In this video, you'll learn everything you need to know about ceramic coatings. Ceramic coatings are commonly called "glass coating", "nano coating", or "9H ceramic coating" or "SiO2 coating".
There are a lot of false claims about ceramic coatings, which we'll cover here, but there are also incredible benefits that they provide, such as:
- enhancing the gloss and appearance of your paint
- providing UV protection
- making the vehicle much easier to clean thanks to self-cleaning properties
- protect your paint from the elements and from bird droppings, acid rain, bug guts, tree sap, etc
- provide super hydrophobic, rain-repelling properties
- provide many years of protection

It's been a little over a year since I coated my car. Yesterday I used diy detail clay towel and boy ill tell you that's exactly what it needed. I was unaware of how much contamination was in the clear coat. It brought my coating back to how it was at day 2 last year. And the clay towel helped get off very stubborn road tar that came from summer time highway driving. Fantastic products that I can't recommend enough

Awesome video Pan and Yvan. I can attest to Yvan's claim that his DIY Detail ceramic coatings have a one-hour cure time. I had applied his 3-year graphene coating to the hood of my car and a storm cloud showered it with water one and a half hours later and the coating stayed intact. This is huge for people who don't have garage access (like me) who want to ceramic coat their vehicle without the concern of the coating getting wet a few hours later. Keep up the great work guys.

Living in the rust belt of Pennsylvania, when it's sub zero in the winter for a week or more, NO precip, & the roads are dry, should we hose off @ a self serve, go to a touchless car wash, or just leave it dirty until the weather is warmer. I'm a senior & won't think twice of going to a self serve if it's above 32°f. 👍

I'm from Western Australia and Des from AutoFX here in WA corrected and ceramic coated my BMW 650 a few years back and did an amazing job. Since then I have always used a brand called Optix from AutoFX WA and it has always been very high quality. My ceramic coating lasted comfortably 5 plus years (WA has a fairly harsh climate) until I sold the car. I would love to see you trial this brand.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I never heard of that brand, and I don't think it's available in Canada.

Very timely video . I did a wash and 2 decons on my Ram Truck yesterday .and today another wipe down with surface preparation . Then put two coats of Gyeon Q2 Mohs 2018 version on the truck an hour a part had enough from the 30 mil bottle to do the Wheel's and the truck bed cover ... Tomorrow I will put a layer of Cure on it .. After reading and watching a few videos I was thinking this was going to be a nightmare . But I was surprised the coating went on easy wipes off after 3 minutes very easily outside temperature is 68 f I borrowed my buddy's garage so I worked inside .a somewhat controlled environment . Looking forward to tomorrow to put the cure to protect the coating while it fully cures Thanks to your channel I'm very confident I can clean and polish anything Thanks again Clive I actually did the application process with a few round aplicaters and found that circular motion worked very well .no arm fatigue.. and maybe used 4 in total with 6 cloths I'm in Winnipeg Canada so I'm getting a head start on winter prep

Hey Pan, thanks for a terrific channel. I just bought a new car and wasn't planning on ceramic coating it right away so I put some Griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray on. I am now thinking of trying the DIY Detail Ceramic Coating. How should I go about stripping the 3 in 1 off? Should I use Griots Surface Prep to strip it before using the DIY Polish? Thanks again!

[@briana3544]

Great video and very informative! In regards to using automated car washes, I don't like them either. However, here in Ohio during the winter we have no choice if we want to get the salt off. I will only use touch-less and mainly for the undercarriage wash. I wish I had a heated garage to work in, sometimes our cars go months without washing!

[@diydetailofficial]

its better to go through a car wash than let the salt and dirt fester on the surface for months

[@jazzman9469]

Great video guys! Can you define for us what is a "high spot" and how do we spot them and remove them?

[@diydetailofficial]

A high spot is an excess amount of coating that hasn’t been leveled. The best way to remove them, is to avoid them in the first place. If you do get one, you can polish it off.

Hi! First, welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on KZbin as we surpassed 950,000 subscribers and we have over 125 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. To answer your question. 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5jSqqV5Ypp2g8U So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers: Mercedes S 580: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKLCpZmZrNesjKssi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Aston Martin Vantage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzKkmavj7uHp9E Volvo XC60: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqenc3Wbo82MfKM Tesla Model Y: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naDLnKZurbVohLs Porsche 911 Carrera: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTOmpysl6ukqZY Mercedes AMG GT63S matte black: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4abq5pnob2pjrssi=oGxoCp8PWt7gTncV Audi Q7: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmirdHWJi9OcsK8 BMW M6 Gran Coupe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2maqivgL2mbrM BMW M340i: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6W7mX2Elqtje6c Audi RS3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGWUnnSAm7B3gq8 Golf R: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKOUappqhbx9qc0

I have a 2023 Corvette which was purchased in 2022 and had a professional detailer put a ceramic coating on it and it took him 6 hrs to do the job, because being the body was fiberglass, he did a special prepare on it, I think. But then I could not pick the car up because it was raining. I paid around $ 600 dollars for the service and did a great job. But now when I us a spray foam from one of you video the surface is so slick the foam just flies off. Thanks for a great video!

Hey Pan! Yet another helpful and informative video! Thanks for posting. At 30:44 (in the video), you asked Ivan for his thoughts on using APC pretreatments on ceramic coated cars before implementing the washing process. He recommended quality APCs over products like "Super Clean." This bummed me out as I have been implementing Super Clean (diluted of course) as my APC pretreatment. Admittedly, I LOVE using Super Clean as it gets the job done and it's VERY affordable. I wash my car once a week as I drive a lot for work and in dusty, dirty, rural areas. I don't want to do any long-term damage to my car, but can Super Clean really be that bad if numerous pro detailers use it (Phil, from Miranda Detailing and Luke Wilson, from Wilson Auto Detailing, to name a few)?

Hi @PanTheOrganizer, Really nice video and a good idea to have these all together in one material. I do have on question related to the DIY coatings, especially the 5 years one, seems at a decent price but there is no mention of the PH resistance level. Would there be a way for us to find this out?

The PH resistance is 3-13

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@GoGreenBx]

Hey Pan all ur videos great as always! You’ve mentioned a lot of ceramic coatings use a topper to help with things like water spots. I see DIY Detail doesn’t have a specific topper for their ceramic s. What do u think about that? Their formula accounts for that? Or should I add something if I decide to go with their coating?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It depends on the brand. Some companies recommend that people use a topper every 2-3 months for maintenance, but we are seeing more and more brands come up with coatings that don't require any maintenance toppers. But we all like a bit more gloss and slickness after we wash our cars, so it's only natural that enthusiasts will use some kind of topper every now and then. The coating will still benefit from it. In fact, DIY Detail themselves have very good toppers: Ceramic Gloss & Quick Beads.

[@GoGreenBx]

@@PanTheOrganizer Glad u mentioned that I wasn’t thinking of quick beads or the detailer of a topper to the coating thanks!

[@diydetailofficial]

They still sell it today, I remember applying multiple coats of that in the early 80’s

[@user-xv6pd5sm6j]

hey pan, love your incredibly wonderful and informative videos. i have a problem. i am getting a new car soon and i want to get it ceramic coated. i live on long island new york and do not have a garage. our winters can be rough as i am sure you know living in canada. i know we should not go to a car wash unless it is touchless. unfortunately there is no such thing on long island. how do i keep the salt off my car? i am not going out there in below 32 degree temps to use the bucket and mitt only method and cannot use my outdoor hose when it gets that cold. can i go to a cloth car wash as opposed to the brushes? will that hurt the paint or ceramic coating? any suggestions? thank you for all you do. richard

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Unfotunately, there isn't a miraculous answer in your case, as you don't have access to a garage to wash your car yourself. Your next best option is to visit a professional detailer on a monthly basis, or at least every other month, and have them perform a proper maintenance wash during winter months, until it gets nice enough outside where you can take care of your own vehicle. Or, another option is to go to a self-serve car wash, where they have heated wash bays (if there's such a thing near where you live) and bring your own buckets and tools and chemicals to wash your car in their facilities. But if you absolutely want to take your car to a car wash that uses brushes, keep in mind that your paint will inevitably get swirls and scratches. There's no way around that: the friction from the rollers or cloth bristles touching your paint will cause marring, swirls and scratches over time. Also, automatic car washes use very high pH soaps that over extended use could start weakening even the best coatings (as we're reaching limits of chemical resistance when you are talking about pH 12-13). So the coating will have much higher durability compared to a regular wax or sealant, but it likely won't reach the maximum claimed durability from the manufacturer. How long? Nobody can say for sure.

[@mikebonge7206]

Great video. I am doing way to much work. I will buy this brand of coating next. I been using car pro Very.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Mike.

[@diydetailofficial]

thank you

[@ceasar5871]

So whats your take on Carpro's Dquartz ceramic coating ? imo having actual scratch and swirl resistance is really amazing. Pan you have to check them out!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven’t tested it yet.

[@dexteralleyne6117]

Pan, I understand you said 2 weeks before a wash but to let the coating fully cure, but how much additional time should I wait to apply a topper like bead maker?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I would wait 2 weeks before washing the car and applying a topper.

[@johnqcitizen9177]

I love the videos. Quick question My son used “ the pink stuff” that’s what it’s called to get tree leaf red stains after raining and must of pressed to hard and now we have abrasive marks on the hood and trunk. How can we get rid of them by ourselves ? Thanks for your time.

[@johnevans715]

Never ever use the pink stuff on any surface of the car. VERY abrasive. Needs to be polished with a machine polisher

[@diydetailofficial]

Unfortunately you will need to polish the surface.

[@Zert1on]

A question ive akways had with ceramics is if i use and AIO sio2 wax and a sio2 wash and coat, what are the differences in protection if im using the wash and coat for mt weekly washes? Is it aa good or worse orotection than a coating?

[@diydetailofficial]

The best protection is a coating.

[@juancarrillo5881]

What do you recommended? I polish the vehicle with RUPES un1. Pure ultra finishing polish can I apply the a coating on top the punish ???

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Do you mean Rupes Uno Advanced or Uno Protect all-in-one polishes? I would not recommend applying a ceramic coating on top of those, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat, without any protection on the clear coat, if you want to ensure a proper bond and ultimate durability of the ceramic coating. Uno Protect lays down a sealant layer, and Uno Advanced lays down a small ceramic layer of protection. Both are things you don't want before applying a true coating in a glass bottle. So you would have to use just a pure polish (like Rupes DA Fine high performance polishing compound, yellow bottle) to remove any previous protection, then use a paint prep spray or IPA to wipe the surface of any polishing oil or residue, and then apply the coating.

[@terrywalters5410]

What do you think about CSI single stage polish?

[@stevendellavo1959]

Does anyone know if I can use Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax and Hybrid Ceramic Detailer, both spray bottles on my ceramic coating?

[@rhebbhulett]

The “and it’s fun” factor of detailing is why I do it. I just enjoy it. I like trying new products and methods. I like hand washing. I like time to just turn off my brain and focus on something.

[@diydetailofficial]

Perfect

So I have a car that has OPTICOAT PRO on it. It’s 7 years old but doesn’t see the day light very often. I believe the coating is still there but is there something I can apply since it’s 7years old or not to worry about it?

[@diydetailofficial]

No need to worry.

Whats your opinion on keeping a ceramic coating in the fridge and letting it warm up to room temperature before applying

[@diydetailofficial]

No need unless it’s suggested by the manufacturer.

[@frank.bullitt]

Awesome Video. In your opinion, Can Turtle Wax Flex Wax(graphene) be added to the top of a Ceramic coat(Kamikaze Myabi/Diy Detail etc) or just do 1 or the other?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes it can.

[@frank.bullitt]

@@diydetailofficial Thanks for the quick reply. Is DIY Detail products available in Perth, Western Australia or Australia?

[@diydetailofficial]

@@frank.bullittyes through the Car Care Co network of retailers.

[@DaveFogel]

I bought the dyi 3 year, but after watching sounds like I should have bought the 7 for the best quality. Is that correct? Or is applying a 3 year and then again after 3 years going it be better than a 7 year?

[@diydetailofficial]

The choice is yours, both perform well.

[@cranfktubner7677]

Great Video 👍very informative and debunking knowledge. Where is Ivan’s outfit? Shirt+butterfly bow tie?? Also it seems like there was some constructions going on in the background. That was painful in the headset 😅

[@diydetailofficial]

The dressed up look is for me comfort clothing. Yes there was construction outside unfortunately.

[@flytyingguy1]

Great information guys . What about if you coat the car and 3 or 4 days later it rains? With the hurt the coating?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The DIY Detail coatings only require 1 hour of curing time after the application. After that, you can drive off in the elements including rain, no problem. But wait at least 7 days before you wash your car after the application. If you are referring to other coatings, most coatings typically require 24 hours of curing without exposure to rain or water, so check the instructions of the coating you are buying.

[@flytyingguy1]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan I was talking about the Adam’s advance Graphene coating

[@TheMiddlemanPc]

Hi Pan, Question for you. I have a 2015 Kia Optima that just got a new engine put in it thanks to a recall. I now what to keep my care protected because I can have it a lot longer now. I want a good mirror wet look. It’s a burgundy color, so like a deep redish purple if that makes a difference. But I need something that will protect the car well but doesn’t cost $50 dollars. Is there something that will give the car a mirror wet look on a pretty dark color car while protecting it pretty well?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Gyeon CanCoat EVO. 6-12 months protection and super easy to apply spray coating.

[@TheMiddlemanPc]

Thank you!

[@erictourangeau7255]

Salut pan la protection céramique de trois ans es ce qu'il faut seulement une couche ou deux est nécessaire j'essaie de trouver les instructions il n'y a rien d'écrit aussi es ce qu'il faut une couche de protection par dessus merci.

[@diydetailofficial]

Pour DIY Detail, seulement une couche. Pas de protection supplémentaire requis.

[@the_king8690]

Hello Pan, I've run in to a problem that I can not seem to figure out, hopefully you can help me: We applied the Gyeon Synchro EVO coating to my car on Saturday 21st of October. The application went smoothly and everything was done according to the instructions, we checked the paint several times for any errors but no results. Today (2 days after the application) several high spots appeared that we had not previously noticed during several checks, our question now is whether you know what causes this and whether/how it can be solved. There was a 70 minute difference between the 2 coat layers and the temperature was ±14 C during application. As far as I understand from your video, We can fix it with a light polish and light pad? Kinds regards.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hard to say as I don't have enough details on how you applied or how things can have gone wrong plus I wasn't there to observe the application. Troubleshooting these things at a distance is near impossible. A few notes though. Apply the 1st layer of MOHS, wait 1 hour, then apply the 2nd layer of MOHS. After the final layer of MOHS, you wait 1 hour and apply a thick layer of Skin. After all that is done, they recommend letting the vehicle in a dry place untouched for at least 12 hours, 24 hours being even better. No exposure to rain or water during the curing time. And wait 14 days before washing the car. Ideally, you'd be working in temperatures of 20C or as close to that as possible. 14C is getting close to the bare minimum which is 10C for applying coatings, so you were on the cooler side of things, meaning it takes longer for the coating to flash (warmer and more humid temps lead to quicker flashing times). Now at this point, the only way to remove the high spots will be to machine polish. But that also means the coating will be removed. Once polishing is done, you'll have to use Gyeon Prep again to wipe the surface free of polishing oils, and then reapply the entire coating system. Or reach out to Gyeon and see if they can help you troubleshoot, as they are more used to helping their customers on specific issues like yours.

I want the coating they put on "Knight Rider" that makes it able to crash through a wall and not dent. 😉

it was a stunt double coating, but you need sequential red lights in the front for it to work.

Hey. So I have an appointment to have Opti Care ProPlus to my Model Y. What is your opinion of that product.Anything I should ask the company before I go? Thanks for great videos.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You mean Opti-Coat Pro Plus? It’s a great coating. In fact, Yvan had applied it on one of my previous vehicles in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZDLk2uGgrVmgaMsi=6qmeFIPUr1I7CnoI

[@stephenlouden480]

have you tried Gyeon Pure Evo? after using other coatings. it is by far the easiest coating I've used and one of the glossiest. I also applied it outside in the early morning without issues. best part is you can coat a whole panel or two and then go back and level without worrying. I didn't polish either as it was a brand new Tesla and had nearly no imperfections. my customer said if I didn't need to polish then don't so we inspected it and only took care of like three scratches. I did wash full decon iron remover , clay, ipa wipe then coated. 👍 whole job took 4 hours

[@KingRockets]

So many mixed reviews on Pure Evo. Half the videos on YT are about how difficult it is to apply/wipe off. Most suggest Mohs Evo (+/- Skin) instead.

[@stephenlouden480]

@KingRockets crazy I think Mohs is more difficult not much but Pure is definately glossier and can't sit on panel I left it like 7 minutes and it leveled so easy and no high spots

[@KingRockets]

@@stephenlouden480 have you tried using Mohs Evo as well?

[@stephenlouden480]

@KingRockets yes I love the whole Evo line I just like Pures shine and gloss best

[@KingRockets]

@@stephenlouden480 Awesome, i'm new to their line, but cool to hear that you like Pure Evo the best. Did you top it with anything?
