​@@stevelangsdorf7307how did it become all about the money? I watch tons of these videos and I don't see that at all. He's telling us what the best products to use are which is a pretty massive part of detailing. He uses dozens of companies products. In this video alone he goes through like ten manufacturers of products so he's not bought by any one of them. Also, the man clearly loves cars. Why do you care whether he bought a nice car? He's not allowed to buy a Porsche? The jealousy in that statement is wild.

You do realize he makes more or most money off his videos than what products he sells, right? And if you think he talks to fast then rewind it and listen or again or become a better listener.

Hey guys, chill. I like Pan always have, I am very happy for him and his success. The question was how does he not have 2 million subscribers and I tried to be objective in my answer and give some reasons why he might not have as many as we think he should. I watch all the top guys and I don't get why he doesn't have more. But just because I answered the question doesn't mean I am a hater , it means I tried to answer the question. Obviously there are a lot of Pan hatrers out there or more people would be hitting his button. So you tell me why YOU think he doesn't have more viewers . Can't wait.

Pan, quite late to reply but this was incredibly helpful. I have always been nervous about cleaning the engine bay on my new cars, but I took the leap of faith. My truck gets rustproofing oil treatment every year, so the grime was severe. I figured it was time to reset and start fresh - and wow! It was quick, easy, and painless.

6:02 After I clean my engine on my 2020 Toyota Camry and let it dry . I liberally spray 303 Protectant , all over the engine compartment and let it soak in . Never any streaking / staining issues , etc. I do this about twice a year to help rubber and plastic components resist cracking and fading . Then about a month later I will clean the engine again , as the 303 Protectant attracts surface dirt . Best time I think is during hot spring and summer . That allows the 303 Protectant to be really absorbed the best . My air intake is open , so I stuff a microfiber towel in it to prevent water from getting inside

Pan, it is always soooo satisfying to lift the hood and have it look as good as the rest of the car. I just did my pre-winter clean and coated with Seal&Shine. Twice a year [for me] keeps things looking very tidy with the degree of difficulty and time consumption to a minimum. Patience and a bit of persistence on the initial deep clean then as you say "practice" can keep maintenance to a short time. Not to mention potential resale value! Gr8 vid! Shine on you crazy diamond!

TY Pan loved this engine detail video, I do pretty much as you did to detail my engine with similar products available here in Australia except on the hood/bonnet, there i find it much easier to use damp/wet micro fibre towels after spraying the metal areas to wipe off any dust and then vacuum the material sound proofing. I do it that way as i don't like to get a lot of water on that area. Loved this mate as so many as you said tell you DON'T DO IT!! you will cause issues, well I have never had an issue detail the engine bay and my mechanic loves me for it makes it a joy for him to work on and shows i care.

Thanks Pan! It was great to meet you at SEMA. I always look forward to drinking coffee and watching your videos on a Saturday morning. I have over 20 years of auto repair experience. And agree that most things built after 2005 should handle these steps pretty well. Never use a garden hose, avoid high pressure contact from both washer and compressed air. You don’t want to force water past the weather pack seals. And of course, use common sense and look the engine over first. I would also watch out for labels fixed to plastic parts. They come off easily with water and dirt if not being careful. Same with powerful degreasers on painted engine covers.

You know, I am thinking of unsubscribing from all the other detailing channels because I love the way you explain everything so well plus you seem to be doing videos of everything we need.

New cars are a lot easier to maintain like your girlfriends car which is only a year old but I would enjoy seeing you challenge yourself with a neglected older car. Thanks for Oz.

I use Optimum Power Clean and steam to clean engine bays, along with microfibers and assorted brushes. I've used my old wheel woolies to clean some of the "less accessible" areas of engine bays.

For cold air induction systems, I wrap a gallon size ziploc bag around the air filter.

Great video as always. Still I'm not sure that using the pressure washer is safe. Instead I always use a couple of brushes and microfiber towels to do the job. It takes a bit more time but i think it safer that way and preventing any risk caused by water getting to some electrical parts, etc.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You do as you wish. I have pretty much always used a pressure washer and never once had any issue or feedback afterwards that something went wrong. Again, common sense. Also, a pressure washer uses less water compared to a garden hose. So although it seems like you're using a lot of water, you're actually using way less compared to a regular garden hose setup.

[@CageyLeigh]

@@PanTheOrganizer LOL. Ivan is using a $20 garden hose that uses more water, while you’re using a $1500 pressure washer that uses less water. Ivan has saved himself a lot of money by using a little bit more water. Go Ivan.

[@g.christopherlyn685]

Actually it’s quite safe to use the pressure washer if you are using common sense, staying below 2000 psi, and always keep the sprayer moving as Pan says. Dealers use it and professional detailers have been using pressure washers for a long time now.

[@k1sfd1974]

If water getting into the engine bay was an issue, we’d have issues every time it rains or we run through standing water. The only issue I can see is if you get too close with a pressure washer. If you use a fan spray and stay at a sufficient distance, you’ll use much less water with a pressure washer than a garden hose. However; like Pan said: you do you. Edited for spelling

Beautiful turnaround on Isabellas suv. I actually did this about a month ago, took the vehicle to krown rust control & they messed it up a bit. Touched up the vehicle again and all is good. Perfect tutorial pan. 👍🇨🇦

Best engine detail video that I have seen so far. I have three of my own to do. Two of them are very grungy diesel engines. Going to use your Super Clean video and this video to do those. I bet they come out great. Thank you!

I LOVE cleaning engine bays! I have a 2013 Explorer Sport that is basically a "backup" vehicle, and I cleaned its engine bay recently. It is getting dusty from sitting with the hood open (battery tender), and I want to detail it again, since it looks so amazing when it is freshly cleaned.

Great video, I also use Green Star and Motorplast, but have also used Koch-Chemie Vorreiniger B instead of Green Star as it is my standard pre-wash foam. I was quite nervous the first time, but never had any problem. Motorplast made a never washed 10 years old engine look new. I never dry the engine bay. Keep up the good work, picked up a few new tips here for the next wash

[@nomad509]

Jeeze Pan, thanks for reminding me how dirty my engine bays are, lol. Videos like these help in making me feel more confident in cleaning them for the first time. My daily driver looks like a natural disaster under the hood compared to this one. There are a few ones out there that are a huge fan of Hyper Dressing but I've only used KCx Motorplast on wheel well plastics and was blown away! That engine bay looked fantastic but honestly I would have misted distilled water on the black plastics before using the dressing though.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have a water deionizer in my garage. ;)

[@nickwarren5800]

Hey Pan can we get a video or an updated video of a top 5 products to keep in your arsenal if you wanted to keep your used products at a minimum or if you're on a budget. Like some multi use products would be great and explaining the variety of uses for each product. With so many products out there now it sometimes gets overwhelming. Love the content keep it up.

Excellent work Pan! I like using Super Clean for the initial pre spray and a mixture of any APC and high foaming neutral car soap in my foam cannon or IK foam sprayer and apply a heavy rich foam to do it's work. I usually hit everything with my steamer and agitate with brushes and a final rinse. My go to protection is 1:1 dilution ratio of Chemical guys VRP. I will definitely consider your process by eliminating the steam to see if I can get the optimum results.

This makes me feel better. I’m nervous a little bit because my engine is pretty exposed and I didn’t want to mess up anything. I was also nervous about water near headlight connectors. I’m going to start small and do it until I feel way more comfortable. As well, I’m going to by that mini blower with heat that should save me a ton

Pam, just a comment, for older cars with more exposed metal, how do you keep the chrome/iron parts shiny after degreaser, protected? This clip and your chosen products works well for a modern car with a lot more pastics/rubber hoses. What would you use to shine and protect the main engine hub?

For people saying it's not safe. Pan said he has done hundreds of engines details and I've done probably 1000's over 26 years, yes it is safe as long as you take precautions. The only issue one of my detailer had was because a mechanic forgot to put the fuse box cover back on properly. Besides that,use common sense and don't blast the engine super close,stay 2-3 feet away and keep moving the water media.
