Yeah Larry is a great guy. I've known him since 2011. He actually did a guest appearance in my recent Ammo Reflex review and tutorial video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o1HXG2uOqkg.html
Pan, you car simply looks stunning! I love your step by step guide to keeping up with your ceramic coating. You explained things that I think a lot of people get wrong when maintaining their coating. I give you kudos for filming your videos in English and French, it must be very hard and then to top it off you edit both of them as well. Your hard work is paying off, I love your videos and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for your continued support Todd! Much appreciated. Yes producing videos in both languages is very demanding. Detailing alone is quite a bit of work, so viewers can't imagine how harder it is to film above that... Plus video editing which I put a lot of efforts in. I get better at it as time goes by. Have a good evening and thanks for watching!!
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan. I park my car outside as I have no garage.So my car is under Sun and dust. After deep wash like you have shown and use the Ceramic Coating, would like to know would the Ceramic Coating protects the color/ paint against the UV Rays of the Sun? Or I need to add some more products? Furthermore, I sometimes end with lot of dust on the car as I park it outside. With the Ceramic Coating , If I wash my car every 2 weeks, would the Ceramic Coating Last? Please let me know. Thank you.
Such a satisfying video to watch. I've "washed" cars/trucks all my life for friends/family but was never truly happy with the results. I hated washing a car only to feel like I was partially ruining the paint in the process. I'm picking up my truck from a detail/paint correct/ceramic coating today and thanks for teaching me how to remain happy with my results. Cheers.
@@PanTheOrganizer Searching RU-vid for ceramic care. I'm sure I'll watch it a couple more times just for the pure joy of watching someone with skill and passion do great work. Keep it up!
Pans secret is he actually scares the car into detailing its self while it enjoys a cold one or he threatens it by calling bret the hit man hart lol amazing job pan
Pan, I am a weekend detailer who educates himself with a lot of detailing related RU-vid videos and yours sir are among the best out there! Thank you for the valuable information and keep the videos coming. You've earned yourself a fan :)

I'd like to know your opinion opinion on Chemical Guys products. There's a 100 different products. We chose Tire Kicker....good for interior and tire shine.
Pan you are unequivocally the GOAT of RU-vid detailing. Thanks to your great instructional videos I am finally pulling the trigger on Cquartz for my vehicle. Thank you for taking the time to make in-depth instruction on the subject. Also, I have to say I accidentally stumbled on one of your french videos and I love the longer PAAAAAAAAN intro!
@@PanTheOrganizer You are certainly welcome! Wow that is a tough one as I truly enjoy all of your videos. If i had to narrow it down I would say the Q and A (very informative) and ASMR videos (excellent for relaxation).

Pan’s instructional videos on ceramic detailing are definitely among the best I’ve seen on RU-vid. They’ve helped me tremendously in both applying and maintaining a beautiful ceramic coating to my vehicle. Keep up the great work, Pan! Your effort is much appreciated, good sir. Looking forward to more detailed information from you.
Hi! Thanks for your positive comment! Yes it's my own car. Got it new in 2015. I did a review of it on my channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RdskiGKn_Wk.html I like getting new cars every 3 years, so next year it's new car time! :) How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer I searched up car washing tips and your channel came up. And I watched loads of your videos and they were amazing !!!!. You put alot of work into your videos and cars and I'm really proud of that. Keep up the good work man. Your an inspiration to people 🖒
Great video! Im looking to give my BMW a ceramic pro treatment soon as I've heard alot of good about it, they even leave a 5 year warranty. Really curious how it'll end up.
Thanks for the comment! Have you watched my other popular video on how to apply a ceramic coating to a car? Here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-byKcYsEyWGk.html You'll learn everything there is to know about nano coatings. You can do it yourself with consumer grade versions like in the video (last 12 to 24 months) or have professional versions installed which can last up to 7 years depending on which product they're applying. How did you discover my channel?
Great video and nice tip on how to apply reload (i use much more so will use your method from now on) i had cquk applied on my car and keep it regularly maintained every month by washing with Reset and using a quick detailer comprising of Carpro Ech20 with a few ounces of Carpro reload mixed in. Every 3 months i use just reload to keep it in top condition. Been told mine should last unto 5 years by using this method. I also only cover 6k miles a year and don't do many long journeys.
Another top class video Pan. After watching one of your videos the first thing I did was smash the subscribe button. Always look forward to Sundays and Thursdays.
Awesome, thanks for your support buddy! I appreciate it. I'm blessed with positive viewers like you. Which is your favorite video on my channel so far?
Thanks Billy!! If you liked this video with a Beemer, I hope you saw my popular BMW M3 full car detail video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OjQavIEiWlM.html
Amazing video like always, Pan. The best auto detailer on RU-vid. Hands down! Any tips for keeping brake discs looking good? At 6:42 the brake disc looks oxidized like mine do after a wash but I notice it goes away after the first drive after a wash. I don't see oxidation in the "final results" section of the video. Did you do something off screen?
+Froylan Cepeda Yup you just roll forward and backwards and apply brakes and that surface rust disapears. All rotors do that after washing. Totally normal.
Awesome! I thought it was just my technique or products. I switched from Meguiar's Wheel Brightener to a weaker Chemical Guys wheel cleaner but got the same result with both. Thanks Pan
I have to say that no one else can do a better job in explaining like you do. Truly hats off for such a wonderful videos and time you invest in sharing the knowledge. The video for apply the coating is just marvellous...keep it up and cheers all the way!
Coating lasts 12-24months, so how do I know when it is gone? And so say I’m 15months in and want to reapply or remove it completely how do I go about this? Lastly won’t the ceramic coating also get scratched? Can we polish and wax the ceramic coating? Need these answers before I pull the trigger 😃 Great videos by the way, very helpful, I hope someone can answer the above to 😊
Hi Kristupas. You'll see it's gone when there is no more water sheeting. Water will be very slow to sheet off. To make sure you've completely removed the coating at that point, a good paint polishing is necessary and reprep your surface to receive a new coat or two (like in my tutorial on ceramic coating application). Also, ceramic coatings aren't meant to protect against scratches. That's pure marketing hype. Yes they are 2-3 times harder than your clear coat and will help DIMINISH the appearance of micro scratches, but that's about it. If you haven't seen it yet, watch my full tutorial on how to properly apply a ceramic coating. It's ranked number one on RU-vid for coatings with over 1.3 million views so far: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-byKcYsEyWGk.html
Pan TheOrganizer I was subscribed a year ago but just subscribed again because I've decided to restart my mobile detailing company with more knowledge of what I'm doing. So far you're the only one who gives great information.
Pan, I watched this video with much detail. You see, I just purchased my first BMW this week an X4. I can't wait to use many of the products you suggested. One question, where did you get the applicator sponge you use on the tires to apply the dressing? I am in the US. Thanks for you your very thoughtful and informative videos.
Hey pan i live in hot weatherd and dusty area and car get so much road grime and tar how is the proper way to clean it with less scratches as possible thanks
You can use different products for tar and traffic film, such as CarPro TarX and Citrol 266 citrus based degreaser. You should also use an iron remover such as CarPro IronX and Gyeon Iron to remove iron particles embedded in your paint. So usually, you start by washing your car, then using iron removers followed by tar removers, rinse everything off well and then claybar your paint. You can then polish the paint or go straight to protecting it with waxes or sealants or nano coatings. See my videos to explain all of these processes. ;) And to make things easy for my viewers, I include links to all the products used in each video in the description box under each video. You just click the "show more" button under the video and you'll see all the products. How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer Hello thank you for responding, i did discover the channel through surfing in detailing vids in youtube. So what i should i do is rinse the car then spray the ironx on the body before beginning the bathing two bucket method?
Pan TheOrganizer I usually browse around. Searched ceramic coating one day and I found your channel. Very informative videos and people like me appreiciate it my friend
Pan TheOrganizer just started looking at videos on how to properly clean cars and you popped up, liked the music and you just make all vehicles look truly amazing! So you are my guy and I follow a lot what you do to my personal cars. Thank you for the amazing videos and make it easy to follow :)
Pan TheOrganizer from the US of A! Lol I love in Texas. No one out here can make car look this amazing! That’s why I want to be just like you and make car look better than the ladies down here! Lol jk
Thanks 👍 Lots of care goes into keeping our grass looking its best: irrigation system, a company that does the lawn care services and we also have a guy who cuts the grass for us. We have since moved to a brand new home this year, but the same type of care will be done to our new lawn.
Pan, another easy to follow and very helpful video. I have decided to use Armor Shield Quartz on my new vehicle. Can I use Carpro Reset and Reload over this coating, or should I try to stay with the same manufacturers products. I did note that unlike using Reload, Avalon Kings product requires an additional step with IPA. Thanks.
LOL Thanks, I am kind of obsessed with dialing everything in perfectly. :). I think I named my channel appropriately to suit my personality. :) Which is your favorite video on my channel so far?
Hi from Canada and thanks for your comment, much appreciated!! It's in the plans to make an English video for the interior detailing (I made one in French a while back which became super popular). How did you discover my channel?
Perfect! I´ll be waiting. So what is that song playing in the intro? Yo never told me. I think I was just browsing through detailing videos and ended up looking through your channel.
Hey pan! so after I’m done drying my car, I use reload as a sacrificial layer and should last somewhere between 1-3 months give or take. obviously I’m going to wash my car regularly so my question to you is, is what do you use as a “topper” after you dry your car (or maybe use with drying). as I’m not going to use reload after every wash (as you stated you don’t either). I also plan on getting car pro gliss in the near future. But for now. I’m not 100 percent sure Ps. I’ve asked you a few questions on a few other videos and you always reply and answer my questions perfect and for that I much much appreciate it. thanks from a fellow Canadian!👊🏻
Hey Pan! Very informative video! Definitely a great guide for those wanting to maintain their ceramic coated vehicles in the best shape possible. Should Reload (or any other Silica sealant) be only applied every two to three months, or would there be an issue with doing it every wash?
So,all and all ceramic coated car is always very much money demanding as a maintenance option-seen before with other "revolutionary" products. No,thank you!
Actually, it would be the opposite. A consumer grade quality coating like CarPro CQuartz UK Edition only costs roughly 60$ US for the kit with Reload spray sealant and you can coat two cars with a 30 mL bottle. When you consider that the protection lasts 1 to 2 years, you have major cost savings as you don't have to reapply wax every 3 months or a paint sealant every 5-6 months. You're also saving time by not having to manually reapply waxes or sealants. So it depends how you see things. Personally, ceramic coatings (nano coatings in general) are great as they save you time in the long run, and added costs of having to reapply waxes and sealants. I also never look at costs when detailing cars, as a car is usually your second biggest expense in your life after your home, and needs to be taken care of. But to each his own, you're allowed to use any method you want to take care of your car. I show many different techniques in my videos. What do you do to yours?
Thanks a bunch Pan. Awesome videos. Just had my vehicle coated and was wondering why you don't use an air blower to dry the car first before using the microfiber towels?
You can do which ever method fits you best. There's no "right or wrong". But for sure, a coated car is much easier to dry. Even just using the car dryer is more than enough.
Pan, great video. Do you think ceramic coatings are worth the cost and effort given the fact that you need to maintain them and use special products which cost more compared to consumer line products (megs, CG, etc)? Do you think you can achieve the same protection by using a quality polymer sealant and using it often?
No sealant or wax offers the same level of durability or chemical resistance as true ceramic coatings so for me, yes they’re worth every penny. That’s what I apply to my own cars.
@@PanTheOrganizer pan sir I am also very crazy about cars I was searching videos for cars detailing and I got your videos they are really nice and helpfull and I will definatlly buy turtle products from Amazon thank you 🙂
Nice video sir ... i hv question sir, can i use ONR and ipa for maintenance the ceramic coating ? Because i want re layering my ceramic coating after 1 or 2 year later. Thx for ur input sir...
Great video! Have You tried multiple wash mitts? e.g. one for the hood/roof/trunk,one for the sides..to the beltline,one to finish up. I recently started doing this. It works beautifully! Overkill? maybe...but! we can't be too careful trying to reduce swirls and scratches!
Pan TheOrganizer Understandable. Use what works best for You! I like multiple mitts s d two buckets. Probably taking it a little overboard, but that’s ok.
Pan, you're car looks amazing, I'ù curious about it's age... I'm going to follow your advice (most of it) for my new car I'm getting on Wednesday. I don't have the discipline to do the actions of this video everytime, but I'll give my best. My own Ceramic Coating appointment was allready made before I discovered this video. I have troubles getting the products you've added to the discription to Belgium though :(. I'll search a little longer and ask with car detailer which products he advises after coating and ppf protection is applied. PS. I've been said that 'Ceramic Pro' coating (which I'll have end of december) is acid resistant. Isn't yours? Since you're prone to buying ph neutral products.
CarPro Reload is a sealant to be used every 2-3 months to maintain the coating. You also like Bead Maker a great deal. Can that be used after every wash or more frequently? Did I see in a video that it can be sprayed on when the car is wet to facilitate drying and bring out the gloss?
Yes. Bead Maker doesn’t last long (3-4 weeks) but what it’s great at is boosting gloss and slickness. So I like using it as a drying aid after washing a ceramic coated car.
Pan To begin, thank you so much for your videos they are fantastic. I recently had 1 coat ceramic pro 9h and 1 coat ceramic pro light applied to my car. I am getting prepared for the first wash after application and was wondering if you had a recommended quick detailer for these ceramic coated cars. Additionally, if you do not have access to a garage/ driveway and must use a self wash bay would you recommend using the wash bay's pre soak prior to the two bucket method or just rinse and proceed to two bucket with car pro reset?
Thanks for the comment Kia. For a quick detailer for coated cars, I love CarPro Reload. Boosts gloss and hydrophobics, and protects for 2-3 months easy. For the self wash bays, hard for me to recommend anything as I never use those... They tend to have harsh soaps. Make sure you have a quality shampoo.
Pan TheOrganizer I don't remember I've been watching some of your videos for a while. I am a fan of Adams products. I should be doing detail videos myself. You do a great job editing and keep up the work
Hi, I a Detailer in India. What should be done if swirl marks come back on the ceramic coating surface. Shall we buff it with a DA polisher and mild cut rubbing compound. If yes then will ceramic coating will come out along with buffing.
The black leather car bras that you can purchase and put on the front of cars to help stop bugs and rock chips on your hood. They are removable. But I've heard they rub your paint off. So now I'm concerned about them. I've looked to see if you ever spoke on them I haven't seen them. It's not the clear plastic that I have seen detailers putting on cars. This is leather mostly black that attaches to the hood and bumper with hooks.
Pan, are there any quick sprays I could use on my ceramic coated car? Say for example I noticed dirt/bird droppings while I'm on the go and I wanted to wipe it off with a microfiber cloth/mitt with a spray of some sort?
amazing video, i just wanted to ask that i recently got my car ceramic coated and iam waiting 10 days for the coat to settle, but in the meantime i drove the car 2 times in dusty conditions and now the car is dirty, do i need to be worried that the dust would somehow damage the ceramic coating ? iam worried the coating might not settle the way it should as the car is dusty now. i applied gyeon Q2 MOHS on my car . pls help
Zero worries. And actually, wait two full weeks before washing your car. That’s even better. Welcome to my channel.

@@PanTheOrganizer man thanks a lot, but now whats giving me the anxiety is, that i got my car coated with MOHS, brought it home and what i saw on my bonnet was a big bird poop and some dead small insects 😂 i was new to this coating era and what i did is i took a damp cloth and gently rubbed it off, but it sat there for like 2 hours on my freshly coated car. now when i get my first wash done, should i also apply gyeon cure as iam worried the acid might have damaged it, i felt the yellowish tint didnt go away even after i gently rubbed the bird dropping off.
That was my previous Karcher K5 unit which I reviewed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v_vbuUogjd4.html Now I use my new Kranzle 1122TST pressure washer dryer which I reviewed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cj4FDpKuORI.html
+Lee Thomas Never compounded. Just polished. Never had an issue with orange peel on the latest beemers. Same goes for the M3 I detailed in another video.
It depends what country you live in. In that video, it was my first generation MTM foam cannon with my Karcher K5 pressure washer. I've since upgraded to the new top of the line second gen MTM PF22 cannon with Kranzle K1122TST pressure washer.

Hi there .. have a quick question. I got my car Ceramic coated recently. So I left it at the parking and some guy used an old cotton cloth to clean it to make a few bucks. It had a lot of dust on it and now it has scratches after he wiped all the dust with the cloth. What can I do to reverse this or is it too late to save it ..?
There’s only one polish that can be used to correct minor scratches and swirls on a ceramic coated car. CarPro Essence+ (not the regular Essence). Look into that.
I wouldn’t recommend Reset on regular waxes or sealants. Just on ceramic coatings. If you are using a car dryer to blow dry the car, you don’t use a drying aid.
Pan. I just had my clear coated white 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn ceramic coated which is located here in Hinesville, Ga. I purchased the lifetime warranty from a ceramic pro shop in Jesup, Ga. I was told to bring the vehicle in once a year for maintenance. Do you have a list of products to include mitt and towels that I need to use until the maintenance service is performed by the shop? The truck has not been washed in ten days or since the vehicle was coated. So the coating should be cured at this time.
Hi! Yes after a week, it's safe to start washing your vehicle. All the links to the products I recommended for the maintenance are in the description under the video.
hey man, thanks for the video! Do you ever have any difficulty drying your car fast enough? I always find I don't have enough waffle weave towels to dry it quick enough (I can go through 3 and they get drenched.. maybe I need better ones) I notice that I tend to end up having a lot more water on my car than you do before I start the drying process. Any tips?
Hey Pan, occasionally bonded contaminates will cause a ceramic/graphene coating to looking flat/dead after washing even though the coating is still there. Which product(s) do you recommend to use when a pH neutral shampoo is not strong enough to remove these containments, but at the same time, will not weaken the coating?
I like CarPro Reset and Gyeon Restart Wash as more intensive shampoos for coatings. CarPro Lift as a more intense snow foam. And using iron removers every 3 to 4 months really helps.
Hey Pan, How does the CarPro Reload interact with Bead Maker? I have a ceramic coating and I'm using Bead Maker as a drying aid during my weekly maintenance washes. It's been about 3 months since I applied my coating, so I was going to hit it with the Reload. Will it still be effective, or are there any other things I need to consider? Thank you! Sean
thank you for great video the product in the video not same as the links ? and please give us the linkes for other products you use for the tire and the brushes please thank you
I give some alternative choices when a product isn't available in a given country. For wheels and tires, check out my wheel cleaning video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Byfk0LptIhQ.html For the tire brush, it's the TUFF SHINE tire brush that I now use: amzn.to/2u2j45Q
Hello Pan, My car dealar provided me a Coating Maintenance ( Called Maintenance cleaner) which seems to be a cleaner and PTFE coating cream for applying after the car wash ( it is Ceramic coated by the dealer). I did first wash today ( I just got delivery on day before yesterday). After just a wash with water. I was confused if I should use shampoo or not (the wash station dispose shampoo / foam from the same water jet hose). After application of the cream with wet towel it give very good shine thou and the water get dry very soon. What's your opinion on the use of the Maintenance Cleaner?
I have no idea what kind of maintenance cleaner so I can’t tell you if it’s good or bad. But the steps in this video are what is important. If I were you, I’d invest in a quality maintenance product like CarPro Reload, Gyeon Cure, Kamikaze Over Coat, etc.
Hey Pan, instead of Car Pro Reload, could I be using Bead Maker? Or stick with what you mentioned? Just have done one wash with a carnauba liquid wax from mcguires, hopefully that hasn’t ruined my ceramic coating either..
If it's at least a week after your initial ceramic coating application, yes you can start washing your car and use Bead Maker instead of Reload. Bead Maker doesn't last as long, but you get a lot more gloss and slickness. That's what I used for maintenance on my own ceramic coated car in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0KUJpoki-iQ.html
I use snow foams like Gyeon Foam, AngelWax Fast Foam, Adam’s Car Shampoo, Chemical Guys Honeydew SnowFoam, Fireball Active Snow Foam... Here’s a video I made showing some in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DEhRXn027kc.html
No, you would do this once every 2 or 3 months. For regular weekly washes, here's how I wash my ceramic coated Porsche: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KEAfc_LUO4E.html
Hi Pan great video, where can i get the Fireball active snow foam in the US? or any other snow foam will you recommend for Cquartz coated car? i've been using carpro reset to foam and wash my car, but seems like it's a waste of reset to use it to foam a car. thanks
