Hi Rob! Very fun video to watch, thank you for putting my CLEAN By Pan 3-year ceramic coating to the test! I appreciate the kind words, and show of support. The internet can be super toxic at times, so it’s nice to see a fellow content creator that doesn’t give into drama. You gave good explanations and kudos to you on catching the mistake with the Adam’s polish hehe. Hopefully you were able to truly polish that off with the Griot’s polish, as it’s important to not have any residual protection on paint, before applying a new ceramic coating, as you know. You also seem to have understood my point of me saying my products are the best. They are the best for me. But now I think the results speak for themselves, and so many independent reviews are out there allowing people to see these are truly top tier products. Whether they are the best for one person is up to them to decide. What’s the best for me isn’t necessarily the best for you, and what is best for you might not be the best for me. But I think most would agree that these products are easy to use, give a great user experience, and deliver on performance. I put a lot of time, effort, energy, hard work, and passion into creating this lineup with my chemists, so it’s nice to see the validation from the detailing community. To get back the the coatings specifically, a few observations: - it’s a thicker formula by design, so you have to be deliberate about pouring the liquid onto the applicator pad. It’s a thicker formula as it also lays down a thicker film build on the surface, contributing to its durability. - 1 to 2 min is the minimum amount of time to leave the coatings on the surface, but that depends on the conditions (temperature, humidity) and type of surface (paint, PPF, vinyl wrap, glass, wheels, etc). Start with a small section first, and see what is the optimal wipe off time in your conditions. - During the levelling process, if you feel you’re just pushing the coating around or its smeary, keep it on the surface for longer. You can go as long as 3 to 5 min and it should still be easy to wipe off. It’s very forgiving for the user experience, as you noticed. Wipe off should be easy, and not grabby. - The coating will feel slick immediately after wiping, but that slickness gets even better hours after the application, and ultimately a week after full curing. It was primarily designed as a paint coating, so that’s where it will perform at its best, but it can also be applied on wheels, glass (2 layers recommended on windshield, 1 layer on side glass), plastic trim, metal exhaust tips, PPF, and vinyl wraps. Can even be applied to matte surfaces. So it’s a very versatile coating. Seems like you had fun with the detailing process and if you’re happy, I’m happy! Have yourself a Merry Christmas and keep on doing positive things for the detailing community!
Hey Pan! It's quite an honor to have you comment on my video! I'm a long-time viewer and watched you in the earlier days and as a UA-camr myself (although much smaller) I can appreciate the time and dedication that it takes to create good content, edit, answer viewers, come up with new ideas, etc. Let alone develop your own product line and set up distribution for your entire viewer audience. Impressive for sure!! I also purchased your Shampoo...did a quick UA-cam Short on that but plan to do a proper video (weather permitting). I also created a video about winter washing with your rinse-less soap which is coming out this Friday. In terms of the installation of the 3-year coating, it was quite easy...I suppose I could have left it on the hood for a little longer but based on what I'm seeing so far (off the record)....the hydrophobics are off the charts! Honestly, environmental conditions in addition to personal preference will dictate if this is "the best" but I can agree that it's certainly top-tier! No question in my mind! I can't wait to do a one-month review which is coming up soon. Wishing you all the best and a prosperous 2025! Maybe someday we can meet up and collaborate...would be a true honor for sure. Don't forget your roots, the little people and allow the product to speak for itself....cause it will! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!
I have this installed on my Tesla and it’s absolutely amazing. I love it. It’s gloss is great or maybe that’s bc of my polishing job. But it repels water like no other. Easy install. Doesn’t stink when applying. Thickness is annoying but I got it to work lol. Great video sir! And the bear force canon arrived and it’s a great product!
I have been waiting for this one! Great video! I have Cerakote V2 and it’s been great for six months now! I have tried his ceramic spray and shampoo and they were pretty good! Looking forward to the one week follow up! Have you tried “Car Candy” products yet? There is a small local company here in Florida and have excellent products!
