Pan thanks for giving DIY guys like me the information to work on our cars. I am going to coat 3 vehicles with AvalonKing but I hear the boot spray is difficult what other boost sprays would you recommend to pair with that coating

[@PanTheOrganizer]

@@williammcconico7699 No need to apply three coats. 2 layers is all you need. I didn't have issues with the SiO2 Boost Spray. If you work in proper conditions and don't overapply it should be fine. But you are free to use which ever ceramic topper you want. Check out my 2021 car detailing products awards for my top picks.

[@eru6ite]

This is absolutely fantastic content. One of the things which has stopped me from applying ceramic coating is that I was always worried about what happens at the end of the coating's life. I thought that it was time-consuming (if not expensive) to remove the previous coat. But then you covered this topic in your video and I really appreciate that you did that. Thanks so much! 🍻

Great video Pan! I just posted my 1yr update video of the Armor Shield IX ceramic coating. The coating is still looking pretty good. The lower portions may be clogged like you mentioned. I'll have to try a decon wash the next time. Very easy to use coating that's for sure 👍.

[@kenmartin756]

This might have been a good time to mention discarding of towels used when leveling the coating.

[@jaycurtis7093]

What a waste. Don't do this.

[@Wishes890]

I don't discard any of the towels. They get put into a bucket of water with detergent mixed in. I soak them for the day and wash as usual. If I am concerned with any of those towels, they become cleaning rags, but that's rare.

[@Wishes890]

[@cynthiaenglish2736]

I always learn something from each of your videos, and usually several things. I always thought water beading was more desirable than sheeting. Now I understand why water sheeting is also important. Very important when one lives in a hard water area or access to deionized water is limited. Thank you Pan!

Awesome content as always Pan...perfect timing for what I'm planning to do adding ceramic coating on top of my paint protection film. I've got Suntek's Reaction PPF all around and since it has a hydrophobic top layer built in, do you recommend any additional steps I should do for prepping to apply Armor Shield IX on top for the ultimate protection?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I will always recommend a ceramic coating on top of PPF.

[@sashap8658]

Geat video as always Pan! Really enjoy your stuff. I Used the Avalon King ceramic coating and was really disappointed. I put 2 coats on properly prepared paint and lasted maybe a year if that on my garage kept car. I chemically decontaminated, clayed and one-steped the paint to prep before I rewashed and wiped clean with alcohol. Put 2 coats of @avalonkings ceramic on the paint in 15°C+ in my garage with few hours cure time in between. Yes, it had a nice gloss on the paint and plastics. I took it a step further and added 2 coats of turtle wax HS ceramic spray coat as a topper. Let sit for a week in my garage and didn't get wet. I wash my car 2 times a week properly with ph-neutral soap using safe washing/drying techniques. The coating lasted about a year or so. Have to say I had such high hopes for this product, but really let down. In 20+ years of detailing professionally and my own cars, I have never been so exited about a product and let down so much. Yes, it was cheap and I got it on sale, but I guess you get what you pay for. This spring I'll do it all over most likely with CarPro as I really like thier products or just stick to wet coat and toppers. I had Ceramic Pro professionally installed on my summer car and it is a whole other world. It's not cheap, but soooo worth it. 2 years and it's still like the day I got it coated.

[@davidly7745]

Hi Sasha. This is disappointing to hear. I was so close to give it a try. Thanks for the update.

Pan, this could be your best video. So much great information. I'm going to watch it again. I've bought the AS9 coating but I can't pull the trigger. I've been waxing my cars since 1963, so I'm not new to the process. I just can't get the "guts" up to try ceramic. All I can vision is a bunch of 'high sports', and disappointment.

[@pauladams7180]

Awesome video Pan. It’s always a good idea to watch videos like these to keep a guy on top of his game. I don’t know if I missed it or not in the video but I was wondering, is it ok to touch up some areas if needed with a polisher or is that to aggressive on the Ceramic Coating? I’m talking about Booboo’s since the coating was applied. Thanks again 👊🏻👊🏻.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You don’t polish coatings as the abrasives will remove the coatings. But there is one polish specifically designed to remove very light defects on ceramic coated cars: CarPro Essence+ (not the regular Essence).

[@pauladams7180]

[@junhomoon783]

Thank you, Pan, for delivering great product reviews. I plan to purchase many cleaning/coating supplies, but before doing that, I want to ask if any of the products you've shared in your many reviews have expiry dates. (snow foam, shampoo, decontamination, polish, coating, detailing, dressing, leather care, etc..)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Typically, all car care products have a shelf life of 1-2 years. More on that in Wednesday’s upcoming video.

[@GLoo-dm9nw]

Love your helpful, informative videos from sunny Hawaii! I purchased Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic kit that I intend to use on a brand new car. As you've advised in your videos, I told the dealer to not coat with any wax or sealant, just wash and polish. The dealer did a great job with paint correction...no swirl marks. I'll decontaminate with iron remover, and even clay bar it...Can I skip the polish step, and go into application of the Adams? Secondly, I have a Tacoma Truck that I've applied Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Love it! It beads and sheets water for months, even parked in the sun. I'm planning to use my leftover Adams Advanced Graphene on it, but what do I need to do to insure the Meguiar's Hybrid is removed? Thanks in advance for your reply. Keep up the great work!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If your paint doesn't need claying, skip claying. If you clay, it can do a bit of marring on the surface. So inspect your paint after claying. If it needs a light polish, go ahead. If it looks perfect, you can skip polishing. But if you don't do any machine polishing, you have to be 100% sure there was no paint protection applied by the dealership. They usually always apply a cheap wax prior to delivery. If water beads on your paint, it means there's some for of protection on it. If there is no beading, and the water is very slow to sheet off, then it means there is no protection. For your Tacoma, the only way to ensure 100% removal of any previous protection is to go through all the paint prep steps, including machine polishing which is the only way to guarantee 100% removal.

Pan what are different coatings that work together when layered? Thanks for the great videos and tutorials!

That would be an impossible question to answer as it would mean testing layering different coatings. Why would you want to do that? As you can’t guarantee chemical compatibility, I wouldn’t recommend that.

With summer car shows around the corner have you ever given any thought to maybe putting together a video on PAN's suggestions on what detail products to take with you to shows?? Just a thought.. Thank you and keep up the good work!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes I have thought of that video and will probably make one in the future. ;)

[@skyhawks4ever]

Cheers Pan. I love your videos and I have learned a ton about detailing cars from watching. I have to admit though I’m really frustrated because I am new to detailing. I don’t have any detailing products whatsoever. My Amazon shopping cart is already over $450 and I still haven’t added the pressure washer. I want to do a ceramic coating but by the time I get all the equipment I need I’m probably going to be pretty close to the $1000 mark! I realize that I will be able to use most of the equipment and products to maintain the car in the future. I was forced into buying a brand new vehicle when someone totaled my trusty old truck . I haven’t had a brand new car in 20 years. I want to do this ceramic coating and it seems like it’s easy enough but like you said in your videos, the prep is the hardest part of it. I don’t have a lot of experience in using power tools to polish paint, so I’m wondering if I can skip that step for a new car? I’m pretty confident that I can do everything else like the shampoo, Clay bar treatment , the IPA cleansing, but if I have to add the paint polishing step using the pads and mechanical polishers, that’s where I start to get out of my comfort zone. I have spent many hours watching your videos and I really appreciate the time you take to show the world how to do it right.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself when starting to buy stuff. There are things you can buy later as you gain experience and see if you enjoy detailing.

Hey Pan great video with great information,as I was watching your video a question came up I'm a big fan of the turtle wax graphene max and I use it on both of my cars because the great ease of application and curing times there's no worries on temperatures or not able to drive on the elements right away but my question was about maintenance wash with it can I use turtle wax ceramic wash or should I use t.w slick and slide pure wash and thanks again for videos

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can use both shampoos. If you want to boost protection once in a while, you can use the Ceramic Wash n Wax. If you just want a pure shampoo with no protection (so you can add your own protection after you are done washing the car) then you can use Slick n Slide.

Question number 21, I have a minor scratch on my car that has OP ceramic. If I use something like Chemical Guys VSS, will that remove the ceramic coating?

[@mr2cqql]

Hi, Have you try any of the soft99 Japanese coatings? there consumer line have H7 glass coat, and H9 dual layer glass coat which is available in USA soft99 store, and also there higher end professional G'zox Real glass coat? At least they are the first one that does full package ceramic coatings as far as I know before any other brands you mention.

[@79blustone]

When my new car gets delivered, I'm getting my local Pro to PPF the most impacted areas, I'm thinking of buying Gyeon Mohs Syncro kit- My question is, Can I use Mohs over an Xpel PPF? I know they (Gyeon) do a PPF ceramic kit but I'd rather use one kit for the lot. Lastly, can I use Mohs on plastics and Vinyl? 🙏. Plus, Pan, you are the most decent human being in existence! You are a very likeable person and love watching your video as you really get everything out of the products you use, that information is well projected to us the viewers 👍

[@Mark-mt7wt]

Thanks so much for putting together this video! I've learned so much about car detailing from following your content. I had one question. Can ceramic coatings be applied to powder coated wheels?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Mark! It depends on what coating you are buying. You would need to ask the brand. Usually, coatings are meant to be applied on clear coated surfaces. Unless they are coatings formulated for glass, plastic trim, etc. How did you discover my channel by the way?

[@Mark-mt7wt]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for the reply! I was interested in using Avalon King’s Ceramic Coating. I discovered your channel a couple of years ago when I did a quick KZbin search for Audi RS3 car detail. Your video of you doing a white RS3 detail popped up! It helped me significantly elevate my techniques for cleaning my RS3. Since then, I’ve been following your content and have grown a passion for car detailing!

[@argentik973]

Hello Pan thank you for the detailed content that you put every time; can ceramic coating can be applied on satin painted car without changing the look of the paint ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You mean matte paint? There are coatings for that like Gyeon Matte.

[@Antimatter.]

Hi Pan thanks for sharing !! You definitely changed my mind , I’m gonna grab a couple bottles , Can you tell me what pads polishes you use to cut and polish BMW paint successfully? I find it to be very hard , much appreciated!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It depends on the levels of defects. But often 3D One and Buff and Shine Uro Fiber pads for cutting and Sonax Perfect Finish with Rupes yellow foam pad for polishing. Watch my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHunp4R4qJapn68

I'm a CSL fan. I have two boxes of Armor Shield 9 that I've never used, lol. I'll probably try it out on our '99 Odyssey in a few weeks. Have a good weekend

[@jcoggs2894]

Great stuff as always Pan! I recently polished and coated my car but unfortunately my garage has very poor lighting so once I got it out in the sun, I saw all the scratches and swirls I missed. Would I be able to just decontaminate, polish then recoat? Or would I have to do a strip wash, decon, polish and recoat? Thanks for all the help!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Polishing is what will remove the coating.

[@raulcarrillo2537]

Hey Pan! You should make a video on dilution ratios and how to properly dilute chemicals. Im starting my on detailing business and I find diluting to be a little tricky.

[@micheleluimitra6567]

Thank you so much for this informative video Pan. Really great video. Is it ok if I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Wash and Wax shampoo on my ceramic coated car? Or even the entire ceramic line up? I would really appreciate your response or feedback on this.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes. You could use the Ceramic Wash n Wax to wash. Or Ceramic Wet Wax as a drying aid. Flex Wax once every 3-4 months to boost protection.

[@brentdonnelly4583]

Another great video Pan… Thanks. I applied Roar ceramic coating and its topper after watching your video last year on my brand-new 718 Spyder. The car has been stored for the winter here in Canada, I will be getting it out soon. I have a leftover Car Pro Gliss from doing my Porsche Macan with UK 3.0. Can I apply that on top of the Roar product?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Do not apply any other coating on top of the Roar system! It’s not needed. It’s one of the best coatings money can buy. Just use a drying aid when you’re washing the car and that’s about all you’ll need.

[@kal3560]

Could you review nexgen cream coatings? It’s a spray but I rlly wanna see what you think about them. I have one they aren’t bad but don’t have much other products to compare them too. Love your vids 💙 keep doing what ur doing

Hey Pan... Love your channel. I'm obsessed with detailing my truck and subaru. Question... I bought ADAM'S Graphene Ceramic Coating. I'm a first timer here for ceramic coating. Should I first purchase the Avolone king to do first or will the Adam's apply as easily? Thanks for all the information you supply!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Adam’s will be just fine. Not as easy to apply as the AvalonKing, but not hard.

[@JORGELOPEZ-ik4fg]

Great videos

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jorge!

[@hobbyavenue6740]

Great video Pan. New to ceramic coating about to order my first bottle. A question I have for you is how many vehicles do you normally get out of a bottle ? Cheers

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That depends on the size of the vehicles and how many layers you want to apply and if you also want to appy on glass, wheels, headlights and plastics… AvalonKing have a tool on their website to help you calculate how many bottles they recommend.

[@blh3741]

I've been very happy with many of the products you mention here, IE: 303 graphene spray. Love this stuff on my 2006 Ram work truck(that I'm selling) So...I'm half done on the prep to eventually apply the Adam's Graphene coating on DW's white 2008 Ford Escape as a practice run before doing my new 2023 Ford Maverick PU. Practice makes perfect, right? Also, I have done my share of various auto detailer channels and their recommended products that makes my head spin. So, I have finally decided to just stuck to one Channel, yours! Thanks for everything! -Brian

I love that you are so thorough Pan and that’s why I trust myself to do this because YOU trust me. I have almost all of the supplies except the IPA because Avalon King is out of stock. Time is of the essence because today is 8 weeks since I bought my 2022 car. I know you said we should stick with all products in that brand we choose but do you think I could buy, say, Gtecniq brand of IPA?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the kind words. You can use IPA sprays from other brands no problem. Gtechniq Panel Wipe, CarPro Eraser, Gyeon Prep, all good picks.

[@brythanaustin]

I would really for a comparison on a diy coating vs a professional grade coating and what makes them different

[@danlc95]

The professional coatings harden up faster, so there is usually a lot of rubbing and buffing off potential streaks, smears, and high spots. I absolutely hate applying them. Ceramic Pro, Xpel, etc. But the results are pretty nice. Optimum Gloss Coat is my favorite. I can somewhat use CarPro Cquartz coatings successfully. If I ever offer a pro coating for my business, it will be Optimum Opti Ciat Pro.

[@dmitriyx.5278]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, always a pleasure to watch and listen. Always very informative. There is a question: IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE CLAY ON A CAR COATED CERAMIC? The car is relatively well-groomed, washed 2-phase with detailers. But the ceramics were external for 1 year ago (in 2 layers), and i see coating is a little tired, but there are still some properties left. In a good lighting, impurities are visible in the form of inclusions that are not captured by irons-of, tar-removers, quick detailers ... I started using carpro reset and CARPro DEscale (once) - it got better, but everything does not disappear. Color black solid, all defects remain visible. I want to try walking with soft clay, for example, Gyeon Mild or the corresponding one, but I don’t want to polish it yet and Ceramic coating again in the near future. Do you or your subscribers have experience, walk soft clay on ceramic coating so as not to demolish the coating. I will be grateful for the answer

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You wouldn't use a claybar on a ceramic coated car, as a claybar is an abrasive and you could potentially damage the coating. We use chemical decontamination on coatings, with different pH levels of shampoos (see my spring refresh tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYXEd3iVpZeCd9k), and iron removers to remove brake dust and iron particles embedded in the coating/paintwork. Some have used a clay towel with a good lubricant (as those generate less marring compared to traditional claybars) but do that at your own risk.

Hi, I am new to your channel, absolutely amazing. I have a question, can I use turtle wax ceramic coating spray after I use Mother’s car Nuba wax?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Jeff! Welcome to my channel. One of the biggest and fastest growing detailing channels on KZbin as we surpassed 732,000 subscribers. Don’t mix regular waxes with ceramic based products, as they won’t bond. Ceramic products need to bond directly to virgin clear coat, or on top of existing ceramic coatings. Watch my video on the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating application: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laPCcouXisqHf7M

Hey Pan! Once again, loved the video. I have never applied a ceramic coating and would like to. In the case of AvalonKing how often do you recharge the applicator? After every 2 x 2 section?? Or after every panel? Thank You

Pan I need some ways to wash my car while I'm traveling. I decided to take my hellcat on a road trip half way across country and I got caught in snow so I'm covered in salt and debris. I have very few items with me and I'm reduced to autozone type supplies. Just throwing an idea out for a future video maybe. I'm going to do my best to just pre treat and rinse and if I can find any decent shampoo mitts or throw away buckets I'll use that for now. I do travel a lot though. Just not always in the hellcat lol
