I thought you were going to ceramic coat it!!😂😂

[@PanTheOrganizer]

LOL !! I should !!

[@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails]

@@PanTheOrganizeryea u should!

[@brandonmoise]

I just recently did this on my shop's drain pan. It's gigantic. I had to put a ladder inside of it to get up and down to the bottom. It was filled to the top before I decided to drain it, I had no idea it was that deep. I dunno if this is something you'd be willing to do, but I'd love to see an "odd tools" video. Things like window cleaning wands, pressure washer accessories, and the occasional one off tool to make the detailing life easier!

[@freddrune8315]

Great video sir. Another reason I like your videos, you cover more than just car products.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I appreciate that! I have many different interests and hobbies so I like to share them with my viewers, as I know we share many common passions. And taking care of my house is very important to me.

[@neilwalker5041]

I use to be a baker manager for a grocery store called Publix. I cleaned the drains daily ab’s we put a foaming cleaner down the drains daily. This kept the pipes clean and kept the bugs out. Great tips Pan.

[@afrank1462]

Getting strong Aykroyd vibes. Thanks for the channel! Good stuff!

[@davestewart9146]

I’m so jealous, I wish my garage had a drain, thanks Pan 👍😁

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah, it’s super handy! Thankfully here in Montreal where I live, it's part of the build code to have at least one in a garage, as we have intense winters here in Canada. I paid an extra when our house was being built to have a second one added too. One for each vehicle basically.

[@MarcYanOfficial]

@@PanTheOrganizer can't do that on the WC unfortunately. Only one outside of the garage door if anything. But that also means water will reach the sides of the garage door. The metal pieces may rust over time if that's the case.

Very informative, now I just need to get a drain in my garage :)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thankfully where I live in Canada, with the crazy winters, having at least one drain in the garage is part of the build code with all that melting snow and ice. Water has to go somewhere. Thanks for watching!

[@stephenthompson1562]

Great video Pan! I was doing a search, but I can’t seem to find it. Did you ever do a video on how to get rid of cigarette smoke smell in a car?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven’t

[@Greg_the_detailer]

It may be possible but probably hard to get rid of the smell. Start by cleaning absolutely everything, even the headliner, then use an ozone generator. I never tried because I am not interested of doing this kind of service but yeah it may be a good start 🙂

[@stephenthompson1562]

Sounds good. I do have the ozone machine running and I am gonna do a deep thorough cleaning and leave the windows open for a while. I think it eventually will disappear.

[@Greg_the_detailer]

@@stephenthompson1562 yeah, as long a you clean and disinfect everything first it should work.

Hi Pan, just wondering which of the Marolex sprayer models would be the best for applying BH touchless prewash?

[@CTR_1986]

Marolex industry ergo alka

[@Saaph-yf2gc]

hey Pan! my girlfriend got a white car and never removed the iron on the paint, i washed it used iron remover and clayed it, but there still some rusted grain, is there anything i can do to fix it?

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Grazie, Pan!! ?: re old detailing chemicals. I have a few gallons of various Adam’s chemical that are over five years old that I haven’t used. What’s your recommendation on use or disposal of these aged chemical products? I imagine they have a useful shelf life. I believe one is a carpet & upholstery cleaner and the other an all purpose degreaser. Thanks for all your content!

[@fodi898]

Hey Pan, is there a way to purchase the Eley sprayer nozzle you are using in Canada? Thanks!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I was lucky enough to have been able to order this years ago in my previous home when Eley were still shipping to Canada. It seems they stopped offering shipping options to Canada a few years ago. :( Your best bet would be to order from the US and have it shipped to a forwarding facility somewhere in the USA near the border, and go pick it up yourself, and pay import fees and taxes yourself.

[@fodi898]

@@PanTheOrganizer Lucky indeed! Appreciate the reply and yes will probably do something like that as I have seen reviews on them and how they operate and seem to be worth it.

[@homme258]

Je ne connais pas de monde qui nettoie leur drain et pourtant très important, moi je nettoie 2 fois par année , printemps et automne. Très bonne idée pour ce vidéo 👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

En effet, tu as raison! C'est hyper important d'en faire l'entretien et la plupart des gens ne le savent pas, alors je trouvais ça important de partager cette vidéo afin de partager le fait qu'il faut en faire l'entretien annuellement au minimum. Deux fois l'an comme tu fais c'est encore mieux!

[@mikezz751]

how did you install that garage pit and does it drain. wondering what goes into that if i were to plan on installing one for detailing car purposes?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have two drains in my garage, one for each car. They go to the sewers. Part of the build code here in Montreal, so we had them when we bought our new house.

[@Jsparrvik98]

Do you not want to use a wet filter in the vac for this? Might affect the motor no

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A wet n dry vacuuming is perfectly suited for sucking up liquids. Usually you just remove the air filter when it comes to liquids. Just follow the instructions of the shop vac you are using.

[@Jsparrvik98]

@@PanTheOrganizer "A wet filter, also known as a foam sleeve, protects the motor of your shop vac from water-borne debris". Ridgid sells wet filters for the vac. Just don't want any mud getting into an exposed motor

[@Zyler-i9e]

Great video pan i'm jealous of your setup !. I just watched your 2023 awards video. When will the 2024 awards video come out?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Here's an official tour of my garage should you want to get all the details about how it was built and designed with car detailing in mind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ramZeYd4dt-Yjqssi=rYU2Vq3u5JIli1XI The 2024 awards video was removed. After reading the feedback in the comments, there were a lot of people that were saying that I should not have included my line of products and the ones from Detail Co in the awards, as they are new to the market and not tested by the public yet. When it was time to start prepping for the awards video, I asked myself the question: “Should I include my own products or not?” And I had decided to include them, because in my heart of hearts I knew how good they were since I had spent so much time on R&D and testing. I had also been able to test a few Detail Co products ahead of launch to share my feedback with the owners, and I really enjoyed them. Hence why they were also included. As people now started receiving their orders and started testing, independent reviews are popping up and show that my products perform to a very high level. I’ll let the products speak for themselves. I want to thank everyone for their continued support of the CLEAN By Pan The Organizer launch of car care products!

Hello Pan, I was going to recommend a garage winterization video, this is pretty close. 😂 I know you are temp controlled but what are some things you could recommend to those of us that don’t have temp controlled environments in the north? I always look forward to your videos!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Karl! If you don’t have a heated garage and it has a chance of freezing, I would bring all my chemicals in the house to keep them above 50F (10C). Don’t let chemicals freeze.

[@karlf2378]

@@PanTheOrganizer yeah, I already keep all those inside. I guess I’m reaching for ideas.. drain your hoses, purge your pressure washer, etc. just thinking of things that might be helpful to the community.

If you put a garden hose in there overnight, the water will become clean and most junk will be washed away. Good to do mid year

so is this just a method of draining that auto filters large waste? seems like it could really stink up after not very long with all that standing water.

[@AutodeltaQuadra]

[@cgraham6]

I’ve always thought those were sewer drains in the garage. Still, a drain pit is better than nothing, which I suspect is what most of us have.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Well my two pits are connected to sewers, but maybe some only have pits with nowhere for the water to go? What would be the proper term for drains like mine that connect to the sewers?

[@cgraham6]

@@PanTheOrganizer I don't know what they would be called. I guess that's why you have to fill it with water, because of the sewer drain. Funny that just last week Mitch from TheDetailGeek showed his drain pit being cleaned out. His is apparently connected as well, since he filled it with water too.

A little disappointed PAN, you did not ceramic coat it :( Joking aside, if you have not cleaned in a very longtime I suggest hiring a professional co. they will come and suck up all the goop with an industrial suction(truck) + please wear a mask as the stench can be quite overwhelming.
