PPE rule I learnt from engineering, if you won’t drink or eat the product - wear appropriate gloves. If you’re not using the product as your eye drop - wear protective googles. If you won’t listen to the machine as music in full volume - wear ear protection. If you won’t use the product as perfume - wear a suitable mask.

Great tips Pan! Your videos are helping me getting through this tough time. Unfortunately my Grandpa passed away on Wednesday and watching your videos has truly helped me out so much! Thank you Pan, for easing my pain and sorrow🙏🏻

I bought a new truck a couple years ago. Always followed Pan's recommendations and approved products. I went to ceramic coat my truck last week. Checked the hood for scratches and swirls with a detail light. Nope . None. Thanks to Pan's tutorials it looks as good as the day it rolled off the car lot.

Pan, Another excellent informative video. One tip to convey is when using a power washer ALWAYS test the sprayer away from the vehicle when changing tips. This will ensure that if the attachment is not securely locked in place and you apply the trigger the attachment will go away from the vehicle preventing any damage from occurring. Joyeux Noel

Great video as always Pan! One detailing mistake I learned was during the claying process, do not apply so much pressure. Another mistake I learned was do not detail a new fresh coat of paint vehicle. Must let the clear coat dry for at least 3 months.

Great tips. Immediately address bird droppings and bug guts. I always carry a quick detailer and micro fiber in my car for these occasions. Then I wash the car the first moment I get.

When doing a rinseless wash, ALWAYS pre-treat the section your working on. Doesn't matter the wash media (grout sponge, BRS or soaking edgeless microfiber towels) because you wanna break down that dust/dirt/muck first so it comes to the surface to be wiped away👍👍

Good afternoon, Pan.
I have no words to thank you. I carefully watched the video. I wrote down every detail. You have excellent teaching skills. His "classes" are very well illustrated and the content is excellent. The impression I have is that you are a meticulous and thorough guy. That is great!
Now that I have just defended my doctoral thesis in Medical Sciences at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, I can resume my hobby. I will definitely be watching your latest videos to update my knowledge. Pan, you are one of the people who has helped to write the history of automotive aesthetics around the world. I don't know if you have this perception, but this is a fact. Thank you so much for all the content you've been sharing with us.
I wish you and your family a blessed and successful weekend.

WOW Pan! I’ve learned so much from you! I do most if not ALL of your 20 Tips to include the products.

Great video. My tip: To easily remove bug splatter just leave a soaking wet towel on the front of your car for 10-15 min. This will soften up the bug splatter so you can remove them with minimum force during pre wash .

Hey Pan, Kevin here in NJ, USA. I just purchased my dream car. 2019 Challenger in Blue...THIS video and all the others I've watched on your channel are absolutely awesome. I've learned SO much from your videos that I apply them to my new vehicle purchase. Everything I've done in the past was totally wrong, but I've changed my car detailing ways since subscribing to your channel. I've invested in alot of products suggested by you...foam cannon, micro fiber towels, detail sprays and more. I literally used a foam cannon for the first time today using the Turtle was wash and it was amazing. Thank you for putting out these videos because I can assure you that those that listen, learn alot...as I have. My neighbors actually were in awe on how my car looked today using the products that YOU suggest. I'd love to share a photo of my car if you'd provide me with a way to do that. Cheers to your success in both the car detailing market as well as this channel. Big fan here! I'm considering starting my own detailing biz on the side to generate more income. Thanks again Pan. Cheers!

Just want to point out that dust-masks won’t really protect you against fumes (which are vapor molecules). Vapor goes right through dust masks, which are meant for filtering particulate matter. If you’re dealing with nasty vapors, a cartridge respirator for chemical-filtration, and/or good ventilation exhaust fans for the area are your best bets. Love your videos!

[tredfxman]

Best tip that was new for me here was to degrease the tires before applying tire dressing to make it last longer! Thanks Pan! 👍

[AnakinsDetailing]

Just opened up a Mobile Detailing business! Have been detailing for different companies and now it's my turn to make all the money!! you are my favorite YouTuber!! I love your videos ! even as a professional detailer I still look back at your videos to make sure I'm up to date on the latest and greatest! PAN THE ORGANIZER !!

[randyrockwell]

Excellent video, full of great information, Pan! The one that stands out to me is #3 ….. use the proper amount of product and do not over apply!! The old adage of “if a little is good … more will be better” is definitely wrong. This is a tough habit to break 😞

Tip 21: be rich so you can afford to do everything the right way

Once again, Pan, a well done, informative video. This should be classified among your "intro to detailing" or "detailing basics" videos. Great overview and reminder video.

[somebb]

Ouch. Here in Florida, everytime you drive you end up with a ton of bug guts. Washing or wiping your daily driver multiple times a day every day is not sustainable.
