Finally a video on PPF and Vinyl wraps
Thanks Pan. You're awesome
More to come!
Just installed on my GR Corolla last night. Insane gloss it adds to the paint. Rags just glide over the coated panels. Insane.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and congrats on your new GR Corolla. How did you discover my channel by the way?

This is the exact Video I needed for a while Pan, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Ben! Is your car PPF or vinyl wrapped?
@@PanTheOrganizer Hey Pan, It's not for my car but it's for a friend's PPF wrapped 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser that i've been hired to ceramic coat.
Hey Pan, another very good shampoo that can be used every so often to remove tougher contaminants is Adam's Graphene Shampoo. Can't recall if you've tested that one before. Adam's describes it as a... "Traditional foaming shampoo that balances choice, high foaming surfactants, and citrus-based degreasers to generate a wash that is more than capable of powering through all kinds of road films and grime". Another attribute is the low friction characteristics that graphene provides which in theory will help prevent some marring during a wash. I believe they recommend every third wash or so. Using a Nanomitt with it works really well.
I use the Adam’s Graphene Shampoo often to maintain the Adam’s Graphene Ceramic Coating Advanced on my girlfriend’s vehicle. I made a video about the process here: ua-cam.com/video/JLhTW_D7b8Y/v-deo.html
I think you answered my most important question that no one else has yet - that is one can apply ceramic coating on ppf !! As long as it is designed for it. So Thx! Question 1. - so can i use the gtechniq halo on an xpel ppf ? Question 2. Can i apoly this ceramic coating on my car windows , mirrors , sunroof and alloy wheels ? If not , any other recommendations ? And question 3. Can i use optimum no rinse to wash the car with ppf and ceramic costing ?Thx a bunch for sharing this tutorial!
I'm doing a coating job on a '24 Acura Integra type S in Pearl White this weekend with Halo to the nose/hood/rockers. Following with CSL/EXO after that on the non-ppf panels.This is My first time coating PPF, so I thought I'd learn from THE BEST! 😬😎🤘🏼 Thank You, Pan.
Sounds great! You can do it!
It'll look great once it's done!
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan, it turned out beautiful! Super slick and protected. It took us about 6 hours with lunch and chatting. Then a nice ride in The Huracan Tecnica!
Dude, i bought a new car and bought detailing products, and i had my car wraped in PPF .. i had so many questions in my head, and all of them are answered by only you and your channel :D thanks alot really
they shop who applied PPF tph, said dont do ceramic, cause it will damage and make tph pff yellow, is it true?
ah by the way i wanna ceramic coat my PPF cause i want my car driping wet), but as i read the comments on amazon for this product, it doesnt make the car look wet i guess.

This is totally not true. Unless you had some crappy PPF installed. Heck quality PPF manufacturers like XPEL even have their own line of ceramic coatings to be applied on top of the PPF.
The ceramic coating will prevent the PPF from yellowing, as it helps to block UV rays, and also will provide your PPF with more slickness, and also provide self-cleaning properties making the car easier to wash, and provide chemical resistance, and awesome hydrophobic properties. Depending on which coating you apply, some can increase the gloss too, but the PPF specific coatings not as much as the paint coatings.
Thank you so much!! :)@@PanTheOrganizer
I was going to ask about coating on PPF on ur other video and then youtube suggested me this video. Great job with the coating. Somehow gives me a peace of mind watching the car get coated over PPF.
:) With almost 800 videos on my channel so far, and new ones added twice weekly, you will always likely find what you're looking for on my channel. :)
Is ceramic coating bad fir PPF? Does it shorten the lifespan of the PPF?
Pan! Another awesome video! I don't even have ppf but when I see a new Pan video I make a coffee, fire up the tv and enjoy the episode! I learn so much from watching you. Thanks!
That's showing great support! Thanks David!
Man I am late for this video. But I made it.. very cool pan. I went to work in the making of your video at 4:50am. ❤️👍🏻 need to zoom in more pan. To show use the bubbles. And leveling effect. I love Porsche just not EV’s. I like real cars with engine that make noise and burning tires. And the smells of real HP cars.
Revisiting this video because just gotta Jaguar SUV and I want to get PPF done and then of course ceramic coat it. Your videos are timeless!
Thanks Joseph! Congrats on your new Jag! What model?
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan! The E pace! Needed something that'll fit in my small garage 😅
Sweet!! What color?
@@PanTheOrganizer the dreaded but gorgeous black on black with black wheels and black grille and black [instead of chrome] trim. Black leather inside as well. 🥵
Outstanding job! The Passion for doing the job right really comes through in the video.Proper steps always determine the final outcome.👍🇨🇦
I appreciate that!
It looks like the towel is sliding on the hood like an air hockey table. That's good stuff.
I've watched ear-wax removal videos and cyst removal videos. This video is just as satisfying.

If you had PPF that was several years old with an old/failing coating, how would you prep the PPF'd panels for a new coating outside of wash/iron remover? Is clay/polishing necessary to remove the old coating from the PPF?
Yes a light polish would be necessary to remove any old ceramic coating. It's the only way to ensure 100% removal of any previous protection.
Great video! What should I do with my vehicle that only has ppf on the front (front bumper and fenders, and hood)?
Regular ceramic coating for the whole car?
Vinyl/ppf coating for the whole car?
Or 2 different coatings for each section of the car?
Most paint coatings can also be applied to PPF nowadays. So check if the coating you are buying is good for paint and PPF and just apply that coating all over.
Another great video!! I’ll be applying this on my neighbors Ford Lightning when it arrives after he gets it PPF’d. Gosh, that Porsche paint color is incredible.
Coated my M2C with full XPEL ppf coverage, as well as a buddy's 911 Carrera T (also with full PPF coverage - Suntek ultra), with GTechniq Halo - in part from your video and in part from Obsessed Garage videos - and must say, it's been performing very well, and am overly happy with it. I did both cars over the 4th of July weekend in the USA, and after a couple maintenance washes since, still obviously holding up nicely. The beading and sheeting is so strong, that even the heavy suds from my foam cannon don't want to stick to the car when initiating the washing process. Thanks for the videos, Pan!
Thanks for sharing your experience Patrick and thanks for the kind words about my videos!
Based on this video, I applied two coats of Gtechniq Halo to my Fiat 500 Abarth which has a "distressed patina" vinyl wrap. The 3-M over-laminate on the printed wrap has a matte finish and I was worried that this product might ruin the effect by increasing the gloss. I'm happy to say that the matte finish was unchanged and looks exactly the same as before. However, when I run my hand across the finish it feels much more slick. It remains to be seen if this coating performs as well as the Adams Graphene coating I used on my Porsche and several other vehicles, chosen also because of one of your earlier videos.
Compared with the Adams Graphene, the prep work for the Halo product was a bit less because I didn't clay bar the vinyl wrap but the application took more effort because the Halo not only requires two coats, it also has a little more drag when leveling (wiping) the coating. However, it certainly wasn't difficult. I also miss the nifty blue UV tracer in the Adams product which glows blue under a UV light so you can see exactly where it was applied.
For reference, I used half of the 60ml bottle of Adams to do my Porsche. It took 2/3 of a 50ml bottle of Halo to do my Fiat but I dropped the bottle and spilled a little bit. I would say that I could have gotten by with the 30ml bottle but if your car is larger than a Fiat 500 (aren't all cars?) then go with the 50ml bottle of Halo and try not to waste any. I also suspect a gloss wrap or PPF would use less product than my matte vinyl wrap.
Thank you again for keeping us up to speed on the latest and greatest products for protecting our cars.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Just keep in mind PPF coatings don't last as long as some of the more durable paint coatings. You should expect 1 to 2 years of protection if you applied it well, and do proper maintenance. I will also be looking forward to long term durability results in my conditions, to see how well they do over time, as they are still fairly new to the market.
Thanks for the video and the detailed process as always! I'm planning to do mine next weekend. How much did you use, 30 or 50ml for this car? Also, do you recommend using this on the windows and sunroof? I know this is a different style of coating.
The coatings in this video are exclusively for use on PPF and vinyl wraps. No other surfaces.
One 30 ml bottle was enough for this car.

Yeah it came out fantastic! Customer was ecstatic!
@@PanTheOrganizer I'm sure it was quite nice before You started... As always, You took it to the next level 😃😎
Thank you so much for this video Pan. I've been a fan of yours for years and been using all your techniques. I'm having my new car (Tesla) PPF'ed for the past day and receiving it today. I'll be using a ceramic coat for the PPF. As for the ceramic coat product, haven't decided yet as there are so many of them available. I've narrowed it down to Gyeon and Gtechnik. Love your videos as you explain everything in regards to detailing our cars we love.
Gyeon PPF, CarPro Skin and Gtechniq Halo are all top tier PPF coatings, so regardless of your choice, they should be very similar in performance and all three should last 1-2 years.
Congrats on getting a new Tesla! What model and color did you get?
If it can help to inspire you further, watch a Tesla full A to Z detailing video I made here: ua-cam.com/video/gohks8xP5NY/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer : Thank you so much the input Pan. I got the Tesla M3 model in blue with white interior. I already ceramic coated the white interior using Gyeon interior. I watch the video that you posted in regards to the Tesla. I'm based in Northern California (bay area east bay), so our weather here is fairly reasonable.
😁👍🏻
W5 Citus came in a spray bottle and I beleive you said 5-6 months to use? Just spray on PPF and wipe off? Also, I used the HALO and also purchased the Reset (maintenance) and the C2 Ceramic Sealer. How often should I use the C2?
I enjoy your videos. I learned a lot from you. But can you pls tell me if I can put 2 coats of ceramic on my truck. Do you recommend 2 coats
Gtechniq says only a single layer is required. I only apply one layer.

Hi Pan, great video as always. Do we need to wait for PPF to fully cure before applying any coating on top? How long should i wait after getting my PPF installed?
After PPF has been installed, it can take a few days to fully cure and settle. It's recommended to not wash the car for 7 days after the PPF is installed, and also avoid touching or pressing areas on the film for at least a week. You may notice some bubbling after installation that will smooth out once the film has completed dried and settled.
Pan, your information is what makes DIY guys successful. Is there one ceramic coating you recommend for a car that has paint and PPF, or do you advise using two different products designed for each surface? If it two products, should I ceramic coat the paint first or the PPF areas? Thank you.
PPF coatings are only for PPF. But most paint coatings can also be applied on PPF. So if you have a mix of paint and PPF, get a good paint coating and apply to all those surfaces.

Wow! I feel honored to receive your reply. It’s like when the professor sends a note. No, make that the head of the department. I’ve been watching video after video of yours and have learned so much from your excellent explanation and detail. Pun, intended, Pan. I’ll be picking up my X-Pel freshly applied 2005 Lotus Elise next week after 41 painstaking, tedious hours of removing the original, dried in, crusty 3M Starshield so I want to protect it right away as best I can. Please keep the encyclopedic and entertaining videos coming. Thanks Pan!
Perfect video to watch with your first morning coffee 😉🙂. Gorgeous Taycan, colour is amazing 👍🏻. Have a great weekend Pan 🙋🏼♂️🙂👍🏻
Thank you! You too!
I was waiting SO MUCH for this tutorial! Thanks Pan! Great video as always!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this brilliant as always ! Can you use iron remover on a matte vinyl wrap as part of the decon prep , thanks
Hi Pan, on my truck the PPF covers the front end of the truck but ends midway up on the hood. Any precautions I should take when polishing the hood where the painted metal meets the PPF?
Excellent video Pan; so good to see a pro' at work. I noticed that when applying the second square to the bonnet (hood), you overlapped the first square. Cleary, after a minute or so of drying, that created no apparent problem. So, how long can a section be left drying before application of the adjacent panel without causing any problems? You can tell, I worry for England to Olympic standard.
Don't overthink the moment. As long as you are methodical and apply the coating in one sitting, you're fine. It takes 24 hours for the initial cure to fully happen. But you can usually correct high spots up to 30 min after the application.
Thanks Pan for the great info. I asked you awhile back about doing a video on this subject as I have PPF of on my Corvette since day one and now I know just how to keep it looking great! Thanks again for the awesome videos you provide.
Thank you!
What is the process if you want to reapply it after 1 year on PPF that already have it? (Halo) do you have to use carpro reset or something similar first?
Hi Pan! If one already has PPF+ceramic coating applied, would it be advisable to use SiO2 toppers (not necessarily designed for PPF) every once in a while to help the CC last longer? And for that extra GLOSS? I'm thinking Gyeon Wet Coat, Capro Elixir every 1-3 months and maybe a ceramic detailer every now and then. Also wondering if those new Turtle Wax Graphene products (Flex Wax, to the Max Wax) would work well over a ceramic coat that's on top of a PPF. Thanks for all the awesome videos!
Yes I would absolutely use SiO2 or graphene toppers to maintain the PPF and ceramic coating. Gyeon WetCoat is a great simple to use maintenance product. Flex Wax is compatible too, but it's a longer lasting product, so you usually use it more as a base layer of protection, not really a topper. And Max Wax I wouldn't recommend on top of a ceramic coating.

@Pan - you said several times both coatings are fine for matte PPF, which I have on my Tesla model Y. I wrote to the CarPro people and they said Skin may make the matte fairly glossy (maybe not ruining the PPF, but a glossy/shiny layer on top). Have you personally applied over matte PPF? Thoughts?
The Ceramic Pro PPF installer used Ceramic Pro’s PPF/Vinyl base and top coat as a protectant in the Tesla. Thoughts on Ceramic Pro products? Would you switch to the ones in your video?
Thanks!
I haven’t tested on matte surfaces. But CaPro themselves, on their own official website, state it can be used on matte surfaces. Check it out here: carpro.global/catalog/cquartz-skin/
So it seems we’re getting conflicting information from the brand.
One thing that can happen is coatings, even matte coatings, often make the surface richer in appearance. But not glossy.
Great video just had my vinyl wraped car ceramic coated with halo.
What exact product can i use to boost it up?
Thanks.
Waited so long for that Video love it. I would love so much to see you detailing a Motorcycle.

I know this is an old video but very informative. Now how would a ceramic coating work on a ppf that is matte, would it make it shine or how does the ceramic react to the matte film? Thanks for the amazing videos you make and keep up the great work sir!!!
Thanks! All three coatings can be applied to gloss, satin and matte PPF and vinyl wraps. (Gtechniq Halo, CarPro Skin and Gyeon PPF).

With PPF, you want to be very careful with what you apply on it for protection. While it is technically possible to wax paint protection film, it is not a recommended practice as it may have a detrimental effect on the film’s performance. Waxing paint protection film can cause discoloration and cloudiness over time. With the advancement of coatings and paint protection technology, the use of traditional carnauba sealants have become less common as these waxes and sealants tend to degrade more quickly compared to ceramic coatings. Additionally, wax can build-up on the edges of the film, resulting in a visible white line.
If you insist on applying a wax on your PPF, make sure that the wax you will be using does not contain any petroleum-based products, and that it doesn't contain Kerosene or Naphtha in over 5% concentration. Also avoid waxes that come with dyes.
Also, check with your PPF installer what protection he recommends, as some PPF brands will void your warranty if you don't use their specific PPF coating.
As not all PPF is made the same, again, check with the shop that installed your PPF for the appropriate care. If they are a professional shop that cares, they should have given you clear instructions when they delivered the final result to you.
Great video Pan as always! I've had Halo applied on my AMG 45s in satin ppf, which for durability it lasts me around 1 year. Including doing regular maintenance washes living here in the UK. As mentioned in the video it is a very product to use in the correct conditions. I personally like to try and stay with Gtechniq products as much as possible as they design and produce these in the labs research etc for maximum results, would be nice to see this product last that bit longer if they can do this would be great, that would be it's only let down to me.
They advertise it for 2 years, only one year is pretty disappointing to be honest.
I know these are preferred for PPF. However, I had no issues using Carpro Cquarts 3.0 UK worked great.
Many paint coatings can also be used on PPF nowadays. You just have to make sure to read if your specific coating does.
U just made ceramic coating looks so easy. Quick question: Did you do any paint correction before this car was ppf-ed? This coating seems pretty DIY-able, just not sure about paint correction step. Thx
The car came to me already with PPF so I didn’t perform the paint correction. It seems the team that did it might not have been the best hehe.
which one is better Halo or Car pro . Please suggest , I have never applied it but after watching the video really want to do that
Both are pretty equal. Get the one that is less expensive for you to buy where you live.
@@PanTheOrganizer I live in Canada car pro is 99 $ and halo is 140$ so is extra 40$ worth it ?
Hi just found your channel and great videos on how to prep and look after the care of your car. I am getting a new car shortly and looking to get it PPF’d Premium Shield Nxt Gen from an approved Installer. It is supposed to be hydrophobic and the installer said that you do not need ceramic coating with this particular PPF. However I love the shine and gleam ceramic coating gives and was planning to use Avalon King Armor Shield IX. Do you think this would be ok to use on my PPF? I appreciate that you mention on this video to use a specific ceramic coating that is suitable for PPF. But on Avalon’s website it says it is suitable to use on PPF. I would like to use this one based on how easy it is to apply. Your thoughts would be appreciated 👍👍
Great video! Hoping you can clarify something for me. While these coatings are supposed to be formulated specifically for PPF, your earlier videos (and those of many others) have always said that other ceramic coatings that were not formulated specifically for PPF could still be applied over PPF. In many cases, the durability of the other ceramic coatings (CQuartz UK 3.0, Glassparency, and some others) have 2 or 3X the longevity (claims) of the two featured here. If the others can last longer, then what "advantage" is there really to these coatings being formulated specifically for PPF? If you recommend using these over traditional ceramic coatings, why is that? Or are these just two more "options" in the arsenal, without any real advantage over traditional ceramics?
That's a great question and it would be best answered by the chemists that formulate these products. My understanding is that paint coatings can usually be applied to PPF but you can't guarantee the durability as much as they weren't specifically made for that purpose. PPF specific coatings will usually do a better job on PPF.
Maybe it’s better for not inhibiting the PPF self healing layer.
Pan, this is an excellent tutorial. I just so happen to have a new camp trailer (Off Grid trailers) Expedition 2.0, Made In Canada even, with a graphic vinyl wrap - looking forward to doing this ASAP. Thanks for sending me this link, really appreciate it. Take care.

Awsome video Pan! Just a quick question. Do you have a video on how to prep a vehicle with PPF for ceramic coating. What I mean is, do you have a video how to prep a car/truck that has had PPF on it for over a year such as clay bar it, Iron X, or an obital polisher and polish on it before applying a ceramic coating.
I don’t.
oh wow that is very interesting. I know Gtechniq panel wipe is stronger then Carpro Eraser. That is my main panel prep and has never given me any issues but I guess i will get make a bottle of Panel Wipe to use. I have a vehicle that has about 3,000 miles on it. I hit it with iron decon just to be safe and washed it with the stripping soap from Obsessed garage in the shade of course and no issues. I can see I killed most of the hydrophics on the PPF but wondering if I should still hit it with a white pad and 3D one? Love all the content PAN!!
Use a light polish like Sonax Perfect Finish. Then IPA wipe. Then apply the coating.
The light polish will ensure enough mechanical abrasion to remove any crappy cheap wax or sealant the dealership applied prior to delivery. You want to ensure 100% bonding ot the coating to the PPF.
@@PanTheOrganizer Awesome! I have a bottle of Perfect finish. Would you recommend a white pad or black polishing pad? Thinking a white pad and PF should be the move.
I use a yellow Rupes polishing pad with the Sonax Perfect Finish. But yes a white polishing pad should do. Do a test spot, and see if it works.

Hey Pan, How about a follow up on this car, putting a second Ceramic coat on top of this one. My Tesla is in the shop right now getting full PPF wrap and a Ceramic coat on top of that. I'm thinking of putting another layer or two on top of what the shop does.
I won't do that. You can't guarantee chemical compatibility and overapplying different protectants doesn't do any good usually. Plus you'll never know how long the base coating actually did if you try applying another one on top.
If you want to do that, by all means, you're free to do as you wish. But don't expect me to do that.

Nice video 👍🏼 I never did ceramic coating myself however I do have it on my car from factory who’s car is that I’m a blue car guy lover my favourite colour is blue on cars looks sick.
Does this work on vinyl wrap?
Yes. PPF and vinyl wraps
Great guide! Very much appreciated for providing detailing guide. Keep up the great work.

Good morning Pan. Will be parting with my 2015 BMW 435i M Sport and getting a 2022 Kia EV6. Will definitely be adding PPF at least to the front back to the door panels. Don’t know anything about PPF, what type to use or who I select to apply. After applied and watching this Video will do the prep and then apply a coating. Will it be AvalonKing or one of those in the Video? My experience applying AvalonKing might make the process easier. Oh, plus everything I learned from you over the past 2 years.
Good thing is that you can also apply AvalonKing on top of PPF, so if you still have it, use it on all the car.
Hehe, I giggle too when applications are that easy. It's kind of hard to believe sometimes. The first time I applied ceramic I was just blown away. It's like an entire bottle of Chemical Guys V07 sealant was dumped on the car. It's nuts. But graphene is becoming a major competitor too. Seeing how fast the detail world is growing and the tech behind it, it'll be interesting to see what the next best thing is.
Yeah the detailing world has gone into hyper speed mode in the past 5 years! New products, new brands, new tech on a monthly basis it seems. So fun to be a part of all of this!
Thanks again for another excellent video Pan. Your passion shines through time and time again. I have a truck with PPF installed on the front end only. Would it make sense to use a PPF specific coating on those panels and top with another cermaic coating? For instance Carpro skin and SIC on the PPF panels and Cquartz UK 3.0 and SIC on the clearcoat panels?
No, at that point, just apply CQUK 3.0 on all the paint and PPF. CQUK can be applied on PPF too. :)
Thanks for the great instruction. I cannot find your video on how to prep my PPF for a ceramic coating. Can you post the link here?
This is the only PPF coating video that I have.
@@PanTheOrganizer ....in the beginning of that video you mentioned that you have a video on how to prep PPF for ceramic coating. maybe I heard you wrong. My 2022 Cadillac XT6 was wrapped yesterday in Xpel clear film. They said I can't wash it for one full week, is that true? Also, I ordered that Halo ceramic coating you show in this video, can I just wash and dry this brand new film next week and apply the ceramic coating to it?
Personally have used HALO and it's awesome 😎
I agree
Pan, I've got a new to me Mercedes Benz GL350 with PPF on the front, hood, mirrors & rocker panels and I'd like to put on a ceramic coating. Should I use two separate products, one for the PPF and a separate one for the clear coted paint?
Most paint coatings can also be applied on PPF. So I would just use one coating for everything. Make sure your coating is compatible with PPF.
Pan, watched this again. Another informative video. So, Pan, other than the Gtechniq and carpro, you recommend in this video, are there other choices to coat a PPF? In your opinion, is there one ceramic coating I could use on a car with no PPF and a car with PPF? Last year I applied Gyeon PURE Gen 1 to both vehicles and I have positive results. With so new products becoming available these days, I was thinking of buying just one product. Recommendations appreciate. Thanks, Paul.
You could absolutely use a paint coating on PPF, as most paint coatings can also be applied on PPF. You would need to confirm with the brand if their coating can also be applied to PPF though, just to make sure though.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks.
Hey Pan Awesome review, just wanted to know a few things, is it safe to use products such as N914 wash, Koch Chemie GSF or a drying aid like bead maker or Obsessed Garage Drying Aid on the PPF with the GTechniq Halo? For Tar and Brake Dust is Tar X and Iron X is also safe to use?
Yes
Hi. I’m shocked about the fact that ppf can be machine polished!?!? What if I had a ceramic put on my ppf a year ago and I want to put this halo on for this year? Do I just iron remover, wash and alcohol mix prep?
No. You would need to polish the previous coating off, before applying the new one. It's just like paint. You don't apply a new coating on top of an existing one. And the only way to ensure 100% removal is by machine polishing.
Great video. Is ceramic coating flexible enough on top of PPF to not Crack if I need to take my bumper off to replace an engine part? I have to flex the bumper a little near the fender to remove from the clips.
No worries.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you. Subscribed!
Hi Pan, first of all i want to thank you for all your helpful contents, i been watching your videos all last week and i really learned a Ton!!! I have a suntek matte ppf and it is treated with halo ceramic coating, i noticed lately that the front bumper and the bottom of the door are not hydrophobic as they used to be, can i just add another layer of the halo ceramic after washing the car or do i need to strip it off first and use a specific chemical before re applying another coat! Thanks a lot!
How long ago did you apply the coating? Sometimes, coatings are simply clogged and need chemical decon to get revived. You could wash the car using a 2PH system (alkaline pH for pre-wash with foam cannon, and acidic soap for the contact wash). See my video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/NFvtgblWhTk/v-deo.htmlsi=vffSLlzDW7wL9EWh
Use an iron remover to remove brake dust. And then once the car is clean, use a water spot remover like this: bit.ly/3UO1UX4
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you, it was coated about 2 months ago, the rest of the car is perfect and very slick but just the front bumper and bottom sides under the door
@@PanTheOrganizer i was just wondering in general, is it okay to re-apply ceramic coating over an existing one, especially if it’s been recent? Or it needs to be stripped off first before reapplying?
A coating must always bond to a virgin surface, so the old one has to be polished off, before applying a fresh one.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you so much and again thanks for all your great contents and attention to detail
Fantastic review of what appears to be another amazing option for ceramic coatings. I’m currently still in love with a different product but appreciate the insight my bru!
Thanks bru!
Hey Pan,
Great video and love the content,
I just got PPF and Ceramic coating on my car, what product would you recommend for Tar and Bug removal on PPF and Ceramic coated car?
Thanks
You would use a tar remover, but be very careful with those on PPF, as they are harsher chemicals compared to iron removers. Also, I would check with your PPF installer IF you can use tar removers on your specific PPF, and what he would recommend, as some PPF have special needs and requirements.
Pan, as always, great video. Question...I'm picking up my R1T today from detailers..they put on Kavaca Matte PPF. Is Car Pro's Reload ok to use on Matte PPF or will it put a gloss on it? Detailers put a layer of Ceramic Pro PPF & Vinyl Base coat on, I'm thinking can I use Reload as a maintenance topper? Thanks
Use a topper that's appropriate for matte surfaces like this: amzn.to/3YZabaQ
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you!
Cool! I for one am very interested in all PPF-related content so I'll be sure to look out for any/all future updates, reviews and comparisons on the topic. Thanks Pan
Thanks Andrew!
@@PanTheOrganizer One thing I've just learned browsing the product pages that might be of note here is that CarPro Skin can be removed with a stripping solution, so apparently no polishing necessary if you decide to change coatings down the line. If accurate it's a great selling point IMO, and they also claim heavy UV resistance, which can be particularly important for PPF. Just comparing the product claims between the two featured here.
😍🥰 ppf/vinyl wrapped with ceramic coating is my dream protection.
Best of both worlds.
Nice video Pan as always! I just got my car full front ppf and planning to put ceramic coating on top of it,can this be applied without ppf?
If you have paint on some sections and PPF on some sections, just apply the same paint coating on your PPF too.
Most coatings for paint can also be applied to PPF. But PPF specific coatings aren’t meant for use on paint.
Hi Pan, great video. For the prep can I use high alkaline shampoo like Car pro reset and Car Pro Iron X on PPF to have the surface clean before applying ceramic.
PPF has been on the car for 2 months
CarPro Reset is actually pH neutral. It's not alkaline. So yes you can wash PPF with it. And you can use IronX as well. Just keep in mind, if there's any protection on the PPF (wax, sealant or ceramic) you will also have to machine polish that off, and then use a paint prep spray, to make sure you remove any previous protection before applying the new ceramic coating.
As always another great video. I just got delivery of my Tesla Mode 3. Scheduled to apply matte PPF by a professional. Spec: Xpel Stealth PPF
Question 1. How long should I wait to apply the Halo ceramic coating after Stealth PPF application?
Question 2:. I have the chemical guys snow foam soap(watermelon). Can I use that soap for regular car maintenance? Or is it not compatible with the Halo ceramic coating?
Thanks bunch! 🙏 All my OCD car washing lessons are from your videos. 👊
Congrats on your new Model 3! I made a video about detailing a new Tesla Model Y here: ua-cam.com/video/gohks8xP5NY/v-deo.html
To answer your questions:
1. Wait two weeks.
2. Yes you can use that shampoo.

@@PanTheOrganizer I found your channel by searching on UA-cam how to prep and detail a car. I basically bought all my carwash/detail equipment from your recs.
Thanks for the responses to my questions. 🙏
Hi Pan, would you recommend Cquartz 3.0 UK on top of Xpel PPF? Thank you for all the information you have provided!
You could, but PPF specific coatings tend to do better on that surface.
A great video pertaining to PPF, ceramic coating and maintenance. I use Car Pro Ech20 Pan. Is that enough to clean the contaminants on the PPF and ceramic coating? I use Reload every 4 months also.
Ech2O is a waterless wash/quick detailer depending on dilution. It's not meant for a perfect clean. When possible, I would still recommend a good traditional two bucket wash with CarPro Reset.
Pan, after a wash and application of iron remover (on a 4 year old PPF) what other steps do I have to consider in order to prep the car correctly ?
You can do a light polish if your PPF has stains, scratches and swirls. Then use the panel prep spray, and then apply the coating.
Great video! However; I’m looking for a Graphene Ceramic Coating for my car that just had the entire vehicle done in Llumar PPF.
What do you suggest?
Thank you!
is it safe to touch the plastic parts. for example, GT4RS has the naca-ducts on the hood, should i cover them with tape or just apply the hallo and wipe.
Good morning Pan, interesting video
Thanks Bernie!
Sir, I’m about to put a self healing PPF on my ride and then top it with a ceramic grafene coating. My question is, will the hardness of the ceramic coating stop the self healing properties of the PPF from working?
You would have to ask a PPF specialist that question. I have no experience with installing PPF or how self-healing versions work unfortunately.
Hey pan, a sugestion, do a video specificaly on how to wash vehicles with ppf, would be great
You wash them the same way as you would a car with no PPF. Same shampoos.
I live in Tampa Fl and want to take my new model X to get PPF, Window tint and ceramic coating not only on the body but also on the windows, windshield, lights etc. With your knowledge of so many detainers out there, do you know and recommend someone it the Tampa area?
For window tinting in Florida, check out Alligator Window Tint. www.alligatorcustoms.com/services
Tell him Pan The Organizer sent you. He's one of the best in the business.
For the rest, I have no recommendations that I know of in your area unfortunately.
Nice Job , can we use any ceramic coating brand in the ppf ??
No. You have to make sure the coating is compatible with PPF.
Also, check with your PPF manufacturer if the warranty is still maintained if you apply a coating from a different brand, as some PPF manufacturers require their coating if you want to maintain your warranty.
Hello sir. What is the best way to get rid of swirls and imperfections aka paint correction BEFORE doing ppf? Clay bar, compund, etc.
Thank you.
I made an entire paint correction tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/ustTEVGMOTI/v-deo.html
I recently bought chemical guys citrus cleaner and was wondering if it is too strong for maintenance washes and would start prematurely degrading the paint sealant I recently applied?

Hi Pan, would you do all the necessary prep steps prior to coating PPF?(decon. wash, chemical and mechanical decon. compound/polish, IPA, then coating) or are there steps you for go because of the PPF installation? and how often would you apply an SIo2 spray as a "topper" once coating is done? ( my environment is the same as yours we both live in MTL)
Typically, the installers of the PPF should have already prepped the paint properly underneath, so you would simply have to wash the vehicle, dry it, use the IPA mix, and apply the coating.
For the toppers, same applies as for any coating: at least once every 2 to 3 months, you apply a maintenance ceramic topper.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan!
I just did a ceramic coating of my car, and i didn't know about ppf until couple of days, is possible to use ppf over the coating? Or somehow i need to remove the coating? Thanks a lot
That's a question you will need to ask to your PPF installer. Usually, it's PPF first, and ceramic coating on top. So I'm not sure if the PPF will stick on top of the ceramic coating.
Hello. I only put PPF on my hood and side view mirrors. Can I still use this on my entire car or will I need to change the product?
PPF coatings are only to be used on PPF, not paint. In your case, it would be better to get a paint coating that can also be applied to PPF (most can, check the description of the coating you want to buy) and use one product for all your vehicle.
Pan - I have a 2022 Turbo S with a front PPF. Would you still recommend this ceramic for the mix of PPF and clear coat, or use two different ceramic products for the different surfaces? What is your product recommendation for this application? Thanks
Take the coating you'll be using on the paint, and apply it to the PPF too. Most paint coatings can be applied on PPF, unless otherwise noted by the manufacturer on their website or label.
Hello 👋 greit video btw✌️💎
Question- what is best way and product to take care and boost protection for coated wrapped black mat finish?? Can we use some wax for mat finish to boost protection or something like that over ceramic coating.
You would apply the same products as here: Gtechniq Halo or CarPro Skin. Both can be applied to matte wraps or matte ppf. For maintenance, there aren't many products out there for matte surfaces. Here's one: bit.ly/3EHX1UI
Hi Pan, thanks for this video, it answered a lot of questions. My truck has PPF in strategic spots (front of the hood bottom of the fenders etc) these areas are starting to yellow and become discolored. How can i go about restoring these areas to their original look. Thanksbagain and keep up the great videos!
Ouch it’s hard to answer as I am not there to see it in person and don’t know all the details. It’s possible the UV did permanent damage already. Or a light polish might restore it. Your best bet is to go see a PPF installer near you and have him evaluate the extent of the damage and what could be done.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for the reply, This was very helpful!
Great job! Loving that beautiful color! Looks great 👍
Thanks Danny!
Hey Pan, how do you prep a wrapped car. Going to use halov2 but not exactly sure on the prep. Would I need to use iron and also would it need polishing?
Same process applies for PPF and vinyl wraps. But you likely won't need the iron remover or polishing. You should check with your vinyl wrap installer to make sure, as there can be specific indications for certain types of wraps or PPF some times.
Mr. Pan,
My wife’s car came new w/PPF. I plan on using the Halo Ceramic Coating. My question: may I use the remaining coating in the bottle on my car that does NOT have PPF? Thank you, sir.
Respectfully,
Robert
No. The other way around would be ok though. A paint coating that you could apply on PPF.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you, sir… one last quick question: new Ford Bronco, Oxford White… Would you recommend Adam’s Advanced Graphene Ceramic Spray or Evo Moh’s or Evo Pure? Thank you, sir. (Or any other recommendation)…
I saw a lot of scratches on the trunk of the car during your walk around when the car was finished. How are the fill in properties?
Coatings have zero filling capabilities. Unfortunately, the installers of the PPF might not have polished the paintwork to absolute perfection prior to installing the PPF, so there was nothing I could do. But it still looked 90% good.
@@PanTheOrganizer Oh, it looked outstanding. Great Video!
Is it too much to use Bilt Hamber Auto Foam every 2 weeks during my maintenance wash? Car is ceramic coated and will be PPF for “full front” in the next month. Is BH too harsh for the coatings to withstand over 1-2 years?
Yeah I wouldn't recommend using such a high alkaline snow foam for regular washes. It's not necessary. If you want to use it that often, at least make sure to not use it at 4-5% PIR. You should use maximum 2% PIR. For regular washes, pH neutral is all you really need. The alkaline snow foams are more for deeper cleanings to remove accumulated grime and road film every other month or every change of season. Don't forget those are strong and can potentially weaken or strip off protections like waxes or sealants.
For coatings, assuming you have a quality coating with good resistance to chemicals (pH 2-13) it's fine to use it every now and then, but again, I wouldn't do that for each wash. You will eventually weaken the coating.
