I personally used the Nanoskin Fine mitt and Glide lube before I paint corrected and ceramic coated my Hellcat with cQuartz 3.0 UK last month using Pan's videos. It was easy and knowing that I do drop things like towels and have to get another, I decided a clay mitt was best for me. I actually did drop it once, power washed it, and went back to work. Thanks Pan for the reviews. My car looks great!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Awesome!

[@yamasubaruger]

Although I've only used one clay mit at this point in time, I have to say that from what I can tell so far, is that for heavy contamination, a old school poly clay bar will still work best. The car that made me realise that was a MDX that was most likely never detailed. There was some weird heavy iron contamination in the hatch area that took a combination of clay and iron remover to remove. The mit had no chance at tackling that situation. Also the malleability was a big advantage.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You always start with chemical decontamination first (iron, tar) and then follow up with mechanical decontamination using a claybar and clay lube. Watch how I fully detail a car here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6W7mX2Elqtje6c

TL:DR - It's fun trying out lots of new stuff but most of us only need a couple hundred bucks of essentials. It's easy to slide down that rabbit hole but for most of us, we only NEED a few critical things to truly produce an outstanding shine. My personal detailing tub consists of these things - Adams Iron Remover - Adams microfiber wash mitt - Adams Interior Detailer - Adams Clarybar - Adams microfiber cloths - Adams tire gloss - Adams Ultra plush drying towel - MeGuiars gold glass wash - Nanoskin clay lube - McKee's Krystal Vision glass cleaner - EZ detail brush for wheels - Home made Isopropyl Alcohol/distilled water spray for old wax/sealant stripping - Shine Supply Slick back (very very fine grit final polish just before applying wax/ceramic/etc) - Shine supply Clutch - Griot's garage orbital polisher - Griot's Finishing pad and an assortment of Cobra cross groove pads It's all together maybe $350 worth of stuff but I've spent a LOT more over the years trying different things like the foam cannons (both hose and power washer style - foam master II that attaches to your hose works perfectly fine) although I typically don't bother with foam unless it's been a month between washing and for that, I use Chemical Guy's watermelon snow foam, I've used several different post-wash sealant sprays, tire shines, interior cleaners, etc. Paint sealant/prep sprays are another thing I've tried several of and good old alcohol and water works just as good. I've got several friends who have a massive collection of detailing supplies and I find that what usually happens (I'm guilty of this as well) is that they buy one product and use it maybe once or twice and then buy something else to try leaving that first purchase to just sort of sit there. So instead of that, we swap products all the time and the general consensus for most of the stuff we've all bought and tried is that unless you are a professional who is extremely familiar with the intricacies of how these products work and what results you are used to seeing, it's all basically the same stuff and for a decently taken care of car, foam and clay are rarely needed and for new cars, a single pass of finishing compound is going to get you a great mirror-like surface for whatever sealant you pick and you shouldn't have to compound/polish again for at least a year if you use the 2 bucket method and go easy when washing with the mitt. I've got ceramic on my wife's car, my Dodge Charger that I just sold only got a finishing pass with MeGuiars 105 ultra cut compound and finished with Chemical guys V07 and after every wash, I would spray the hood, roof and trunk lid with the V07 quick detailer and that was it. When I sold it, the paint still beaded water and felt slick with only minor light swirls from washing and that was it. The ceramic is awesome and I think it's absolutely worth the money but vs my Charger, I couldn't tell a significant difference when it came to ease of washing or quality of shine or anything like that. I just got a new car on a 3 year lease after selling the Dodge and this weekend, my plan is just to wash it, spray it down with iron remover, clay, alcohol prep spray, slick back with the polisher and then throw the V07 on it and after each wash, hit it with the Clutch spray. That will easily keep it pristine until I have to turn it back in.

Good video, as usual. I used to use a clay bar, but about 9 months ago I discovered a clay mitt. Had to buy it online in Australia, haven't seen one in a shop. And I haven't used a clay bar since. Still got a brand new bar in it's box. I've just worn the mitt out and started on my second one. Just so much easier. Had to buy a container to put it in, everything sticks to it otherwise.

[@Kenpobruce]

Great Video as always Pan. I have used Clay for years and years - last time I detailed I used the Nanoskin towel and sponge ( both fine grade ) with the Glide 1:10. What an awesome experience with the product and because there is no folding and turning of the clay you can do the entire vehicle in very quick time. In the video you clayed the entire hood in 30 seconds.

I have been using Mother's 2.0 Clay Bar along with Purple Power as a lubricant...I do small sections at a time and rinsing often...It leaves the clearcoat virgin clean...The sealant application afterwards goes on perfectly...The final results are astonishing.

[@sweetness_5772]

I feel that the clay bar would the best choice to use. Simply because you could actually see the contaminates on the bar as opposed to the clay Mitt or towel. Also, the 3M's, and Meguiar's clay bars, that are made in Japan, are the best to use without spending a lot time claying and removing the contaminates on the finish. I noticed you didn't put the link for the professional grade clay bar from Meguiars, and 3M's, that are made in Japan, as you mentioned both of them here in your video.

Question - I bought a one-year-old truck a few months ago. Since I had no idea how it had been cared for, I clayed it and added a ceramic coating. How about a video that walks us through what do do when the ceramic coating is 6 - 12 months old. Do I clay again? What if I'm using something like CarPro Reset? Can I just ceramic coat again over the last coating or do I have to start over again? Thanks, Pan. Great videos and great channels.

Hey Pan! I have a video suggestion for you. I like you live in a harsh winter location, I'd love to see a video of how to clean a really hard winter dirty car for those whom don't have access to a heated garage without access to free flowing warm water. The entire process from removing the built up snow and ice in the wheel wells, caked on salt all that horrible fun stuff. I was also wondering if when it gets to that point can I use products such as Mastersons waterless wash and shine or ONR and power clean? I've been thinking about purchasing the Ammo NYC cleaning kit any thoughts? I saw a chemical guys video where he used eco smart on a really salt black car minus the close up... I know there's a lot in this comment but I would greatly appreciate your advice.

[@maryhartsock7792]

Thank you for explaining “when to use clay bar/media”. My car is still very new but I can see minute scratches on the hood. They can only be seen in good sunlight if you squint and turn your head sideways and look across the hood at eye level. No, I’m not joking. I do that 😉. I thought I needed to remove all the old wax and coating and clay bar, compound, polish, re wax then finally detail spray. Since the car paint still feels like a glass surface I guess that claying is too much. Perhaps the scratches are only wax deep? I only wash my cars by hand and they are garage kept and driven in good weather. I might just remove all the old wax and apply new wax and see how that works.

[@OutdoorsIQ]

Mary Hartsock Using polish will remove those minor scratches. It does this by removing a small amount of your clear coat so should be done sparingly. If I was you, I’d just enjoy your new car and perhaps set a calendar reminder in 6 months to do a machine polish :)

Pan, excellent explanations on clay media. Two years ago I clayed and applied ceramic to my car. I’ve only driven the car about 3,000 miles since then and keep it well protected from weather in my garage. Just washed it and utilized the plastic bag technique. Felt Very-very minor bumps in surface. You mentioned in video that you don’t recommend claying a ceramic coating. Think I need to clay again before I add another ceramic product to the paint surfaces. I find several of your videos very informative. Thanks for the great information that you provide.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jack! If you’re at the end if the life cycle of your coating, I would redo the entire process: wash, iron decon, clay, polish, IPA and reapply a fresh coat. If it’s not the end of the life cycle, use an iron remover, and then after you’re done, apply a coat of silica spray sealant. Avoid claying.

Ford has a protected right to these type of stripes ( in other words, they are only available from the dealer ). Well these thing can get marred very easily and even thou I haven’t used anything on them, I tried the Meguiars spray sealant, and they went cloudy! I’m guessing claying them would be out of the question to get a deep clean. Do you have any suggestions? I had to use FW1 on them to restore the gloss and lose the cloudiness on the Meguiars product. I, like you am in Canada, and 1 upper hood stripe is $274 dealer cost! So you can see why I’m nervous about them 😳 .

Hi Pan. Mate I was just wondering, what is the best way too clean your clay bar towel. 🤔

[@Minkyu85]

Ultra soft clay bar for maintenance. Clay mitt and towel for polishing. Period.

Hi Pan, thanks for another great video! I’m about to take my first foray into clay, any thoughts on the Chemical Guys clay block and how it measures up to bars/towels/mitts? Merci!

[@kwdoss56]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I have watched them all and started detailing my own cars with your advice. I really appreciate people like you. I have one question, how many pads do you typically use when cutting/polishing a car? Do you clean them along the way or just swap them out? Thanks again for everything!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Kenneth! For a car, I typically use 4 to 5 pads for the compound, and 4 to 5 pads for the polish. I clean them often with a pad cleaning tool. Most important is to properly clean your pads after each job is done. I have a tutorial on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3inl4WgmLWUjpY

Hi Pan...I am new to home-detailing. I just purchased a new 2024 Ford F-150 pickup that is "cobalt blue". I noticed after washing it that the microfiber drying towel was "sticking" on the paint and leaving lint behind. (very clean towel but not brand new). I bought a yellow clay bar and lube. I tried on a small section and noticed an immediate difference in the paint. The paint job is a mess. Is there any issue with using a clay bar on a new vehicle? And is it ok if I just use a sealant after the clay bar instead of polishing? I'm 71 years old and just washing this beast is a chore. Thank you for your great content. Jim in Oregon

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Jim. You can absolutely use a clay bar on a new car. Just keep in mind clay bars are abrasive, and that's why we usually do machine polishing afterwards, to remove the marring left behind. A better option nowadays is to use a newer generation synthetic perforated decontamination towels (also nicknamed clay towels) which aren't abrasive. Paired with a good clay lubricant or soapy solution as lube will get the job done. Here's a link to my own CLEAN By Pan The Organizer clay towel: tinyurl.com/2xdm94p4 Also, if it can help you visualize the process of detailing a new car from A to Z, see my videos below: Audi RS6 Avant Performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gma2gmOQfq92oJIsi=mcQiMs9HBLlaqjGK Mercedes AMG GT 63 Coupe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anzdn6WdaL9mZ9E Mercedes S 580: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKLCpZmZrNesjKssi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Tesla Model 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4eagoqtrtqDgpY Aston Martin Vantage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzKkmavj7uHp9E Volvo XC60: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqenc3Wbo82MfKM Porsche 911 Carrera: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTOmpysl6ukqZY Audi Q7: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmirdHWJi9OcsK8

[@mattavalon]

@@PanTheOrganizer my pleasure. I think the comparison of items such as clay bars, mitts and towels. Also the correct way to do things. I would like a concise episode which covers all the processes, like a bullet point check list from dirty car to washing to chemical treatment to clay bar to compound to wax etc. At each stage listing the products in order of price or best to worst. It’s a lot of work but what a definitive list it would be!! Thanks again for what you do 🇬🇧

Thanks for watching Dominic!

[@democraticunderground5665]

Thanks for another helpful video! Sounds like they all perform the same, but the job may go quicker with a mitt because it would cover much more surface area than the standard clay.

I use diluted ONR as clay lube and this is very good and cost effective plus it has other uses. Still use the clay bar albeit rarely since the clay mitt makes doing the job way easier and much much faster mainly.

Hi Pan, After watching a couple of your videos I had to subscribe as your info and clear instruction given by yourself are great. Also what's great is that there are a variety of great products out there which to choose from. Now, all there is left to do is buy some of the products and get to work! Keep it up.

[@kawh8719]

Thank you for tackling this, Pan. I was just wondering what else I could use to clay my vehicle.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@alozano793]

Thank you sir. I have seen the other "clay" like objects that can be used even while washing (apparently) and see the effectiveness of claying or similar processes before a wax. Side bar: the car detailing business seems like it is growing exponentially, common for me (from a sport like snowboarding where the science/gimmicks don't stop). So much offered and its very helpful to see some real world testing and comparisons.

[@stephenlouden480]

after contact wash and rinse refoam the car and use a clay towel seems to be the most efficient way to decon the paint imo. does a dedicated clay lubricant work, yes but as long as you're using a quality lubricious soap theres no need to spend extra $ on clay lube just make sure you don't use a ceramic or wax based lube ...also don't clay every car you clean unless it's required. only clay unwaxed and neglected paint. if the paint isn't rough to the touch after a wash n rinse don't use it. be safe and make sure to clay on a cool surface out of the sun. happy detailing everyone

[@chrisbraganza8481]

@@PanTheOrganizer I have a 2013 BMW 335i 4-door sedan in the dark metallic blue with brown interior. I purchased it 1 year old with 11K miles at Carmax. It now has about 77K miles. I use Carly for BMW on my Google Pixel 2 phone to run diagnostics, code and service resets. I replaced the paper engine air filter with a K&N oil infused filter, replaced the spark plugs myself at around 70K miles. Hoping to do a Bootmod at some point. Replaced the AGM battery myself too. I tossed the run flat tires and installed Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ all season tires that I love. Great traction with these tires are much more silent compared to the run flats. Mine is a staggered fitment, Front 225/40ZR19 and Rear 255/35 ZR19 . Rear wheel drive. Purchased a donut from a place in Philly that was tested on the staggered fitment. BTW, get the Carly for BMW if you don't have it already. Hoping to do additional mods to the car like new wheels possibly from BBS. I follow Brian Kies @kiesmotorsports. Great videos!

Hi Pan, I am setting up as a detailer following many years in the auto bodyshop industry. I been watching lots of your videos and they are great, however no one talks about the charging out process i.e. how much you can charge for certain services which I think is key. I know every country/person is different but it would be great to have some sort of guide. Over here in the UK I hear of very large charges for complete detailing on top end sports cars which is great, but what's the reality. If you not able to comment I understand, but I would love to know what other guys/companies are charging. Keep up the good work Pan.

[@-zerocool-]

Used the clay towel on y bonnet once, scratched the hell out of it so scared me away from them, though |I believe now some do this, some dont. I just use a clay bar with dedicated lube now. Some shampoos dont have the lube to be used as clay lubricant so thats another thing to look out for.
