Michigan has been nasty the past couple weeks... But winter is always a struggle for those in clean car club! The only trick I have to share - on days where the roads are wet/sloppy (or even raining during warmer weather), I fill up 2 one-gallon jugs of water, then put them in my car and drive to work. After going through the wet nasty roads and after parking my car, I just douse the side panels and back of the car with the water jugs and it helps sheet off a lot of the yuck before it can dry or freeze on. People at work probably think I'm nuts 😂. It helps though, especially after you recently washed it.

[@Twiztid_Metal]

j5ritzema same with MN. Between sub-zero temps, and tons of snow, my black S4 has to stay dirty for longer than I'd like

[@OuzoLouGarage]

[@JWL-UK]

For pre-washing during the winter check Auto Fanatic review/demo of StarBrite Salt Off. It's a great product that leaves a Teflon like layer of protection behind. I dilute 60mls/2 Oz of product in 1 liter of water. I use foam pump to cover the car and let it work for 10 minutes. I then rinse it off using a power wash (from local gas station) and dry using Sonax BSD as drying aid (2 squirts on towel per panel) . I do this twice a week if time permits and there's a lot of road salt to avoid build up. Salt off literally dissolves salt and light dirt. It can go on painted surfaces, tires, glass, wheels and trim. Totally recommended. Car is ready in less than 30 minutes. Method above can be used without power wash (see Auto Fanatic's video) Note: my car is well looked after, I coated with Fusso Coat 5 months ago and it's still going strong. Salt off does not remove waxes or sealants when used as per manufacturer's instructions.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes I saw Auto Fanatic’s video. Phil has lots of experience in the automotive industry.

[@toddhalstead5038]

Pan, these are all great tips for winter detailing. I don’t have a heated garage so one thing that I do every year is to take all my detailing supplies in the house. It is not good for them to freeze, it tends to change the formulas and will degrade their performance. Just something that I do!

I undercoat my mid-size SUV with Krown rust control each fall. When the weather warms up in the spring, I find some Krown residue leaks out of the seams and onto the body. Not a huge issue on my paint, but most of it winds up on my textured black plastic trim, which is more difficult to clean. Any suggestions on cleaning textured plastic trim?

Hey Pan, I know you live in MTL, i have a Question regarding mobile detailing during the winter in QC, any tips on how to do that on a business perspective, any products to use and how even to be able to do it in a -5 degrees? Unless mobile detailing in only from spring to fall. Thanks in advance

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I am not a mobile detailer. I detail from my garage all year round (heated and cooled garage) so I have no tips for mobile detailers in Quebec unfortunately. Plus, it's not recommended to detail in below freezing temperatures, you'd still need to have access to the customer's garage, or rent a garage space somewhere. Your best bet would be to reach out to mobile detailers in your area and have a discussion with them and see what they recommend.

[@erichanus02]

I know this is a little late. I just purchased a new black truck this month. January Michigan winter... What would you recommend to protect the paint now? No access to running water other than local carwash. Truck wont fit into the garage. I do own polisher, compounds, wax and sealants. Should I just use a spray sealant/ rinse and then full detail in the spring?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That's a hard one, as I would always recommend the best possible protection (ceramic coating) right out of the gate on day 1 as soon as you take delivery of your new vehicle. But you don't apply coatings (or any type of protection for that matter) in temperatures below 10F. Ideally you want to apply protection around 68F which is the ideal temp. But since you have no access to water and no garage, there's nothing you can do really. You could bring it to a pro detailing shop and have a coating applied. Do it once, do it right. If you apply a cheap protection now, you will struggle come spring time to fully remove it before applying something with more durability like a ceramic or graphene coating. You could do nothing, and just wait until spring comes along and then do all the steps right. Watch my ceramic coating application tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaK0iomgraukgZI

[@gerdz101]

So basically you need to have a heated indoor garage to be able to do this on winter.

[@eyedaman91]

Do you recommend getting a car wash pass that gets the under carriage of my vehicle? I live on the east coast of the United States and we get a good amount of snow. And with the salt, it’s very ugly and bad for the car. How do you recommend I get that clean without going through a car wash that can scratch your vehicle?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can buy an undercarriage washer that attaches to your pressure washer if you have a pressure washer.

[@darktators9198]

Rinse less wash is my very best friend for myself and my customers in the winter.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Did you watch my rinseless wash tutorial? Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHCc41jn791pLs

[@petebrandstrom1038]

@Pan The Organizer, I know this is an older video. During winter, we see many months below freezing temperatures. (I’m not telling you anything about cold weather). What kind of waterless wash do you suggest I use in my unheated garage? Something like the Adams waterless wash? The Ammo product, although it is diluted with water. Have a great day!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A waterless wash should only be a last resort alternative and only on lightly soiled cars. AMMO Frothe would be the best hoseless wash. But if you can, step up to a rinseless wash instead. I have a tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHCc41jn791pLs Of course the ideal is to always use a traditional wash method with buckets and water.

[@carsound]

Thanks for the tips, here is a question... what is your best tip to keep the doors from freezing shut? Same thing for the windows? It has happend a lot in the past, 2 or 3 times this winter... I get to the drive through and I cant get the windows to roll down because it had rained the day before and not its below freezing temperature. NExt time I will write thin in french, to lazy to actualy re-write it correctly in my native language... keep up the good work... thanks to you I never had this clean of a car... well not now but in general :)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Marc. For the doors, you can spray a silicone based spray lubricant for rubber on a towel, and rub that into the rubber seals around the doors. This will prevent water moisture and prevent them from freezing.

[@ColoradoMk4]

I’m out in Colorado where sometimes it does t get above freezing for a week + and all the road salt builds up really fast, any tips of cleaning a car while it’s below freezing?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I wouldn't recommend washing a car below freezing, as most chemicals are ineffective at those temperatures (below 40F) and water will simply freeze on the surface... Either you get a heated garage, or bring it to a hand wash reputable detailing place. Third and least favourite option is bring it to an automatic car wash.

[@ColoradoMk4]

Thank you!

[@Butterffinger5678]

I've found that using distilled water in a super soaker and rinsing the car off right after you come home helps keep the car cleaner, especially if the car has water on it that hasn't dried yet. You can also mist a waterless wash over the car and let it dwell a moment before you rinse the car. Distilled water dries clean, so you won't have to worry about wiping it dry, especially in cold weather.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

[@davidc-l9174]

Pan is my hero. I have a garage, but it's unheated/uninsulated and my car is a daily driver. Invariably, then, it gets covered in salt and other road grime in the winter. The paint is ceramic coated, so I'm not too concerned about longterm negative effects on the paint, but it's just not possible to wash it as frequently as I'd like during the cold months. These tips are helpful and I just may try a waterless wash method the next time we have a day that's tolerable to be in the garage for an extended period of time.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for your support David!

[@vladsaghin7644]

Hey Pan, my mom bought a brand new 2018 Golf (white silver) last summer and after washing it today, I noticed A TON of small orange/yellowish spots on the paint, especially on the back bumpers and hatch... I applied a Silverwax paint sealant back in November so I have no idea why she has so many rust spots. She keeps it in the garage (at maximum 5°C) though so maybe that's why. Any idea if these spots are removable? Thanks

[@chrisroberts9197]

All of those orange spots you are seeing are embedded contaminants that need to be removed. First chemically decontaminate the paint with carpro iron x or optimum farrex, just to name a couple, spray the entire car down and let it dwell. It will start to turn purple as it breaks down the iron particles embedded in the paint. This wont eliminate claying but it will help reduce the amount of time you spend claying the vehicle. Buy or mix up a clay lube and grab a clay bar, clay towel or clay mitt and get to claying.

No as you don't know what effect that might have on the soap's chemistry. If you don't have access to a heated garage, don't wash your car in temps below 5 to 10C (41-50F). Perhaps seek a place with wash bays that you can use. There seems to be many of those in the USA.

PRO TIP (from an enthusiast), unfortunately this only works with garage owners... dun dun dun... detail your vehicle inside your garage :D I am a cheeky so and so. Another good one is using those self-service coin washes, mainly for the jet wash, then bring your own cleaning apparatus. A bonus is if you own an IK Foamer, or something similar, use that to your advantage with spraying car soap etc. Love this channel; gives that input of how more ways to skin a cat, or wash a car in this case.

I always wash my vehicles outside during the New England winters. Rather than doubling up on winter gloves and nitrile gloves, I use Glacier Glove ice fishing gloves. They keep your hands warm and dry even in the coldest water. They are thick enough to protect your hands but thin enough that you can get the feel of towels and tools. You can pick them up at Bass Pro Shops or Dick's Sporting Goods.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Too bad we don't have those stores here in Canada where I live...

[@derekmunro5100]

You can use a leaf blower to get the snow off your car.

Great tip!!

Hi Pan. I currently have ethos ceramic wax applied to my vehicle. If I used the optimum power clean before ONR will that affect my coating??

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes.

[@katiescannell1402]

Hi Pan, Absolutely love the videos, your channel is my go to for any detailing jobs.. Do you think you will ever do a ceramic coating re application video.. my coating has been on my car for nearly 2 years now and I'm desperate for some hints and tips as to what to do.. / how to go about applying another coating.. keep up the great work. Colin

[@nurulasif1]

Thanks Pan. Learn a lot from your tutorial specially available product in market for detailing.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Nurul!! 👍🏻

@@PanTheOrganizer you are most welcome

[@yellowhanzel]

On the rubber mats i only use ONR..a brush with cordless drill attatchment and dry them with a microfiber towel. And put solution finish on them and wipe dry with a microfiber towel

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Good technique too Hans

[@covolt882]

Hey Pan! Do you have any experience with the “Inspiration” ceramic coating from P&S? I cant decide between it, Gyeon Mohs, and Kamikaze Miyabi. Any insight would be great.

[@paulroberts194]

I was thinking about winter washing today. Thanks 👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Paul!

[@GavDetails]

If I am unable to use the pressure washer and 2 bucket method @ home, I take my truck to the do it yourself bay, thoroughly rinse the heavy salt and road grime off. I bring the truck home and perform a rinseless wash. In years past I have used a wash mitt but this year I purchased Minx Royale towels based off your videos with the Rag Company.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The Minx Royale are my towels of choice for rinseless washes as well, combined with ONR it's a killer duo! :)

[@DavidRodriguez-gt7uz]

If I apply a ceramic coating can I use a car cover to protect my car from the elements so it can cure? I don’t have a garage to leave it inside and was wondering what someone like me can do.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You'll have to check what temperatures your specific ceramic coating requires for curing, as anything close to freezing isn't recommended usually.

[@vikas80551]

Hi, i have ceramic coat done on my car. And for the Maintaince can I use Mr. Pink shampoo and to finish it off can I use CarPro reload?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes

[@Dosalt]

@10:31 that's not a rubber floor mat

[@importcarenthusiast]

Would a waterless or rinseless wash work well as a “pre-rinse” since it’s designed to lift the dirt off the surface?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes. Many people use ONR as a pre-rinse to a wash in something like an IK sprayer. Let it soak a few minutes, then rinse.

[@igarza495]

Excellent Thank you for sharing

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Irma!

[@kaisatrimiar1856]

Hey Man!!! Just wondering what products you would recommend and not recommended for a satin wrapped vehicle

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Nothing that ads gloss. You can use a new coating from CarPro called "Skin". Watch my CarPro video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXaXp5ysjaljpdU

[@Taino5.0]

Any thoughts on foam snow tools on paint. I use a sun Joe foam cleaner tool for snow.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If it's just light powdery fluffy snow, use a leaf blower. 100% contactless. If you are removing harder snow with a snow broom or a foam block, wrap a microfiber towel around the head and always leave a bit of snow on the paint, don't remove all the way down to the paint, that way you don't run the risk of scratching the paint.

[@Taino5.0]

@@PanTheOrganizer got it. yea the tool I have is completely made out of foam at the head so nothing that can scratch. Kinda like a nerf football.

[@michelsirio586]

Bonjour PAN Quand dois-je utiliser le GYEON Q2M PREP, entre le sealant jet seal et le butter wet wax ou après la décontamination avec la Clay barre. merci pour toutes tes videos je suis souvent tes conseils

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Pas obligé d’utiliser un IPA avant une cire ou un scellant. Mais c’est bien que tu veuilles t’assurer d’avoir une surface propre. Après la claybar, tu rinses et tu sèches le véhicule. Tu vaporises Prep et tu essuies. Tu appliques Jet Seal suivi de la cire Butter Wet.

[@michelsirio586]

Merci Pan de tes conseils tu es toujours au TOP@@PanTheOrganizer

[@DGeeez]

Do you always use new micro fiber cloths/towels or you do wash and reuse them?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I throw away towels used to apply true ceramic coatings. All the other towels I wash after each use.

It's been brutal in Calgary lately. Usually I try to go to a wand wash before ONR but all of them seem to be closed in -15. I've been doing smaller buckets of ONR and changing out the water more often as it gets quite full of salt.

[@Idleinca]

There are two that are open regardless of the temperature. (That I know of) Top Gear Car Wash at the North end of the city, and the one next door to the Lamborghini dealership

Salut Pan, encore une autre vidéo contenant de très bons conseils ! Pour ma part, je vais opter pour un lavage sans eau. J’ai pris un produit Michelin expert disponible en France. Mon véhicule est blanc et peut paraître propre au premier regard. Sauf que si je passe un doigt sur la carrosserie, je peux nettement suivre la trace de mon doigt indiquant une fine pellicule de crasse / poussière. Penses-tu que je puisse appliquer directement le produit sans eau sans passer par un prélavage en station ? (Je suis en appartement en centre ville) A+

The heat and humidity is terrible in Puerto Rico, but every time I see a video about winter washing I’m more and more grateful to live in the Caribbean.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You are sooooo lucky! I hate winter!

[@Themazcorner]

Are any of those degreasers you are using petroleum based? I predominantly have to use petroleum based first during the winter months otherwise the dirt will not come off. I also have to do a round with alkalic degreaser diluted. Then one round with the foam cannon and two bucket method... a bit cumbersome Never used the no rinse wash methods to scared for that haha

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That’s right!

[@Themazcorner]

@David Gotelli I'll give it a go in the summer :D, thanks for the input

[@Themazcorner]

@@PanTheOrganizer I'll give it a go when the weather is more mild:). Any thoughts regarding the degreasers, the ones I have to use are quite strong from a chemical PoV. I would assume the weather in CA and Sweden are quite similar, I need to use the degreasers, the petroleum based I only use from the door handles and down as it is not to get in behind the door trims as it dissolves the rust protection.

[@davidguberman4780]

Thanks Pan for suggesting the Stoner Trim Shine on the WeatherTech floor mats. Excellent suggestion!

[@dylandetails361]

It's 20F and sunny outside... I'm so tempted to try to get out there. Pan, what would you say is the coldest temperature that you can detail a vehicle with running water outside?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I wouldn’t wash my car outside under 45F (7C) as you would be too cold to enjoy doing the work and you’re reaching the limit where chemicals don’t perform well anymore (40F).

[@orangeVSappel]

Fortunately my apartment has an indoor car wash spot. Lifesaver during winters.

[@olliebell7177]

Pan can you please advise, I have the new x5 which I am told has extremely soft paint by the guy who polished it and applied the ceramic coating, I have done a few maintenance washes using all the correct techniques, pre wash using a pH neutral snowfoam, using the 3 bucket method and trying to be as gentle as I can, even using a leaf blower in order to remove as much water as I can before using a microfibre towel. However, I have still inflicted a lot of scratches and swirl marks and I am gutted but I don’t know how I can stop this as I believe I already am using all of the correct techniques! Thanks I’m advance

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I’m surprised he would tell you that as German luxury cars traditionally have very hard clear coats. If you inflicted swirls and scratches in your paint, the only solution is to use CarPro Essence+ polish (not the regular Essence) which is designed to corrected damaged ceramic coatings.

[@olliebell7177]

Pan TheOrganizer ok thanks, I’ll give it a go. Yeah he said it is incredibly soft not sure why it is but it does seem soft as it hasn’t took much for any scratches to appear

[@Chriskiller27]

Is it safe to use any kind of APC to the paint to remove some salt? Like the one that said enviromentaly friendly?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes.
