The good thing is now days we don’t need to get the most expensive coatings or to go and learn from them how to etc etc bc some brands liken diy or pan amd some other brands they have the technology to make them prime coatings and to work like the expensive ones and even better at the end what matters is the quality and how long can really stay on the car
Hey man I wanted to thank you for your review. You did a thorough job with the prep and the results speak for themselves! I was just as excited as you were when you were talking about gloss and slickness which will also continue to get better as the coating reaches its full cure. And those hydrophobic properties! I still laugh and smile every time I look at the water behaviour. Water just doesn’t want to stick to the surface. :) For the application, I think you did well in readjusting. When trying a new coating for the first time, we get a feel for flashing times and levelling, and readjust based on conditions. It’s best to follow the instructions and wait the 1-2 minutes even if you see rainbowing before. The coating is very forgiving and will still be easy to level and buff. And for the applicator that is supplied in the box, you are right, it does have a saver liner in it to prevent wasting product. I recommend people try that applicator first. Overall great job man, I’m super happy you enjoyed it and am looking forward to future updates! I wish you great success with your TH-cam channel!
Thanks Pan! Good call out, every new product has a learning curve. Once I adjusted, the flash time it was no issue based on my conditions. It's so forgiving I even went longer then 2 min and it was still fine. No issue with high spots. Removal was a breeze. Everyone should be able to apply this coating safely and effectively. Also, it keeps getting slicker and glossier....I keep going in the garage to look at it. Looking forward to posting an update on the first wash. And yes....it's recommended to use the supplied applicator! I'm just stubborn lol.
Pan, definitely you need to update that picture and having it smiling. It looks like a passport photo instead of an inviting and pleasing use of the product 👍🏼😁
@FineDetailingAZ That's right!. Even it made you smile, so it definitely is legit, at least on that experience. Now, let's see how it really does in terms of durability in the real world, which obviously will vary per environment
I know some people had an issue with Pan saying it's the "best ceramic in the world," but whatever! You should have pride in the products you put out and why would anyone aim to be just ok or the status quo?? Obviously saying some is the "best" is going to be subjective, but we also know Pan isn't going to put his name on something that he feels is just as good as the rest. I personally haven't found a "holy crap!!!" difference in gloss from one coating to the next, I think we often convince ourselves one product is heads and tails above another, after all, the human eye can only pick up a certain level of gloss. Regardless, I'm definitely looking forward to trying this.
@@1Nevergone totally agree gloss is hard to tell the difference by eye. I think you’ll love it. The slickness is crazy good and the water behavior. FD10 will save you 10%!
My order for the 8 Year Ceramic was delivered yesterday. Thanks for doing this video. It gives me a good idea of what to expect when I apply it later this week.
@@FineDetailingAZ I just finished polishing my 2023 Honda Passport in Lunar Silver with DIY's Gold Standard Polish using their 5" yellow pad and then prep washing with Pan's prep spray. I had the same experience as you with wait times with the 8 Year Coating. Rainbowing was almost immediate. I waited for up to three or four minute and found that it didn't really make any difference in leveling. I standardized on a two minute flash time and the results were fantastic. I can't stop running my hand over the finish and admiring the slickness. The gloss is great, and seems to be getting better as it cures, but it makes it obvious that I could have polished out a bit more of the orange peel in the factory clear coat. I'd read that Hondas can have soft paint, so I tried to err on the side of caution. I couldn't be happier with the results!
Thank you for presenting a honest review. Like you said, Pan has tested a lot and knows what he wants. I trust his comments. His presentations are positive, he knows what he has and is proud of his and others efforts. I for one will use Pans Clean and give away my current brands.
@@bruceolmsted3544 thanks for watching and commenting! I also trust him. That’s the beauty of this industry it doesn’t have to be a monopoly, you can use multiple brands and still have fun detailing. You should keep the ones you like, work his in your lineup and purge the rest. I always keep a revolving door or products, the fun in it.
Thanks for sharing! I just received the 8 year coating. Can't wait to put it on. I don't have the experience to know if it will be the best or not, but I got into detailing because of Pan and wanted to give it a chance. Can't fault a man for chasing his dream and I hope his product line does well
I must have watched this 20 times. I’m jealous on one hand but content with my c6 hydrolite. My turbo mazda has the 46v soul red crystal paint and like you, I spent 3 days on the correction and touch up. It’s stunning in full sun but the fun is the occasional rain. I can tell the wind direction in the way the water sheds off at 30 mph. Your beemer came out stunning also. I was ready to choke myself if I saw one more coating demo on a white car that you can’t see on video. So thanks so much. It’s quite possible Pans 8 yr is the best. It certainly is priced well.
I'm a fan of Pan and I've subscribed to your channel because you produced a very good, unbiased video of Pans Clean coating. I expext that you will be very pleased with the performance of his product. People have to remember that after the coating is applied, there is mainto be done to maximize the performance over time. I think many apply it and expect it do perform at 100% for the 3, 5 or 8 years on it's own.
I just got my order of CLEAN yesterday. Can’t wait to get my brand new deep black pearl VW GTI coated in a couple days! BTW Pans tire dressing is looking great two days after applying. Thanks so much on the heads up on the thickness
The algorithm brought me here, and I’m glad it did! You did a fantastic job with the video, explaining your reasoning, showing your initial impressions and not shying away from your potentially negative takes based on a well vetted resume of experience. I have no criticism, just remember that views and timing should never take a front seat to preparation and performance. Make sure your results are true and honest, and upload only when those are fulfilled. Liked, subscribed, and commented to boost your channel. PS: thanks for not using a white car.
Thanks for watching! Integrity is very important to me and earning trust of my viewers is my number one priority. My videos should reflect that. I got lucky on being the first one to post a video on this.
I consider myself a supportor of Pan even though he probably never know I exist lol been watching and following his videos from he had a few thousand subs and always showed my clients his videos when they asked about products I've used on their vehicles, however its a sad disappointing thought that Pan said his products would be world wide but then only considers 5 counties to be the world. I've watched all his videos on clean now seeing other TH-camrs have the great opportunity to actually use them knowing that I won't be able to do the same or maybe in a few years to come at 5 or 6 times the actual price when or if it makes its way to my country. I'm sure it's because many overseas countries has the impression that my country only has poor people but doesn't realise there are other people who is doing quite okay and like me has the burning passion for detailing and cars. Anyway great video man looking forward to the other clean product reviews!!!
Hi! Always nice to see long time followers commenting. What country are you from? We are always looking to add more countries in the future, based on demand. The global distributors of my products are The House Of Rags, so you could write to them and let them know you’d like to see CLEAN By Pan products in your country. For now, we launched in USA and Canada. By the end of October, if all goes as planned, we should be in the UK, pretty much all of Europe, Australia, and Japan. That’s a lot of countries for a new brand. Thanks for your support!
Thanks . Good video. Camera placement was spot on. The after did look glossier. I went back to the bewdoes ro xheck again, and flad the camera position was in pretty much the same spot. Good video. Thanks
Thanks for the review. Waiting for it to be available in Australia. Might be the first detaling related TH-cam video I'll be doing. Got some C6 and other coatings that I'll compare against. Hopefully its as good as its promoted to be. Subbed and liked too.
Thank you! C6 is excellent as well. I'd put this toe to toe with C6. I'm a pro installer and I can say it stands at the top of the pack with the best of them.
Based on my application of hundreds of ceramic coatings. I was referring to application, gloss and hydrophobics. 95% of coatings on the market today haven't been out long enough to test long term real world durability so we as consumers are flying blind on most of them because companies are always changing formulas. I'm confident this coating won't fail like Cerakote did so I have to assume it will hold up long term like we assume C6 Hydrolite will. Hydrolite has only been on the market for a matter of months so we really don't know the durability of that one either. Hope that clarifies my comment!
Love this style of video and attention to detail and commentary. You talk out loud almost all the same ideas and rational that goes on in my head as i am alone working on a vehicle with new coating. SUBSCRIBED FOLLOWED and told my MOMMA AND DADDY to follow as well. Keep up aweome work.
Thanks for the support! Yeah...I talk try to talk out loud like you are there with me. Sometimes I like to try stuff first but I thought it would be helpful to get people my honest opinion in real time.
From previous and ongoing application of ceramic coating products, most of the time when you feel like you’re pushing around the product, it’s the transfer solution that is being removed during the initial leveling process. Gyeon Mohs Evo flashes in 15 to 30 seconds.
Great video! I appreciate the transparency and testing of multiple applications and wait times. We all "interpret" the instructions differently 😂. I look forward to the check-ups as that is where coatings really separate themselves from each other. Liked and subscribed!
I must say, coming from the first 3rd party review I’ve seen of this coating.. I was quite disappointed with the performance/application considering the claims Pan was drilling into his videos again and again. Thanks for this video though! I appreciate your content and will continue to tune in as I respect your unbiased input.
Thanks man, appreciate the support. To be clear I think there was just a learning curve with the application, it's thicker then anything I've used and so it just felt different on level and removal. Came off super easy and I'd put the hydrophobics up against anything else out there. I'll get a video up of the first wash outside so hopefully we can see the water behavior a little better.
@@justlovethisgame3537 thanks for watching. What were you disappointed with? I hope people just understand it’s a ceramic coating. I’m not sure what everyone was expecting!
@@BamaJoeBob I’m glad you asked. Look, I think we all knew Pans coatings would be good.. it’s not all that hard nowadays especially if you have connections in the industry with people that have had past success. But when you come out the gates making these outlandish claims like he always talks about others doing that it’s the best coating in the world, ever, PERIOD. And that it’s also the easiest coating to apply in the world. And it has the best hydrophobics in the world. Not a single one of those claims looked to be true in this review. I could go more into depth but I really think it’s as simple as that
You did a great job explaining each step you were taking with this much anticipated coating. Hope you do durability reports every couple months on this 8-year coating.
I have used several brands over the years with my exotic car collection and trucks and up till my love for Gyeon MOHS and SKIN i loved Dura Ceramic but Gyeon is IMO the king of coatings and find it hard to beat. I did 3 Coats of MOHS and 2 Coats of Skin and wow it's like extremely slick, water and soap can't stick and it's self-cleaning is like wow factor.... My 720s is might try Clean and see... Pan is a fellow watch collector and appreciate his work but also agree with some of his fans....Everyone has the best so that said makes it hard to believe until I compare.
@@TRX2021 thanks for watching brother…no denying Gyeon has some solid coatings. That said this was a single layer and you get the same performance as you do with 5 coats plus a 1/4 of the time. I have a business too so I can’t spend the time doing 5 layers. When you get ready to try it you can used FD10 for 10% off for my viewers.
Awesome review!!! Looks like Pan is living up to my expectations 😊... I prefer for the water to sheet right off and this looks to be the case ❤, correct me if I am wrong!
Thank you for watching! I think it had a little of both? On the door is beaded and hood a spray upward and it sheeted. Either way it leaves the panel soooo quickly.
Awe man I got the 3 year coating this week so this is great. I hope it’s the better for application for me… it sucks you didn’t know if it was too much or not. The thickness part can be more of a con than not… especially after your video. I hope it’s easy cause I’m a noob 😭 And also, with the whole Pan thing, I don’t doubt his products are great. But him posting the video and picking his own for a best of 2024 video was a cornball move and bad business. But anyways appreciate the video bro! 😊
@@jefferrrson1x don’t sweat it you’ll be fine. Even if it’s thick the removal is easy. With others that are high solids and quick cure times like Nasiol 272 it can be an issue but I have ZERO issues leveling and wiping. You should have plenty of time. Super user friendly.
Not sure if it was my bottle but when I used Gyeon Pure EVO (my first ever coating), it was very similar in that it did not pour out of the bottle. It also rainbowed very quick. They say with Pure EVO, they put as much solids in it as possible so maybe it is similar, but Pure is not that slick
@@Bruces-Garage thanks for watching Bruce! I tried to keep it real as always. This was big commitment to make and I’m glad it turned out well. The packaging is very similar to Gyeon In my opinion, but to be fair it gets thrown away so I didn’t sweat it.
@FineDetailingAZ I don't see how it looks anything like Gyeon, Gyeon looks like they paid a high end designer to make it, this looks like a college kid tried to design it lol
Thanks for watching, I meant it looks like Gyeon in the way of it being similar glossy plastic packaging. I think his design is understated...in person the reverse water beads are pretty cool.
Thank you for the honest review! You did a great job. I have feelings on the application. I like how it’s very forgiving, but seems like leveling and buffing could use an improvement. But I will find out when I receive my coating. The hydrophobics on it tho look awesome. To me…very impressed with that. Again, thank you for the review and will looking forward to your update video on it.
@@stevecharnasjr.7241 my pleasure. To clarify I just needed to figure out the learning curve. It’s a thicker coating and removal should be done at 2 minutes max even if it rainbows. I figured it out and it’s super easy to remove.
Thanks for the independent review, subscribed. For someone that doesn't typically do ceramic coatings and is just a noob, which coating have you used that's easiest to use but still performs?

Thanks for the thorough review. I really enjoyed the calm style and tips and adjustment process. I’m getting the same car in a few weeks also in dravit grey, how was the prepping stage? You mentioned wool pads for a new car, was it in such bad shape or a very hard paint? I was hoping on getting a perfect result with a Koch m3 polish on a Rupes ultra fine pad. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks for watching! Excited for your new X5. I don't imagine you'll need wool pads. I built mine and they shipped it to the dealership then BMW had the stop sale. Breaking system recall so it had to sit on the lot for a month (my worst nightmare) had a ton of water spots. I released the videos out of order I have one doing the decon and one doing the polishing. I was honestly planning on using with Pan's polish to just polish or KcX M3. That should be all you need. Because it's my baby I was going to do a KcX with Yellow pad or KCX purple pad then finish with Jeweling like reflect or uno pure. You'll see in my video though. I jeweled the heck out of it!
@@FineDetailingAZ that’s a good idea. It also makes me feel so lost if I can’t see how much I’m using and/or how quickly I’m going through the bottle during application. Seeing this helps me manage over and under application. I can get a little generous and waste product if not.
Thank you for the video. Badass car too. I've been a long time Pan fan and I should've ordered everything the day of launch because nothing has been in stock since. I totally missed out. Maybe it'll all be back around Christmas time. I wish I could get my hands on it now though. I'll have to learn patience. LOL!!! I look forward to more of your videos. Have a great day.
@@GRJCLyon thanks for watching. The ceramic coatings are in stock and they gave me a 10% off code for my viewers for anything on the house of rags FD10 saves you 10%. Hope that helps
@@FineDetailingAZ yes it was I use Gtechniq coatings a lot so would to see your opinion between Pan and Gtechniq coatings. I have been using the CSL and Exo 2 layer system and their wheel coating on personal cars and clients cars.
Thanks for watching. EXO is slicker on application but after a couple of minutes Pan's coating is much slicker. Once cured (only 2 days it's even slicker so far). Application is standard just per your conditions. I had a learning curve the first panel I did then I figured it out. Also this is only one layer vs multiple like CSL/EXO. He says you can layer it but I went with one layer on everything. The center portion of the hood I did 2 just for testing. Cure time is much faster can wet in 1 hour vs 12 hours to gtech I think it is? 12 hours until ph neutral wash vs Gtech is 7 days. Lots of improvements in my opinion. Have a coupon code for my viewers if you want to try it. FD10 Saves 10% and 5% on Clean products at The House Of Rags: bit.ly/TheHouseOfRagsFD10
Just 2 to 3 mins into watching your video and dropping a comment. Waiting for my 8 Year coating here in Canada where I ordered in first 18 hours after the product line intro/release. House of Rags should update everyone for the Canadian Warehousing situation, want to do the coating next week on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.
I think you did Pan proud Ryan!! Looks like it definitely lives up to being what people would call a premium coating..looking forward to seeing updates !!
Hey great video! I'm thinking about buying this and now I'm definitely going to pull the trigger. One question though - does it really improve gloss? I saw some videos from dmitry's garage and others using glossmeters saying that ceramic coatings, and any other coatings, actually reduce gloss a little or keep it the same. Thanks.
@@JohnDavillis thanks for watching I didn’t measure with a gloss meter but to my eye it certainly doesn’t look like it decreases gloss. I think you will be happy with the result. The polishing makes the biggest difference in gloss. Feel free to use FD10 to get 10% off. They added me to affiliate program after the video was posted so now I can give viewers 10% off. Hope that helps.
Great to see the application process and your experimentation with it. It looks to be VERY user friendly, and competitively priced. I've yet to try a ceramic coating, being a ceramic spray guy to-date but will try a coating next Spring. I'll be really interested to see how this fairs in actual use on the road. I think anything can look great at the first application. My ceramic spray does for sure but give it a week of wet weather and the lower halves of the doors are fading fast. However, a quick pre--rinse and 'wash and wax' maintainer and it's good to go again. Does a ceramic coating help at all with reducing marring? That's my problem with my soft Toyota paint. I've heard ceramic coatings are not of benefit for that.
Hey Allen, thanks for watching. It is very easy to apply. We will certainly see how it holds and I'll give updates as we progress. Ceramic sprays aren't as durable as coatings so I think if you try a coating you will be pleasantly surprised. If they clog you can simply unclog them with some acidic shampoo or water spot remover. Ceramic coatings don't really protect against scratching they provide a small sacrificial layer for your paint. If you want more protection I'd look into PPF but even then that's not impervious to scratching.

@@Chancy454SS sheesh! Tell em how you really feel lol. All good brother I didn’t know you just coated your car. Wouldn’t make sense to polish and recoat.
Great video. I have the 8 year on its way yo me. Should be here tomorrow and will probably get it on the car this week. Im really shocked that you went through as little product as you did because of how thick it is in the bottle. Going through 10 mills an SUV doesnt seem right.
Gyeon MOHS + SKIN (Synchro EVO) I remember was thick and took a lot of shaking downward to get drops onto the applicator, very similar to this stuff. Not sure also about the insert thingy design on the bottles Gyeon used or Pan used.
Thanks for watching, I never mentioned anything about a Gyeon chemist. I only mentioned that his packaging reminded me of Gyeon packaging. Only that is was glossy plastic box.
Thank you for the review, lots of people waiting for an independent opinion. What towel did you use for the buffing? And if I may ask how many total towels did it take?
Thank you for watching! Grey towel is here: amzn.to/3ZSzNJe Blue is here:amzn.to/4eQaMTb both Rag co pearl weave. I used 3 of each, but could have gotten by 2 each. I dropped 2 so had to toss them.
@@FineDetailingAZ Excellent I actually have an unopened pack of those! Appreciate you letting us watch you work your way through the process, it will help anyone else who decides to try Pan’s coating. Glad it turned out so well.
@@RichardMJr haven’t tried that one yet. I think it crosslinks for sure it’s just thicker so takes a little extra wiping. It wasn’t labor intensive and it came right off then the slickness shined through shortly after.
Thanks for a good review, appreciate you showing Pan some love. Everyone was upset when Pan said, “ best in the world”, but everyone forgot he also said, “ in his opinion..” Pan is the man!! I appreciated your time and energy in making this video and giving us an unbiased review. I liked and subscribed. Good luck with your new car and your channel.
Thanks for showing Pan some love! I trust his endorsements and have learned so much from him. Looking forward to having the same experience that you had coating my vehicle. Why is it when someone talks up their own products, they are now referred to as “controversial”? Thanks for an unbiased review!
@@FineDetailingAZ Yes, I saw a lot of the blowback he got for including his products in the “best of” podcast. In my opinion, it was a double-edged sword. We all know the sh*t-fit some folks had by including them but if he had not included them, then what would be the purpose of creating an inferior line of products and convincing folks to buy it? Social media has spawned so many bad actors with their fake outrage in an attempt to get “likes”. Thanks for a great video and for what you do for the industry. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to future videos.
@@NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM thanks! Just checked they aren’t in stock. I just ordered some highly rated ones on Amazon. Usually can’t go wrong. Pro tip make sure they have a plug some come set up for hard wiring.
The only negative comments was towards the ridiculous rankings on his product awards of his & detail co products!! Kinda big headed to boast it's the best in the world, when not even been released on the public for a month yet!!
Great review! Pan had mentioned in his video about how there's no need for a topper. Did you happen to notice if there are water spots left behind? I know that there are coatings that have major water spot problems if you don't use their preferred toppers. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Neal, I didn't noice any water spots. I hit it with the ego blower and drying towel right after. I didn't want to risk a water spot that soon after application. We'll see how it holds up. I do NOT like toppers on coatings so this was an attraction for me. I can't stand it when companies recommend toppers. You are seeing the behavior of the topper not the coating. I get it...it's the protection for the protection but we did all that work so I want to see how the coating really performs. Sorry for the rant lol, just adding my two cents on toppers.
@@FineDetailingAZ No, please rant! I am also not a fan of having to apply toppers. I'd left a comment to Pan to let him know that it was great that he wanted a coating that didn't require a topper. To me, not having to apply a topper saves so much time. Also, the one hour cure time is incredible considering other coatings requite at least 12+ hours to cure. I'm rooting for Pan's line to excel. He's received a lot of angry feedback in the comment section.
@@nealwhite1474 Agree, I know his line will do well. I'm really excited for the shampoo and I need to get the rinse less. I think it's cool that you can wash with pH neutral soap in only 12 hours. He did get some hate but I hope the haters quietly still buy and try. They will have a different opinion once they use the coating at least...that's all I've tried so far.
Totally fair, but at the end of the day he put out an awesome product. I think it competes with the best of them out there. As it cures it's only getting slicker and the gloss is crazy good. Thanks for watching!
I use Fireball and ADS coatings. Wonder how it stacks up against those. I really want to see his Ceramic Spray Sealant and how it stacks up to the competition and to see if it make the rotation in my detail shop
I haven't tried Fireball yet and ADS is solid. Worth a shot giving it a try...They just added me to the affiliate so you can use FD10 to save you 10%. Note they added me after this video was made but it helps to pay to buy products and do reviews. I'm sure his spray ceramic is stout. I'll order it when it's back in stock.
@@FineDetailingAZ yeah my order of his Sealant, Polish and soap is finally getting delivered tomorrow. Hope they are worth the hype. And I ordered ADS glass V2 which is also getting delivered tomorrow as well. That window coating looks insane 🔥
Thanks for the review. I’ll pass. I’m interested in trying Meguiars M888 next. Have you tried that? The application seems unlike any other coating out there.
Thanks for watching! Someone actually said they thought the application was similar to Meguiars? I think EC details did a review on it, but I haven't tried it.

@@FineDetailingAZ The only negative I’ve heard, and it’s minor, is that some of the current batch of stock might be a tad towards borderline older now due to slow sales of it. But I know the guys at Meguiars personally, and should be able to get some new virgin stock at their headquarters which is a fairly short drive from where I’m at.
Premium? Ok post the MSDS sheet - give us percentage of chemicals/solvents within product so we know exactly what we are buying. There are only a handful of companies producing and mixing chemicals within coating so Pan could be slapping (premium label) on anything of which he has entered into agreement with whatever company for marketing purposes. Post the MSDS give us a breakdown of what exactly is in it
Hi thanks for watching, the SDS sheets are listed on each product page of the website. You can find them there. Pan mentioned his products are proprietary so it wouldn't make any business sense to just give people the exact recipe like Coca Cola wouldn't share their recipes.thehouseofrags.com/collections/clean-by-pan-the-organizer/products/ceramic-coating
@@FineDetailingAZ yep as suspected so marked “trade secret” don’t know exact nor will list exact quantities nor parts per thousand in a “ premium coating” 🙄 🤔 also already know these chemical bonding emulsion are made in Korea, Germany, China, or DOW chemicals here in USA so again Just marketing hype with “ premium” as the buzz word - I’ll kick in money to have it sent to a lab and autopsy what’s in any premium coating. Aminosiloxanes are Siloxanes modifed with Nitrogen groups. The modification degree lead to an optimal performance in aqueous or solvent borne formulations for home and car care applications. These products are excellently suited for a use in polishes, wax formulations and drying aids in automatic or manual car wash and provide for perfect drying characteristics including a good water repellence and excellent gloss.
Yeah I don't think any company would share full product ingredients, like I mentioned that gives them a competitive advantage or else everyone would rip them off. As for the chemicals you listed....I have no idea because I'm not a chemist. Are you?
Another great video Ryan! Thanks for walking us through the installation. Appreciate how you talked through your process when applying a new coating for the first time and stress starting with a small section until you get comfortable with the flash time and leveling. Can't wait to see the first wash and update videos down the road. The car looks amazing! Too bad it's hard to show the nuances of the color and metallic in videos. Looking forward to the ADS Glass v2.
Do you think maybe if you used the applicator it came with, the application process would've been more simple? In any case,i think this is exactly the review i was waiting on. I think you did a great job.
Hey, thanks for watching! I don't think it would have made a difference as the applicator I used has the same technology. Microfiber with a save pad in the middle. So both had some plastic in it. Once I figured out my flash time and followed the instructions all was well. FD10 will save you 10% if you want to give it a shot.
@@beijingbiden5931 thanks’ have you? I haven’t been willing to drop the cash on it. If they send it to me I’ll try it but they claim 25 year coating….. big claim
Thanks for watching, I did apply it to the headlights and the grill. I don't have any plastic trim on this vehicle though. When I do my update I'll show water behavior on each area.
I'm also giving Pan the benefit of the doubt. He's passionate and has probably tried more products than any other person alive. I've only tried one of his products so far. If it's any indication of the rest of his line, I think he will eventually be vindicated. CLEAN. Rinse-Less is one of the best I've ever used (and I've used pretty much all of them at this point).
Yeah, agreed I'm excited for the rest of his line. I have the polish, shampoo and panel prep coming. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
Overhyped and underperforming just like we all thought. Sham the organizer does it again. Thank you for your review and showing the true bones of this crap
@DensePillow Did we watch the same video? I thought he showed how great the performance was and only after an hour of curing? Those hydrophobics were pretty good!! Not to mention, the slickness he stated kept getting better over time as he went back to those panels …Pan states too that the slickness and gloss will just keep escalating as it cures the full 7 days I believe it is-I saw anything but a sham
@@autopilot7353 I wouldn’t know in all fairness. I don’t try products that require you to pay them a fee to use their product. If they have changed that I’d be happy to try it.
B pillars are piano black and scratch easily. I'm not a fan of PPF on the hood because as soon as there is a rock chip then the PPF looks bad and I spent so much on it I'd be mad. Instead I just do touch up paint, a quick wet sand and polish and you can barely see any chips. Just my preference.
Unbiased review??? At the start of the vid you said to go and subscribe to Pan's channel and how can you say its a premium product when its barely been in your car an hour. Looks like it goes on exactly like Autoglym HD cermaic coating.
Thanks for watching. We have a youtube and detailing community and we support each other, mentioning to subscribe doesn't mean I'm bias. Based on installing many ceramic coating brands some pro only and some consumer based I can confidently say this is in the premium category based on the performance of it. My experience allows me to make that determination.
Thanks for watching! I'm not a fan of it because if I get a rock chip then the PPF looks bad and I'll want to replace the whole thing. I also worry about it fading over time too. Just personal preference, nothing wrong with PPF.
Good vid… Funny how chipper you were to start, then how tired you seemed at the end. I’m thinking it was kinda frustrating trying to figure out the proper timing with this coating. Car looks real good though, but it should. That color should pop with any quality coating. So I’m not seeing anything groundbreaking here. The water behavior seems in line with Hydro Lite, DIYs 8yr, BC7, and other top products. The proof will be in the durability, the ability to resist spotting, and clogging. Honestly, what can you really show from a video, except installation? 8 year coating, 2 layers, lol… whyyyyy?! That pic was cringe my man. You gonna frame it? What’s the temp resistance at? Can it go on wheels? Did you do all the trim?
Hey Walter! Yeah the first level I only waited 30 seconds but then I waited the full 2 minutes when it rainbowed and that was good. Haha I was just tired because I started at 6am.... It's just thicker then most coatings so there was a learning curve. I'm hopeful that the thicker application will add to the durability. I did only do one layer though. Hydrophobics were solid and I'll do a wash outside with some good lighting. Agreed it's top tier for sure. Pan is excited for his coating, as he should be but I can confirm it's a player at the top. Unsure of the temp rating. Per the website: Safe for all exterior surfaces (paint, glass, wheels, plastic trim, lights, PPF, vinyl wraps), including matte finishes. I added it to the grill but I'm going to do the lower front bumper and wheels with Ethos Max just to try a few different products.
@@FineDetailingAZ lots of new coatings rainbow quickly now. The last one I used, exactly the same. Really confusing about when to level. In my head, I’m saying…. Leave it as long as possible. But in the end, it didn’t matter. These coatings are setting up, and bonding quickly. Shorter cure times by a lot now. I think my last coating was 5 hours. But thick, yes, high solids for sure. Nothing 5+ years should be thin. We are at a time, where manufacturers are pushing boundaries, and creating a category between Driveway/Consumer & Professional. An Enthusiast level. Slightly more complicated products to use, with attributes of the mystical “pro only” realm. Look, you will never fully realize if the coating will last 8 years. It’s just a number defined in theory, and many companies do it. For me, I’m from a profession that always under promise, and attempts to over produce. That’s the area to live in. No hype, all cases are different, promise the minimum. Expectations being met are important, greater than expectation, is how you develop a solid reputation. I look forward to the rest of this series, should be fun.
Thanks for watching, at the end of the day it is just a ceramic coating! As it's been curing it has been getting slicker. I'll do a water behavior test on my first wash soon.
I think the controversy comes with the affiliate program and the old “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours”. Sorry, I see guys pushing themselves as detailers when they’ve literally never detailed professionally or they’ve just been glorified car washers and are now trying to reimagine themselves for TH-cam. The best detailers around aren’t on TH-cam being product schills.
Thanks for watching. Affiliate links are totally optional and they just help to buy more products. No one sent me these products, I paid for them myself. Making content and buying products takes time and money and affiliate links help to support that. They also allow my viewers to get a coupon code so it's a win win in my eyes. I'm not sure if you are saying I'm not a real detailer so I'll fill you in. I've been detailing for 15 years and I own my detailing business. I follow a lot of hard working detailers especially mobile detailers (Serrano and DBK) that also use TH-cam for another source of income and education. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, thanks for watching.
@@FineDetailingAZ I wasn’t singling you out. So here’s the core of the issue with affiliate links. If you negatively review a product, there’s zero revenue opportunity. So there’s incentive to give positive reviews. You’ll get people to buy using the affiliate link, and you’ll be viewed as “friendly” by other product manufacturers and receive free products or affiliate program participation. Most, if not all TH-cam detailers either or hide or claim it’s just optional and helps the channel. I appreciate that you’ve put 15 years into your business and wish you continued success.
Awesome video! I've never installed a ceramic coating, so I may be talking out of my rear end, but could using the out of the box applicator given you more of the experience you're used to? You used another applicator and am just wondering if it could make a difference or not. Thoughts?
I just prefer the applicator I used. They both have the same tech meaning there is a plastic layer behind the microfiber to keep it from soaking in and wasting product. The application was fine just a different experience because it was thicker. I adjusted my my approach and all went well.

The good thing is now days we don’t need to get the most expensive coatings or to go and learn from them how to etc etc bc some brands liken diy or pan amd some other brands they have the technology to make them prime coatings and to work like the expensive ones and even better at the end what matters is the quality and how long can really stay on the car
Hey man I wanted to thank you for your review. You did a thorough job with the prep and the results speak for themselves! I was just as excited as you were when you were talking about gloss and slickness which will also continue to get better as the coating reaches its full cure.
And those hydrophobic properties! I still laugh and smile every time I look at the water behaviour. Water just doesn’t want to stick to the surface. :)
For the application, I think you did well in readjusting. When trying a new coating for the first time, we get a feel for flashing times and levelling, and readjust based on conditions.
It’s best to follow the instructions and wait the 1-2 minutes even if you see rainbowing before. The coating is very forgiving and will still be easy to level and buff.
And for the applicator that is supplied in the box, you are right, it does have a saver liner in it to prevent wasting product. I recommend people try that applicator first.
Overall great job man, I’m super happy you enjoyed it and am looking forward to future updates!
I wish you great success with your TH-cam channel!
Thanks Pan! Good call out, every new product has a learning curve. Once I adjusted, the flash time it was no issue based on my conditions. It's so forgiving I even went longer then 2 min and it was still fine. No issue with high spots. Removal was a breeze. Everyone should be able to apply this coating safely and effectively.
Also, it keeps getting slicker and glossier....I keep going in the garage to look at it. Looking forward to posting an update on the first wash.
And yes....it's recommended to use the supplied applicator! I'm just stubborn lol.
Pan, definitely you need to update that picture and having it smiling. It looks like a passport photo instead of an inviting and pleasing use of the product 👍🏼😁
yes Humberto! We need to see that classic Pan smile!
@FineDetailingAZ That's right!. Even it made you smile, so it definitely is legit, at least on that experience. Now, let's see how it really does in terms of durability in the real world, which obviously will vary per environment
Yes! I'll be providing updates as we go.
I have the 3 year Pan absolutely killed it!!!
Nice! Excited to hear how people like the 3 year.
For all the OCD car detailing people on here, whining ,complaining, criticizing, go do what makes you happy . Detail a car or two.
@@alansh1492 well said. Thanks for watching.
I know some people had an issue with Pan saying it's the "best ceramic in the world," but whatever! You should have pride in the products you put out and why would anyone aim to be just ok or the status quo?? Obviously saying some is the "best" is going to be subjective, but we also know Pan isn't going to put his name on something that he feels is just as good as the rest. I personally haven't found a "holy crap!!!" difference in gloss from one coating to the next, I think we often convince ourselves one product is heads and tails above another, after all, the human eye can only pick up a certain level of gloss. Regardless, I'm definitely looking forward to trying this.
@@1Nevergone totally agree gloss is hard to tell the difference by eye. I think you’ll love it. The slickness is crazy good and the water behavior. FD10 will save you 10%!
1st 3rd party unbiased review out there finally. Thank you for keeping it real.
I got you. Thanks for watching.
My order for the 8 Year Ceramic was delivered yesterday. Thanks for doing this video. It gives me a good idea of what to expect when I apply it later this week.
Thanks for watching, enjoy it!
@@FineDetailingAZ I just finished polishing my 2023 Honda Passport in Lunar Silver with DIY's Gold Standard Polish using their 5" yellow pad and then prep washing with Pan's prep spray. I had the same experience as you with wait times with the 8 Year Coating. Rainbowing was almost immediate. I waited for up to three or four minute and found that it didn't really make any difference in leveling. I standardized on a two minute flash time and the results were fantastic. I can't stop running my hand over the finish and admiring the slickness. The gloss is great, and seems to be getting better as it cures, but it makes it obvious that I could have polished out a bit more of the orange peel in the factory clear coat. I'd read that Hondas can have soft paint, so I tried to err on the side of caution. I couldn't be happier with the results!
Appreciate the honesty and it appears to be a win in both application and results. Thank you !!!
Thanks for watching! I think it's a great choice for anyone.
Thank you for presenting a honest review. Like you said, Pan has tested a lot and knows what he wants. I trust his comments. His presentations are positive, he knows what he has and is proud of his and others efforts. I for one will use Pans Clean and give away my current brands.
@@bruceolmsted3544 thanks for watching and commenting! I also trust him. That’s the beauty of this industry it doesn’t have to be a monopoly, you can use multiple brands and still have fun detailing. You should keep the ones you like, work his in your lineup and purge the rest. I always keep a revolving door or products, the fun in it.
Thanks for sharing! I just received the 8 year coating. Can't wait to put it on. I don't have the experience to know if it will be the best or not, but I got into detailing because of Pan and wanted to give it a chance. Can't fault a man for chasing his dream and I hope his product line does well
Love it! You’ll be fine, super easy to install!
I must have watched this 20 times. I’m jealous on one hand but content with my c6 hydrolite. My turbo mazda has the 46v soul red crystal paint and like you, I spent 3 days on the correction and touch up. It’s stunning in full sun but the fun is the occasional rain. I can tell the wind direction in the way the water sheds off at 30 mph. Your beemer came out stunning also. I was ready to choke myself if I saw one more coating demo on a white car that you can’t see on video. So thanks so much. It’s quite possible Pans 8 yr is the best. It certainly is priced well.
Thanks for your support! C6 hydrolite is an awesome coating!
I'm a fan of Pan and I've subscribed to your channel because you produced a very good, unbiased video of Pans Clean coating. I expext that you will be very pleased with the performance of his product. People have to remember that after the coating is applied, there is mainto be done to maximize the performance over time. I think many apply it and expect it do perform at 100% for the 3, 5 or 8 years on it's own.
@@Wishes890 thanks for you support! Agreed proper maintenance is key. Nothing is bullet proof. Any coating can fail if not maintained.
So glad to finally see a 3rd party review of Clean by Pan! Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks Bryan! Excited to have you here.
I just got my order of CLEAN yesterday. Can’t wait to get my brand new deep black pearl VW GTI coated in a couple days! BTW Pans tire dressing is looking great two days after applying. Thanks so much on the heads up on the thickness
Of course best of luck! Love a GTI. I had mark 4 VR6 24v. Also in black, with all the toys on it.
The algorithm brought me here, and I’m glad it did!
You did a fantastic job with the video, explaining your reasoning, showing your initial impressions and not shying away from your potentially negative takes based on a well vetted resume of experience.

Thank you Ted.
I consider myself a supportor of Pan even though he probably never know I exist lol been watching and following his videos from he had a few thousand subs and always showed my clients his videos when they asked about products I've used on their vehicles, however its a sad disappointing thought that Pan said his products would be world wide but then only considers 5 counties to be the world. I've watched all his videos on clean now seeing other TH-camrs have the great opportunity to actually use them knowing that I won't be able to do the same or maybe in a few years to come at 5 or 6 times the actual price when or if it makes its way to my country. I'm sure it's because many overseas countries has the impression that my country only has poor people but doesn't realise there are other people who is doing quite okay and like me has the burning passion for detailing and cars. Anyway great video man looking forward to the other clean product reviews!!!
Thanks for your support! Hopefully they expand to more countries soon!
Hi! Always nice to see long time followers commenting. What country are you from? We are always looking to add more countries in the future, based on demand.

@@bbdetailing9123 thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. Waiting for it to be available in Australia. Might be the first detaling related TH-cam video I'll be doing. Got some C6 and other coatings that I'll compare against. Hopefully its as good as its promoted to be. Subbed and liked too.
Thank you! C6 is excellent as well. I'd put this toe to toe with C6. I'm a pro installer and I can say it stands at the top of the pack with the best of them.
@@FineDetailingAZbased on what? How long has it been on the car?
Based on my application of hundreds of ceramic coatings. I was referring to application, gloss and hydrophobics. 95% of coatings on the market today haven't been out long enough to test long term real world durability so we as consumers are flying blind on most of them because companies are always changing formulas. I'm confident this coating won't fail like Cerakote did so I have to assume it will hold up long term like we assume C6 Hydrolite will. Hydrolite has only been on the market for a matter of months so we really don't know the durability of that one either. Hope that clarifies my comment!
Great review brother. Seems like a great coating from Pan. Appreciate the effort!

Love this style of video and attention to detail and commentary. You talk out loud almost all the same ideas and rational that goes on in my head as i am alone working on a vehicle with new coating. SUBSCRIBED FOLLOWED and told my MOMMA AND DADDY to follow as well. Keep up aweome work.

From previous and ongoing application of ceramic coating products, most of the time when you feel like you’re pushing around the product, it’s the transfer solution that is being removed during the initial leveling process. Gyeon Mohs Evo flashes in 15 to 30 seconds.

great video, well shown all the processes and quality sound👍 looking forward to my package with this ceramic
Excited for you to try it. I'm looking forward to what everyone else thinks. I'm two days after application and the slickness is wild.
I must say, coming from the first 3rd party review I’ve seen of this coating.. I was quite disappointed with the performance/application considering the claims Pan was drilling into his videos again and again. Thanks for this video though! I appreciate your content and will continue to tune in as I respect your unbiased input.
Thanks man, appreciate the support. To be clear I think there was just a learning curve with the application, it's thicker then anything I've used and so it just felt different on level and removal. Came off super easy and I'd put the hydrophobics up against anything else out there. I'll get a video up of the first wash outside so hopefully we can see the water behavior a little better.
@@justlovethisgame3537 thanks for watching. What were you disappointed with? I hope people just understand it’s a ceramic coating. I’m not sure what everyone was expecting!
Good to hear opinions, but not totally what you were disappointed about?
@@BamaJoeBob I’m glad you asked. Look, I think we all knew Pans coatings would be good.. it’s not all that hard nowadays especially if you have connections in the industry with people that have had past success. But when you come out the gates making these outlandish claims like he always talks about others doing that it’s the best coating in the world, ever, PERIOD. And that it’s also the easiest coating to apply in the world. And it has the best hydrophobics in the world. Not a single one of those claims looked to be true in this review. I could go more into depth but I really think it’s as simple as that
@@BreezeMW Ah, very well stated, thanks for the quick and concise response, much appreciated!
You did a great job explaining each step you were taking with this much anticipated coating. Hope you do durability reports every couple months on this 8-year coating.
Thanks John, I plan to do a 7 day wash, month, 6 month and year update.
I have used several brands over the years with my exotic car collection and trucks and up till my love for Gyeon MOHS and SKIN i loved Dura Ceramic but Gyeon is IMO the king of coatings and find it hard to beat. I did 3 Coats of MOHS and 2 Coats of Skin and wow it's like extremely slick, water and soap can't stick and it's self-cleaning is like wow factor.... My 720s is might try Clean and see... Pan is a fellow watch collector and appreciate his work but also agree with some of his fans....Everyone has the best so that said makes it hard to believe until I compare.
@@TRX2021 thanks for watching brother…no denying Gyeon has some solid coatings. That said this was a single layer and you get the same performance as you do with 5 coats plus a 1/4 of the time.

Awesome review!!! Looks like Pan is living up to my expectations 😊... I prefer for the water to sheet right off and this looks to be the case ❤, correct me if I am wrong!
Thank you for watching! I think it had a little of both? On the door is beaded and hood a spray upward and it sheeted. Either way it leaves the panel soooo quickly.
Awe man I got the 3 year coating this week so this is great. I hope it’s the better for application for me… it sucks you didn’t know if it was too much or not. The thickness part can be more of a con than not… especially after your video. I hope it’s easy cause I’m a noob 😭
And also, with the whole Pan thing, I don’t doubt his products are great. But him posting the video and picking his own for a best of 2024 video was a cornball move and bad business. But anyways appreciate the video bro! 😊
@@jefferrrson1x don’t sweat it you’ll be fine. Even if it’s thick the removal is easy. With others that are high solids and quick cure times like Nasiol 272 it can be an issue but I have ZERO issues leveling and wiping. You should have plenty of time. Super user friendly.

This is the first review I’ve seen of the one of the clean products, nice job
Thanks for your support!
Not sure if it was my bottle but when I used Gyeon Pure EVO (my first ever coating), it was very similar in that it did not pour out of the bottle. It also rainbowed very quick. They say with Pure EVO, they put as much solids in it as possible so maybe it is similar, but Pure is not that slick
@@monstershayne I had a similar experience with pure and agreed on its slickness. Pure has incredible “candy” gloss as they say but could be slicker.
Very nice balanced, honest review and first impression. Although minor, I’m not a fan of that packaging.
@@Bruces-Garage thanks for watching Bruce! I tried to keep it real as always. This was big commitment to make and I’m glad it turned out well.
The packaging is very similar to Gyeon In my opinion, but to be fair it gets thrown away so I didn’t sweat it.
@FineDetailingAZ I don't see how it looks anything like Gyeon, Gyeon looks like they paid a high end designer to make it, this looks like a college kid tried to design it lol
Thanks for watching, I meant it looks like Gyeon in the way of it being similar glossy plastic packaging. I think his design is understated...in person the reverse water beads are pretty cool.
Great review! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the honest review! You did a great job. I have feelings on the application. I like how it’s very forgiving, but seems like leveling and buffing could use an improvement. But I will find out when I receive my coating. The hydrophobics on it tho look awesome. To me…very impressed with that. Again, thank you for the review and will looking forward to your update video on it.
@@stevecharnasjr.7241 my pleasure. To clarify I just needed to figure out the learning curve. It’s a thicker coating and removal should be done at 2 minutes max even if it rainbows. I figured it out and it’s super easy to remove.

Thanks for the independent review, subscribed. For someone that doesn't typically do ceramic coatings and is just a noob, which coating have you used that's easiest to use but still performs?
Thank you for subscribing! This one is honestly so easy, if you wanted to get your feet wet you could try his 3 year coating. Less ingredients so in theory could be slightly easier to install.

Have you tried the 3 year coating? I would be interested on how it stacks up to the 8. Great video and from what I see impressive.
I haven't! I just ordered the 8 year. He said It's pretty solid and the 8 year is just the maximum of all the features and more raw ingredients. At $99 not too bad to take a flyer on. They offered me a 10% off coupon for my viewers if it helps FD10 Saves you 10% thehouseofrags.com/?ref=aymmptnl
Thanks for the thorough review. I really enjoyed the calm style and tips and adjustment process.
I’m getting the same car in a few weeks also in dravit grey, how was the prepping stage? You mentioned wool pads for a new car, was it in such bad shape or a very hard paint? I was hoping on getting a perfect result with a Koch m3 polish on a Rupes ultra fine pad. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks for watching! Excited for your new X5. I don't imagine you'll need wool pads. I built mine and they shipped it to the dealership then BMW had the stop sale. Breaking system recall so it had to sit on the lot for a month (my worst nightmare) had a ton of water spots. I released the videos out of order I have one doing the decon and one doing the polishing.
I was honestly planning on using with Pan's polish to just polish or KcX M3. That should be all you need. Because it's my baby I was going to do a KcX with Yellow pad or KCX purple pad then finish with Jeweling like reflect or uno pure. You'll see in my video though. I jeweled the heck out of it!

@@FineDetailingAZ that’s a good idea. It also makes me feel so lost if I can’t see how much I’m using and/or how quickly I’m going through the bottle during application. Seeing this helps me manage over and under application. I can get a little generous and waste product if not.

@@FineDetailingAZ yes it was I use Gtechniq coatings a lot so would to see your opinion between Pan and Gtechniq coatings. I have been using the CSL and Exo 2 layer system and their wheel coating on personal cars and clients cars.
@@Detailing_SS I've used CSL/EXO a lot. This is slicker, glossier and better water behavior.
@@FineDetailingAZ might have to give it a shot 👀
@@Detailing_SS I think it's worth it for sure. Won't break the bank. If not I linked to the Nasiol 272....one of my all time favorites.
Nice work - how does this compare to the CSL + EXO V5 combo?
Thanks for watching. EXO is slicker on application but after a couple of minutes Pan's coating is much slicker. Once cured (only 2 days it's even slicker so far). Application is standard just per your conditions. I had a learning curve the first panel I did then I figured it out. Also this is only one layer vs multiple like CSL/EXO. He says you can layer it but I went with one layer on everything. The center portion of the hood I did 2 just for testing. Cure time is much faster can wet in 1 hour vs 12 hours to gtech I think it is? 12 hours until ph neutral wash vs Gtech is 7 days. Lots of improvements in my opinion.

Hey great video! I'm thinking about buying this and now I'm definitely going to pull the trigger. One question though - does it really improve gloss? I saw some videos from dmitry's garage and others using glossmeters saying that ceramic coatings, and any other coatings, actually reduce gloss a little or keep it the same. Thanks.
@@JohnDavillis thanks for watching I didn’t measure with a gloss meter but to my eye it certainly doesn’t look like it decreases gloss. I think you will be happy with the result.

Pans coating looks legit. I will definitely apply this to my GFs MX-5. Nice thoughts on this product 👌
Thanks! Did you pick some up yet?
Great to see the application process and your experimentation with it. It looks to be VERY user friendly, and competitively priced.
I've yet to try a ceramic coating, being a ceramic spray guy to-date but will try a coating next Spring.
I'll be really interested to see how this fairs in actual use on the road. I think anything can look great at the first application. My ceramic spray does for sure but give it a week of wet weather and the lower halves of the doors are fading fast. However, a quick pre--rinse and 'wash and wax' maintainer and it's good to go again.
Does a ceramic coating help at all with reducing marring? That's my problem with my soft Toyota paint. I've heard ceramic coatings are not of benefit for that.
Hey Allen, thanks for watching. It is very easy to apply. We will certainly see how it holds and I'll give updates as we progress. Ceramic sprays aren't as durable as coatings so I think if you try a coating you will be pleasantly surprised. If they clog you can simply unclog them with some acidic shampoo or water spot remover. Ceramic coatings don't really protect against scratching they provide a small sacrificial layer for your paint. If you want more protection I'd look into PPF but even then that's not impervious to scratching. If you want to pick up some products you can use this link: thehouseofrags.com/?ref=aymmptnl

@@Chancy454SS sheesh! Tell em how you really feel lol. All good brother I didn’t know you just coated your car. Wouldn’t make sense to polish and recoat.
Looks as easy to apply as can coat evo. With even better hydros.
It was super easy. Even a first time installer could figure it out.
Great video. I have the 8 year on its way yo me. Should be here tomorrow and will probably get it on the car this week. Im really shocked that you went through as little product as you did because of how thick it is in the bottle. Going through 10 mills an SUV doesnt seem right.
I spoke to Pan and he said it was fine. The product is so thick that it spreads out for a while.
@FineDetailingAZ good to hear as I have a large SUV to do.
I also didn't do the wheels and glass. I only did one window for the glass. So if you do all of that you will probably use more.
Gyeon MOHS + SKIN (Synchro EVO) I remember was thick and took a lot of shaking downward to get drops onto the applicator, very similar to this stuff. Not sure also about the insert thingy design on the bottles Gyeon used or Pan used.
Yeah I actually like that it's slow to come out...helps conserve product vs others that just pour out.
Nice review. I think you hit on on something about the Gyeon chemist thing. Pan really likes Geyon products, just saying. 🇨🇦👍👍
Thanks for watching, I never mentioned anything about a Gyeon chemist. I only mentioned that his packaging reminded me of Gyeon packaging. Only that is was glossy plastic box.
Now, we have to see if the performances last... 3 years :)

Thank you for watching! Grey towel is here: amzn.to/3ZSzNJe Blue is here:amzn.to/4eQaMTb both Rag co pearl weave. I used 3 of each, but could have gotten by 2 each. I dropped 2 so had to toss them.

My pleasure! And those are great towels. I love the rip n rag...so affordable.
Sounds like it applies very similar to McKee's Pro Coat, let it set and it seems like it never sets up and smears around.
@@RichardMJr haven’t tried that one yet. I think it crosslinks for sure it’s just thicker so takes a little extra wiping. It wasn’t labor intensive and it came right off then the slickness shined through shortly after.
Thanks for a good review, appreciate you showing Pan some love.
Everyone was upset when Pan said, “ best in the world”, but everyone forgot he also said, “ in his opinion..” Pan is the man!!
I appreciated your time and energy in making this video and giving us an unbiased review.
I liked and subscribed. Good luck with your new car and your channel.
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for showing Pan some love! I trust his endorsements and have learned so much from him. Looking forward to having the same experience that you had coating my vehicle. Why is it when someone talks up their own products, they are now referred to as “controversial”? Thanks for an unbiased review!
Thanks for your support! I only added that title because there was so much controversy in the threads and on facebook!
@@FineDetailingAZ Yes, I saw a lot of the blowback he got for including his products in the “best of” podcast. In my opinion, it was a double-edged sword. We all know the sh*t-fit some folks had by including them but if he had not included them, then what would be the purpose of creating an inferior line of products and convincing folks to buy it? Social media has spawned so many bad actors with their fake outrage in an attempt to get “likes”. Thanks for a great video and for what you do for the industry. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to future videos.
Yup a lot of negativity but his products will do the talking once people try them. I'm impressed so far with the coating.
Nice setup you have there. What HEX lights do you have? Building a new garage, and I’m getting HEX lights.
@@NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM thanks! Just checked they aren’t in stock. I just ordered some highly rated ones on Amazon. Usually can’t go wrong. Pro tip make sure they have a plug some come set up for hard wiring.
The only negative comments was towards the ridiculous rankings on his product awards of his & detail co products!! Kinda big headed to boast it's the best in the world, when not even been released on the public for a month yet!!
Thanks for watching
Great review! Pan had mentioned in his video about how there's no need for a topper. Did you happen to notice if there are water spots left behind? I know that there are coatings that have major water spot problems if you don't use their preferred toppers. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Neal, I didn't noice any water spots. I hit it with the ego blower and drying towel right after. I didn't want to risk a water spot that soon after application. We'll see how it holds up. I do NOT like toppers on coatings so this was an attraction for me. I can't stand it when companies recommend toppers. You are seeing the behavior of the topper not the coating. I get it...it's the protection for the protection but we did all that work so I want to see how the coating really performs. Sorry for the rant lol, just adding my two cents on toppers.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
@@FineDetailingAZ No, please rant! I am also not a fan of having to apply toppers. I'd left a comment to Pan to let him know that it was great that he wanted a coating that didn't require a topper. To me, not having to apply a topper saves so much time. Also, the one hour cure time is incredible considering other coatings requite at least 12+ hours to cure. I'm rooting for Pan's line to excel. He's received a lot of angry feedback in the comment section.
@@nealwhite1474 Agree, I know his line will do well. I'm really excited for the shampoo and I need to get the rinse less. I think it's cool that you can wash with pH neutral soap in only 12 hours. He did get some hate but I hope the haters quietly still buy and try. They will have a different opinion once they use the coating at least...that's all I've tried so far.
Do you have a ppf on the vehicle
I only have PPF on the B pillars. Application of the coating over that was the same as the paint.
Great independent review.
Thank you for watching and supporting! Cheers.
Cool video ,
Can’t wait to see the durability long term 🤔
But honestly Pan lost his credibility with me and several other people.
Totally fair, but at the end of the day he put out an awesome product. I think it competes with the best of them out there. As it cures it's only getting slicker and the gloss is crazy good. Thanks for watching!

@@FineDetailingAZ The only negative I’ve heard, and it’s minor, is that some of the current batch of stock might be a tad towards borderline older now due to slow sales of it.
But I know the guys at Meguiars personally, and should be able to get some new virgin stock at their headquarters which is a fairly short drive from where I’m at.
Let me know how it goes!
@@FineDetailingAZ Cool. I will. Hopefully I get my hands on it soon.
Premium? Ok post the MSDS sheet - give us percentage of chemicals/solvents within product so we know exactly what we are buying.
There are only a handful of companies producing and mixing chemicals within coating so Pan could be slapping (premium label) on anything of which he has entered into agreement with whatever company for marketing purposes.
Post the MSDS give us a breakdown of what exactly is in it
Hi thanks for watching, the SDS sheets are listed on each product page of the website. You can find them there. Pan mentioned his products are proprietary so it wouldn't make any business sense to just give people the exact recipe like Coca Cola wouldn't share their recipes.thehouseofrags.com/collections/clean-by-pan-the-organizer/products/ceramic-coating
@@FineDetailingAZ yep as suspected so marked “trade secret” don’t know exact nor will list exact quantities nor parts per thousand in a “ premium coating” 🙄 🤔 also already know these chemical bonding emulsion are made in Korea, Germany, China, or DOW chemicals here in USA so again
Just marketing hype with “ premium” as the buzz word - I’ll kick in money to have it sent to a lab and autopsy what’s in any premium coating.
Aminosiloxanes are Siloxanes modifed with Nitrogen groups. The
modification degree lead to an
optimal performance in aqueous or solvent borne formulations for
home and car care applications.
These products are excellently suited for a use in polishes, wax
formulations and drying aids in automatic or manual car wash
and provide for perfect drying characteristics including a good
water repellence and excellent gloss.
Yeah I don't think any company would share full product ingredients, like I mentioned that gives them a competitive advantage or else everyone would rip them off. As for the chemicals you listed....I have no idea because I'm not a chemist. Are you?
Another great video Ryan! Thanks for walking us through the installation. Appreciate how you talked through your process when applying a new coating for the first time and stress starting with a small section until you get comfortable with the flash time and leveling. Can't wait to see the first wash and update videos down the road. The car looks amazing! Too bad it's hard to show the nuances of the color and metallic in videos. Looking forward to the ADS Glass v2.
Thanks Patrick! Yeah, I'll show it in the sun next video when I do the first wash.
Do you think maybe if you used the applicator it came with, the application process would've been more simple?
In any case,i think this is exactly the review i was waiting on. I think you did a great job.
Hey, thanks for watching! I don't think it would have made a difference as the applicator I used has the same technology. Microfiber with a save pad in the middle. So both had some plastic in it. Once I figured out my flash time and followed the instructions all was well. FD10 will save you 10% if you want to give it a shot.

@DensePillow Did we watch the same video? I thought he showed how great the performance was and only after an hour of curing? Those hydrophobics were pretty good!!

Do you have PPF on?
Hi, I only have PPF on the B pillars. And I applied the coating over that as well.
@@FineDetailingAZ Thx. Why just the b pillars and not the hood?
B pillars are piano black and scratch easily. I'm not a fan of PPF on the hood because as soon as there is a rock chip then the PPF looks bad and I spent so much on it I'd be mad. Instead I just do touch up paint, a quick wet sand and polish and you can barely see any chips. Just my preference.
I won’t be buying . Pan overhypes everything & I don’t trust him as many times in past he has done biased payed advertising like p&s for example .
@@davida7713 thanks for watching! Totally your prerogative! If you want to grab other stuff from the site FD10 saves my viewers 10%.
Unbiased review???
At the start of the vid you said to go and subscribe to Pan's channel and how can you say its a premium product when its barely been in your car an hour. Looks like it goes on exactly like Autoglym HD cermaic coating.
Thanks for watching. We have a youtube and detailing community and we support each other, mentioning to subscribe doesn't mean I'm bias. Based on installing many ceramic coating brands some pro only and some consumer based I can confidently say this is in the premium category based on the performance of it. My experience allows me to make that determination.
PPF is the best coating in the world... 😅
Thanks for watching! I'm not a fan of it because if I get a rock chip then the PPF looks bad and I'll want to replace the whole thing. I also worry about it fading over time too. Just personal preference, nothing wrong with PPF.
Good vid… Funny how chipper you were to start, then how tired you seemed at the end. I’m thinking it was kinda frustrating trying to figure out the proper timing with this coating. Car looks real good though, but it should. That color should pop with any quality coating. So I’m not seeing anything groundbreaking here. The water behavior seems in line with Hydro Lite, DIYs 8yr, BC7, and other top products. The proof will be in the durability, the ability to resist spotting, and clogging.
Honestly, what can you really show from a video, except installation?
8 year coating, 2 layers, lol… whyyyyy?!
That pic was cringe my man. You gonna frame it?
What’s the temp resistance at? Can it go on wheels? Did you do all the trim?
Hey Walter! Yeah the first level I only waited 30 seconds but then I waited the full 2 minutes when it rainbowed and that was good. Haha I was just tired because I started at 6am.... It's just thicker then most coatings so there was a learning curve. I'm hopeful that the thicker application will add to the durability. I did only do one layer though. Hydrophobics were solid and I'll do a wash outside with some good lighting. Agreed it's top tier for sure. Pan is excited for his coating, as he should be but I can confirm it's a player at the top.
Unsure of the temp rating. Per the website: Safe for all exterior surfaces (paint, glass, wheels, plastic trim, lights, PPF, vinyl wraps), including matte finishes.
I added it to the grill but I'm going to do the lower front bumper and wheels with Ethos Max just to try a few different products.
@@FineDetailingAZ lots of new coatings rainbow quickly now. The last one I used, exactly the same. Really confusing about when to level. In my head, I’m saying…. Leave it as long as possible. But in the end, it didn’t matter. These coatings are setting up, and bonding quickly. Shorter cure times by a lot now. I think my last coating was 5 hours.
But thick, yes, high solids for sure. Nothing 5+ years should be thin. We are at a time, where manufacturers are pushing boundaries, and creating a category between Driveway/Consumer & Professional. An Enthusiast level. Slightly more complicated products to use, with attributes of the mystical “pro only” realm.
Look, you will never fully realize if the coating will last 8 years. It’s just a number defined in theory, and many companies do it. For me, I’m from a profession that always under promise, and attempts to over produce. That’s the area to live in. No hype, all cases are different, promise the minimum. Expectations being met are important, greater than expectation, is how you develop a solid reputation.
I look forward to the rest of this series, should be fun.

I think the controversy comes with the affiliate program and the old “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours”. Sorry, I see guys pushing themselves as detailers when they’ve literally never detailed professionally or they’ve just been glorified car washers and are now trying to reimagine themselves for TH-cam. The best detailers around aren’t on TH-cam being product schills.
Thanks for watching. Affiliate links are totally optional and they just help to buy more products. No one sent me these products, I paid for them myself.

I'm not sure if you are saying I'm not a real detailer so I'll fill you in. I've been detailing for 15 years and I own my detailing business. I follow a lot of hard working detailers especially mobile detailers (Serrano and DBK) that also use TH-cam for another source of income and education. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, thanks for watching.
@@FineDetailingAZ I wasn’t singling you out. So here’s the core of the issue with affiliate links. If you negatively review a product, there’s zero revenue opportunity. So there’s incentive to give positive reviews. You’ll get people to buy using the affiliate link, and you’ll be viewed as “friendly” by other product manufacturers and receive free products or affiliate program participation. Most, if not all TH-cam detailers either or hide or claim it’s just optional and helps the channel. I appreciate that you’ve put 15 years into your business and wish you continued success.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! I've never installed a ceramic coating, so I may be talking out of my rear end, but could using the out of the box applicator given you more of the experience you're used to? You used another applicator and am just wondering if it could make a difference or not. Thoughts?
No, unless it's a very cheap applicator, it does not affect the application experience
I just prefer the applicator I used. They both have the same tech meaning there is a plastic layer behind the microfiber to keep it from soaking in and wasting product. The application was fine just a different experience because it was thicker. I adjusted my my approach and all went well.
@@LilRick96 agreed. I love those autofiber microfiber applicators.
@@FineDetailingAZ Good to know! Thanks!
