Hehehe thanks man! I can't even believe that goal of 1 million subs is quickly approaching! What a dream this entire thing has been since I started my channel in April 2016. By the end of 2024, we should surpass that million mark if I still have the energy to produce videos. It's super demanding to produce content for KZbin. One video can take 10-15 hours to produce, and I often film twice as I restart everything in French. Nobody else does this in the detailing world on KZbin. And since I started my channel, I have never skipped a single week of uploads. Iron man medal someone please? :)

[@whitsundaydreaming]

Lubricity… I like that. Looks like a great, comprehensive line. I didn’t know that clay was too abrasive for these applications.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Polishing a coating isn't recommended, as you would damage and strip the coating. Mechanical abrasion and friction will remove the coating. Chemical decon steps are always preferred on coated cars. I would recommend the following steps: 1) Wash the car with a decon shampoo like CarPro Descale. It's slightly acidic pH will help remove minerals and water spots. 2) Rinse it, then use a tar remover if you have tar deposits. 3) Rinse it, then use an iron remover to remove brake dust and industrial fallout. 4) Rinse and dry the vehicle. 5) Then use the water spot remover, which will also help to remove any minerals left on the coating that perhaps are masking its properties. Rinse, and wash the car again. The coating's properties should be restored at this point, assuming the coating is in good shape and was applied properly and is still within its claimed durability. Also, clay bars are abrasive by nature, and again, not recommended on coatings as you would damage the coating and potentially add some marring to the paint. If maintained properly, you shouldn't have much embedded contamination. In some rare cases where you might find some contamination left after all the chemical decon steps, like a bit of grit in the clear coat, you could use a synthetic clay towel (that uses a different clay media compared to traditional clay bars) and lots of clay lube, in order to lightly clay the surface. A clay towel like this one: bit.ly/43nrfce Or this one: bit.ly/43y0Mss But test on an inconspicuous area first!

[@colinbonnar2302]

Great looking results as Gtechnique makes strong products. The new EVO looks really glossy and slick which should make a lot of people happy. For those worried about the drying aid just use the drying aid when the vehicle is wet and dry. Then reapply the topper when the paint is dry. Sadly I just ran out of their bug remover as the product always worked. I do have a idea for future videos as the use of a primer polish before applying a ceramic coating has been going through my head a lot. Then again this could be a rabbit hole too. Thank you for another educational video full of tips and tricks!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Neil. I think you meant EXO right? EVO is in the Gyeon line of coatings. ;) For primer polishes, there is still much debate on that. Some like using them, some prefer to just IPA wipe, and then apply the coating. However, having visited Dr Beasley's headquarters recently, and having talked with Jim, owner and chemist, he had an interesting take on his primer polishes and his explanation made total sense. I have been testing the NSP line and I'm quite please so far! Here's that interview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6nElICoe6p7n9U

[@neilwalker5041]

@@PanTheOrganizer your correct Pan on EXO. I must have been thinking about eating tacos! I ann still ignorant on the bindings of the ceramic to the paint. I can see the primer polish filling in the crevices of the paint which then gives the coating a better grasp. I know when I am over my head and this is one of those moments. The Dr. Beasleys video got my attention along with Miranda’s videos about the polish too. Thank you for thinking about this.

C2V3 seems like it would be the go-to product as it seems to be a higher level of protection.

Great video. Perfect timing. I have a to a maint wash on a ceramic coated white truck that has rust spots likely from the brake pads. Sounds like iron remover will remove them?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Alan. The rust spots are most likely brake dust (ferrous particles) that embedded themselves into the clear coat, oxidized/rusted and hence why you see those. Yes an iron remover is meant to help dissolve those. You would proceed exactly as per this tutorial. Depending on how bad they are, a second round of iron remover might be necessary. Wash the car, rinse it, apply the iron remover, let it dwell for the recommended amount of time (don't let it dry on the surface, and don't apply in direct sunlight) then rinse and dry the paint. Look at the results. If there are still specs left, reapply the iron remover on dry paint this time, and gently work it in with a microfiber towel, and rinse. That should do it.

Love the channel... I have a new 2023 white 4runner (2 months old, garage kept) that I am planning on doing a ceramic coating. Do I need to use iron remover? Also, with a new car, do I need to polish (there are no swirls or holograming). If a polish is a must, what gentle polish would I use?

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. Congrats on getting your new 4Runner! However, 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 from two of my customers: Tesla Model Y: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naDLnKZurbVohLs Porsche 911 Carrera: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTOmpysl6ukqZY Audi Q7: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmirdHWJi9OcsK8

How often would you use a water spot remover on a ceramic coating been using descale every 3 months but i do have some on roof is 3 monthly okay to remove or when ever i see them as rain keeps leaving them

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You wouldn't use that on a weekly basis, as those are pretty strong chemicals. You use them on an "as needed" basis, meaning when you see water spots. And CarPro clearly states that Descale should not be used for regular maintenance. Overall, once a month or once every other month is ok for mineral deposit removal, assuming you have a quality ceramic coating that was properly applied. Regular washing of your car is what helps prevent water spot damage. Use a pH neutral shampoo and wash your car at least once a week. I wash my car twice weekly on average.

Hey Pan! Great video! Watched a few minutes and saved to finish it later! Question... My wife's SUV was ceramic coated with a 4 year from Ceramic Pro. It also has PPF on the whole frontend. I wash both of our cars on a weekly basis (even in the winter) and after 13 months, the frontend and trunk seems like the water sticks and there is zero hydrophobic properties. I have been washing it with Optimum No Rinse and every so often Mr. Pink from CMG. Yesterday I finally washed it with CarPro Reset, it helped the lower panels a bit, but, the frontend and trunk are still clinging on to the water, as if there was zero protection. Was I too naive to think that washing weekly would extend the need for a decon on the ceramic coating? I have IronX on the way, to see if that will help before paying the detailer to do their maintenance wash, which I believe is the same (or almost) process as I am doing. And, something tells me I should have gone with a different company for the coating lol...

[@theredscourge]

Hello again to the hardest working detailer on KZbin! I'm a novice compared to you, but I'm wondering whether your washing regimen, and that of most of the KZbin detailer folks, might be a bit excessive, at least for coated cars. Let me know what you think if you can. I bought a brand new car this year with black paint which came with a synthetic sealant. I wanted a ceramic coat, but would have to strip the sealant, so after a great deal of research I decided to just apply the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene spray 2-3x per year since it gives ceramic properties and can be layered on top of other coatings or itself. I applied it after a car wash in mid-April, it's now early June, and I haven't done a proper contact wash or been back to the car wash since! While I don't drive a lot and it doesn't rain much here, I park outside and Calgary is very dusty, so the car gets covered in dust in under a week, yet a pump sprayer pre-soak followed by a waterless wash is all I've needed since mid-April. I do 1-2 washes per week (~30min each time), it's still easy to clean, and hasn't lost its hydrophobic properties! Also I just use tap water and CarPro ECH2O and air dry, and even if I use the very hard water at my parents place I never get water spots. I just don't wash in direct sunlight or else the chemical leaves minor streaks. I'm not sure if my results are due to my chemicals, my wash frequency, or just dumb luck (maybe I'll have problems once I drive through some mud puddles), but so far I'm not seeing any reason I'd need to use foam cannons, pressure washers, the car wash, or even a sponge and bucket until the winter road salt returns.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax is very good, and on its own, I typically see 9-10 months durability in our harsh conditions. Some viewers in gentle climates have reported 10-12 months. So yes it's a very good paint protectant, especially for such a low price. But you still need to reapply more often than a full blown ceramic or graphene coating in a glass bottle. Those typically last 2+ years, many new offerings are now 3-5 years+. They offer even more performance compared to spray products. True coatings have better self-cleaning properties, better hydrophobics, more gloss and slickness, more chemical resistance, etc. But they cost more, and take more prep and time to apply. So it all boils down to your personal preference, experience level and budget. There's nothing wrong with a spray alternative, as long as you stay on top of reapplying when needed.

If you really have contamination, and you tried chemical decontamination and it still feels rough, you can try using a synthetic clay towel that won't scratch the paint if used correctly, with a clay lubricant. A towel like this: amzn.to/3JHfrtG That shouldn't damage the coating, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the point of using the ceramic wash if you dry it with the ceramic sealant?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

No an iron remover won’t strip ceramic protection. You don’t have to use both the ceramic wash, and the silica spray sealant. You can use just a regular shampoo and the ceramic spray at the end.

It depends what your intention is. For regular weekly washing, a pH neutral snow foam like the Meguiar’s or Koch Chemie Gsf is all you need. But when you need stronger cleaning power for removing traffic film and grime, a stronger snow foam is recommended like the Gtechniq, CarPro Lift, Bilt Hamber Touch-Less, etc. Repeated use of those can weaken even the best coatings so be aware.

The only thing I’ve done differently last wash was to apply Wet Coat. Could that be the problem??

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It's not really a problem if your coating is super hydrophobic and repels stuff, hehe. It's actually a good thing. Also, I don't know what snow foam you are using, and what coating you have. Many variables can influence how runny or "clingy/thick" a snow foam is. Not all snow foams have the same characteristics. Also, do you work outdoors or indoors? I have a much longer dwell time indoors, compared to outdoors that's for sure. Wind and the sun greatly reduce dwell time. You don't want to let the snow foam dry on the surface.

[@Sharma72]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the info. I’ve been using ValetPro PH Neutral snow foam which is not the ‘foamiest’ but works for me as my car is never that dirty. The coating is CSL and two coats of EXO V5. I always follow a wash with Wet Coat and final wipe with Cure. That probably explains the lack of foam! Washed outside in a shady protected area. Interestingly, I ‘lightly’ hand polished with CarPro Reflect last time and it has completely brought back the lustre and shine while still remaining very hydrophobic. I think these spray on / top up coatings are great but they do gradually seem to mask some of the depth and shine of the paint.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If you are using a microfiber drying towel to dry your car, you should be using a drying aid. The drying aid (or quick detailer) will act as a lubricant between the towel and the paint, preventing marring. Anytime you "touch" the paint if when you have chances of marring the paint. I wash towels after each use. Especially when you use a ceramic spray or drying aid, that protection will eventually coat the fibers and make the towels less absorbant over time, even more if you don't wash the towels properly. This is the best microfiber detergent that was development to help remove the sealants from the fibers: amzn.to/47CNMDc You can put a few ounces of it in a bucket of warm water. Let your towels soak overnight. The next day, wash your towels in the washing machine (1oz for light loads, 2oz of detergent for heavy loads). The best scenario is a touch-less drying with a car dryer or leaf blower. If you have some protection on your paint (wax, sealant or ceramic coating), then you can easily blow dry the car in just a few minutes with a blower. That's what I do. And then I do a quick once-over with a microfiber towel and drying aid to pick up and residual water and boost gloss/slickness.

Phosphates in detergent refers to the use of phosphates as an ingredient in a detergent product. The advantage of using phosphates in a consumer laundry detergent or dishwashing detergent is that they make detergents more efficient by chelating calcium and magnesium ions.[1] The disadvantage of using phosphates is that they remain in wastewater and eventually make their way to a natural body of water.[1] While phosphates are low toxicity, they instead cause nutrient pollution and feed the algae.

What can I use or recommend as a quick detailer for in between washes for a ceramic coated car?

[@GtechniqNorthAmerica]

Give our Quick Detailer a shot! Specifically formulated to create a lubricated surface between contaminates and the clear coat.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can use the Gtechniq quick detailer for regular washes. Link: bit.ly/3MTVv7P Or any drying aid of your choice, as long as it's compatible with ceramic coatings. I made a video about my favourite drying aids here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIC3f5iaZZmrj6c

Super informative video as always! I’m planning on ceramic coating a new car next but I can’t store it inside. Can I use a car cover overnight to keep the morning dew off the coating whilst it cures? (I never use a cover but wondering if I should make an exception here).

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes you can.

[@jasonnlarkin]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for taking the time to answer. Best start looking for one.

[@Theseones]

I was wondering, is there a specific order to do the decon stage? Example, iron remover first, then tar remover and lastly a waterspot remover. Does the order matter or not?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If you were to use all three, it would be tar remover, iron remover, and waterspot remover. All performed on a clean vehicle.

[@joenace6473]

Hey Pan, Great Video. Is it okay to use Iron Remover on a ceramic coated car every once in while? thx

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes as shown in this video. It’s actually recommended to use iron removers on coated cars once every 3-4 months or as needed depending on your levels of iron contamination.

INCROYABLE cette vidéo tombe à pic.. ma voiture est chez un pro actuellement qui va lui appliquer cristal serum ultra .. Petite question PAN comme tu l'expliques cette vidéo est pour un lavage tous les 2 mois environs ET si les lavages sont un peu plus rapproché on est pas obliger de décontaminer tous le temps, pareil pour C2V3 ? et concernant le shampoing peut on mettre le ceramic en lavage hebdomadaire ou ce n'est pas nécessaire ??? Que penses tu de mélanger W5 et W6 dans un sprayer ?? MERCI pour tout et tu es au TOP ...

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Exact. Ce type de lavage plus en profondeur s'effectue une fois tous les 2 ou 3 mois. Pour les lavages d'appoints, chaque semaine par exemple, tu utilises un shampoing pH neutre tout simplement, et à la fin du lavage, tu peux utiliser un QD pour booster le lustre et l'aspect lisse au toucher. Donc pas besoin d'utiliser C2V3 à tous les lavages. Tu peux utiliser leur QD. Je ne mélangerais pas les produits chimiques ensemble, car il peut y avoir des réactions chimiques inattendues. Tu fais les étapes séparément et seulement au besoin. Normalement, un décontaminant ferreux est bon tous les 3 à 4 mois, si tu as des disques en acier traditionnels (non nécessaire sur des disques en carbone céramique comme sur ma Porsche 911 Turbo S), mais tu utilises un dégoudronnant seulement si tu as des picots de goudrons, ce qui est plus rare.

Hey, Pan. I have been watching your videos since Feb of this year and a recent subscriber. You have helped me keep my cars looking new! Thank you so much! I have been using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line with great results. However, I haven't found any videos in regards to caring for chrome. I have chrome bumpers and "chrome" plastic trim (emblems, grille, etc) on my truck. Is there anything special I need to do? Thanks again and you have the best car detailing channel on KZbin!

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. For chrome, there isn't anything special to do, assuming it's in good condition. You can typically apply the same paint protection on chrome as well. Chrome plating shouldn't oxidize or rust. It can rust when damaged in an accident for example, or start to be dull over the years. You can use a chrome polish at that point, to help restore it.

[@l.f.4603]

Thanks, Pan. When my TWHS stock is depleted, I'm going to try out some of the other products you recommend. Keep up the good work. For those of us who are just getting started on auto detailing, we appreciate your knowledge and expertise. 👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the kind words! What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?

[@l.f.4603]

I enjoy the Detailing 101 series. A tremendous help!

[@ivenpolis3764]

Hey pan, is there any way to remove scratches from my ceramic coated car without actually removing the coating? I used a cheap car cover over the winter and ot left a bunch of tiny scratches. Thanks

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You don't polish ceramic coatings as doing that would damage and strip them. Mechanical abrasion removes any paint protection. There is however one polish that exists that can help to corrector VERY LIGHT scratches or swirls on coatings. This one: bit.ly/42wKKOv

[@McMuscle3]

What do you feel like is the best consumer available coating? Adam’s, duraslic, ect?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

DuraSlic is a professional grade. All my top picks are in my popular annual car detailing products awards video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYPapK2krMuHrac

[@albo9122]

Can you apply exo v5 over another brand ceramic coating once decontaminated (ceramic coating was applied 4 months ago ) ???

[@PanTheOrganizer]

In theory yes.

[@cgraham6]

I have to wonder, if you use a 'ceramic shampoo' every time you wash, could that replace using an SiO2 spray topper on a coated car, or should you still use both?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I prefer silica spray sealants, but if you use the ceramic shampoo regularly, in theory you wouldn’t need to apply the more durable spray topper more than once every 6-12 months.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Pan, can you suggest a utility cart that us weekend warriors could use to store/use our hoses, deionizer, pressure washer, etc?
