Great information Pan, love your technique with applying and removing the wax. Just like you said a lot of people try to put too much on and it is very difficult to remove once it drys! Great advice about not waxing in the sun or on a warm panel. Keep up the great videos Pan.
Thanks! Yup, as much as I love ceramic coatings, some people don’t want the added complexity or the extra time needed to coat a car, so a nice coat of wax is perfect for them.
Perfect timing on the new video pan, we actually have sunshine this week here in the UK. Great tip as well for applying a sealant to the paint before giving it a coat of wax. Wouldn’t have given it any thought. It’s normally cleaned, glazed and then sealed and that’s my lot. Going to give your tip a try tomorrow and wax it after I have got some sealant down. 👍
So I used a bunch of your suggestions and recommended products... I bought the soap the IPA prep the paint sealant and the liquid wax! I spent quite a few hours working on my 2018 M550i! Turned out fantastic!!! As soon as the sealant went on and buffed off I could tell the paint was like glass the wax just locked it in! I’m going to keep up this routine but this is got me thinking about maybe trying to do my own ceramic job! Thanks Pan!
Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for your support of my channel. If you're looking into ceramic coating your own car, you're in luck! I have the most popular ceramic coating tutorial on CZcams (over 4.2 million views!) here: czcams.com/video/byKcYsEyWGk/video.html
Thank you for taking time to talk about wax. I know the trend is more for ceramic coatings, but traditional wax and sealants aare great options, too. I like Meguiars Ultimate and plan to try Finish Kare this summer.
Thanks! Yes this was the objective. I love ceramic coatings, but for some people, it's a bit too complicated and takes more time. So I thought I'd share the basics of paint protection: a great coat of wax. :). Perfect for quickly protecting the paint against the elements, getting a couple of months of protection, great beading and great shine.
Thanks bro for this video, no one can just be straight forward on how to wax, they’re always trying to sell a product. Really useful video for all the first time wax guys.

just bought a new car and have spent more time watching your channel than driving my audi. can't wait to buy all the recommended products. I'm from Toronto, looking you up next time I drive to the 514. cheers! Mac.
Very informative and knowledge video Pan. Some wax can be remove right after you apply it and you got to be careful because some can stain plastic trim so tape it. Also some wax are call cleaner wax which they can remove scratch.
You are AWESOME ! I am sooooooooooooooo intimidated by all of the products and tools. Two quick questions: what is the difference between waxing your car and polishing it? Also, I bought a DA to remove the wax. I must put too much on and it was extremely difficult to remove it so I thought the DA "buffs" the wax.
Polishing the paint if removing defects such as scratches and swirls, remove oxidation, and restore depth and gloss to the paintwork. That’s why they call polishing “paint correction” because you correct paint. In polishing, they have two categories: compounds and polishes. Compounds are for bigger and deeper scratches and polishes are the finishing stages of paint correction to improve clarity and gloss. Once you’re done polishing, you now have to protect the paintwork by using your choice of a wax, paint sealant or ceramic coating. Remove waxes by hand buffing, not machine polishing. If you find it hard to remove, you’re either putting way too much wax on or using a cheap wax. I hope that answers your questions.
Aahhh I love how you do your intro. PAAAAAAN the organizer! Gets me all stoked to go clean something. I’m a recovering super slob (*cough*hoarder*cough*), and your channel helps me out a ton while I’m trying to get my act together. Thanks! ✌️
Good and informative as always! Just bought meguiars ultimate paste wax and will try it for the first time on my new car this weekend. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Olle!! Just remember to apply a super thin coat and to work in the shade on a cool surface, and you'll love the results. ;) What car do you drive by the way?
Pan TheOrganizer yes will do! Nothing fancy. Just bought a 2018 Skoda Octavia Estate metallic quartz grey for my wife. I drive a Volvo thats a couple of years old! Im more of guy who loves to maintain and clean the cars than spending alot of money on nice cars, as much as I would like to, the family and house has to go first! :)

I always learn from your videos Pan. I wondered why you apply a sealant as well as a wax, and learned in this video that it extends the protection beyond a wax's 1 to 3 months. Thanks for being so succinct - I find that I watch some of your videos multiple times because they are so chock full of information! Question: I love waxing my car and wonder if there's any benefit to multiple coats?
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback. Layering coats of wax isn’t necessary, but does add a bit more depth to the reflection. I wouldn’t apply more than 2 coats.
Hi Pan, I found your video when I went looking for help waxing a vehicle. I think I've been applying my liquid wax too thick, because it still looks streaky after I've tried to wipe off the dry wax. Thanks for the info, and thanks for the product suggestions. I hope you can answer some questions: 1. How heavy is the mechanical waxer? Is it hard to hold for long periods of time? 2. Will this work on my fiberglass RV? It's older and not painted like a car. It has peeling decals on aging whitish fiberglass. Would a paint sealant even work on unpainted fiberglass? 3. I've been told I can remove some stains by buffing them out with wax. So far I've not been able to achieve that by hand. Would the mechanical waxer make a difference? 4. Which of your videos covers removing blemishes? Thanks for any help you can give me.
Thanks much Pan, big fan of your videos. I waxed my car and missed a spot when buffing so now I have some hardened wax that won't come off, what can I do to correct that? Compound?
Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use czcams.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

Hi, Pan! You have a great channel! I always enjoy watching it! Couple questions for you : what do you think about NuFinish wax and have you ever cleaned the engine bay on electric cars? Thanks.
Thanks Yuri! Nu Finish is a cheap big box store polish. Nothing I would use. For my favourite sealant and wax combo, check out a video I made: czcams.com/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/video.html
Really impressed with the Obssssd sealant. Used it once in the summer and was less than impressed, read instruction, and did a proper IPA wipe before applying and low and behold it works absolutely amazing. Still seeing excellent beading and sheeting 4 months after, including horrid weather from January on in Southern Ontario.
Hi Shawn. Yeah the OBSSSSD sealant is the real deal as far as sealants are concerned. Some of the cars I applied it to are still beading after 7 months including our super harsh Quebec winter that we had, and which is still ongoing. I hate winter! :)
You got me at 7:02. I just put a paste wax by hand on my car and it was awful. Very streaky. I put it on too thick! And I started wiping it before it was fully dry. I have waxed many cars in my life when I was younger, but I made a big Boo Boo today.

Hey! Great video! Thank you very much for this tutorial, although I have a question. On which parts of a car is it allowed to apply wax? Can I wax windshield, plastic parts, headlights or anything else? Or only on a car's paint? Thank you, have a good day!
Thanks! Typically, you wax painted surfaces only, to avoid residue on plastics or trim. You can certainly apply wax to your headlights and tail lights, it helps protect them against UV rays and that yellowing effect, and some also apply wax to glass surfaces, although glass sealants are better for that task. Question for you: how did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer 0 sec. I always follow your channel! It is really good and informative! I love that you answer to everybody in comments section. You deserve more subscribers! One of the best CZcams Channels!

@@PanTheOrganizer I staring watching your video years ago, today after watch your video I waxed my car and the result was great. I following you on other digital platforms
Great channel Pan, have watched most of your videos and learned quite a lot! I've just polished and waxed my car today (by hand!) using Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. Looks brand new! I've got two questions, what's your take on applying wax by hand using microfiber applicator pad VS foam applicator? And the next is if you've tried Autoglym SRP and your experience on it? Thanks for a great channel!
Pan TheOrganizer alright, thanks for the quick reply! I've been leaning towards MF applicators due to the, in my experience, the lower risk on swirls, but that may be because of dirt still on the paint.
Yes you can absolutely apply paste or liquid waxes with a dual action polisher, as long as you use a super soft pad (no cutting) and low speed on your polisher (speed 1 or 2). And you would buff off using a microfiber towel.
Pan: Is it ok to wax after claying followed by ceramic spray? I'm wondering if the ceramic spray adds anything to the freshly applied wax. Any advice is appreciated. Great video as usual.
I have a SUV , parked it under a "tunnel of trees" all summer... its 12 years old a few dings someone gave to me ... he didn't want to part with it but you know... wives... did some body work and now I am washing and waxing from the top down... got a ladder and look at roof... all covered with sap and and residue from trees.... but washes off easily thank God... Thanks for tips on waxing... I would have waxed in the sun.. have memories as a kid waxing Dad's car like that... no garage so back to "tunnel of trees".

@@PanTheOrganizer Howzit , thanks for writing me... I did a search for 'How to properly wax car" on CZcams and you came up in top 2 or 3... I thought this guy looks pretty cool. The car is well over 10 years old , but very sound mechanically . An observation that may help your viewers: If they have SUV or similar vehicle where you really can't see upper roof exterior of car... After I washed off all the residue and organic debris of the tress... I noticed little specks of rust... about a dozen or so , real small a 1/4 of a grain of rice or less...at first I thought it was organic debris (i was going to wax) Instead , I hit each speck of rust with some 400 grit sand paper , wiped down with paint thinner and spray painted with as close as a match of color as I could find , I don't care about looks as much as the holes that rust will eat in the roof in no time as I live in the sub tropics near the sea... But yeah climb up there and have a look now and again . Even a new car can get damage from road debris like sand and gravel when cruising at higher speeds. I must have picked over 50 tiny pebbles from the radiator "gills" with a tooth pick to give an idea of just how much debris is flying a round out there.. CHECK YOUR ROOF ! For sure this a "Stitch in time..." thing. After paint cures... I will wax . Good channel... I subbed... thanks for your help.
Hi Pan. Great channel! I'm new to your channel and haven't gone through all the videos yet. I was wondering about the best way to fully clean the microfiber towels after waxing? I noticed my washer doesn't always get out all the wax residue. I would also like to humbly add for people that have to wash and wax outside- be careful on windy days. The wind can carry contaminants that put micro scratches when you dry or wax the vehicle. Living in South Florida is a challenge with all the sand flying around on windy days.

Thanks again, and thanks for doing this channel. Extremely helpful! I'm sure everyone I know will hate you because your videos are teaching me even more ways to obsess about detailing my vehicle. LMAO! I love this stuff!
The best protection you can actually get is a ceramic coating. Those last for years, instead for a few months like traditional carnauba waxes. Here's my tutorial on applying a ceramic coating: czcams.com/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/video.html Welcome to my channel.

@@PanTheOrganizer i am from india. Recently i purchase car. On you tube i start search regarding coating like ceramic etc. Then i found your cermaic wax demonstrations video. I watch your many video then become your fan due to explanation, video skills, detailing skills, extreme knowledge of detailing products. In free time i usually watch your video. I have learn lot of thing from your videos.
Pan TheOrganizer, got a cls 550 and decided that I wanted to keep it in mint condition so I started to research about detailing, etc. Started to watch CZcams videos and yours came up, I think it was one of the ceramic videos that popped up.
Great show Pan...I do have a request, could you do a review on the silver max products. Being from Ontario my french is not fluent! All the you tube vids about this product are in french. Thanks for your time. Keep up the good work.
Thanks George! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we're about to surpass 750,000 subscribers and 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 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. How did you discover my channel by the way?
@PanTheOrganizer why when I wash my car and put the Turtle seal and shine after a few days the car collects dust? What could I do for the car not to collect dust.
Thanks for instructive film and great channel! I'm a beginner in this field but have been using the Simoniz carnauba wax for some time. This has been very hard work, so i wonder, do you know this wax, and if so, do you suggest the same procedure for this as in the video? Or, could the Simoniz be harder than other waxes, so that application requires more attention to moisture, or temperature for example?
Simoniz isn’t that good. For a better experience, more gloss and ease of application, watch my favourite sealant/wax combo video here: czcams.com/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/video.html
@@PanTheOrganizer By the way. How do you assess the quality of the products you use. For example, in terms of wax's ability to protect, do you measure this more systematically, or is it general impression over time? In case of Simoniz, i got curious, what makes it not so good? If not covered elsewhere, could how to assess products be a theme for a future video?
New to detailing and I just found your channel. I watched your guide on the steps to wash a car. Quick question. You don't mention on that video waxing. If I am applying wax should that be done before a quick detail? In that other video you mention to use the quick detail while drying so I was not sure when you would do that step if applying wax. Thanks a lot for the awesome videos!
That video was just a car wash tutorial. Not how to decontaminate, polish, or wax the vehicle. You would wash your car, dry it (it doesn't matter if you use a quick detailer or not before waxing), and then you apply the wax. I highly recommend that you watch my Detailing 101 series for beginners, where I explain different steps like iron removers, clay bar, polishing, protection, etc. It's super simple once you understand the basics, and your car will look and feel 100x better!

Great informative video, Pan. Thanks. I noticed that you didn't mention any of the Optimum products, neither sealant nor liquid wax. Is it because you think all the other products you mentioned in the video perform better?
Thanks Michael! For the Optimum products, they are great. Their OPT spray wax is very good. I just couldn't possibly name all the waxes I like in this video, that wasn't the goal. I have hundreds and hundreds of different products (if you watch my videos, you know what I mean lol) so I just take a selection for each video. This was more a tutorial on proper application methods. ;)
Of course, I am. Since November 2017, I think. Pan, do you think it would be of interest to many of your subscribers, especially those are less experienced (like myself) to learn how to do paint correction at home with minimal investment? I'm new to this and would like to start taking care of my car by myself, but I'm hesitant to shell out $200+ for a DA polisher in addition to about $150-$200 in washing products that I've already bought.
Yes it would be super. One usually starts with an entry level polisher like a Porter Cable 7424XP or Griot's Garage 6 in DA polisher, Harbor Freight, etc. and you learn the basics well and eventually move up to a big boy Flex 3401 or Rupes LHR15 MK II. Paint can look soooooo much better once properly polished (compound and polish).
😊 I have a black car I really what the breaker to be as glossy as possible what is the best way to make this happen. There are so many options from waxing detail spray quick detail spray wet coat ceramic spray graphene spray, I usually use water sport remover after of you times of rain. Is using wax could be the best option?
Hi Pan The Organizer! I just found your channel and am geeking out. I never have been diligent about home washing/detailing but want to start. In another video you mentioned TurtleWax Ice Sealant. I've got a question: do you primarily use wax or sealant...or both? The number of products and processes are intimidating and I am trying to form a basic game plan for keeping my vehicle in good shape. Thanks!
My favourite paint protectants are ceramic coatings, but those need a bit more experience to apply. For basic protection, a good way is to apply a base layer of a paint sealant, and a top layer of a wax. I talk about a good combo in this video: czcams.com/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/video.html
I don’t know about a DA polisher. I know that you can get a soap like chemical guys clean slate or dishwashing soap (anything that isn’t PH neutral) to strip off the wax.
Another great video, recently going over a number of videos of yours to get better knowledge of detailing. I'm planning on a polish and wax to my which got delivered last week. Also looking to use meguairs ceramic hybrid wax as an other coat. After a coating of paste wax is there any curing period better applying the ceramic hybrid wax

G'Day Pan. After watching one of your video's the other day I ended up buying The NV Luster. Fantastic product. Spoke to the boys at waxit and told them how impressed I was with there products. I'm always looking looking for high end products. Pan you have been in this game awhile now and you seem to know your stuff. Now I'm wanting to give Swissvax Onyx ago. Like I said I was impressed with your video on the MV Luster. Does Onyx out shine luster? Would like to know before I purchase the Swissvax Onyx.
Hi Pan quick question Im want to use the Meguiar's G18216 Ultimate Liquid Wax on my new car I asked dealer to just wash it after car is decontaminated with following ur steps how can I apply this particular wax with sponge or microfiber applicator and can I do the whole car or has to be done by sections and then after wax done I use paint prep again and then I can apply turtle wax graphene flex ? Or I don’t really need to wax just the graphene ? Thank you for all your help
Your a great teacher pan thank you so much What is your favourite wax and what works well with swissvax as a sealant For winter and summer Thank you once again
Hi Pan. love your videos. Watching and learning more than I ever expected. Random question. I have a glossy road bike. Is it okay to follow the same steps (clay bar, compound, polish and wax) on my bike???

Hi Pan! Greetings from Norway 😊. Thank you for all your tutorial videos, it has taught me a lot and makes me more comfortable doing work om my cars i used to let workshops do for me 👍. I have a very special car that i only drive occasionally and when the weather is nice. Of course, the weather gods can be full of surprises so she can handle rain if it occurs. I like to keep her spotless and wash almost after each time. The paint is something called diavolo red and is just amazing what ever light hits. I polish maybe every third year and top with swisswax chrystal rock wich gives an nice and rich dept. My question is: when i see your videos you explain and teach lik all cars have a lot of decontamination and the cleaning prosess is very comprehensive. World it be ok after inspecting the paint to just top of with a new layer of wax to simplify and still have a good protection and great look to the paint?
I can’t find a vid of re-wax your car. Do I apply on top of old wax? Strip the old wax? How? Redo the clay bar, polish? All of that issues? Pls make that vid. Big Thanks.
If the paint needs claying, you would clay. Wash the car and feel the paint. Especially in the lower parts of the vehicle. If it feels gritty or rough, it’s time to clay. Once every three months or as needed based on iron contamination (brake dust) use an iron remover. You reapply a fresh coat of wax when you reach the end of the claimed lifespan of your specific wax (for example if the manufacturer claims 3 months durability, it’s a good idea to reapply after two months to be safe). Or, if you see the hydrophobics starting to diminish, you can reapply. No need to strip off the old wax before applying a new layer, unless you are changing types of wax and want the full effect of the new one.
Hello from Chicago: several questions: 1). Do you have a Colinite 915 review? You dialed me onto Colinite 845. Have you used Colinite915? 2.).Can it be be used with Jescar Powe/Ulta Lock? Or, is it best used alone? 3). Glossmeters, what do you recommend. I already have Jescar PowerLock, UltraLock, and Colinite 845. Can you connect me with links on recommended glossmeters or videos of glossmeters? If you have a link to Colinite 915, send it so when I order, you get credit. Thanks again!

ha... The 2-step bucket method right?
Great information Pan, love your technique with applying and removing the wax. Just like you said a lot of people try to put too much on and it is very difficult to remove once it drys! Great advice about not waxing in the sun or on a warm panel. Keep up the great videos Pan.
Thanks! Yup, as much as I love ceramic coatings, some people don’t want the added complexity or the extra time needed to coat a car, so a nice coat of wax is perfect for them.
just subscribed and hit the thumps up!!! so far your the only one who explain very well process
Thanks Cesar! I appreciate it!

Perfect timing on the new video pan, we actually have sunshine this week here in the UK. Great tip as well for applying a sealant to the paint before giving it a coat of wax. Wouldn’t have given it any thought. It’s normally cleaned, glazed and then sealed and that’s my lot. Going to give your tip a try tomorrow and wax it after I have got some sealant down. 👍
Awesome!
So I used a bunch of your suggestions and recommended products... I bought the soap the IPA prep the paint sealant and the liquid wax! I spent quite a few hours working on my 2018 M550i! Turned out fantastic!!! As soon as the sealant went on and buffed off I could tell the paint was like glass the wax just locked it in! I’m going to keep up this routine but this is got me thinking about maybe trying to do my own ceramic job! Thanks Pan!
Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for your support of my channel. If you're looking into ceramic coating your own car, you're in luck! I have the most popular ceramic coating tutorial on CZcams (over 4.2 million views!) here: czcams.com/video/byKcYsEyWGk/video.html
Thank you for taking time to talk about wax. I know the trend is more for ceramic coatings, but traditional wax and sealants aare great options, too. I like Meguiars Ultimate and plan to try Finish Kare this summer.
Thanks! Yes this was the objective. I love ceramic coatings, but for some people, it's a bit too complicated and takes more time. So I thought I'd share the basics of paint protection: a great coat of wax. :). Perfect for quickly protecting the paint against the elements, getting a couple of months of protection, great beading and great shine.

How was the Finish Kare?
I’m curious.

I know right? For me, I love waxing every 1-2 months. It’s like zen therapy for me.
just bought a new car and have spent more time watching your channel than driving my audi. can't wait to buy all the recommended products. I'm from Toronto, looking you up next time I drive to the 514. cheers! Mac.
Congrats on your new car! Which model did you get? I once had a 2013 Audi S5 in glacier white and loved it! :)
Very informative and knowledge video Pan. Some wax can be remove right after you apply it and you got to be careful because some can stain plastic trim so tape it. Also some wax are call cleaner wax which they can remove scratch.
Thanks for help, tomorrow I am going to apply wax on client's truck.
🙏🙏
You are AWESOME ! I am sooooooooooooooo intimidated by all of the products and tools. Two quick questions: what is the difference between waxing your car and polishing it? Also, I bought a DA to remove the wax. I must put too much on and it was extremely difficult to remove it so I thought the DA "buffs" the wax.
Polishing the paint if removing defects such as scratches and swirls, remove oxidation, and restore depth and gloss to the paintwork. That’s why they call polishing “paint correction” because you correct paint.
In polishing, they have two categories: compounds and polishes. Compounds are for bigger and deeper scratches and polishes are the finishing stages of paint correction to improve clarity and gloss.
Once you’re done polishing, you now have to protect the paintwork by using your choice of a wax, paint sealant or ceramic coating.
Remove waxes by hand buffing, not machine polishing. If you find it hard to remove, you’re either putting way too much wax on or using a cheap wax.
I hope that answers your questions.
Aahhh I love how you do your intro. PAAAAAAN the organizer! Gets me all stoked to go clean something.
I’m a recovering super slob (*cough*hoarder*cough*), and your channel helps me out a ton while I’m trying to get my act together. Thanks! ✌️

Good and informative as always! Just bought meguiars ultimate paste wax and will try it for the first time on my new car this weekend. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Olle!! Just remember to apply a super thin coat and to work in the shade on a cool surface, and you'll love the results. ;)
What car do you drive by the way?
Pan TheOrganizer yes will do! Nothing fancy. Just bought a 2018 Skoda Octavia Estate metallic quartz grey for my wife. I drive a Volvo thats a couple of years old! Im more of guy who loves to maintain and clean the cars than spending alot of money on nice cars, as much as I would like to, the family and house has to go first! :)
I use the colinite insulator wax in the lineup it makes paint look wet. Best wax I've used
Yup I agree! It gives off a superb glow too and a depth in the reflection. Awesome stuff!

Searching about the subject
I always learn from your videos Pan. I wondered why you apply a sealant as well as a wax, and learned in this video that it extends the protection beyond a wax's 1 to 3 months. Thanks for being so succinct - I find that I watch some of your videos multiple times because they are so chock full of information!
Question: I love waxing my car and wonder if there's any benefit to multiple coats?
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback. Layering coats of wax isn’t necessary, but does add a bit more depth to the reflection. I wouldn’t apply more than 2 coats.

Hi Pan, I found your video when I went looking for help waxing a vehicle. I think I've been applying my liquid wax too thick, because it still looks streaky after I've tried to wipe off the dry wax. Thanks for the info, and thanks for the product suggestions.
I hope you can answer some questions:
1. How heavy is the mechanical waxer? Is it hard to hold for long periods of time?
2. Will this work on my fiberglass RV? It's older and not painted like a car. It has peeling decals on aging whitish fiberglass. Would a paint sealant even work on unpainted fiberglass?
3. I've been told I can remove some stains by buffing them out with wax. So far I've not been able to achieve that by hand. Would the mechanical waxer make a difference?
4. Which of your videos covers removing blemishes?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Thanks much Pan, big fan of your videos. I waxed my car and missed a spot when buffing so now I have some hardened wax that won't come off, what can I do to correct that? Compound?
Great video, very informative thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Rey! :)

Hi, Pan!

Thanks.
Thanks Yuri! Nu Finish is a cheap big box store polish. Nothing I would use.
For my favourite sealant and wax combo, check out a video I made: czcams.com/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/video.html
Really impressed with the Obssssd sealant. Used it once in the summer and was less than impressed, read instruction, and did a proper IPA wipe before applying and low and behold it works absolutely amazing. Still seeing excellent beading and sheeting 4 months after, including horrid weather from January on in Southern Ontario.
Hi Shawn. Yeah the OBSSSSD sealant is the real deal as far as sealants are concerned. Some of the cars I applied it to are still beading after 7 months including our super harsh Quebec winter that we had, and which is still ongoing. I hate winter! :)
I impressed with your presentation. everything discuss in short and easy way. you are a good teacher too as well as a professional skilled person.
You got me at 7:02. I just put a paste wax by hand on my car and it was awful. Very streaky. I put it on too thick! And I started wiping it before it was fully dry. I have waxed many cars in my life when I was younger, but I made a big Boo Boo today.

Hey! Great video! Thank you very much for this tutorial, although I have a question. On which parts of a car is it allowed to apply wax? Can I wax windshield, plastic parts, headlights or anything else? Or only on a car's paint? Thank you, have a good day!
Thanks! Typically, you wax painted surfaces only, to avoid residue on plastics or trim. You can certainly apply wax to your headlights and tail lights, it helps protect them against UV rays and that yellowing effect, and some also apply wax to glass surfaces, although glass sealants are better for that task.

Great channel Pan, have watched most of your videos and learned quite a lot! I've just polished and waxed my car today (by hand!) using Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. Looks brand new!
I've got two questions, what's your take on applying wax by hand using microfiber applicator pad VS foam applicator? And the next is if you've tried Autoglym SRP and your experience on it?
Thanks for a great channel!
Thanks Jesper! For wax by hand, I like foam applicators but it’s purely a question of personal taste. I haven’t tried Autoglym.
Pan TheOrganizer alright, thanks for the quick reply! I've been leaning towards MF applicators due to the, in my experience, the lower risk on swirls, but that may be because of dirt still on the paint.
Just in time this video. Washing mine tomorrow after all the terrible weather in England we’ve had recently 👍🏼👌🏻
Awesome! Here too our weather is crap in Montreal! We’re expecting yet another 10-15 cm of snow this weekend! 😡
Pan TheOrganizer the whole of the UK comes to a standstill when it snows, we can’t deal with it haha.
I like watching ur videos very informative keep it up thanks
Thanks I appreciate the feedback!
Cool video, Pan! Question...Can DA polishers be used to apply paste waxes or should they only be applied by hand?
Yes you can absolutely apply paste or liquid waxes with a dual action polisher, as long as you use a super soft pad (no cutting) and low speed on your polisher (speed 1 or 2). And you would buff off using a microfiber towel.
Thanks a lot man
👍🏻
Pan!!!! I truly enjoy your accent.
Straight from Montreal, Canada! 😎
Pan: Is it ok to wax after claying followed by ceramic spray? I'm wondering if the ceramic spray adds anything to the freshly applied wax. Any advice is appreciated. Great video as usual.

I have a SUV , parked it under a "tunnel of trees" all summer... its 12 years old a few dings someone gave to me ... he didn't want to part with it but you know... wives... did some body work and now I am washing and waxing from the top down... got a ladder and look at roof... all covered with sap and and residue from trees.... but washes off easily thank God...

@@PanTheOrganizer Howzit , thanks for writing me... I did a search for 'How to properly wax car" on CZcams and you came up in top 2 or 3... I thought this guy looks pretty cool.
The car is well over 10 years old , but very sound mechanically . An observation that may help your viewers: If they have SUV or similar vehicle where you really can't see upper roof exterior of car...
After I washed off all the residue and organic debris of the tress... I noticed little specks of rust... about a dozen or so , real small a 1/4 of a grain of rice or less...at first I thought it was organic debris (i was going to wax)
Instead , I hit each speck of rust with some 400 grit sand paper , wiped down with paint thinner and spray painted with as close as a match of color as I could find , I don't care about looks as much as the holes that rust will eat in the roof in no time as I live in the sub tropics near the sea...
But yeah climb up there and have a look now and again . Even a new car can get damage from road debris like sand and gravel when cruising at higher speeds.
I must have picked over 50 tiny pebbles from the radiator "gills" with a tooth pick to give an idea of just how much debris is flying a round out there.. CHECK YOUR ROOF ! For sure this a "Stitch in time..." thing. After paint cures... I will wax . Good channel... I subbed... thanks for your help.
Hi Pan. Great channel! I'm new to your channel and haven't gone through all the videos yet. I was wondering about the best way to fully clean the microfiber towels after waxing? I noticed my washer doesn't always get out all the wax residue.
I would also like to humbly add for people that have to wash and wax outside- be careful on windy days. The wind can carry contaminants that put micro scratches when you dry or wax the vehicle. Living in South Florida is a challenge with all the sand flying around on windy days.

Which wax would be best in a Pacific Coastal - marine climate?
The best protection you can actually get is a ceramic coating. Those last for years, instead for a few months like traditional carnauba waxes.

odd question, but can you apply paste wax on a wet surface
@PanTheOrganizer why when I wash my car and put the Turtle seal and shine after a few days the car collects dust? What could I do for the car not to collect dust.
Wow can’t wait for the CYBRTRK
Thanks for instructive film and great channel! I'm a beginner in this field but have been using the Simoniz carnauba wax for some time. This has been very hard work, so i wonder, do you know this wax, and if so, do you suggest the same procedure for this as in the video? Or, could the Simoniz be harder than other waxes, so that application requires more attention to moisture, or temperature for example?
Simoniz isn’t that good. For a better experience, more gloss and ease of application, watch my favourite sealant/wax combo video here: czcams.com/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/video.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for quick reply! I will check out the products.
@@PanTheOrganizer By the way. How do you assess the quality of the products you use. For example, in terms of wax's ability to protect, do you measure this more systematically, or is it general impression over time? In case of Simoniz, i got curious, what makes it not so good? If not covered elsewhere, could how to assess products be a theme for a future video?
Thanks Pan....good stuff.
Thanks!
New to detailing and I just found your channel. I watched your guide on the steps to wash a car. Quick question. You don't mention on that video waxing. If I am applying wax should that be done before a quick detail? In that other video you mention to use the quick detail while drying so I was not sure when you would do that step if applying wax. Thanks a lot for the awesome videos!
That video was just a car wash tutorial. Not how to decontaminate, polish, or wax the vehicle.
You would wash your car, dry it (it doesn't matter if you use a quick detailer or not before waxing), and then you apply the wax.
I highly recommend that you watch my Detailing 101 series for beginners, where I explain different steps like iron removers, clay bar, polishing, protection, etc. It's super simple once you understand the basics, and your car will look and feel 100x better!

Great informative video, Pan. Thanks.
I noticed that you didn't mention any of the Optimum products, neither sealant nor liquid wax. Is it because you think all the other products you mentioned in the video perform better?
Thanks Michael! For the Optimum products, they are great. Their OPT spray wax is very good. I just couldn't possibly name all the waxes I like in this video, that wasn't the goal. I have hundreds and hundreds of different products (if you watch my videos, you know what I mean lol) so I just take a selection for each video. This was more a tutorial on proper application methods. ;)
Understood, thanks. And I do watch every video you produce 😊👍🏻 I like your style, the information and the fact that your videos aren't overly long.
Awesome! I hope you're a subscriber, because there are lots more awesome videos to come, with many surprises too! :)
Of course, I am. Since November 2017, I think.
Pan, do you think it would be of interest to many of your subscribers, especially those are less experienced (like myself) to learn how to do paint correction at home with minimal investment? I'm new to this and would like to start taking care of my car by myself, but I'm hesitant to shell out $200+ for a DA polisher in addition to about $150-$200 in washing products that I've already bought.
Yes it would be super. One usually starts with an entry level polisher like a Porter Cable 7424XP or Griot's Garage 6 in DA polisher, Harbor Freight, etc. and you learn the basics well and eventually move up to a big boy Flex 3401 or Rupes LHR15 MK II. Paint can look soooooo much better once properly polished (compound and polish).
Gyeon is 기온 or gi-on: sound the g as in good, the i is just a long e, then on, sounding the o as a long vowel.
Mr Cliff thanks! Alway wondered hoe to pronounce
Just wondering do you have to clay bar the car everytime you wax the car
No. Only when you feel gritty like contamination on the paintwork. Twice yearly is a good average.
@@PanTheOrganizer and deironizer?
😊 I have a black car I really what the breaker to be as glossy as possible what is the best way to make this happen. There are so many options from waxing detail spray quick detail spray wet coat ceramic spray graphene spray,
I usually use water sport remover after of you times of rain. Is using wax could be the best option?
hello Pan , could you make a review in product to add a protection underneath after ice cleaning like Swisswax motor shine . thanks
Is waxing protect from uv rays.
Please suggest name of that wax.
Can't wait to see what was and sealant combo is your favorite!

Pan and Larry - they're my goto guys/channels for the world of Detailing!
Hi Pan The Organizer! I just found your channel and am geeking out. I never have been diligent about home washing/detailing but want to start. In another video you mentioned TurtleWax Ice Sealant. I've got a question: do you primarily use wax or sealant...or both? The number of products and processes are intimidating and I am trying to form a basic game plan for keeping my vehicle in good shape. Thanks!
My favourite paint protectants are ceramic coatings, but those need a bit more experience to apply. For basic protection, a good way is to apply a base layer of a paint sealant, and a top layer of a wax. I talk about a good combo in this video: czcams.com/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/video.html
Hey Pan, can i sue a DA Polisher Machine to remove the wax? if so, what pad should i use for removing the wax? thanks
I don’t know about a DA polisher. I know that you can get a soap like chemical guys clean slate or dishwashing soap (anything that isn’t PH neutral) to strip off the wax.
Another great video, recently going over a number of videos of yours to get better knowledge of detailing. I'm planning on a polish and wax to my which got delivered last week. Also looking to use meguairs ceramic hybrid wax as an other coat. After a coating of paste wax is there any curing period better applying the ceramic hybrid wax
No curing on regular waxes unless specified on the label of the specific product you are using.

Would like to know before I purchase the Swissvax Onyx.
Yes the Swissvax will have slightly more gloss but we are nitpicking here.
Hi Pan quick question Im want to use the Meguiar's G18216 Ultimate Liquid Wax on my new car I asked dealer to just wash it after car is decontaminated with following ur steps how can I apply this particular wax with sponge or microfiber applicator and can I do the whole car or has to be done by sections and then after wax done I use paint prep again and then I can apply turtle wax graphene flex ? Or I don’t really need to wax just the graphene ?
Thank you for all your help

Thanks Pan for another great video tutorial. I'm using Meguiar's Gold Class paste wax. Should I apply that above or below Turtle Wax Seal N Shine?
Seal N Shine first. Wax last.
Your a great teacher pan thank you so much
What is your favourite wax and what works well with swissvax as a sealant
For winter and summer

Hi Pan. love your videos. Watching and learning more than I ever expected. Random question. I have a glossy road bike. Is it okay to follow the same steps (clay bar, compound, polish and wax) on my bike???
If it has painted clear coated parts yes.

You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
Isn't it better to apply hard wax on wet surface before drying? After applying dry it at the same time?
Tha k you, Pan. What do you think about applying a second coat of wax when you are done with the first? Is that something you would recommend ?
Thx from Algeria

Hi Pan! Greetings from Norway 😊. Thank you for all your tutorial videos, it has taught me a lot and makes me more comfortable doing work om my cars i used to let workshops do for me 👍.
I have a very special car that i only drive occasionally and when the weather is nice. Of course, the weather gods can be full of surprises so she can handle rain if it occurs. I like to keep her spotless and wash almost after each time. The paint is something called diavolo red and is just amazing what ever light hits. I polish maybe every third year and top with swisswax chrystal rock wich gives an nice and rich dept.
My question is: when i see your videos you explain and teach lik all cars have a lot of decontamination and the cleaning prosess is very comprehensive. World it be ok after inspecting the paint to just top of with a new layer of wax to simplify and still have a good protection and great look to the paint?
thanks ... great info!
Thanks!
Excellent job! Young Dan Ackroid

Just cruising around looking for advice and there you were. So appreciate clear, concise, entertaining people. Thanks Pan
This is an awesome video. Thank you for the info
Glad you enjoyed it! How did you discover my channel?
Just looked up how to wax my car ! Haha thanks for the reply
I can’t find a vid of re-wax your car. Do I apply on top of old wax? Strip the old wax? How? Redo the clay bar, polish? All of that issues? Pls make that vid. Big Thanks.
If the paint needs claying, you would clay. Wash the car and feel the paint. Especially in the lower parts of the vehicle. If it feels gritty or rough, it’s time to clay.
Once every three months or as needed based on iron contamination (brake dust) use an iron remover.
You reapply a fresh coat of wax when you reach the end of the claimed lifespan of your specific wax (for example if the manufacturer claims 3 months durability, it’s a good idea to reapply after two months to be safe).
Or, if you see the hydrophobics starting to diminish, you can reapply.
No need to strip off the old wax before applying a new layer, unless you are changing types of wax and want the full effect of the new one.
Hello from Chicago: several questions:
1). Do you have a Colinite 915 review? You dialed me onto Colinite 845. Have you used Colinite915?
2.).Can it be be used with Jescar Powe/Ulta Lock? Or, is it best used alone?
3). Glossmeters, what do you recommend.
I already have Jescar PowerLock, UltraLock, and Colinite 845. Can you connect me with links on recommended glossmeters or videos of glossmeters? If you have a link to Colinite 915, send it so when I order, you get credit. Thanks again!
Thanks again .
Thanks Tony!
Nice haircut PAN!
Hehe thanks!!
Hey pan
Are cleaner wax clear coat safe ?
What are micro polishing agents ???
Will they remove layer of clear coat?
How often do you apply the liquid wax after you complete a panel . I’m assuming you have to reapply more liquid wax per panel , correct ?
I don't understand your question
