Yeah Larry is a great guy. I've known him since 2011. He actually did a guest appearance in my recent Ammo Reflex review and tutorial video: th-cam.com/video/o1HXG2uOqkg/w-d-xo.html
Pan, I am a weekend detailer who educates himself with a lot of detailing related TH-cam videos and yours sir are among the best out there! Thank you for the valuable information and keep the videos coming. You've earned yourself a fan :)
Thanks Wearepeas! I appreciate it! I've been detailing for over 20 years, so I like to share the latest tips, tricks, techniques, products and equipment to my viewers, to educate them on a job well done. I hope you subscribed, as there are tons more videos to come! I usually post on Sundays and Thursdays, at least 2 videos per week. How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer Of course I'm subscribed, I have been for a while now :) I found one of your videos in my feed and that's how I got hooked. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
I'd like to know your opinion opinion on Chemical Guys products. There's a 100 different products. We chose Tire Kicker....good for interior and tire shine.
Pan’s instructional videos on ceramic detailing are definitely among the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. They’ve helped me tremendously in both applying and maintaining a beautiful ceramic coating to my vehicle. Keep up the great work, Pan! Your effort is much appreciated, good sir. Looking forward to more detailed information from you.
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan. I park my car outside as I have no garage.So my car is under Sun and dust. After deep wash like you have shown and use the Ceramic Coating, would like to know would the Ceramic Coating protects the color/ paint against the UV Rays of the Sun? Or I need to add some more products? Furthermore, I sometimes end with lot of dust on the car as I park it outside. With the Ceramic Coating , If I wash my car every 2 weeks, would the Ceramic Coating Last? Please let me know. Thank you.
I use basically the same technique, except I touch the car twice, once when I physically wash it, and not again until I used the reload, as I use a leaf blower to dissipate any and all water for the surfaces, minimizing the physical contact with the painted surfaces seem to reduce any damaging the ceramic coatings properties, you're the best Pan!!
I'm so glad I found this video. A guy I work with gave me his Z06 to just wash, however the detailing techniques I typically use on my cars didn't work on his car and I was getting very upset with myself and was pondering so much why his car isn't turning out like my cars. His Z06 was black and it was streaking A LOT. But now I know why, it is a whole another process to care for a ceramic coated car. Very informative.
I have to say that no one else can do a better job in explaining like you do. Truly hats off for such a wonderful videos and time you invest in sharing the knowledge. The video for apply the coating is just marvellous...keep it up and cheers all the way!
Pan, you car simply looks stunning! I love your step by step guide to keeping up with your ceramic coating. You explained things that I think a lot of people get wrong when maintaining their coating. I give you kudos for filming your videos in English and French, it must be very hard and then to top it off you edit both of them as well. Your hard work is paying off, I love your videos and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for your continued support Todd! Much appreciated. Yes producing videos in both languages is very demanding. Detailing alone is quite a bit of work, so viewers can't imagine how harder it is to film above that... Plus video editing which I put a lot of efforts in. I get better at it as time goes by. Have a good evening and thanks for watching!!
Pan, I looked at your first video yesterday. I wasn’t gonna do that because I was watching videos from other sources; I am glad I tried out. I love having clean cars; I don’t know much about detailing but I always keep my car clean. Your instructions are very simple and clear; I am going to star buying the same products you use and start detailing my vehicles on my own. Merci beaucoup monsieur, vous êtes très gentil. I am looking forward to be an ORGANIZER, lol Gracias amigo.
Hi Bohemio! Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. I've been detailing cars for over 20 years, so my TH-cam channel allows me to share my passion with my viewers. How did you discover my channel?
I've been detailing cars for at least 20 years. Love the way you explain how to detail. On the way you wash, try doing the top all the way around it being the cleanest then keep working your way down in sections & try a chair with wheels helps me a lot. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Daniel! I've been detailing for 20 years too! I usually do the top all the way around and work my way down, but for filming it's not always obvious as every step is time consuming. Detailing alone is very demanding, imagine shooting at the same time, and also producing in two languages... Hehehe. How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer im in the U.S.A. Des Moines Iowa. What part of Canada? I've been to Niagara Falls in Canada and I love it really clean the casino was awesome too.
Such a satisfying video to watch. I've "washed" cars/trucks all my life for friends/family but was never truly happy with the results. I hated washing a car only to feel like I was partially ruining the paint in the process. I'm picking up my truck from a detail/paint correct/ceramic coating today and thanks for teaching me how to remain happy with my results. Cheers.
@@PanTheOrganizer Searching TH-cam for ceramic care. I'm sure I'll watch it a couple more times just for the pure joy of watching someone with skill and passion do great work. Keep it up!
Super helpful and informative videos for washing and keeping the car clean. After taking all those steps carefully, I scratched the car with the pressure washer hose. 😅🤦♂️ Simple tip: make sure that the hose has no loops and keep it as far away as possible.

Pans secret is he actually scares the car into detailing its self while it enjoys a cold one or he threatens it by calling bret the hit man hart lol amazing job pan
Pan TheOrganizer I was subscribed a year ago but just subscribed again because I've decided to restart my mobile detailing company with more knowledge of what I'm doing. So far you're the only one who gives great information.
Pan I applaud your enthusiasm, knowledge of detailing, and effort you put into you videos!!!!! But after seeing how much time and effort is required to keep a ceramic coated car properly maintained I have decided not to coat or pay $1,500 to have may car ceramic coated. I will just continue to simply hand wash my car as needed (monthly). Again outstanding work ethic and fantastic detailing!!!
From Pan's videos, and those of other TH-cam detailers, it seems much easier to keep a ceramic coating clean than plain paint. My Glacier White Metallic Audi S3 Sportback had a simple Autoglym detail inside and out before delivery and 4 years on I've just purchased Gtechniq CSL and EXO to do my first ceramic coating on it. Mainly full snow foam pre and contactless washes have kept it immaculate so far and I expect the full ceramic coating to be even better. Nothing in this video that you wouldn't do anyway on a wash, so go for it!
Another top class video Pan. After watching one of your videos the first thing I did was smash the subscribe button. Always look forward to Sundays and Thursdays.
Awesome, thanks for your support buddy! I appreciate it. I'm blessed with positive viewers like you. Which is your favorite video on my channel so far?
Hi! Thanks for your positive comment! Yes it's my own car. Got it new in 2015. I did a review of it on my channel: th-cam.com/video/RdskiGKn_Wk/w-d-xo.html I like getting new cars every 3 years, so next year it's new car time! :) How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer I searched up car washing tips and your channel came up. And I watched loads of your videos and they were amazing !!!!. You put alot of work into your videos and cars and I'm really proud of that. Keep up the good work man. Your an inspiration to people 🖒
Great video! Im looking to give my BMW a ceramic pro treatment soon as I've heard alot of good about it, they even leave a 5 year warranty. Really curious how it'll end up.

Amazing video like always, Pan. The best auto detailer on TH-cam. Hands down! Any tips for keeping brake discs looking good? At 6:42 the brake disc looks oxidized like mine do after a wash but I notice it goes away after the first drive after a wash. I don't see oxidation in the "final results" section of the video. Did you do something off screen?
+Froylan Cepeda Yup you just roll forward and backwards and apply brakes and that surface rust disapears. All rotors do that after washing. Totally normal.
Awesome! I thought it was just my technique or products. I switched from Meguiar's Wheel Brightener to a weaker Chemical Guys wheel cleaner but got the same result with both. Thanks Pan
Hey Pan! Very informative video! Definitely a great guide for those wanting to maintain their ceramic coated vehicles in the best shape possible. Should Reload (or any other Silica sealant) be only applied every two to three months, or would there be an issue with doing it every wash?
Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope you also watched my super popular tutorial on how to apply a ceramic coating, you'll fully understand the process.

What a great video. I just got a 2022 AMG GLC 300, and had it coated. I did not know how to clean it in the future, now I am confident I can do it myself with your tutorial. Ty Sir.
@@PanTheOrganizer Ty. I was searching for techniques on what to do when it was time to clean a ceramic coated car. I own my car now 2 weeks. But I'm thinking about next month when I will do some touching up. Keep up the good advice 👍🏻.
Hey pan i live in hot weatherd and dusty area and car get so much road grime and tar how is the proper way to clean it with less scratches as possible thanks
You can use different products for tar and traffic film, such as CarPro TarX and Citrol 266 citrus based degreaser. You should also use an iron remover such as CarPro IronX and Gyeon Iron to remove iron particles embedded in your paint. So usually, you start by washing your car, then using iron removers followed by tar removers, rinse everything off well and then claybar your paint. You can then polish the paint or go straight to protecting it with waxes or sealants or nano coatings. See my videos to explain all of these processes. ;) And to make things easy for my viewers, I include links to all the products used in each video in the description box under each video. You just click the "show more" button under the video and you'll see all the products. How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer Hello thank you for responding, i did discover the channel through surfing in detailing vids in youtube. So what i should i do is rinse the car then spray the ironx on the body before beginning the bathing two bucket method?
Hi from Canada and thanks for your comment, much appreciated!! It's in the plans to make an English video for the interior detailing (I made one in French a while back which became super popular). How did you discover my channel?
Perfect! I´ll be waiting. So what is that song playing in the intro? Yo never told me. I think I was just browsing through detailing videos and ended up looking through your channel.

Glad I could help! 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 135 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. A new car is never new until it's properly detailed. - at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example. - vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc - vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements - at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches - at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers: RS6 Avant Performance: th-cam.com/video/L5SQ0ZIJCj0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mcQiMs9HBLlaqjGK Mercedes S 580: th-cam.com/video/Vq_tfcwryVI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Aston Martin Vantage: th-cam.com/video/OKga3yZVTqo/w-d-xo.html Volvo XC60: th-cam.com/video/tvDBBenhYFA/w-d-xo.html Tesla Model Y: th-cam.com/video/gohks8xP5NY/w-d-xo.html Porsche 911 Carrera: th-cam.com/video/2ckiivbFqs4/w-d-xo.html Audi Q7: th-cam.com/video/t7HCBSVnizM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks 👍 Lots of care goes into keeping our grass looking its best: irrigation system, a company that does the lawn care services and we also have a guy who cuts the grass for us. We have since moved to a brand new home this year, but the same type of care will be done to our new lawn.
Pan TheOrganizer I usually browse around. Searched ceramic coating one day and I found your channel. Very informative videos and people like me appreiciate it my friend
Another great and an informative video, Pan. My garage is not insulated or dry walled. So, I clean my car in the garage. I cause envy for my neighbors because their garage is finished.
If you saw my garage tour video, I detail my car in my garage, and made sure everything is made for that purpose. It's a fully finished garage. You just need to take the precautions when building it to ensure that you can work in there. ;)
So,all and all ceramic coated car is always very much money demanding as a maintenance option-seen before with other "revolutionary" products. No,thank you!
Actually, it would be the opposite. A consumer grade quality coating like CarPro CQuartz UK Edition only costs roughly 60$ US for the kit with Reload spray sealant and you can coat two cars with a 30 mL bottle. When you consider that the protection lasts 1 to 2 years, you have major cost savings as you don't have to reapply wax every 3 months or a paint sealant every 5-6 months. You're also saving time by not having to manually reapply waxes or sealants. So it depends how you see things. Personally, ceramic coatings (nano coatings in general) are great as they save you time in the long run, and added costs of having to reapply waxes and sealants. I also never look at costs when detailing cars, as a car is usually your second biggest expense in your life after your home, and needs to be taken care of. But to each his own, you're allowed to use any method you want to take care of your car. I show many different techniques in my videos. What do you do to yours?
I was searching car cleaning videos and I came across your channel to help guide me on things about maintaining a clean car 😊. Really amazing to see how detailed you’re.
Excellent video. I am impressed with your delivery of the information. Keep up the good work. This is what TH-cam was meant for. Thank you for not being one of those worthless influencers. It’s much appreciated.
It only comes one way. It’s a limited edition all electric Hummer White with a black carbon fiber trim. Beautiful truck. I entered it in a couple Car show the last couple weeks won best of show both times. It’s really a show stopper.
Pan you are unequivocally the GOAT of TH-cam detailing. Thanks to your great instructional videos I am finally pulling the trigger on Cquartz for my vehicle. Thank you for taking the time to make in-depth instruction on the subject. Also, I have to say I accidentally stumbled on one of your french videos and I love the longer PAAAAAAAAN intro!
@@PanTheOrganizer You are certainly welcome! Wow that is a tough one as I truly enjoy all of your videos. If i had to narrow it down I would say the Q and A (very informative) and ASMR videos (excellent for relaxation).
Pan, I love your channel and have referred many people to it. I much prefer your former format without the music. I find the music distracting whereas your previously typical style features your voice guiding the viewer through the experience of detailing. I have developed a love for detailing my own car because of you and will continue to watch your videos but I hope that you will drop the music. Thanks Pan for all you do for your viewers.
That just looks stunning. Your channel has helped me learn detailing to get some spending money so I don't have to get a part time job. (I'm a high school student). I'm doing my first ceramic coating this week for a customer so wish me luck!

When using air blower always use a filter for example a stocking over air input to save blowing particles onto car at high speed. Good video thanks. Ps you never listed the active snow foam on your list.
Pan TheOrganizer the detailing video of the black BMW M3 is the first video I saw of yours when searching for car detailing vids, and then I subscribed.
Pan TheOrganizer one time i saw a vehicle that act as car wash of course it was costumed truck , it has been made to wash cars on spot no need to go to any car wash shops and im obsessed with the idea so i did search on TH-cam but I found you instead . And im now living in your channel lol trust me our country did take care of the cars like no other countries does but you are on another level in this business so im trying to learn what ever I could from the best as yours .
I got a black Porsche cayman 718 . It’s been treated by the dealer with Gtechniq Platinum . Just want to make sure I clean it properly with minimum damage .
hey pan quick tip on window washing, if you dry using a squeegee, instead of pulling straight down, you want to dry using a kind of swirl motion starting in a corner, swirling up and around the window, through the middle, and ending in a new corner. this will help prevent water marks on the window, and may help you with your washtimes.
Coating lasts 12-24months, so how do I know when it is gone? And so say I’m 15months in and want to reapply or remove it completely how do I go about this? Lastly won’t the ceramic coating also get scratched? Can we polish and wax the ceramic coating? Need these answers before I pull the trigger 😃 Great videos by the way, very helpful, I hope someone can answer the above to 😊
Hi Kristupas. You'll see it's gone when there is no more water sheeting. Water will be very slow to sheet off. To make sure you've completely removed the coating at that point, a good paint polishing is necessary and reprep your surface to receive a new coat or two (like in my tutorial on ceramic coating application). Also, ceramic coatings aren't meant to protect against scratches. That's pure marketing hype. Yes they are 2-3 times harder than your clear coat and will help DIMINISH the appearance of micro scratches, but that's about it. If you haven't seen it yet, watch my full tutorial on how to properly apply a ceramic coating. It's ranked number one on TH-cam for coatings with over 1.3 million views so far: th-cam.com/video/byKcYsEyWGk/w-d-xo.html
I applied my coating after watching your first video and so far I am very happy with it. I ordered the reset and reload as well and the car is about due for its first wash. I do actually have access to a master blaster as well, I was wondering what the benefit to pre-drying with a towel is though, I typically use just the master blaster to dry.
Great video and nice tip on how to apply reload (i use much more so will use your method from now on) i had cquk applied on my car and keep it regularly maintained every month by washing with Reset and using a quick detailer comprising of Carpro Ech20 with a few ounces of Carpro reload mixed in. Every 3 months i use just reload to keep it in top condition. Been told mine should last unto 5 years by using this method. I also only cover 6k miles a year and don't do many long journeys.
Pan, I watched this video with much detail. You see, I just purchased my first BMW this week an X4. I can't wait to use many of the products you suggested. One question, where did you get the applicator sponge you use on the tires to apply the dressing? I am in the US. Thanks for you your very thoughtful and informative videos.
If you dont have carpeted wheel well liners, try out the Chemical Guys Barebones spray, or Adams polishes Undercarriage spray. Both are amazing at bringing back life to faded wheel wells. Great video!
Many thanks Pan. This was just the video I needed. However, when I purchased my new car, I had the dealership apply a ceramic coating to the car’s interior. It would be great if you could do a video specifically about maintaining the leather interior of a car that has received a ceramic coating.
Another great video, Pan! Question...if I need to wash my ceramic coated car once a week, should I use the same washing process that you did in this video or should it be a different one? Please advise.
Very helpful! Thanks for the time and effort it takes to make these videos. After watching your videos, I feel informed and confident in trying processes on our car.

Haven’t been able to find any fireball products online. Second of all, do you have any specific tips on cleaning black cars? I just bought an all black dodge challenger, which I hopefully will pass onto my 4 year old little brother as his first car, so all tips would be recommended! Thank you!

I was thinking that ceramic coating can makes the car cleaning more easy, just by a jet of water for example, your video shows that cleaning is now more difficult, costly, and effort full, no ceramic coating for my car, thank you.
If this is hard for you, then you don't like washing or cleaning your car. My channel is geared towards those who are passionate about detailing. Yes a ceramic coating has self-cleaning properties, meaning the car is much easier to wash during maintenance washes. That doesn't mean that just pressure washing the dirt off leaves the car 100% clean. Who ever tells you that is full of crap. Things still cling to the paint, just a lot less thanks to the coating (compared to traditional waxes or paint sealants). That being said, you can get to 85% of the result of this video, in simply rinsing, then using a foam cannon with something like Griot's Garage Surface Foam Wash, then rinse and dry. 100% touchless system. I did a tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/DjlUZnBtLtg/w-d-xo.html But nothing will ever replace a proper hand wash done right.
Thanks for the advise PAN. Saw u r video and was really impressed. Will definitely get one of those. And one more help..... I usually wash my car once a week generally every Sunday. Do I need to spray the Bead maker after every wash?? And do you advise any good spray dressers for in between clean ups, usually once a week.. I don't soap up the car too much during the in-between cleanups…I usually do a clean up on weekdays once or twice using a was coated duster. I dust off the car and use a spray dresser like CG V07 or P40 to give some gloss. Is that ok??
Pan - great videos. Two Questions: First, you mentioned you only use the Reload once every few months. I'm sure you wash your vehicle more often than that, when you perform regular washes do you just follow these same steps and forego the spray sealant phase? Second, I have the Adam's hex foam applicator for tire dressings, but how do you maintain it? Do you rinse it out after you're done? wring it out? let it dry? how often do you change it out? Thanks! Marty
Hi Marty! First, thanks for watching. Yes you can simply forego using Reload. Or if you’re OCD like me, you can use it every 2-3 washes... I like using it as a drying aid. For the foam applicator pads, I simply lay them face down on an old microfiber towel and mine still has been going strong for over 6 years. But I only use it with water based dressings. I have a separate one for petroleum based ones.
I have the Tesla Model 3 and was looking to Ceramic coat it. Most Ceramic coating videos on youtube are about businesses that do the coating. Searched for DIY ceramic coating. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to show us how to do it. Why can't I have cool neighbors like you..
Great video with lots of tips as usual 👍... You are by far one of the few persons who give out so much information for free and I love that you provide if not all buy most of the links to the products used making it easier for your viewers 👍👍👍
Looks really good. You should debadged your BMW and tint the windows. I like light tints, I only have 50% on the sides and rear. Crystalline on the moon roof and windshield. My car stays very cool when I drive and park. Of course when I park I have the oem sunshade up also.
Pan J'adore vos vidéos, j'ai tellement appris sur la façon de détailler ma propre voiture, et avec votre système de step simple. J'apprécie énormément tout le travail que vous faites comme vos milliers de fans sur les détails. Dans l'attente de la prochaine.
J'ai commencé à m'intéresser au détail des voitures, et je regardais des vidéos de ChrisX, puis j'ai vu l'une de vos vidéos dans les recommandations. J'ai regardé le tien et j'étais accro! J'adore tes vidéos en anglais, tu expliques tout de manière succincte et intéressante, beaucoup de gens se baladent encore et encore et encore !!! Vous donnez toutes les informations nécessaires d'une manière intéressante, et je l'apprécie. Votre vidéo de Q & A était hilarante, surtout quand ce type vous a demandé si vous avez utilisé des stéroïdes! J'ai ri de ta réponse LOL. J'ai regardé presque toutes vos vidéos maintenant, et je reviens encore et encore pour obtenir des notes et des conseils. Vous êtes fantastique!!!
Hehehe merci Francis! C'est gentil de ta part de me donner cette rétroaction positive. Je me compte chanceux d'avoir de bons auditeurs comme toi et ça me motive à continuer à produire des vidéos pour vous tous! :)
And revisiting this video as had my new car coated just last week! Great video. Will be using carpro reset and Gyeon bathe + shampoo. Also Gyeon cure to top up the paintwork and alloys every 2 months
Superb descriptive and enjoyable to watch video! I was kind of hesitant to ceramic coat my own 2017 Toyota Corolla but after seeing this video, I did it. I was very impressed to really see the difference in the before and after reflection and shine. Now I need to get me a bottle of Hydrosilex Recharge to maintain my car exterior looks. Thanks Pan for bringing out the courage in us for DIY projects. Hats off to you! 🍻🍻🍻. Cheers!
Hi Pan. Great. Ideas, keep them coming. I drive a 4WD so get more dirty compared to road cars. Have you ever considered a video on what is best for our vehicles? Protection, maintenance cleaning etc. thanks.
Unfortunately these brands are not available in all countries. Could you explain a little bit more in detail what the shampoo actually is or definitely shouldn't be? For example, is it Ph neutral, alkaline, with or without shine properties(is that a good idea at all to have a shampoo with a gloss build in?), multi component or single etc. Keep up the good work, awesome vids!
Hi Pan! Excellent video!!! You obviously use very good products, but I have a question. What do you think about the 9h Mr Fix nano coating? Do you have an oppinion on whether it is a good product or not? It's almost the only product I've found available in my location.
Thanks René! For my favorite products and recommendations, I highly recommed that you watch my 2017 car detailing products awards video: th-cam.com/video/AnT7vhvgc58/w-d-xo.html
I see where some say drying with a leaf blower is good to dry so that you can avoid touch car as much as possible, also must have grit guards in both buckets to capture dirt at bottom of buckets. Good vid
Thanks a bunch Pan. Awesome videos. Just had my vehicle coated and was wondering why you don't use an air blower to dry the car first before using the microfiber towels?
You can do which ever method fits you best. There's no "right or wrong". But for sure, a coated car is much easier to dry. Even just using the car dryer is more than enough.
Great video. Just one question, should I claybar a brand new car before laying the ceramic coat? Will bring mine home this week-end and wanna do that. Thanks and cheers from Belgium
You only clay the paint if it needs it, meaning if you feel bonded contaminants embedded in the clear coat. If you clay, you traditionally have to polish afterwards.
Glad it was helpful! Here's my updated and more recent ceramic coating maintenance tutorial: th-cam.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/w-d-xo.html Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 905,000 subscribers and we have over 117 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
Thanks for this great video Pan! I applied carpro ceramic coating after seeing your first video. It turned out great. QUESTION: Unfortunately, a sadist intentionally caused few scratches on my car's left door panel. Fortunately, those are not deep as I cannot feel them on my fingers on touching. I still have the coating and the silica spray. Do you recommend applying it on scratches will eliminate them? Thanks in advance.
Ceramic coatings don’t hide scratches. You will have to polish them off with CarPro Essence+ (not the regular Essence). It’s the only polish that you can use to correct defects on your ceramic coating. And then you’ll reapply CQuartz to that section.
Hatts off to you for such a detailed and elaborated stuff. I am about to coat my car and wanted to get to know about the maintainance process which you have covered very well. I will keep you tips in my mind. Just a quick question...if you find dust on the car after a day or two after this detailed cleaning, what should be done? Can we clear the dust with microfiber towel or shouldnt do his for the sake of swirl prevention and wash the car with water again? Thanks
If there’s just a light layer of dust, you can simply do a contactless pre-wash with a foam cannon. If you don’t have a cannon, you can apply ONR like in my new Optimum detailing products review videos. Have you seen them?
Great job I have a question why when u washed the body why u didnt wash door jams ? They get very dirty I notice u wipe them down with your special drying towel

Pan TheOrganizer do I have to use these products to wash my car every time after I do ceramic coating or only the first time after applying?
Nice to see AMMO NYC being used. Larry would be proud 👍
Yeah Larry is a great guy. I've known him since 2011. He actually did a guest appearance in my recent Ammo Reflex review and tutorial video: th-cam.com/video/o1HXG2uOqkg/w-d-xo.html

Hi Pan. I park my car outside as I have no garage.So my car is under Sun and dust. After deep wash like you have shown and use the Ceramic Coating, would like to know would the Ceramic Coating protects the color/ paint against the UV Rays of the Sun? Or I need to add some more products?
Furthermore, I sometimes end with lot of dust on the car as I park it outside. With the Ceramic Coating , If I wash my car every 2 weeks, would the Ceramic Coating Last?
Please let me know. Thank you.
I use basically the same technique, except I touch the car twice, once when I physically wash it, and not again until I used the reload, as I use a leaf blower to dissipate any and all water for the surfaces, minimizing the physical contact with the painted surfaces seem to reduce any damaging the ceramic coatings properties, you're the best Pan!!
Thanks Dennis! For drying, I usually use my Master Blaster Revolution car dryer. Touchless drying. :)
I'm so glad I found this video. A guy I work with gave me his Z06 to just wash, however the detailing techniques I typically use on my cars didn't work on his car and I was getting very upset with myself and was pondering so much why his car isn't turning out like my cars. His Z06 was black and it was streaking A LOT. But now I know why, it is a whole another process to care for a ceramic coated car. Very informative.
I have to say that no one else can do a better job in explaining like you do. Truly hats off for such a wonderful videos and time you invest in sharing the knowledge. The video for apply the coating is just marvellous...keep it up and cheers all the way!

Pan, you car simply looks stunning! I love your step by step guide to keeping up with your ceramic coating. You explained things that I think a lot of people get wrong when maintaining their coating. I give you kudos for filming your videos in English and French, it must be very hard and then to top it off you edit both of them as well. Your hard work is paying off, I love your videos and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for your continued support Todd! Much appreciated.
Yes producing videos in both languages is very demanding. Detailing alone is quite a bit of work, so viewers can't imagine how harder it is to film above that... Plus video editing which I put a lot of efforts in. I get better at it as time goes by.
Have a good evening and thanks for watching!!
How long does it take you to clean your car ?
Watching these videos are not only informative but also therapeutic! Thanks Pan - car is gorgeous! Blessings from USA!

Pan, I looked at your first video yesterday. I wasn’t gonna do that because I was watching videos from other sources; I am glad I tried out. I love having clean cars; I don’t know much about detailing but I always keep my car clean. Your instructions are very simple and clear; I am going to star buying the same products you use and start detailing my vehicles on my own.

Thanks Daniel! I've been detailing for 20 years too! I usually do the top all the way around and work my way down, but for filming it's not always obvious as every step is time consuming.

Pan I applaud your enthusiasm, knowledge of detailing, and effort you put into you videos!!!!! But after seeing how much time and effort is required to keep a ceramic coated car properly maintained I have decided not to coat or pay $1,500 to have may car ceramic coated. I will just continue to simply hand wash my car as needed (monthly). Again outstanding work ethic and fantastic detailing!!!
Thanks Greg!
From Pan's videos, and those of other TH-cam detailers, it seems much easier to keep a ceramic coating clean than plain paint. My Glacier White Metallic Audi S3 Sportback had a simple Autoglym detail inside and out before delivery and 4 years on I've just purchased Gtechniq CSL and EXO to do my first ceramic coating on it. Mainly full snow foam pre and contactless washes have kept it immaculate so far and I expect the full ceramic coating to be even better. Nothing in this video that you wouldn't do anyway on a wash, so go for it!
Another top class video Pan. After watching one of your videos the first thing I did was smash the subscribe button. Always look forward to Sundays and Thursdays.

+Froylan Cepeda
Yup you just roll forward and backwards and apply brakes and that surface rust disapears. All rotors do that after washing. Totally normal.

Should Reload (or any other Silica sealant) be only applied every two to three months, or would there be an issue with doing it every wash?

Hey pan i live in hot weatherd and dusty area and car get so much road grime and tar how is the proper way to clean it with less scratches as possible thanks
You can use different products for tar and traffic film, such as CarPro TarX and Citrol 266 citrus based degreaser. You should also use an iron remover such as CarPro IronX and Gyeon Iron to remove iron particles embedded in your paint. So usually, you start by washing your car, then using iron removers followed by tar removers, rinse everything off well and then claybar your paint. You can then polish the paint or go straight to protecting it with waxes or sealants or nano coatings. See my videos to explain all of these processes. ;)
And to make things easy for my viewers, I include links to all the products used in each video in the description box under each video. You just click the "show more" button under the video and you'll see all the products.

A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers:

Another great and an informative video, Pan. My garage is not insulated or dry walled. So, I clean my car in the garage. I cause envy for my neighbors because their garage is finished.
If you saw my garage tour video, I detail my car in my garage, and made sure everything is made for that purpose. It's a fully finished garage. You just need to take the precautions when building it to ensure that you can work in there. ;)
Nice job. Wow, this is A LOT of steps. It's definitely worth it to pay for a maintenance wash
So,all and all ceramic coated car is always very much money demanding as a maintenance option-seen before with other "revolutionary" products. No,thank you!
Actually, it would be the opposite. A consumer grade quality coating like CarPro CQuartz UK Edition only costs roughly 60$ US for the kit with Reload spray sealant and you can coat two cars with a 30 mL bottle. When you consider that the protection lasts 1 to 2 years, you have major cost savings as you don't have to reapply wax every 3 months or a paint sealant every 5-6 months. You're also saving time by not having to manually reapply waxes or sealants. So it depends how you see things.
Personally, ceramic coatings (nano coatings in general) are great as they save you time in the long run, and added costs of having to reapply waxes and sealants.
I also never look at costs when detailing cars, as a car is usually your second biggest expense in your life after your home, and needs to be taken care of.
But to each his own, you're allowed to use any method you want to take care of your car. I show many different techniques in my videos.
What do you do to yours?
You probably only wash your car when you want to sell it back.
You are wrong,Tariq Aziz...I have employees doing that for me every 3th day..

Here's my more recent and updated ceramic coating maintenance tutorial: th-cam.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dl7hbBJ63ck5TWNg
I just got my humble sedan ceramic coated and this video is very educational! Thank you!😊
Glad it was helpful! Here’s my updated ceramic coating maintenance tutorial: th-cam.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/w-d-xo.html
When using air blower always use a filter for example a stocking over air input to save blowing particles onto car at high speed. Good video thanks. Ps you never listed the active snow foam on your list.
The final results always give me life!
Thanks!! :)

Pan TheOrganizer one time i saw a vehicle that act as car wash of course it was costumed truck , it has been made to wash cars on spot no need to go to any car wash shops and im obsessed with the idea so i did search on TH-cam but I found you instead . And im now living in your channel lol trust me our country did take care of the cars like no other countries does but you are on another level in this business so im trying to learn what ever I could from the best as yours .
Thank you . Great advice . Just got a new car and I need to do maintenance wash on it so first wash I’ll be doing this week . 👌🏽
Thanks!
What car did you get?
I got a black Porsche cayman 718 . It’s been treated by the dealer with Gtechniq Platinum . Just want to make sure I clean it properly with minimum damage .
Awesome choice!!
If you haven’t seen it, here’s the video where I unveiled my own brand new car: th-cam.com/video/Isiy3WQx5qM/w-d-xo.html
hey pan quick tip on window washing, if you dry using a squeegee, instead of pulling straight down, you want to dry using a kind of swirl motion starting in a corner, swirling up and around the window, through the middle, and ending in a new corner. this will help prevent water marks on the window, and may help you with your washtimes.
Coating lasts 12-24months, so how do I know when it is gone? And so say I’m 15months in and want to reapply or remove it completely how do I go about this? Lastly won’t the ceramic coating also get scratched? Can we polish and wax the ceramic coating? Need these answers before I pull the trigger 😃 Great videos by the way, very helpful, I hope someone can answer the above to 😊
Hi Kristupas. You'll see it's gone when there is no more water sheeting. Water will be very slow to sheet off. To make sure you've completely removed the coating at that point, a good paint polishing is necessary and reprep your surface to receive a new coat or two (like in my tutorial on ceramic coating application).
Also, ceramic coatings aren't meant to protect against scratches. That's pure marketing hype. Yes they are 2-3 times harder than your clear coat and will help DIMINISH the appearance of micro scratches, but that's about it.
If you haven't seen it yet, watch my full tutorial on how to properly apply a ceramic coating. It's ranked number one on TH-cam for coatings with over 1.3 million views so far: th-cam.com/video/byKcYsEyWGk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video Pan! I did ceramic coat my car.
Awesome!
Nothing's better than a well detailed BMW. Nice job.
Thanks Billy!! If you liked this video with a Beemer, I hope you saw my popular BMW M3 full car detail video: th-cam.com/video/OjQavIEiWlM/w-d-xo.html
Pan..sure did. I was curious about washing/maintenance on a sealed finish. Thx

I like to watch ur video .. it teaches me alot .. I am working on becoming a pro detailer... I have a passion for it ...
Looks like you found the right channel! I have been detailing for over 20 years and I love sharing my passion with my viewers!
I applied my coating after watching your first video and so far I am very happy with it. I ordered the reset and reload as well and the car is about due for its first wash. I do actually have access to a master blaster as well, I was wondering what the benefit to pre-drying with a towel is though, I typically use just the master blaster to dry.
Great video and nice tip on how to apply reload (i use much more so will use your method from now on) i had cquk applied on my car and keep it regularly maintained every month by washing with Reset and using a quick detailer comprising of Carpro Ech20 with a few ounces of Carpro reload mixed in. Every 3 months i use just reload to keep it in top condition. Been told mine should last unto 5 years by using this method. I also only cover 6k miles a year and don't do many long journeys.
Nice to see my viewers maintain their cars correctly! :)
Pan, I watched this video with much detail. You see, I just purchased my first BMW this week an X4. I can't wait to use many of the products you suggested. One question, where did you get the applicator sponge you use on the tires to apply the dressing? I am in the US. Thanks for you your very thoughtful and informative videos.
If you dont have carpeted wheel well liners, try out the Chemical Guys Barebones spray, or Adams polishes Undercarriage spray. Both are amazing at bringing back life to faded wheel wells. Great video!
I do have carpeted wheel well liners... Great for sound deadening, bad for detailing lol.

Lol yeah. No clue, ive been a subscriber for a while. Just stumbled on your videos.
Well let me officially welcome you to the Pan TheOrganizer family! Thanks for watching!
HitmanAtM16 Don't forget Meguires Hyper Dressing 👍
Many thanks Pan. This was just the video I needed. However, when I purchased my new car, I had the dealership apply a ceramic coating to the car’s interior. It would be great if you could do a video specifically about maintaining the leather interior of a car that has received a ceramic coating.
Another great video, Pan! Question...if I need to wash my ceramic coated car once a week, should I use the same washing process that you did in this video or should it be a different one? Please advise.
Here’s how I wash my car weekly: th-cam.com/video/X0msqeozDBU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nBFKawVNzKU5FdGd
That spray sealant was amazing. It even made your rotors go from rusty to shiny. 🧐
😂
Great video by PAN. Thanks !!! I recently did ceramic coating on my Kia Seltos but not aware of the maintenance process.
Thanks! You will learn a lot with my 500+ videos. 👍🏻
I just love watching these videos! So informative and enjoyable to listen to you talk about the products ☝️👍
Glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback Danny, always appreciated!
I like how you took it for a drive before the final image, so take off the rust of the brake discs :)) Nice Video bro!
Yup it's all in the details Stefan!

First of all I absolutely love your videos! You should 100% set up a Patreon. Have two questions for you. First of all what prewash snow shampoo do you recommend? Haven’t been able to find any fireball products online. Second of all, do you have any specific tips on cleaning black cars? I just bought an all black dodge challenger, which I hopefully will pass onto my 4 year old little brother as his first car, so all tips would be recommended! Thank you!
I also just got it ceramic coated so I want to buy a preshampoo that is safe with that.
Finally someone who knows what they’re doing

@@PanTheOrganizer I’m actually dropping my truck off to get ceramic coated right now and I have been looking for information on how to care for it, and found your video by chance and I didn’t immediately have that “that doesn’t sound right” feeling.

I was thinking that ceramic coating can makes the car cleaning more easy, just by a jet of water for example, your video shows that cleaning is now more difficult, costly, and effort full, no ceramic coating for my car, thank you.
If this is hard for you, then you don't like washing or cleaning your car. My channel is geared towards those who are passionate about detailing.
Yes a ceramic coating has self-cleaning properties, meaning the car is much easier to wash during maintenance washes. That doesn't mean that just pressure washing the dirt off leaves the car 100% clean. Who ever tells you that is full of crap. Things still cling to the paint, just a lot less thanks to the coating (compared to traditional waxes or paint sealants).
That being said, you can get to 85% of the result of this video, in simply rinsing, then using a foam cannon with something like Griot's Garage Surface Foam Wash, then rinse and dry. 100% touchless system. I did a tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/DjlUZnBtLtg/w-d-xo.html
But nothing will ever replace a proper hand wash done right.
@@PanTheOrganizer
85% of the results with a touchless effort is sounding good, I'll consider ceramic coating again, thank you again.
👍🏻
Thanks for the advise PAN. Saw u r video and was really impressed. Will definitely get one of those. And one more help..... I usually wash my car once a week generally every Sunday. Do I need to spray the Bead maker after every wash?? And do you advise any good spray dressers for in between clean ups, usually once a week.. I don't soap up the car too much during the in-between cleanups…I usually do a clean up on weekdays once or twice using a was coated duster. I dust off the car and use a spray dresser like CG V07 or P40 to give some gloss. Is that ok??
Reload rules!!!nice work Pan,beautiful car
Thanks Nick!
I now have a brand new 2018 BMW M550i. Here's the video where I fully detailed it: th-cam.com/video/dsCmJJDP3xo/w-d-xo.html
Pan - great videos. Two Questions: First, you mentioned you only use the Reload once every few months. I'm sure you wash your vehicle more often than that, when you perform regular washes do you just follow these same steps and forego the spray sealant phase? Second, I have the Adam's hex foam applicator for tire dressings, but how do you maintain it? Do you rinse it out after you're done? wring it out? let it dry? how often do you change it out? Thanks! Marty
Hi Marty! First, thanks for watching.
Yes you can simply forego using Reload. Or if you’re OCD like me, you can use it every 2-3 washes... I like using it as a drying aid.
For the foam applicator pads, I simply lay them face down on an old microfiber towel and mine still has been going strong for over 6 years. But I only use it with water based dressings. I have a separate one for petroleum based ones.
Thank you very much with all your videos. We really appreciate all your efforts to entertain and provide knowledge.
Thanks!!

I have the Tesla Model 3 and was looking to Ceramic coat it. Most Ceramic coating videos on youtube are about businesses that do the coating. Searched for DIY ceramic coating. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to show us how to do it. Why can't I have cool neighbors like you..
If you lived closer to Dallas, I'd drive over.
Great video with lots of tips as usual 👍... You are by far one of the few persons who give out so much information for free and I love that you provide if not all buy most of the links to the products used making it easier for your viewers 👍👍👍
Thanks Kyle! I appreciate it!
Which is your favorite video so far on my channel?
Pan can I use wash and wax type shampoos? Then use top coat spray??
No. No waxes on ceramic coated cars.
Looks really good. You should debadged your BMW and tint the windows. I like light tints, I only have 50% on the sides and rear. Crystalline on the moon roof and windshield. My car stays very cool when I drive and park. Of course when I park I have the oem sunshade up also.
I’m getting a new ride in a month... To be continued. ;)
Pan J'adore vos vidéos, j'ai tellement appris sur la façon de détailler ma propre voiture, et avec votre système de step simple. J'apprécie énormément tout le travail que vous faites comme vos milliers de fans sur les détails. Dans l'attente de la prochaine.
Merci Francis!!
Et comment as-tu découvert ma chaîne?
J'ai commencé à m'intéresser au détail des voitures, et je regardais des vidéos de ChrisX, puis j'ai vu l'une de vos vidéos dans les recommandations. J'ai regardé le tien et j'étais accro! J'adore tes vidéos en anglais, tu expliques tout de manière succincte et intéressante, beaucoup de gens se baladent encore et encore et encore !!! Vous donnez toutes les informations nécessaires d'une manière intéressante, et je l'apprécie. Votre vidéo de Q & A était hilarante, surtout quand ce type vous a demandé si vous avez utilisé des stéroïdes! J'ai ri de ta réponse LOL. J'ai regardé presque toutes vos vidéos maintenant, et je reviens encore et encore pour obtenir des notes et des conseils. Vous êtes fantastique!!!
Hehehe merci Francis! C'est gentil de ta part de me donner cette rétroaction positive. Je me compte chanceux d'avoir de bons auditeurs comme toi et ça me motive à continuer à produire des vidéos pour vous tous! :)
And revisiting this video as had my new car coated just last week! Great video. Will be using carpro reset and Gyeon bathe + shampoo. Also Gyeon cure to top up the paintwork and alloys every 2 months
👍🏻👍🏻
Superb descriptive and enjoyable to watch video! I was kind of hesitant to ceramic coat my own 2017 Toyota Corolla but after seeing this video, I did it. I was very impressed to really see the difference in the before and after reflection and shine. Now I need to get me a bottle of Hydrosilex Recharge to maintain my car exterior looks. Thanks Pan for bringing out the courage in us for DIY projects. Hats off to you! 🍻🍻🍻. Cheers!
Thanks for your support!
Hi Pan. Great. Ideas, keep them coming. I drive a 4WD so get more dirty compared to road cars. Have you ever considered a video on what is best for our vehicles? Protection, maintenance cleaning etc. thanks.
Unfortunately these brands are not available in all countries. Could you explain a little bit more in detail what the shampoo actually is or definitely shouldn't be? For example, is it Ph neutral, alkaline, with or without shine properties(is that a good idea at all to have a shampoo with a gloss build in?), multi component or single etc.
Keep up the good work, awesome vids!
Hi Pan! Excellent video!!! You obviously use very good products, but I have a question. What do you think about the 9h Mr Fix nano coating? Do you have an oppinion on whether it is a good product or not? It's almost the only product I've found available in my location.
Thanks René!
For my favorite products and recommendations, I highly recommed that you watch my 2017 car detailing products awards video: th-cam.com/video/AnT7vhvgc58/w-d-xo.html
I see where some say drying with a leaf blower is good to dry so that you can avoid touch car as much as possible, also must have grit guards in both buckets to capture dirt at bottom of buckets. Good vid
Thanks! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer Discovered you just by surfing TH-cam, you've always had detailed content & quite informative. Thx
Thanks for the positive feedback.
Thanks a bunch Pan. Awesome videos. Just had my vehicle coated and was wondering why you don't use an air blower to dry the car first before using the microfiber towels?
You can do which ever method fits you best. There's no "right or wrong". But for sure, a coated car is much easier to dry. Even just using the car dryer is more than enough.
Great video. Just one question, should I claybar a brand new car before laying the ceramic coat? Will bring mine home this week-end and wanna do that. Thanks and cheers from Belgium
You only clay the paint if it needs it, meaning if you feel bonded contaminants embedded in the clear coat. If you clay, you traditionally have to polish afterwards.
Thxs Pan. Really great video. The Rinse & Wash buckets make so much sense! Thanks again.

Thanks for this great video Pan! I applied carpro ceramic coating after seeing your first video. It turned out great.
QUESTION: Unfortunately, a sadist intentionally caused few scratches on my car's left door panel. Fortunately, those are not deep as I cannot feel them on my fingers on touching. I still have the coating and the silica spray. Do you recommend applying it on scratches will eliminate them? Thanks in advance.
Ceramic coatings don’t hide scratches. You will have to polish them off with CarPro Essence+ (not the regular Essence). It’s the only polish that you can use to correct defects on your ceramic coating. And then you’ll reapply CQuartz to that section.
My pleasure. How did you discover my channel Navodit?
@@PanTheOrganizer I googled "ceramic coating"
Hatts off to you for such a detailed and elaborated stuff. I am about to coat my car and wanted to get to know about the maintainance process which you have covered very well. I will keep you tips in my mind. Just a quick question...if you find dust on the car after a day or two after this detailed cleaning, what should be done? Can we clear the dust with microfiber towel or shouldnt do his for the sake of swirl prevention and wash the car with water again? Thanks
If there’s just a light layer of dust, you can simply do a contactless pre-wash with a foam cannon. If you don’t have a cannon, you can apply ONR like in my new Optimum detailing products review videos. Have you seen them?
Great job I have a question why when u washed the body why u didnt wash door jams ? They get very dirty I notice u wipe them down with your special drying towel
