A note to anyone considering getting PPF. For the love of god stay clear of stealerships.. go to a shop that specializes in it instead. I haven't even had mine on a year and its already lifting

[@edward1927]

Wife got hers at the dealership and they told me they just subcontract it out. So most dealerships aren't doing it in house, just ask who they do it through and then make another phone call to that shop and ask what product they use on dealer cars.

Hi Pan, I had my black Tesla protected with PPF, and had ceramic coat applied at the same time. I have been using Mckee’s rinse less wash and Armor coat lite from Avalon King as a drying aid since I washmy car once a week. I also use this product as a maintenance polish once a month.

Hope to hear from you in the comments!

Thanks but Gtechniq doesn’t have all the equivalent products in their lineup to my knowledge. You’d have to check their website and do some research.

Informative video, thank you. I have a 2020 Sienna mini van that has PPF applied over Blizzard White and it shows dirt just under the edges on the hood, front fenders and sideview mirrors. Any way to remove that dirt or mildew from under the PPF?

[@07wrxtr1]

Whomever installed it did a poor job. They should have wrapped it around the edges going under the hood and out of site. You can try cotton swabs and alcohol Just keep in mind that you want it sitting in the sun to get it to bond back to hood after you have cleaned… Once those edges get damaged they’ll start collecting crap constantly

[@Jumboloving]

Hi Pan, would it be ok to wash the whole car with the PPF wash from Gyeon if only the front bumper, fenders, hood, and mirrors have PPF? Or should I wash those with the PPF wash and then switch to my usual shampoo for the rest of the car? Thank you for all your super informative videos by the way, I’ve learned a ton through your videos.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Gyeon PPF Wash is pH neutral at 7.5, so it's safer than most general car shampoos.

[@tomdwyer6187]

The front of my car has PPF and the rear ceramic coating. I had it done before I found your channel! Next year, I might ceramic coat the PPF. But between now and then, can I use shampoos, cleaners, etc. for ceramic coatings on the PPF? Or PPF shampoos on the ceramic coating. This is just to clean my car every week or so. I guess what I'm asking, what productions for cleaning can be used for both. Thanks!

[@Mattty16]

How did they turn out mate as I have same question

[@ienjoyrice]

I used a pressure washer to wash my ppf ceramic coated car. Some of the ppf started lifting. Be careful with using pressure washers on the edges of ppf.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It was likely poorly installed, or you used too much pressure. Never exceed 2000 psi when washing cars. I set my pressure washer to 1000 psi.

[@SuperAnonymities]

Hey Pan, I have PPF and ceramic coatings on my car for about 1.3 years now. And I noticed, they've done a good job on damage protection etc, however, it doesn't shield them from water marks. it's a lot more obvious especially on the hood's PPF. I've washed my car weekly, and yeah, my country has a lot of rain. Almost raining every 1-2 days so it's quite impossible to keep the car dry all the time.. Any tips to solve this water marks problem?

[@TheBreakfastLover]

I suggest Xpel Water Spot remover. It's designed for both PPF and ceramic-coated PPF. I use it after every winter to get rid of any traces of mineral deposits and salt. Just spray it on, let it sit for 30-60 seconds, then rinse off.

[@SuperAnonymities]

@@TheBreakfastLover Does that remove the ceramic coating?

[@TheBreakfastLover]

@@SuperAnonymities it does not, as per Xpel (and on the bottle as well), it's intended to be used on both Xpel PPF, and Xpel PPF with Xpel Fusion ceramic coating.

[@07wrxtr1]

It’s probably just like that CLR stuff you can use in the house for things like showers, shower heads, etc… but probably not as aggressive

[@TheBreakfastLover]

@@07wrxtr1 correct, CLR has a pH of 2, which means it is 100x more acidic than Xpel Water Spot remover (which has a pH of 4). Thus CLR will strip most ceramic coatings, which can typically tolerate a pH as low as 3.

Hi Pan, can I clay bar PPF and what speed machine polish should I use?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

In theory, yes you can clay PPF. However, you should be very careful as traditional clay bars are abrasive. Perhaps use a synthetic clay towel, that won't cause marring, something like this: amzn.to/3JHfrtG And make sure you use a clay lubricant. For polishing, you'd use the same speeds as for paint. You start low to spread (speed 2) and polish using higher speeds (5 or 6) depending on what machine you have. Always do some testing on an inconspicuous area first. Or hire a professional detailer if you're unsure of what you're doing.

[@Silence07617]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan for the swift reply!

My pleasure.

[@Austin-tt3lh]

Just wanted to comment on the ppf maintain longevity. I live in FL, garage kept, air conditioned, white vehicle, Xpel ppf. Without any sort of decon I get around 1-2 weeks. Maybe it'll get rained on 1-3 times, I don't bring it to work so it'll sit outside a shop or something, not all day otherwise it's in the garage, it does shed dirt and debris somewhat but nothing spectacular or to write home about. For a reference I put about 5k miles on the vehicle in one year so I don't drive too often. Full decon(strip wash, ppf wash, ironx with a synthetic clay bar, panel prep) I get 2-3 weeks out of it. VERY disappointing to be honest. I'll use the rest of the bottle but it would have been nice for the price to get something with a little more longevity. I won't be purchasing it again. That being said it really does make the car POP, especially for a white car. Some serious shiny candy look going on and very reflective. Hopefully you see this pan and the manufacturer.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If you want maximum durability, apply a PPF coating. There’s a limit you what sprays can do on PPF. Gyeon themselves only claim 6 weeks durability with this. And usually in the real world, you rarely reach full manufacturer’s claims, for many variables often discussed in my videos. A PPF specific coating should get you 1-2 years of protection. Then use the spray for maintenance. Same principles as for paint products. See my PPF coating tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYOmmKSafNepqKMsi=7wQ86GrlqQ8_pt2V Welcome to my channel.

Thanks for the video. I noticed there are some water spot shows on the ppf. Is any better way to remove it rather than polish? Cheers

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can start with a water spot remover first. You have to neutralize the minerals before attempting to polish. If the water spots aren’t too old or haven’t started etching through the PPF, it’s possible the water spot remover on its own will solve your issues. Here’s a very good water spot remover: bit.ly/3UO1UX4 Wash the car first, then use the water spot remover. Welcome to my channel.

[@philipkeys3638]

Great videos as always btw 👍 Quick question? I have a vehicle that has a complete PPF all the car has been protected and it has been installed for about 3 years. It’s in great shape and I maintain it well. The vehicle has extremely low mileage and is kept in a garage quite a lot of the time. Do you have to replace the PPF at some point as I have noticed some people say as the PPF ages it’s more difficult to remove it ? Is this correct. I am concerned about how long the PPF will last before it needs to be replaced for easy enough removal before it becomes too difficult to replace? Any advice of information would be really appreciated Thanks

[@Triggaaar]

So that covers putting products on the ppf, but how about the washing process, and specifically, pressure washing?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You would wash your car the same way as a normal car. Never exceed 2000 psi with the pressure washer. And don’t spray too closely to the body.

[@Triggaaar]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the reply Pan, much appreciated. Some places say not to pressure wash at all, which wouldn't be ideal for me. Obviously avoid too much pressure, particularly near the edges, but unlike most other things in this hobby (illness) it's not really something we can learn about as we go, as if we get it wrong once, we damage our expensive ppf. Anyway, thanks for all the advice on your channel 👍

[@bchez2314]

Hi. Great video. Do you have a video actually showing how way to use these products on PPF ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A few of them in this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYOmmKSafNepqKM For the rest, it's pretty much the same as regular paint. Maintenance is the same procedure (iron remover, extra paint protection with the ceramic spray, etc).

[@ahumpage]

Pan, thanks for this. PPF isn't cheap so maintaining it properly is an issue. If I had to pick one it would likely be that Gtech Halo. But I have a question: my QX80 is a tad over a year old. Always garaged, maybe 6K miles a year. I understand about being careful of the PPF edges, but why would I not just use Turtle Wax ceramic spray followed by a graphene spray since I already have them, and, they're fairly easy to apply. I understand they may not last 2 years but as an alternative every 3-6 months, would that not work?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes that would work. As long as you protect the PPF, it's all good. :)

[@ahumpage]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you.

Hi Pan, Some PPF have ceramic coating infused in their surface (Avery Dennison), can we still apply ceramic coating on the PPF? Can ceramic coating be applied on Matte / Satin PPF? Thank you for all your tutorials

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You would have to ask your PPF installer if he feels ok with applying a PPF on top of your coating. Normally, it's the PPF first, and then a coating on top of the PPF. Most PPF coatings (like Gyeon PPF, CarPro Skin and Gtechniq Halo) can be applied on glossy or matte PPF. No problem. Welcome to my channel.

If you applied a ceramic coating over all the exterior surfaces, treat it like a coated car. ;)

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Great tips Pan! PPF is always a nice thing to have. I do have a question though. Will using CarPro Reset strip away or deteriorate Ceramic sealants like Hydr02 and Wet coat? I've been perfectly fine with GSF, however, $30 a bottle does get a bit expensive over time...

[@PanTheOrganizer]

No Reset won’t hurt those.

[@racker3277]

Hi Pan, Great video as usual. Just wondering is there any difference between Restart wash and PPF Wash from Gyeon? Sames as PPF Maintain and the almighty Wet Coat? Is the main difference is the product mainly develop for PPF due to the difference from PPF and Paint because how the product will "stick" to the surface?

[@TheBreakfastLover]

I'm also having trouble finding the difference online, but it seems PPF Wash and Restart Wash serve the same propose, but PPF Wash is formulated to remove more of the contaminants that get embedded in PPF, while Restart is formulated for coatings/clear coat.

[@xcjrx]

How does PPF Maintain compare to Wet Coat?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Maintain is more like Gyeon Cure. WetCoat is a spray on rinse off sealant.

[@BMan100]

Watching this makes me realize just how grabby PPF is. I picked up a Ridgid compact and in some places it works but in others it sort of just makes the water splay out, I think I really need to coat it to help with drying... MOHS EVO HERE I COME! or Can coat .... still need to buy the stuff to wipe off then polish...Challengers being so large I'd rather spend the extra for 100ML for 2 coats, then do my wheels in one shot in some cases.

hi i have a question, its been 2 years now i have PPF applied on my car and on top of that i applied 2 layers of Geyon PPF coating, now i feel the hydrophobic properties have immensely diminished thus i want to get my car recoated, so my question is what to do? how do i remove the previous layer on a PPF car and install new layer? Is the procedure same for PPF coated car?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The only way to ensure 100% removal of a previous coating is by machine polishing. So a light polish and polishing pad should do the trick. You'll know you succeeded with the removal when the water won't bead anymore, and will simply be a flat pool of slow sheeting water.

[@JC-dc9oz]

do you think I could simply just use P&S Beadmaker to coat the PPF for protection and shine ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes, just keep in mind Bead Maker isn't used for long term protection. It just lasts 3-4 weeks on average. We usually use it as a topper over longer lasting protection, to boost gloss and slickness. As long as you're willing to apply Bead Maker regularly, no issues. But the best would be to have a PPF coating, and then use Bead Maker as a maintenance type product. Welcome to my channel.

Pan, Rick here. On a previous video for 20 uses for a rinseless wash, you mentioned putting some in your wash bucket to prevent water spots for those of us with hard water issues. Can you mix the the rinseless washes in your video with our choice of foam canon wash shampoo, Mr Pink, Adams, Car Pro Reset, etc to prevent water spots? Thanks.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Not sure about the use in a foam cannon. You’d have to ask one of the brands that makes a rinseless wash.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

In general you shouldn't mix rinseless washes (which are higher in emulsifiers) with shampoo (which are higher in surfactants). If you do, the mixture will coagulate/clump and you lose the cleaning properties of both. The exception is DIY Detail Rinseless Wash, where Yvan somehow figured out how to make an effective Rinseless with high Surfactants, which is why it also foams in a foam cannon.
