Hi Pan, I had a quick question, I just got a 2023 Mercedes SL which came with Nappa Leather. seats and dashboard. I want to protect the leather throughout the interior of the car so I don't end up with a cracked dashboard or seats. Which product would you recommend that can be used to protect the Nappa leather and not damage it and keep the leather looking new, like from the factory? Any recommendation would be appreciated. FYI, I've referred to using Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner, would you agree and recommend these products or would you have a better option you'd recommend? thanks.

[@lindavent9490]

Great video! Clearly demonstrates that investing in a few key items, such as drying towels, wheel and barrel brush, etc., can really save you time and money in the long run. I think the same holds true for other products as well. For someone only occasionally cleaning their vehicle, these budget products are better than nothing. Anyone watching here, I believe has evolved to higher quality products, and appreciates the difference.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

For sure, just the fact one would go out and detail their car already surpasses the majority of the population that neglects their vehicle. So while the products can sometimes be super important, it’s the methods and techniques that are even more important. Give a good detailer average products and he’ll still do a good job. But of course when you detail vehicles regularly, then it makes sense to invest in higher quality chemicals and tools if they can increase your efficiency and results and make the user experience better.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

I like this channel, and I’ve always used budget products. I have my favorites, and they work for me. I’ve come back to Turtle Wax after many years of trashing their products. Their new lineup is very good. Meguiars is hit or miss, but they do have some great stuff as well.

[@eyeh8u1]

Sprayway a "very cheap, basic glass cleaner" ?? Damn, I always thought it was one of the best on the market. When I worked as a Glazier way back when, that was our go to glass cleaner. Customers used to come to our shop just to buy a few cans.

[@hammertimee777]

I used to use Koch Chemie, Carpro and Adam’s car wash soap and bug removers. But I always go back to meguiar’s gold class soap and turtle wax bug and tar remover. In my conditions, I feel that turtle wax bug and tar remover has the best performance without compromising my coating. I also feel that Meguiars gold class soap has a lot more lubrication compared to carpro reset, Koch chemie GSF and Adam’s soap. They’re also very cheap and easily available, so I can use higher dilution. But on all other products such as pressure washer equipment, polishers and polishing compounds, I use the highest end stuff from obsessed garage. I only use consumer grade products for bug tar remover and car wash shampoo

[@joseespinoza2687]

I love Sprayway Glass Cleaner because it is ammonia-free, cleans really well (no streaks), and is widely available. In cooler climates, this might not matter, but where I live (in the desert), most glass cleaners dry almost instantly. For instance, the rag will touch the glass, and it is already dry at the point of contact because of how hot the glass is. This doesnt happen with sprayway so it has become my go to glass cleaner.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MarAgt]

Funny thing there is an old guy out there who bought an F150 new in 1984, parks it under a carport and cleans it every 2 weeks w/Turtle Wax & Armor All products. As well as changes his oil every 3k miles & uses a Fram or STP filter (whichever is on sale or in stock at the time). 😂 It’s probably 90% consistency and 10% the product. That being said, I’m always watching Pan’s videos and probably using the higher grade consumer stuff.

Pan, I'm already a follower of you & Phil. I'm just an avg senior who cares about his car & does it himself. I DO like & use the window cleaner.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching!

[@nomad509]

Most importantly, we all have to start somewhere! I would recommend everyone to get the basics first and then progress later simply to be able to put your money where your mouth is. The stuff I was using 20 years ago in my mind were the best of the best but nowadays I was very wrong. Of course technology has improved since but the experience along the way will solidify why more professional products are not only economical but very useful. If you want to ditch big box store products, I'd highly suggest jumping into the P&S product line! You won't be disappointed.

Hi Pan. Thanks for all you do as, judging by the comments, we all learn a lot from you. Id personally like to see an all-in-one video on removing different LSP's. From bsd, waxes, sealants, TW ceramic spray (an example, because i have it), to the newish ceramic-lites (carpro cquartz lite and in uk Infinity Wax Synergy lite, which id like to have a go at but have concerns removing the stuff) to full blown ceramics 1yr, 2yr, 9yr. How do we strip the lsp so we can start over? Do we have to dispose of stripping cloths and pads, after use, with ceramics or ceramic lites. Thanks in advance

Good day, Pan, I know most of your fans watch your channel for guidance. Your explanations are spot on.

Please keep up the great content and your fabulous explanations and techniques.

If you take leaf blower and blow off the water first then use your towels to touch up left over water. The coating I had put on my Audi A7 the water just sheet off with just very very water left on the car.

Agreed; not a fan of the glazed jelly donut look. I personally use VRP from Chemical Guys which gives it a matte but small amount of shine. Mind you, that's the only product I buy from Chemical Guys.

[@randybecker7339]

Thank you Pan for doing this comparison. Well, I mean thanks to Phil for doing the comparison. One "Consumer" grade shampoo I use regularly is Meguiars Gold Class shampoo. I can't imagine anything having any more lubrication than that but I've only tried two. Perhaps try comparing this to one of the professional ones you use. I can say it has far more lubrication than Adam's products. Anyway, great video.

Great video Pan. Thank you for having Miranda Detailing on. I would like to see more videos like this. I think we get caught up in the marketing of "pro" products that aren't necessarily that beneficial. This is just my 2 cents.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback! I have tons of videos on affordable products and tools and will make more in the future for sure. Technique is the most important, but for someone who details often, sometimes having those higher quality products and tools can allow you to be more efficient and/or deliver better results all while getting a better user experience. But for sure you can still find some gems at a lower budget.

[@JhawkerZ]

For sure technique is everything. You can spend a fortune and still not get the job done. I was really thinking about how the market is so saturated that it is hard to find what really works. That's why you are so important for the detailing community. I've learned so much and have mad respect for you. Thank you for doing what you do.

Found 1 spot I had missed during paint correction the size of a toothpick where a stain was not removed from the front bumper. It was sealed under the Cericote. Was able to remove the stain after removing the coating that had sealed over it. I can tell you the Cericote had bonded over it with an extreme hardness due to proper curing. Once I removed the coating the stain was easily removed.

Phil has a nice feature on his gun, to attach the nozzle tip, when he switches to the foam gun. What is that?

[@J1Z06]

Great idea, Pan. Phil and Jess are some of My favorite detailers to watch on KZbin. I like Spray Nine, Sprayway glass cleaner and a few other bits and pieces that they use in this video.(Grit guard, wheel woolies, mf towels). You can get the job done without breaking the bank in some aspects. Thanks for another great video, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Hi Pan, quick question, I need a cleaning shampoo after I soap canon the vehicle for my bucket. I don't want to strip the protectant. Just something with some cleaning capabilities. Thx for any help

[@rickmuir7616]

Just watch this video on Cheap vs Pro. I have some info I’d like to pass on. Two products in particular were the Spray 9 & the Armoral. Back I the sixty’s & 70’s everyone used these to clean & shine there dash and interior vinyl. Little did we know they had an chemical components that attacked the plasticizers, causing cracking. Also it left a slick feel to the surface. Case in point: My wife had her car detailed. They used Armoral on the floor mates. That quickly transferred from her shoes to the brake peddle… VERY DANGEROUS! I used Spray 9 on the vinyl boat covers. Got them clean but they too became very brittle. My go-to for all my vinyls has been the 3M Vinyl Cleaner & Conditioner.

[@RightChange1]

I used that glass cleaner when I drove a truck. All of the Drivers did and I still it today. I found that using a microfiber towel leaves lint, so I use paper towels.

[@seiph80]

Try as well a waffle weave towel, that's what I use and it's amazing on my glass

Hey, i just have a small question. My car has a "one year" wax based coating that my detailed used after polishing my car, but i want to apply tint ppf to my headlights and taillights, what is safe to use to make the surface good enough that the film will stick to the lights? Thanks if anyone knows!😊😊

[@bou7990]

In the UK ordering the pro grade shampoos, sealants, decontaminants is actually cheaper. What isn’t cheaper is the cloths, drying towels etc.

[@splendidcyborg]

I was wondering the exact same thing. Did you ever find out?

[@Cydney1066]

I used to be a deatiling fanatic thats why I have been following you for a long time. However I no longer have my garage with tiled floors nice lighting etc. Having to use a car wash almost brings me to tears. Could you and your subscribers suggest what type of commercial wash is the least damaging or what other choices there are. Presently I get my car detailed twice a year.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Oh that’s sad to hear! I would be a nervous wreck if I couldn’t detail my car in my garage!

[@vancity2349]

Enjoyed this one Pan. Very interesting and for the weekend warriors who wash there cars regularly the publicly available products are ok because most of us not trying to make them look like pros like you do. The Spray 9 was interesting I have not used it before but am thinking of trying it. Have you covered this product before? If you have I probably missed it. If not maybe you can do a vid on as it can be used on many applications including the interior if diluted properly of course. Would also like to know how much impact to the the protection it does etc. Thanks!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven’t done a video on Spray 9. But Phil mainly uses it as part of the pre-wash before a full detail and ceramic coating job if memory serves me well. Not for regular weekly washes as that could potentially degrade the protection over multiple regular uses.

[@yasirisfernandez1802]

Thanks for sharing! ❔Quick question, please: Just bought a 2014 Ford F150 and was doing my first interior cleaning. Not sure what was used previously to clean the airbag area of the steering wheel, but I went to clean with APS and it feels sticky. There’s also black residue coming off onto the microfiber towel (the interior is black/gray). I went ahead and wiped with some interior detailing spray after the APS, but that area is still sticky. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you! 🛻

[@PanTheOrganizer]

What is APS? Did you mean APC (all purpose cleaner)? You have to be careful and not use too harsh chemicals on the interior. Sometimes APCs if not diluted properly could do some harm. I prefer interior cleaners made for that task. See my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKuamWB-m7iXiMksi=rYFVOBbk6IkAj6Gi

[@yasirisfernandez1802]

@@PanTheOrganizer Sorry, yes. All purpose cleaner. It was sticky before I cleaned so I thought it might be some old product that was lingering on the surface. But I may have made it worse. Will take a look back at your videos. If you have any other suggestions I’d appreciate it. Thanks for all you do!! 🙏🏼

[@DragonBuilds]

I generally go with the higher end consumer grade products as they are cheaper than pro grade products but perform far better than Turtle Wax and similar inexpensive options. I am generally a big fan of Sonax and Adam's brand products.

[@audieconrad8995]

Pan & Phil, terrific vid for the budget conscious and quick driveway detailing. I suspect that much of detailing purchasing is done on a run to the brick & mortar on a Saturday morning. Some of the products are meh...and some are really good. Speaking of which; the TW Wax & Dry is stupid good for $6-7 USD. Oooof...that tire wheel brush Phil used - ok on the tires but it scared me watching him use it on his nice wheels! Yikes! Lol... As usual - good vid! Shine on you crazy diamonds!

Hehe yeah of you know which products to get in big bix stores, some can be quite good indeed. But yeah the cheap tools are another story though. Not good most the time haha.

With so many products these days I find these videos very helpful. Though I was curious, can you glaze on top of a sealant/graphene coating? I'm not sure I trust my self to jump into polishing quite yet.

[@Alex_Muravko]

What is the name of the chemical compound for removing the blood and mosquitoes?

[@AngelFlores-f8v]

hey pan, quick question. Can I clay bar using synthetic clay on a ceramic spray or will it diminish the protectant?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You’d have to test. It’s impossible to know for every product combination. Worse comes to worse, if you see it affected the protection, as it’s a simple easy spray, just reapply.

[@HassanALi-17]

Hello Pan, Quick question for you regarding freshly painted car. I have seen people will wet sand the car and leave it in outside for 24 hrs then they will do the polishing process. Is this process right to do?
