallons of detail\drying aid spray using distilled water. It leave the car surface slick and hydrophibic with UV protection for your plastics and paint. I use it every time I wash my car as a drying and my 2012 car continues to look pristine here in NY even though I do not go through the rigourous full paint correction process every year (do not have as much time anymore).
I forgot to add, greenworks has a 1500psi and 1600 psi 1.2gpm portable upright pressure washer that is $100 but frequently goes on sale on Amazon for between $65 and $80 on sale, just got to keep your eye on the pricing. It has the standard industry quick connects. I have been using this for 7 years as a replacement to a noisy gas pressure washer and it still going strong. With the money you save you can purchase a foam cannon, and eventually upgrade the hose and get a pistol style pressure wand.
I have the trinova foam cannon. If you're a fan of a ton of foam, make sure you buy a 1.1mm orifice and a replacement filter. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Hello, what's your gpm on your pressure washer? Do i have to change the filter if I replace the original orifice by a 1.1mm when the foam gun is new? Thank you
It's not necessary to swap orifices normally. If you have a pressure washer delivering over 1.2 GPM of water, you should be fine. Swapping orifices for smaller ones does generate even more foam, but will increase the AMPS drawn by your pressure washer, so be careful as that can cause the circuits to trip, especially if you only have standard 15A circuits.
@@pfrednom8826 I know pan said it's not necessary, but for me, definitely necessary. My pressure washer is rated at 1.76 GPM. Using Trinova, not that THICK foam. Swapped for 1.1mm orifice and noticed a big difference but still wasn't getting the foam you see on popular channel's, such as Pan's. Switched out the foam filter for the ones you can find on Amazon where comes with a foam pad, wire cylinder and another foam and it took my foam to a whole 'nother level. Good luck
I absolutely had to jump in on the Super Clean. I dont know what the cost is in the US, but here in the UK you can get 5 litres (1.3 US gallons) of Bilt Hamber Surfex HD for about £15, and it is the most amazing product and can be diluted down to literally stupid levels to clean ANYTHING!
@@PanTheOrganizer sounds about right. We suffer the same here too. That why we end up paying the equivalent of around $50 to $55 CAD for something like TW Flex Wax when I bet its about 25 to 30 CAD there!
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.
Wow great video once again Pan 👏, this content is great for the diys at home that are looking to keep their vehicles in top condition but not break the bank and also know that this products are going to do the job well thanks again Pan
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.
Thank you Pan. very good in depth video. I believe you covered a good list of less expensive tools and supplies, I prefer the more high end stuff because of the results I get from my customers. actually many of my customer ask for specific products to be used on their vehicles. Many are very knowledgeable and have detailed their own cars, they just don't have the time due to their careers. I'm sure you have clients that do as well. I use some of the equipment and chemical's you mentioned. I use the Bissell pro and I use a McCulloch Steam cleaner and the Vac Master. They are small enough and powerful enough for detailing. If i had a shop I would go with a more powerful set of equipment.P&S is a good line of products.
Awesome Pan. I was expecting a budget polisher to start to do these things on my cars, and you offered us to make a video for this. I add 1 vote to this ;) Merci
You are the master Pan along with another guy here in the UK. I'd appreciate a "tools" update with DA's and Rotary machines and idea pads to use for compounds and polish product. Thanks for the entertainment you do.
Thanks, will do! And by the "other guy in the UK" I'm assuming you're talking about Jon from Forensic Detailing Channel? He is a friend and a great guy! I interviewed him in person in this video: th-cam.com/video/YwLd79AJzGs/w-d-xo.html

Hi Pan. I’ve been burying my head in your videos the past half year and the knowledge you have given me has been incredible. I have totally found my passion and love for car care. My question for you: I’ve recently moved house but want to continue to clean some cars in my driveway. There’s about a 10 meter slope that goes straight into the ocean from my place with no drainage system between. Can you make a video or maybe give me some more information about what I need to look out for on the products I’m using so that I’m not contaminating the nature around me? Many thanks! 😎

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. It would be hard for me to do such a video however as I don't live in those conditions. I would have to research the topic, and it's a bit too niche for this channel perhaps.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I understand it’s definitely something that I myself need to do some more research on. Looking forward to learning more from you.
Thanks Michael. You are at the right place for sure. Even after 25 years of detailing, I still learn new things all the time as the technologies keep evolving (thankfully) and new products, methods and tools are released to make our lives easier and make the process funner. I release videos twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9am EST. Cheers!
Great video Pan. I seen someone made a video on how to make a car detailing video and I was surprised when I seen it wasn't you lol. I thought man this is something I can see Pan doing very well.
Thanks! I made a "how to make a car detailing video" a few years ago with a guest here: th-cam.com/video/gFWGwD7kOMc/w-d-xo.html And I also have this video: th-cam.com/video/nYaxWoorTnI/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer lol I knew it was something right up your alley. Not sure how I missed it I've been watching your videos daily for awhile now. I'll check it out. Thanks pan.

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!
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 :)
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
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.
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!
Amazing, entertaining and educational👍🏻. I would love to see a part two. Phenomenal work Pan as always!
Thank you!! I hope you will have a great weekend.
@@PanTheOrganizer You too Pan, have a fantastic weekend!
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.

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. :)
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.
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 !!
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.
Walmart has a pack of 40 microfiber towels for $17 dollars and they work fantastic
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!
Can't wait to see what I can learn from this video. Hope all is well pan !
Thanks Jorge! I'm doing well and I hope you are too! Have a great weekend!
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!

To answer your question, I don’t clean my tire dressing applicators as that’s their only purpose. I lay them on top of an old microfiber towel after use.
If you want to clean them, just soak them overnight in a solution of hot water and a bit of APC in it (3:1 ratio), brush them and rinse them out the next day.
thank you for a great video. I recently bought a new car and I want Detail at myself instead of going to the car wash. I have learned a lot from your videos and this one is helping me get the tools that I need to do the job myself.!

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.
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
I'm surprised you suggested using brush on piano black interior/exterior as they scratch so easily. I will only use a soft microfibre towel. Gyeon showed a video of how a soft brush can scratch piano black. Look forward to the next helpful video.

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. :)
OMG... Super, Super informative. Just started to get educated on ceramics for my newly acquired 2004 Lincoln Town Car Signiture with 94k. She's a gem that I'll own the rest of my life. Third Owner. FANTASTIC condition.
Last Fall installed an extraordinary sound system - but I digress.... Paint is immaculate for a 20yr old original paint & Top Coat. - Yes, a couple of scratches, nicks, and a slight, very slight Top Coat blemish on the top corner of the passengers rear door.
Not a novice, been cleaning, claybarring, and waxing and Polishing for decades... (funny, no-one mentions using a soft toothbrush). Looking to ceramic coat my first vehicle... Is NexGen ok to use as a spray?

I will say Kirkland towels are great but Walmart has a brand called Platinum Series and they have a 40 pack of yellow multipurpose microfiber towels for $18

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 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 have a Griot's Garage synthetic clay pad and it's great. Between two vehicles I've probably used it a dozen times so far and it's fantastic. Also top tip, it's great for residential glass. I moved into an apartment temporarily while house shopping and my balcony door glass on the outside was weathered and oxidized as residential glass tends to get. Sprayed with some Invisible Glass and used the clay pad. Looks like new. Sparkling and clear.
Great review of products. I’m glad I have most of them in my garage.
Turtle wax Slick n Slide is about the same price as Mr Pink. I have both and I prefer Slick n Slide. A little goes a long way.
Yes that is another great pick for sure!
The Karcher K1700 is CAD$433 in Canada! And that's not including shipping and import fees (US$154).
I have to point this out after doing some digging on my own...the suggested power washer and suggested foam cannon do not mix! the cannon suggested gpm is 1.4 or higher and the suggested power washer you suggest here only reaches 1.2...please be aware of this
I swear by Bilt Hamber Products. Excellent quality and good value for money. Easily available in the UK 🇬🇧
Yes they are awesome!
The Grit Guards are more expensive than the buckets. As for "value" who knows, I'm currently in the "Store" brand of items for cleaning cars, Just due to stock levels of the products I usually use....I am "upset" as i'm starting to suffer from autoglym withdrawal, like their Intensive Tar remover. Nice vid as usual Pan!
I was hoping u had a polisher on here. As a family man who just likes to keep car and truck clean I was in the market for a random orbital polisher/buffer. Lil over a yr ago I purchased the warrior brand from harbor freight used it probably 4 entire vehicles jobs and all of sudden it just quit. Hoping to stay around $100 but really just want one that should last me years and years considering maybe one use a year. Griots G9 looks great but spending almost 200 for something I don't have to have is keeping me from buying. Thanks!
I have a video coming soon for affordable polishers, so stay tuned for that!

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.
I would appreciate you doing a polishing video like this.
and also what products you would recommend from walmart
I'm working on it!! Stay tuned. :)
Ooh dont by the Kirk towels on Amazon. They rake you over the coals. Cosco online they are half that price.
the Rag Company Car wash towel is cheap and great for everything. Slightly more GSM the spa towel is great too for everything.
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.

Great video, Pan. Having watched many of your videos, I have almost all of the items you chose in this video. And they all work very well. The only thing I would add is Chemical Guys pad cleaner. It does an excellent job of cleaning polishing pads and microfiber towels that have metal polish residue in them. Keep up the great work.

Pan I've been binge watching for 72 hours and excited to get to work on my new 2022 Black Ridgeline.

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
Hey Pan, I've been using the Turtle wax Slick and Slide wash solution...its absolutely an incredible foam solution. Bucket/cannon...just awesome. I bought some griots solution and it barely foamed.(Suggested from 1 of your previous vids) also the Hybrid solutions wheel cleaner and tire dressing....just awesome. Theor products are pretty darn good. Adams detail spray is another one Suggested from your channel, I recently switched to Bead maker...WOW! Amazing. The gauntlet is the bomb as well. Any products I've purchased for my POV, I bought from your suggestions. Lastly, I purchased the Adams Graphene spray but I want to do a lite paint correction first....looking forward to that. Thanks so much for your videos...Ive learned a tremendous amount of detailing knowledge and Challenger Scat Pack has never looked this good. All the best...Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks for that feedback Kevin, and more importantly thanks for the trust you place in my opinion. Of course, I share my recommendations based on my experience with the products, and also I work in a controlled environment (garage, perfect temperature and humidity levels), have 25 years of detailing experience, and have the best equipment (best polishers, best pressure washers, water deionizer, best foam cannons, best tools, etc).
So my results may vary from someone else's for different reasons. In the end, people need to do their tests, try different things (as I have done all my life) and see what works best for them, in their world, their budget, their experience. And enjoy the detailing process along the way. :)
What's your favourite video on my channel so far, by the way?
I would replace all those with SPTA. They are cheaper but great quality, brushes, clay mitts, towels, applicators....so on
Great information Pan. Please give us your thoughts on polishing as well.
I am working on it so stay tuned! ;)
Great idea for a video Pan, very informative. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
I have so many of these products in my arsenal (all great!) thanks to watching your channel, Pan! Thank you, for another awesome video!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for making this video!! Useful info.
Thanks Judy!
PAN Excellent list thank you, great list to have when I am replenishing my stock of cleaning items.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks PAN! Very useful info. Closing in on 800k subs , pas pire pour un 'p'tit gars' de Québec ;)
Thanks Johnny!! Oui on montre que nous aussi au Québec on peut avoir parmi les grandes chaînes sur TH-cam. J'en suis la preuve vivante! Près de 800,000 abonnés et 100 millions de vues, ce qui en fait le top 3 mondial des chaînes de detailing sur TH-cam. J'en suis très fier!
C'est énormément de travail produire des vidéos, mais j'adore partager mes connaissances et ma passion avec mes auditeurs qui me suivent au travers de cette belle aventure qu'est l'univers TH-cam.
Pan, this is outstanding. You answered many questions. I took so many notes and will shop with your links. Well done and Thank You
You are so welcome!
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 for sharing! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 1 million subscribers and we have over 140 million views! I have been detailing for 27 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.
As a pro detailer yes for P&S break buster cheap and very good. Not the best but for the price cant be beat. C.G. VRP very good and u can use it on trim too so multi use. Good list pan🤙🏼
Thanks!
Another great drying aid that is budget friendly and will last you a very very long time is Ultima Waterless Wash plus. You use this concentrate to make gallons of detail\drying aid spray using distilled water. It leave the car surface slick and hydrophibic with UV protection for your plastics and paint. I use it every time I wash my car as a drying and my 2012 car continues to look pristine here in NY even though I do not go through the rigourous full paint correction process every year (do not have as much time anymore).
I forgot to add, greenworks has a 1500psi and 1600 psi 1.2gpm portable upright pressure washer that is $100 but frequently goes on sale on Amazon for between $65 and $80 on sale, just got to keep your eye on the pricing. It has the standard industry quick connects. I have been using this for 7 years as a replacement to a noisy gas pressure washer and it still going strong. With the money you save you can purchase a foam cannon, and eventually upgrade the hose and get a pistol style pressure wand.
Thank You for sharing your vast knowledge! Always worth the time to watch the whole video! Thanks Pan! 🤙🤙
Thanks !!
I have the trinova foam cannon. If you're a fan of a ton of foam, make sure you buy a 1.1mm orifice and a replacement filter. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Hello, what's your gpm on your pressure washer?
Do i have to change the filter if I replace the original orifice by a 1.1mm when the foam gun is new?
Thank you
It's not necessary to swap orifices normally. If you have a pressure washer delivering over 1.2 GPM of water, you should be fine. Swapping orifices for smaller ones does generate even more foam, but will increase the AMPS drawn by your pressure washer, so be careful as that can cause the circuits to trip, especially if you only have standard 15A circuits.
@@pfrednom8826 I know pan said it's not necessary, but for me, definitely necessary. My pressure washer is rated at 1.76 GPM. Using Trinova, not that THICK foam. Swapped for 1.1mm orifice and noticed a big difference but still wasn't getting the foam you see on popular channel's, such as Pan's. Switched out the foam filter for the ones you can find on Amazon where comes with a foam pad, wire cylinder and another foam and it took my foam to a whole 'nother level. Good luck
@@pfrednom8826 Check IMJOSHV channel for what i'm talking about
The P&S products are excellent, purchased some after seeing Pan review them. Great video and content as always. Thanks Pan. 👍🏼
Thanks!
Great to see a video like this. Well done as always. Thank you Pan for all the options.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I usually don’t buy armour all products but their ceramic car wash soap works very well and is affordable in price !
I tested that product in this video: th-cam.com/video/7B0UaAcl0xE/w-d-xo.html
I absolutely had to jump in on the Super Clean.
I dont know what the cost is in the US, but here in the UK you can get 5 litres (1.3 US gallons) of Bilt Hamber Surfex HD for about £15, and it is the most amazing product and can be diluted down to literally stupid levels to clean ANYTHING!
Yes BH Surfex HD is an awesome ACP! But hard to find in USA and way more expensive compared to the UK.
@@PanTheOrganizer sounds about right.
We suffer the same here too. That why we end up paying the equivalent of around $50 to $55 CAD for something like TW Flex Wax when I bet its about 25 to 30 CAD there!
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.
Gauntlet towel and waffle weave towels are great.
Wow great video once again Pan 👏, this content is great for the diys at home that are looking to keep their vehicles in top condition but not break the bank and also know that this products are going to do the job well thanks again Pan
Thanks!
Ooh wee. Onr in steam cleaner. Mind blown. I will try it this week.
;)
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.
Thank you soooo much for taking the trouble to do shopping lists for both American and Canadian shoppers. You’re the best!
You are so welcome!
Are u from Canada or the US it's too bad the cdn money is like monopoly when u want to buy something of Amazon or somewhere else .
$4 buckets from Fire House Subs with a $7 grit guard.
Thank you Pan. very good in depth video. I believe you covered a good list of less expensive tools and supplies, I prefer the more high end stuff because of the results I get from my customers. actually many of my customer ask for specific products to be used on their vehicles. Many are very knowledgeable and have detailed their own cars, they just don't have the time due to their careers. I'm sure you have clients that do as well. I use some of the equipment and chemical's you mentioned. I use the Bissell pro and I use a McCulloch Steam cleaner and the Vac Master. They are small enough and powerful enough for detailing. If i had a shop I would go with a more powerful set of equipment.P&S is a good line of products.
Great video!
I’m going to lay down a challenge. I bet you couldn’t do a video for Halfords, in the UK!
Awesome Pan. I was expecting a budget polisher to start to do these things on my cars, and you offered us to make a video for this. I add 1 vote to this ;) Merci
You’ll be happy to hear that I’m working on that video. So stay tuned! ;)
You are the master Pan along with another guy here in the UK. I'd appreciate a "tools" update with DA's and Rotary machines and idea pads to use for compounds and polish product. Thanks for the entertainment you do.
Thanks, will do! And by the "other guy in the UK" I'm assuming you're talking about Jon from Forensic Detailing Channel? He is a friend and a great guy! I interviewed him in person in this video: th-cam.com/video/YwLd79AJzGs/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer yes Jon at forensic..... your both fantastic and are the reason I'm a weekend warrior . This detailing lark helps with de-stressing after a week at work. So your both helping in a heath way too hahahahahaha. Keep going !!!!
Heheh thanks mate! Have a great weekend!
This is really good informative video for people like who are just starting 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Pan. I’ve been burying my head in your videos the past half year and the knowledge you have given me has been incredible. I have totally found my passion and love for car care.
My question for you:
I’ve recently moved house but want to continue to clean some cars in my driveway. There’s about a 10 meter slope that goes straight into the ocean from my place with no drainage system between. Can you make a video or maybe give me some more information about what I need to look out for on the products I’m using so that I’m not contaminating the nature around me?
Many thanks! 😎

It would be hard for me to do such a video however as I don't live in those conditions. I would have to research the topic, and it's a bit too niche for this channel perhaps.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for taking the time to reply to me.
I understand it’s definitely something that I myself need to do some more research on.
Looking forward to learning more from you.
Thanks Michael. You are at the right place for sure. Even after 25 years of detailing, I still learn new things all the time as the technologies keep evolving (thankfully) and new products, methods and tools are released to make our lives easier and make the process funner.
I release videos twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9am EST.
Cheers!
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. ;)
Great video Pan. I seen someone made a video on how to make a car detailing video and I was surprised when I seen it wasn't you lol. I thought man this is something I can see Pan doing very well.
Thanks! I made a "how to make a car detailing video" a few years ago with a guest here: th-cam.com/video/gFWGwD7kOMc/w-d-xo.html
And I also have this video: th-cam.com/video/nYaxWoorTnI/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer lol I knew it was something right up your alley. Not sure how I missed it I've been watching your videos daily for awhile now. I'll check it out. Thanks pan.
