@@gohawksboom Dilution ratios depend on many factors, including: 1) type of pressure washer 2) type of of foam cannon 3) type of snow foam 4) dilution ratio of snow foam 5) hard water vs soft water (the cleaner the water, the more foam and suds you get) So there are many variables. My recommendations is to first start by following the directions on the bottle of the snow foam you have. And go from there adjusting the quantity of snow foam you use to have more or less foam. I typically use 2 oz of snow foam in 16 oz of water for a total solution of 18 oz (that's a 8:1 dilution ratio). But I have the best pressure washer with high water output of 2.1 gpm, the best foam cannon, awesome snow foams, and a water softener system for clean water. So my conditions are always ideal. You have to adjust the dilutions according to your setup. Play around with the quantities, no bad can come out of this.

Thanks Pan, this is a great topic. I took delivery of a new SUV in September. At that time I knew practically nothing about detailing, and have since used the new vehicle to learn about and become passionate as a detailing enthusiast. I wish I would have watched this video before my purchase, but honestly was so naive and focused on car purchasing research that detailing considerations didn’t even occur to me. Even though after taking delivery I found a minor paint chip on the hood (still need to fix) and glass crack (since fixed for free by insurance), I would still have taken delivery as is because the price was so good. But I would have not had any unpleasant surprises. Thanks for the great suggestions and overview of the new car detailing process.

Thanks Tom. What new SUV did you purchase? Congrats!

[@tom_schroeder]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for asking! I scored a great price on a new 2020 Subaru Ascent (top of the line Touring trim). Bought it in September 2020 when all the Labor Day sales were on and there was incentive for dealers to move inventory, even though the 2021 models were not yet available. I bought a DA polisher and paint thickness gauge, and am planning on doing a light polishing and ceramic coating. Kind of a big deal, since I am not a pro, but have learned a lot of techniques from you and others. Perhaps I will start with my wife’s 3 year old daily driver, a Toyota Prius Prime, whose paint needs attention much more than the new vehicle does.

You hit the nail on the head when you talk about people not understanding that it’s not just about washing a car! A lot of people don’t understand how much work goes into a detail, from washing correctly, decon stages prepping the paintwork for machine polishing. Then protection and cost of chemicals, water and electricity! I get so many potential clients wanting heaven and earth but then don’t want to pay for it! So frustrating

[@PanTheOrganizer]

There you go! I fully agree with you!! 100%

[@c.c.5472]

Hey Pan, thanks for the great tips. I will be picking up my new RAV4 Prime in a few months and I will follow your advice with the dealership. I will be having PPF installed on the front end almost immediately, but I will do the rest of the prep including coating with Quartz on my own. Will be my first time using this type of product, so somewhat confident but a little apprehensive as well. I plan to do the prep and quartz coating first, of course avoiding the front-end with the quartz step. One question, do you wash or at least rinse the vehicle between the ISA and Quartz steps. Cheers!

[@evilash1970]

I work at a dealership, I agree with mostly everything you said. Some dealers do a very good prep for protection. I use my own products on some of your new cars because I care about the customers and their car. I buy products suggested by you and other youtube detail guy's. Customers should ask to see the prep work or products if the dealer will let you, at least you know what you're paying for. Thanks for this video Pan

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. 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

Lots of good information in this video. Three months ago, I bought a brand new Audi RS6 Avant. There was a slight delay in arranging the financials, so it never left the showroom floor. I specifically told them, do NOT wash the car. When I did pick up the car, it was still on the showroom floor, and seeing a little bit of dust on it, I felt that had honored my wishes about not washing the car. Less than 24 hours of driving off the lot, it was already at my favorite detailer getting paint correction, PPF in high impact areas, Gtechniq ceramic coating, and windows tinted. It was hard to surrender that car for a week, but it was well worth it. By the way, my detailer (Billy Aylward at Presidential Detailing) just won the Gtechniq Summit award.

I just bought a new 22 Hyundai Elantra Limited and I'm determined to keep as "like new" as possible inside and out. This is definitely my go to channel and Pan is my guru in this quest but honestly I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed. There are so many products and so many steps of me awesome to have a like a bullet point breakdown or a video to simply all the steps and products. Nothing worthwhile is easy though I guess.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Correct. It’s hard work to get a car to perfection, but once you understand the basics, it’s not complicated. But the fun thing about detailing is you enjoy the process as it’s a soothing experience.

[@nadodgeskn]

Having worked at multiple dealerships and currently work at a dealership in detailing, and basic upkeep. It really depends. Products, time allowed, customer request, salesman pressure, the car itself(condition, quality of carpet paint ect, is it going to get tinted or other outside work). All cars fresh off transport get a rinse, foam, wash, and adhesive treatment. From that it all depends on the customer we can't wash a car that just got ceramic coated for usually 2 days, can't do windows for 3 days if they were tinted, if the salesman is having the customer pick up the car within minutes of it leaving the shop we have to weigh priorities for delivery which typically is shine, request and accessories.

Great advice, purchased a new BMW 8 series Gran Coupe, delivered with swirl marks and glue residue from BMW. Spent 5 hours decontaminating, preparing and coating with 303 Graphene nano spray, well worth the effort to start off with a new car properly protected for the UK winter weather. Great product but not sure I can clean the microfibre applicator, could be a one-use only applicator.

[@joedavis6377]

Mr. Pan, verification on something you said about freshly re painted cars. The timing of this is perfect as I just had my truck painted. 2 months wash and wax pause. My painter did say no wax for 2 months, but they washed it before I picked it up. Is washing ok? I will use a good quality soap and the 2 bucket wash for sure, and do my regular foam cannon pre wash first for sure. Not doubting you, just making sure.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I would avoid any chemicals on the paint for those 2 months. One wash is not going to kill it, but don't do anything else until then.

[@fedcordesign]

Taking delivery of a new 2022 Mazda 3 Turbo Premium Plus in the Soul Red Crystal at the end of the month (March). As per the video, I was going to request they simply wash the car with fresh water, using a Ph balanced shampoo... but after reading the comments, seems like I'm better off not having them wash it at all. The sales rep said they didn't know their wash technique, but would be happy to leave the protective film on the car for me to remove. This seems like a better option. I was going to remove all the film myself at the dealership so as to properly inspect the car before taking delivery. I know there will be some adhesive left from the film, but that can be washed off with bug and tar remover I assume (need to investigate that a bit more). And tips and advice are appreciated. Thanks! Absolutely love your videos and helpful detailing advice!!!

Greetings from northeastern Ohio in the United States. I really enjoy your channel, Pan, and I appreciate all the time you take to share your knowledge and experience. I have a question that I hope you can answer, and maybe you could do a video for those of us who live effected areas. How should we clean and protect our vehicles from the smoke from the Canadian wildfires? Does the smoke have a different impact on a vehicle's finish as opposed to other environmental factors?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback! What new car did you buy?

[@budiwibowo4326]

Im newbie here trying to follow and diy a new car. Why would you do a one step polish and then wipe it down using the paint prep solution? I understand Pan mentioned the 1 step polish is to fill in the gaps to add glossier look, but isnt wiping it with paint prep canceling the polish out?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The one step polish doesn't fill in the gaps (unless you are using a glaze with fillers, but that's just masking the scratches, not removing them). A polish will level the surface, and remove fine swirls and scratches (you start with a compound if you have heavy scratches and swirls, then finish with a polish). Then you use an IPA solution or paint prep to remove polishing oils and residue. The reason you do that, is to ensure proper bonding of the protection with the clear coat. This isn't as crucial if you're applying a regular wax or paint sealant after the polishing step. But it's ABSOLUTELY necessary before applying a ceramic coating or graphene coating, as coatings need to bond directly to virgin clear coat without interference from polishing oils. A true polish is a light abrasive. All it does is perfect the paint. Nothing more. And it leaves behind some light oils (lubrication from the polishing step) and residue. Hence why you remove that. You should watch one of my view car prep videos to see the steps and understand the process. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qputgZaaeLqUgZo

Another great clip Pan, i'm really amazed about your attention to details, and another thing is your'e one of the few youtube channels that connect with the audience (hey DIY detail, your very cool too!), the problem is i bought a brand new BMW G42 in Portimao Blue about a month ago, already seen a few micro scratches made by the dealer (really minor but still) on my back bumper but it's heavy winter here, i've got a heated garage but no space to do a full decon, i know u can do it with some help of the touchless wash but i don't like them, so my way is to last through winter with rinsless washes and some spray on sealant (again, hi there DIY detail, love your products!) and then in spring do a full decon and maybe a one step hand polish (i don't have the experience for a machine polisher just now) and a ceramic coat, the paint looks great tough but i'm sure there is some contamination form the transport (by ship), do you think it's a good plan? Btw Gyeon has some nice products (Prep is da boss) have you used CanCoat Evo maybe? ! Cheers again and thank you!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the kind words and support! I appreciate it. I try to be close to my audience and accessible by responding to all KZbin comments every day. I take pride in that, as no other big detailing channel does that. It takes me up to 4 hours daily just to reply to comments, so I won't lie it can get overwhelming as you can imagine with almost 1 million subscribers sending me thousands of messages daily, but I try my best to stay connected with you guys, and I know it's much appreciated by my viewers. Also, I want to congratulate you on your new 2 series Beemer! And that color looks amazing!! Good choice. It's always a great day when we take delivery of a new car, am I right?? :) 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 for my customers: Mercedes S 580: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKLCpZmZrNesjKssi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Aston Martin Vantage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzKkmavj7uHp9E Volvo XC60: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqenc3Wbo82MfKM Tesla Model Y: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naDLnKZurbVohLs Porsche 911 Carrera: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTOmpysl6ukqZY Audi Q7: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmirdHWJi9OcsK8

Thank you Pan, the car is amazing, I love it! About the advice, I just bought Geyon cancoat and a looot of other stuff high quality for a good detailing, but waiting for good weather, I think rinsless wash is the best way to go for now as its below zero C in my country (cheers from Poland), then I'll do a decon and as I said I'm not good with a machine polish so doing a hand one is next best I think!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The new CanCoat EVO is so good! It should get you 9-12 months of protection if you apply it well and do proper maintenance.

I only last week subscribed to Pan's channel. Little did I know the preparation it takes to add a ceramic coating and everything it involves. I'm 63 and last November had my 3rd spinal fusion in my lower back. It was my 8th back surgery. Needless to say, DIY is out of the question and I'm a disabled vet on a very tight budget. There are some mobile detailers in the area, but it's hard to tell if they offer ceramic coating based on their website. I'm just trying to get it done right within my budget. Pan has some very great videos and sounds like the type to have a beer with.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the positive feedback Joel! I hope your surgery went well and that you’re recovering. And since you subscribed to my channel, let me officially welcome you to the Pan The Organizer family!

[@karlhulme8014]

Joel, my guess would be if they’re not advertising ceramic coating they probably don’t do it. Why would they NOT advertise something they will likely charge plenty for? You should also ask yourself, do you NEED a ceramic coating. If you’re unable to thoroughly clean the whole vehicle yourself then you’ll likely be taking it to a detailer for this at least a couple of times a year so consider getting either a good quality sealant or wax every 4 to 6 months and you should get good protection anyway. Take a look at Pan’s videos on turtle wax recent ceramic or graphene systems, any detailer will be able to do these for you, and it would be better than being the detailer’s “ guinea pig” for a complete ceramic coat plus you’ll save $$$ ! Best of luck with whatever you decide, if I lived in the same country I’d give you a hand. Hope this helps.
