I’m a car girl and love taking the best care of my car. I watch your videos to learn the best ways to do that!! I just bought my 3rd new mini cooper hatchback S. It’s black and I love it. You’ve taught me so much in keeping it in the best most beautiful shape!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback Diana! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RU-vid as we surpassed 945,000 subscribers and we have over 125 million views! 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.
Pan, I would also love to see you review some of these new coatings - Cerakote, CQ Go, Armor Shield Max, etc. - and compare their ease of application and performance. Where might they place in your annual product review for the coating category?
Since I don't have easy access to free flowing water, what I am most excited is the Ego cordless pressure washer. This will make my life a lit easier and also help me start my detailing business. I am also very interested in their cordless vaccum. Thanks a lot for the video, Pan.
Glass, when viewed under a microscope, is porous just like automotive paint. So grime and contamination accumulates in the "valleys" of the glass. The bare minimum is to wash and clay the glass. The best possible thing is to wash the car, clay the glass, then machine polish using a glass polish and glass polishing pad (typically made from rayon), then IPA wipe to remove polishing oils, then apply a glass coating for long term protection and hydrophobics. You can see my popular glass polishing tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yMi5PtyqUI8.htmlsi=zOEbCOg3Y9i-d8lo And my favourite DIY glass coating here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-usdM-TrT7fg.htmlsi=kbnZWkMuPe-ctwAN
Pan, I got to play with the Rupes polisher for a short time. My first impressions, great build quality, very smooth, quiet, yes very light weight, the position of the battery is a great design feature. The backing plate is very thin compared to all others on the market. The ability to plug it in to a wall socket, with no difference from the battery or power cord output, Is another great feature . Hi have other Rupes polishers, flex, griots etc… in my shop. This will be on our Christmas shopping list. See you at SEMA next year. Regards Paddy.
Wow Pan, almost 1 Million subscribers. Congratz so much, I remember celebrating and how happy you were at 100,000. You do so much and put in the work, always accurate and high quality on all. Your videos have helped me so much through the years, on very many different subjects,, up to Unclog Kitchen Sink !!! Keep up the excellency work. Take good care ❤🎉
Glad you enjoyed it! How did you discover my channel by the way Tom? Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RU-vid as we surpassed 945,000 subscribers and we have over 125 million views! 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.
Hi Pan, I would love to see your application and thoughts on Diamond Body 36 also now CarPro nano diamond d.q.go?? Some very interesting stuff made me curious to see what comes to be stand outs among the bunch. Again thank you for all that you do. Your teaching and experience goes a long way I love learning from you to make things better and easier.
My take on car wash pods - are they of interest to me? No. But I absolutely applaud a company for trying something like that and seeing what the marketplace says. I think we should all encourage that. Also - I saw an interview with Nick Griot where he said he sees this as being a first step toward more products being concentrates. Think in terms of buying pods rather than gallons - you can "refill" a 16oz bottle of detail spray with a pod. A possible money and space saver... One more quick note on Griots too, Pan - if you notice they have stopped selling their regular Rinseless Wash - that's because they are about to release an updated version of it. So another new product to look out for!
My two top picks from this years SEMA are definitely CarPro's D.Quartz Go coating and Gyeon's new unveilings👍🏻. Interested to see if Turtle Wax will bring anything new next year even though they skipped SEMA this year. Great work Pan, as always❤.
Pam thanks a lot! The Stoner Hybrid invisible glass is a 2 in 1. Rain Repelent + Glass Cleaner. I haven't tried but I was about to buy it. What do you think about the anti fog?
Pan! According to another channel, trim coats don’t provide any UV protection whatsoever. I want to know which trim “protections” actually provide some UV protection and perhaps some protection from oxidation. Seems like most just offer aesthetic benefits. Please inform us!
I completely disagree. There are tons of trim coatings that claim UV protection, many from top tier brands. Here are a few: CarPro DLUX: bit.ly/3MCdrVa Gyeon Trim: bit.ly/3SEzIVR Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat: amzn.to/3QFh65P Those are longer lasting ceramic based coatings. There are also trim dressings that claim UV protection: 303 Protectant: amzn.to/3SEREjj CarPro PERL: bit.ly/3QXE0qn So they all claim UV protection, UV inhibitors, protection from fading/oxidizing, etc. And I'm not sure what "other channel" you're referring to, but I highly doubt that person is a chemist. Don't forget that the chemists that formulate these do tests in controlled environments, with specific equipment that isn't usually accessible to the public. So the only issue we have as customers, is we don't really have a way to test for UV resistance. Regardless of what machine you buy and what test you think you can make, it's just impossible to duplicate what the chemists do. I had discussions with many leading industry chemists on that topic, and they all assured me that when they claim UV protection, there are actual UV inhibitors in the formula. They wouldn't claim things that aren't true, as they'd expose themselves to issues like lawsuits. Here's a discussion with a leading chemist on many topics, including UV protection, that you can perhaps listen to for better insight: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uv2LWtYBxe0.htmlsi=ByamaH0sWoy5MoXy&t=1450 I prefer to get factual information straight from the source, instead of relying on what people who aren't scientists say.
wow what a response, thank you for filling me in. The test I saw was performed on clear stick of plexiglass, where trim coatings were applied and cured. a UV light meter was used to measure the amount of UV light that transmitted through the plexiglass. in almost all cases, the coatings failed to block UV light. once I find the video I will be happy to link it for you to scrutinize if you want. I will look through the products you linked. Thanks again Pan. you are the man.@@PanTheOrganizer
Pan im new to ur channel and love how knowledgeable u are about car products, very helpful for someone who's a 1st time car owner. I know you have done a chemical guy review b4 but can you do an updated version bc they have so many different products and it's been over wheeling trying to decide which one to use. iv already spent close to 300 on their stuff, good marketing company for sure 😂.
Yasou Pan, Welcome back from your vacation in Greece and thank you for the pictures and video. Is there a second part to the SEMA convention? I did not see and feedback/reviews from DYI or the Chemical Guys, etc. NIKOS
Chemical Guys weren't at the show. And DIY Detail didn't have any new products unveiled, so in this video I just highlighted a few of the new products that I thought were interesting, and that my viewers would like to see.
Hi Pan! I am the proud new owner of a Mazda CX-5 and I want to keep it in tip top shape. I purchased it on November 30th so the dealership washed and vacuumed it. But on that same day was a torrential downpour so my car is looking dirty on the outside. And of course I need to vacuum it too. What products would you say is the best to wash the exterior? Of course anyone can answer.
I enjoy using glass cleaner/repellant combo as a maintenance topper for my glass coating. I like to think of it as a sacrificial layer for the glass coating. Seems to work very well for me!
Man, I’ll be doing a full paint correction on my Golf R in a couple months, and I was going to coat it afterwards with MOHS… but now, D.Q Go is on my radar
I have a bottle of stoners new iron remover. Definitely no nasty smell like normal. It has a smell that reminds me of a few ingredients that they use in there glass cleaner. Very interesting product. Haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Pan, Love your full featured video content and your down-to-earth honest input and recommendations. What are your thoughts on products from Griot's Garage and do you have plans to review the following products Surface Prep Cleanser, Ceramic All-in-One Wax, Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax, and Ceramic Speed Shine?
Thanks! I already did many videos on Griot's Garage products and they're quite good. I have another one coming in December. The Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax was actually featured in my real world durability test where I applied 20 different paint protections on the same daily driven vehicle for a full year to see the results. It did super well. See part 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MoBTLpRFFw4.htmlsi=OcNyLAJ3PmEGt5xn
Hi Pan, you forgot to mention the new Lake Country Udos 31e 3 in one polisher! An improvement over the old 51e. Less weight quieter with better ergonomics!
There are many things I didn't cover as there was just too much hehe. I went with what I thought were some highlights for me, and what I know my viewers wanted to know most about.
Another good one Pan. Congrats for the researches & production. I agree with you for Griot's Garage car shampoo pods. I'm not sure. What is important for me is the product quality and properties. Do not have problems with dilution.. Useless product for week end warrior according to me. Also, can"t wait to try RS from Koch Chemie! Keep on the good work!
Definitely want to see you demonstrate and review the new EGO products! Man, I really want to the new iBrid polisher. I own the Mini iBrid kit and love it but, wow, big price tag on the full size polishers. Please review those as well so we can see if that cost is worth it.
It depends how bad the water spots. You can start with the rinseless wash or wash your car with a shampoo made to remove water spots (CarPro Descale) and see if that works. If not, move up to a water spot remover spray.
Hello Pan! I trust your family trip to Greece brought you much joy. I'm eager to witness the iron remover with no scent, even though it's a bit challenging to find such products here in the Czech Republic. Excited to see the latest offerings from Ego and Gyeon. Thanks for the insightful video and summary. Personally, I think a family trip to Greece tops Las Vegas any day! 🌍👨👩👧👦✈️
Pan, the Meguiars Ultimate Ceramic Coating referred to and its ability to 'tame down' the appearance of micro marring. There is already a product we are both familiar with and love that has this quality and I can totally vouch for its ability to deliver. That is Carpro's Cquartz 3.0. Its another quality of this product as a great all rounder and durable value for money ceramic coating.
Thanks for the information Pan. I preordered the new Rupes HLR15. I would like to know, what model E Go blower do you use to dry your cars? Keep informing us on new products and equipment.
This is my exact blower with the optional Blower Band nozzle protector and stubby nozzle: bit.ly/3AmJykV You can also get it here with a different stubby nozzle: bit.ly/3Qzi2sf Or just the regular version with no options on Amazon here: amzn.to/3QCnjPD
Pan, I would like to know what products professional details use on rubber seals, I have a 2017 C7 Corvette with the targa top and would like to how maintain the rubber seals.
Hi Glenn. On rubber seals (like door jambs) this is what I like to use: amzn.to/3Zki9dv You can see me use it in my door jambs cleaning tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0yu6AJcopG8.htmlsi=i-RlqONy3PVfUvuq I hope this helps!
Pan, have you ever tested any equipment from Big Boi? I wonder how their pressure washers compare and test with others. Thanks for all your content and information!!
Yes I have one of their blowers which I tested here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4up2Atg4ks0.htmlsi=hw6ydsWPiHGHmJ7o But I haven’t tested their pressure washers. They seem new to market.
Car pro claims on their website there no sacrifice in durability or hardness between D.Quartz go and the professional version so what is the difference between them?
Great video as always Pan! I’m excited to see the Koch chemie descaling shampoo. I do have a question about descaling shampoo like carpro descale, I have a coated Tacoma with Avalon shield, and I was wondering if is safe to use carpro descale? My coating is going strong for a year and I wanted to do a maintenance (descaling) wash for water spots that I have seen on my truck. Please let me know. Thank you! Have a great rest of your week.
Thanks! Assuming the coating is still doing well, yes CarPro Descale should be safe for use. Of course, CarPro formulated it for use on their coatings, but I have used Descale on many other coating brands and it works well. Just keep in mind you don't use Descale for regular weekly washes. Reset is made for weekly washes. Descale is for "as needed" basis, meaning when you see a bit of light water spots or mineral deposits, basically for a decon wash. It's a good first step to remove water spots. If the water spots are still there, it means they started etching the clear coat and you need to ramp up the aggression level by going to a water spot remover (like CarPro Spotless 2.0) and if that still doesn't work, then it's machine polishing.
I can't wait to see your review on the 3.0 replacement. I know that 3.0 with SIC was your go to and therefore it was mine. I'm really curious if you'll be switching to the new D.Quartz or the Cerakote you praised so much in your previous video.
I don't compare professional grade coatings (Cerakote) to consumer grade (DQuartz GO). The Cerakote's direct competitor would be more the pro grade version of DQuartz, which costs significantly more, and you need to be a CarPro certified installer to purchase those coatings. But yes, I'm looking forward to test the consumer version called DQuartz GO. And see if it's better than their current CQuartz UK 3.0 or consumer grade coatings from competitors like Gyeon Mohs or Gtechniq CSL.
I just saw their video testing DQuartz go in an automatic carwash. Quite impressive abrasion resistance. I will be applying it to my cars this summer and I'll be sure to share the results. As always I appreciate your response and the amazing content. @@PanTheOrganizer
I’m thinking I’ll buy the Carpro DQ go. I polished my vehicle today with my new Rupes mk lll thanks to your videos giving me the confidence to go at it. I’ll be putting on the Duraslic HG ceramic coating tomorrow. The Carpro DQ go will be going on my other vehicle.
We don't know when DQ GO will be released officially in North America. It's anyone's guess at this point as there is no official release date confirmed. The CarPro US website says "coming soon".
Thank you for your review of the RUPES Ibrid tools. I was looking for you at SEMA but now I know you were not there. Good on you for taking good care of yourself with a vacation. Reminder for all...Ibrid is a sub=brand for RUPES that means the tool can run on battery or plug in a cord adaptor. This means it is not only a cordless battery tool. It is both corded and cordless. User option.
Correct. It would have been great to see you again in person Jason! I hope you're doing well. I'm looking forward to trying out these new Rupes polishers as soon as they are released.
Thank you Pan! Some interesting new things coming out, very curious on the Koch Chemi Reactivation. Looking forward to your reviews on some of these products.
Great vid as usual Pan. Those Cordless Products from Ego sounds very interesting especially the pressure washer would love to see how that one performs.
Talking to Meguiar's at sema got to speak to Mike, he said the spray coating is good for a year or more 🫡 Also missed their new sio2 polishing compound. Good cut with sio2 protection is going to be HUGE for detailers
There's a reason for that. I wouldn't recommend them. No serious detailing channel has ever said anything good about their products. Here's a perfect example of what you can expect from F11: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jYa4vSubHrE.htmlsi=3qthC0b_rYY5Nm61
Hey Pan completely random question I’m from Laval Quebec and I’m trying to find a company to come install a deionized water system for my house garage to be able to wash my car without getting those water spots… any suggestions since I know you have one thanks a lot 😊
No need to find someone to do that. You can save a ton of money, as there's a simple DIY kit that connect directly to your garden hose or water supply. Easy setup. See my video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IKNL1chAQXY.htmlsi=2qZC0m5jUpigsCEb
Hello Pan merci pour ta video j aimerais tellement aller une fois dans ma vie au SEMA quand je regarde les video ca a l air incroyable merci toujours au top avec ta comunaute
Merci Sebastien! C'est en effet le plus gros show relié à l'industrie de la voiture. C'est des kilomètres et des kilomètres d'exposants, dans différentes bâtisses. Ça prend des journées faire le tour.
Hey, Pan. I'm looking into starting a detailing business in the coming months. Being a college student, do you think this is something that can be done heavily during the summer months, and on a smaller scale as I relocate to campus in a different area? I'm slightly concerned about investing time this spring and summer growing, just to disappear on my customers. I guess what I'm asking is detailing a viable venture in a seasonal time frame? Is there any way you would recommend going about this? Thanks, big fan of the content.

Usually you don't want hydrophobics on the interior glass, as the fogging can start to condense and that water to trickle on your interior surfaces. So on interior glass, I prefer normal glass cleaners with no repellents in them.
Pan... when were you in Greece? My wife and I were in Athens on October 11th and 12th. We were having lunch at Dionysos Zonar's at the Acropolis and I could have sworn I saw you.
Winter weather is here and the idea of a rinseless wash has me wondering what product you like. The new one coming from Griot’s compared to the others.
The stoner iron remover is the most innovative imo (maybe meguires if it turns out to be new and crazy). I’m not able to decontaminate or do deep wheel cleaning all winter in my garage because I can’t stand the smell. I ordered the new stuff and it works great. I have a suspicion that it actually works as a mineral deposits/water spot remover as well because when I just sprayed and rinsed it brought so much beading back to my paint/wheels which typically doesn’t happen with an iron remover alone. I may have to find a car with water spots to test that. A two in one decontamination product that doesn’t smell is worth the slightly higher price they are demanding.
$900 bucks! Yikes! Does that come with a lifetime free replacement if it break or wear out? Or is it just another tool that are just gonna be easily replace by a newer tool after about a year. I just can't see myself spending that kind of money for a tool that a cheaper tools can do just as good at 80% cheaper.
Its only being released as a full kit at first for $735. Pre Orders are up at clean garage, detailed image, McKees37, and a few other sites currently. Eventually they will release it with battery and charger only.
That's weird. The Clean Garage has the 15mm kit for 735 usd and the 21mm kit for 760 usd. I've already pre-ordered the 15mm kit from them as soon as they announced it.
I love your show/ channel Pan. I would love to see you review autoglym and zymol and a glass coating company called Modesta. Thanks again for the AMAZING content.
@pantheorganizer Been watching for a while. My girlfriend leaned over to check what I was watching and she blurted out “BRUV he looks just like Peter krause!” My God man you do.
What a proper professional... His dedication to the industry and help us weekend warriors is simply second to none... Well done Pan. Much respect from Scotland 🏴. X
I am really keen to learn more about the Gyeon purify range. If it is environmentally sustainable I would be changing over to them for the entire range going forward!
@PanTheOrganizer I did. I hope you enjoyed your time in Greece. Looked amazing! You deserved a holiday. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on SEMA. I wouldn't be able to attend yet. But I'm not sure if I would based on all the information I have heard about detailing products. Thank you Pan! Have a great weekend
I have a cordless flex 15mm throw Looking for cordless 21mm! The Rupes looks great, interested to know the performance ie strength of pad rotation/torque perhaps compared to my flex.
Everyone I know that was able to test the Rupes cordless polishers in person said they were freaking amazing, so I'm looking forward to testing them myself. I placed my pre-order as soon as it was made available. :)
This year the public could purchase a pass for the last day on Friday! I attended for the 1st time. Unfortunately the pass was sold along with the after party SEMA Fest ticket which we didn’t attend.
hey pen hope u had a nice vacation. Do u plan to do a indeep video on the ceracoat ceramic coating ? I would like if u could make a vid about it when u review it at home on a dark colored car to see it better and also how it would react to sprinkling water and chemiicals.And how to maintain it the best. Also compereson against other ceramics. since till now u r the onlyone who made a vid about it. i orderd the promotion pack but couldnt aply it yet.
Yes I have been testing the Cerakote coating, and plan on making a more in depth review and demo for sure! And I'm happy I was the first to talk about it, as it was an exclusive video for my channel. I'm always honoured when brands offer me dibs to be the first to talk about something cool.
I saw in a video they mentioned it can take a few minutes to dissolve even in a bucket, so they recommend starting with that in the bucket, then do the rest of your prep for setting up the pressure washer and other stuff, and then come back to start your wash, it should be dissolved by then, and also using warm water accelerates the dissolving process. But for a foam cannon, I guess we'll have to wait and see. I don't see how that thing can quickly dissolve in such a small volume of water...
