Hi Pan, just a suggestion when testing these types of coatings I think the best way to show results, it's inside the car and simulate rain or at least how the wipers work in conjunction with the coating, I once coated my windshield with a similar product and the water beading was amazing, but when using the wipers it would spread all the water around and create a small water film that would evaporate almost immediately, however during this process it was harder to see outside, which didn't make any sense at the end of the day.
Great video, Pan! It was a pleasure seeing you again at the creator summit and we appreciate you taking the time to review the Invisible Glass ceramic coating 🙌
Always a pleasure to see Super Star Andy an integral part of the show. He's so spoiled now with all the in depth detail work you have done on his car. I can't wait to try out the Invisible Glass Ceramic Glass Coating!
Our RAV Hybrid lives outside on the East Coast. I have decided and have been using Stoner invisible glass and then finish off with Stoner clean and repel . This combo works for us and held up very well on a 4400 km road trip to Ontario and back ( it rained a lot on the way back ). They make good products.
I've been hoping and waiting for you to review this product. I use invisible glass on all of my glass, auto as well as in my home, and absolutely love it! From your demo, I have no doubt that this ceramic product will be equally as impressive. As always, a great and informative video, keeping us up to date and informed about new products. Thank you Pan 🙂
Pan I must say that is one KILLER coating, awesome hydrophobic properties. I highly suggest Gyeon Q2 View! First ceramic coating I applied and it was super easy, and works phenomenally! It did also teach me something. You CANNOT rush and cut corners when ceramic coating. The time I had put into coating my glass was well worth it, it came out fantastic
I just bought this kit, watched your install video, and would like to make one recommendation: after the power washing off the stripper, dry the vehicle's roof so you avoid water from running down onto the fresh coating.
This was just a quick demo to get to the point. Normally, you'd wash the car, rinse it, then do the glass stripper, rinse it, and fully dry the vehicle, and then apply the coating.
if it were any other company, I would probably not have any interest... but it's Stoner and I've been using their glass cleaners for over 20 years...... sure hope the coating stands up to weather and wiper use after several month like they claim! (seriously doubt that it can possibly go beyond one year, but who knows)
Good looking package and the strip polish was really cool. I am looking forward to seeing how the windshield holds up as they typically do not last very long. Thank you for an informative video. Hopefully you and the family are doing well!
20 years ago on a fast XC trip from Colorado to Minnesota, a violent rainstorm was reducing my visibility to dangerous levels, and literally lifted my wipers off the glass on my old Subaru GL in the crosswinds. I finally spotted a Walmart, took the exit, and then thankfully found the original Rain-X bottle. I had to sit under a gas station awning to dry the glass, and then apply the solution, dried and buffed it, repeated. Back on the road, I was literally passing Semis at 75, the rain so hard it washed over the hood, but the water just blew off with the wipers just on intermittent. Since then, the only product as good was small spray can of No Touch, which even worked on wet glass, but I don't see it any more. It is hard to fathom why Rain-X changed for the worse, as the only minor peeve was the application process, yet many new far pricier "wonder products" are even more tedious, in line perhaps with the notion that the extra labor, and cost, for the DIY obsessive must equate with a superior result - which tests do NOT necessarily support. Many complain about streaking and other issues; I had no issues with original Rain X, but a big name brand "Ceramic" car finish touted as perfect for both paint and glass left a residue that was impossible to remove, even with stripper, tar remover, glass polish, etc. and Rain X over it was just a temporary fix.
Thanks for this Pan. I use invisible glass products and will likely give this coating a try when my Glaco is done. Really appreciate your videos you've introduced many new products to me and I've been a weekend warrior for almost 50 years lol yes I'm old.

Ive used soft99 glaco dx. Nearly 3 months later and the novelty of driving at over 40mph and not using the wipers still hasn't worn off. Its frankly hilarious. Most of the detailing i do to my own car is vanity based, but these coatings genuinely make driving in the rain much much safer

I might have to give this a try. I already use Stoners Invisible Glass and think it's a great glass cleaner and have been weighing options for coating the glass on my new truck - I put a bunch of miles on daily with lots of opportunities for bug guts...lol.
Hey Pan, big fan of the channel. I am looking to purchase a glass coating product for my F30 BMW. Which one do you think I should get for my windscreen? The glaco or the invisible glass? Also I would like to coat my side windows, mirrors and the rear glass. Which product would you recommed for these?
Great video, Pan! Your 5 Month Update video lead me here. I do have a couple of questions, though. 1. You have only used one coat (understandable for a test/experiment) but you indicated two coats could be applied. You said to toss the applicator and towels after use because the coating forms crystals but how fast do those crystals form making the applicator and trowels unusable? If one decides to do two coats, can those be re-used for the second coat? Or are new/unused applicator and towels required? 2. If the wait time between coats is 2-4 hours and since the film (just after application) starts to form dependent on temperature and humidity, shorter times for higher temps and higher humidity, is it safe to assume the same thing effects the wait time between coats? If it's cooler and dryer, should one wait 4 hours instead of 2 hours for hotter and more humid? Or do those factors not really matter for the wait time? Is 2-4 hours just a fixed window where it's safe to reapply? Things have changed SO MUCH since I stopped taking good care of my car 15 years ago. I've had to almost start from scratch to learn all the products and methods for good car care. You've helped a lot in that regard. Thank you for all the great (often detailed *thumbsup*) information!
1. You have time to apply the second coat and discsrd the towels afterwards. 2. It’s just a safe window to apply the second coat. Don’t overthink the moment here.

Just used it on my X5mc , does a great job! If you have a large/high SUV best to 1/2 windshield at a time. Pressure washer is far better to remove stripper
Yeah I think it's one of the highlights of this product: easy of use. Now everyone can coat their glass. If it lasts anywhere as long as they claim, it's a great purchase.
I knew that Mazda 5 first thing, always great to see Pan! And then Andy! I think you're both awesome! Stoner makes an awesome coating here, I like the glass stripper and the invisible glass also. Quick with great results
I would add one more step. I usually use a clay bar to remove embedded dirt and fallout thats stuck in microscopic pits and valleys of the glass surface. This will enhance the attachment and durability of the ceramic coating.

I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. Durability, like for any protection, is estimated in perfect laboratory conditions. In real world conditions, many factors obviously influence durability: mileage, weather, conditions, maintenance, application, prep. So I consider durability claims more as indicators of durability more than actual longevity. For example, I expect a 3 year ckating to last longer than a 1 year coating, but in my harsh Canadian weather, I doubt it will reach the claimed 3 years.
Hello Pan. I am wondering is the glass stripper that in this kit the same as most glass polishe; which is Cerium oxide? Or is it different? I was watching another video where it metal polish and their buff ball work fantastic and quicker than going through the Glass polishing way. Otherwise I am wondering if you could also use a heavy cut compound instead? My last question would you still recommend using let's say Aquapel as a good alternative?
Many questions here hehe. I don’t know the formula of the Stoner glass stripper so I can’t speculate. You could use a paint polish on glass but I prefer dedicated glass polishes on glass. Aquapel is a great glass sealant. I lasts 4-6 months in my tests. Regardless of which glass sealant or coating you end up applying, prep is key.
That stuff worked great, love watching the video learn so much about detailing and products over the years. I would like to see u do a Jax Wax product review and see your thoughts on it.😁😁

I've used their glass stripper and follow up with their glass cleaner. I use Turtle Wax's graphene infused detail mist as the final step. I took the vette on a 350 mile drive yesterday and while the novistretch bra protected the bumper, the TW protected the windshield. Got home and just using a dry MF towel easily wiped the bug residue off. I will however give Stoners product a try for the longer lasting protection. I see your brother still likes sitting back and watching you do all the work.......lol
Hi Pan. Thanks for the ‘potential’ future long term feedback. Next time I drive up to Montreal, I’m gonna track you down, and swap out Andy’s Mazda, for my New Soul Red Crystal Metallic 2023 Mazda 3 AWD TURBO !!!! Lololol You’ll never notice ! -Much Love from: TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA 🇨🇦 !!!!
One trick I like to do when applying a glass coating is to use a surface prep/IPA type product instead of glass cleaner to get off any residue from the glass polish
The issue with IPA one its own, without decontamination before that, is it might not remove bonded contaminants in the glass. Don't forget that glass is porous and does accumulate grime and contamination, like paint. I like to clay the glass, or use a specific glass compound and mechanically polish the glass surface. And after that, yes you can use a surface prep spray if you want.
Cool video, though I'm seeing it a year after the fact!😮💨 I've been told that Invisible Glass Striper is also good for eliminating water spots. Will be sure to get some!! Thanks for posting and including Andy! Enjoy your time in Japan!! 😊
I bought this kit last week after watching this video, and am going to use it tomorrow. What about wiper blades? Does anyone make a wipe on coating for them? Thanks for all the great videos!
Most people just apply a bit of the same coating on the blades. When you’re done coating the glass, use that same damp applicator and apply a bit to the wiper blades. Wait a minute and buff with a towel.
Thanks for sharing your experience Michael. In theory, the Invisible Glass, being a true glass coating in a glass bottle should last much longer compared to a misting spray.
Thanks for the detailed video. Going to apply this tomorrow, would you also put this on side/rear windows and sunroof glass, or just stick to windshield?
The windshield is the most important by far, but you can for sure coat all the exterior glass surfaces to make them hydrophobic and easier to clean. Welcome to my channel.

Hi Pan I just bought one of these off a local detailer and will be applying it to my vehicle. Can I follow the same instructions but polish the glass with my DA also? Will the windshield crack if it’s too cold with my DA?
Pan, love the videos and the channel. I would love to see a comparison between the Invisible glass ceramic and the Griots glass sealant and/or the Griots ceramic glass product. Thank you

@@PanTheOrganizer i found it searching for car detailing a couple of years ago trying to further my knowledge and expand my enthusiasm for detailing cars for my personal enjoyment and helping my friends. I've really enjoyed your channel and look forward to your videos. BTW, i would love to see you do something with the new turtle wax clear coat restorer product. I need to use it for my friends car but i can't find much on it and would like to see a live demo on it to see how it really works. Thanks. Great channel
Great video Pan. I have some slight water spots on the side windows of my car. Should I buff those out with my polisher before using Invisible Glass ceramic coating?
Great video, hi to Andy, only thing you missed is the wiper blades how about cleaning them or protecting them, as the coating is only as good as the blades 👍
The Ultra Glaco is still better in my opinion. In fact in took first place for best glass coating in my popular annual car detailing products awards video here: ua-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/v-deo.htmlsi=jqXzW88cp0WeG0AX
Curious if you’re brother has any feedback on driving at night with the coating on the glass. I tend to shy away from any kind of coating on the front glass, as it almost always leads to glare and/or haloing around the lights of oncoming cars at night.
I haven't heard any issues from the owners of the vehicles we applied this to so far. They are all pretty happy. Prep is key before applying any glass coating.
Pan thanks for the video and all the details for application. With that one kit how many windshields could you do maybe? I have more then one car I would like to do and since it only last 14 days. I want to use it up and do a few of my cars.
Great video! I was wondering if you were ever going to do a video about cleaning the textured bed lining on a pickup truck? And what products to use to keep it looking fresh? Just wondering?

I live is hot and sunny Florida and I don't have a garage I can just leave my vehicle in for 24 hours. We never really know when it will rain so using this, ethod will be very tough for me. I used a clay bar and them waxed the windshield about a year ago and it still beads up and rolls off the windshield. I have been using newspaper for cleaning my windows for over 25 years and never had an issue. I've tried microfiber and I just don't see the benefit when drying. What are your thoughts?
Tried the ceramic glass coating today. The cleaner got rid of some water spots that I was unable to remove. I did let it dry perhaps a bit long, so my garden hose didn't really wash it off. I just used a drying towel to clean off all the residue. The sealant went on easily. I used the two towels included to wipe off excess and buff. Looks good so far. Question: instructions say to throw away the sealant applicator pad. What could I use in place of it?
My experience too with the stripper - I didn't want to take the time to hook up my pressure washer, so I just used the garden hose and it didn't come off completely. I wiped it with a drying towel and then sprayed it again and all was good.
Thanks! No issues with wiper judder. Glass prep is key before application and make sure you clean your wiper blades. Same applies to all glass coatings.
You're the man! I am going to order this kit and have an application party with a couple of my friends. BTW, do you think this could be applied to the wiper arms? My goal is to prevent fading on a new set. Thank you.
Interesting video PAN, I was wondering about a couple things, Firstly what benefits does this product offer over my standard window application of Adams Graphene ceramic coating? Secondly, what kind of film does it leave on the glass so in the rain at night the wipers create a film thats difficult to see through?
I prefer dedicated glass coatings on glass. They tend to perform better and last longer. I never had issues with coatings creating films on the glass. A grest trick to have a crystal clear windshield is to degrease the interior of the windshield following tips in my popular tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/3rF6keJ88Y8/v-deo.html
Hi pan.. what liquid recommand for seleant? I need a ultra shine and protetion paint. However the turtle wax is not available in Portugal... do you recomend other product?
Hi there, if you have a wax and a ceramic detailer, which product should you use for the best protection, i umderstand that wax and ceramic coats dont mix well but how about was and the aforesaid detailer?
You have to strip any old protection off the windshield first, before applying any glass coating. Hence the glass stripper step shown in the video. You need to ensure a proper bond of the coating to the glass surface.
Thanks for the video! If I use this kit to coat all of the windows on my car, or if I try to do two cars back-to-back, am I going to need to throw away the microfibers and get new ones pretty frequently? or would I be able to use the same ones if I was doing all of it at roughly the same time?
Merci encore une fois pour tes super vidéos! Petite question, ton glass cleaner c'est des nouvelles bouteilles avec se sprayer? Sinon où je peux m'en procurer? Merci
C’était une nouvelle bouteille oui, même produit à l’intérieur. Il y en avait sur Amazon, mais je ne sais pas s’ils en font encore. Il y a eu un moment où la chaîne d’approvisionnement rendait difficile même l’obtention de bouteilles et vaporisateurs.
No as it’s pretty straightforward. If you want to apply a brand’s professional grade coating, you need to become a certified installer for that brand. For example, for CarPro. If you apply their consumer grade coating, CQuartz UK 3.0, no need to become certified, as everyone can buy it. If you want to apply their professional grade coatings, like CQuartz Professional or CQuartz Finest Reserve, you need to be a professional detailer and go through their certification process. So you would reach out to them.
Great Video, Did my wife truck and she loves it. Mine is next. Love how in depth you get with how to apply and the chemistry as well. How much should above avg. DIY detailer charge for just the windshield for this process. I live near Detroit MIchigan. Thanks love your videos.
Thanks Dave. It's impossible to discuss prices online, as pricing depends on many factors including the location. A detail job in New York won't cost the same in Montreal, or Paris for example. Even within the same country/state, there are often differences from one city to another, one neighbourhood to another. Your best bet is to see what detailers near you charge for such a service, and adjust pricing from there. Welcome to my channel.

Dont use the Wipers if the Screen is coated.
The Airflow blows the Beaded Water off the Screen.

I hope you take time to watch the videos from beginning to the end! :)
@@PanTheOrganizer I will for sure👍🏻.
Great to see you Andy!!
👍🏻
That glass stripper product is very good in my experience and helps the next step to bond.
Absolutely
Hey Pan, big fan of the channel. I am looking to purchase a glass coating product for my F30 BMW. Which one do you think I should get for my windscreen? The glaco or the invisible glass? Also I would like to coat my side windows, mirrors and the rear glass. Which product would you recommed for these?
Great video, Pan! Your 5 Month Update video lead me here.
I do have a couple of questions, though.
1. You have only used one coat (understandable for a test/experiment) but you indicated two coats could be applied. You said to toss the applicator and towels after use because the coating forms crystals but how fast do those crystals form making the applicator and trowels unusable? If one decides to do two coats, can those be re-used for the second coat? Or are new/unused applicator and towels required?
2. If the wait time between coats is 2-4 hours and since the film (just after application) starts to form dependent on temperature and humidity, shorter times for higher temps and higher humidity, is it safe to assume the same thing effects the wait time between coats? If it's cooler and dryer, should one wait 4 hours instead of 2 hours for hotter and more humid? Or do those factors not really matter for the wait time? Is 2-4 hours just a fixed window where it's safe to reapply?
Things have changed SO MUCH since I stopped taking good care of my car 15 years ago. I've had to almost start from scratch to learn all the products and methods for good car care. You've helped a lot in that regard. Thank you for all the great (often detailed *thumbsup*) information!
1. You have time to apply the second coat and discsrd the towels afterwards.
2. It’s just a safe window to apply the second coat. Don’t overthink the moment here.
Thanks for the kind words about my videos!

Just used it on my X5mc , does a great job! If you have a large/high SUV best to 1/2 windshield at a time. Pressure washer is far better to remove stripper
Thanks for sharing your experience Robert. Did you notice how simple the coating was to apply and level?
It was very easy!
Yeah I think it's one of the highlights of this product: easy of use. Now everyone can coat their glass. If it lasts anywhere as long as they claim, it's a great purchase.
@Pan The Organizer I have always used their glass cleaner, it performs well. I will try and update you a few months down the road.
👍🏻
I knew that Mazda 5 first thing, always great to see Pan! And then Andy! I think you're both awesome! Stoner makes an awesome coating here, I like the glass stripper and the invisible glass also. Quick with great results
Thanks for watching!
Great video, Pan!
Thanks Brett!
Thanks for sharing, looks like a great product 👍
Thanks for watching!
I would add one more step. I usually use a clay bar to remove embedded dirt and fallout thats stuck in microscopic pits and valleys of the glass surface. This will enhance the attachment and durability of the ceramic coating.
Yes
Awesome video and product review/tutorial good friend
Thanks Richard!
You're an awesome brother Pan!
Thanks Ed! I try to be a good role model for him.
Good video.
Thanks Art!
Thanks, Pan….useful new product! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video and as always a great explanation! I just seriously doubt the "24 month" longevity... as we know they always slightly exaggerate a bit!

Durability, like for any protection, is estimated in perfect laboratory conditions. In real world conditions, many factors obviously influence durability: mileage, weather, conditions, maintenance, application, prep.
So I consider durability claims more as indicators of durability more than actual longevity. For example, I expect a 3 year ckating to last longer than a 1 year coating, but in my harsh Canadian weather, I doubt it will reach the claimed 3 years.
Hello Pan.
I am wondering is the glass stripper that in this kit the same as most glass polishe; which is Cerium oxide? Or is it different? I was watching another video where it metal polish and their buff ball work fantastic and quicker than going through the Glass polishing way.
Otherwise I am wondering if you could also use a heavy cut compound instead?
My last question would you still recommend using let's say Aquapel as a good alternative?
Many questions here hehe. I don’t know the formula of the Stoner glass stripper so I can’t speculate.
You could use a paint polish on glass but I prefer dedicated glass polishes on glass.
Aquapel is a great glass sealant. I lasts 4-6 months in my tests.
Regardless of which glass sealant or coating you end up applying, prep is key.
Hello! Yes Stoner Glass Stripper is formulated with Cerium Oxide.
@@StonerCarCare
Thank you!
wow. you heard my wish yesterday :)
much love❤
😁👍🏻
Nice! I'll have to get me a kit for my car! Hello Andy Hello Pan, nice video!
Thanks Tamra!
Very nice of you to do that for your brother
😁
That stuff worked great, love watching the video learn so much about detailing and products over the years. I would like to see u do a Jax Wax product review and see your thoughts on it.😁😁

I've used their glass stripper and follow up with their glass cleaner. I use Turtle Wax's graphene infused detail mist as the final step. I took the vette on a 350 mile drive yesterday and while the novistretch bra protected the bumper, the TW protected the windshield. Got home and just using a dry MF towel easily wiped the bug residue off. I will however give Stoners product a try for the longer lasting protection. I see your brother still likes sitting back and watching you do all the work.......lol
Hehe he loves that zero effort detailing! 😂
Another great video 🔥
Thanks!
Ive had this on my windshield since last August, still holding strong.
Cool! Good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience.
That looks awesome can’t wait to see how long it lasts. Sorry about your hockey team those panthers beat my Bruins too😢
Hehe yeah
Hi Pan.
Thanks for the ‘potential’ future long term feedback.
Next time I drive up to Montreal, I’m gonna track you down, and swap out Andy’s Mazda, for my New Soul Red Crystal Metallic 2023 Mazda 3 AWD TURBO !!!! Lololol
You’ll never notice !
-Much Love from: TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA 🇨🇦 !!!!
Hehehe! Congrats on your new Mazda 3! That Soul Red color is exceptional!
Let’s go Andy! 🙌🏻
😁
One trick I like to do when applying a glass coating is to use a surface prep/IPA type product instead of glass cleaner to get off any residue from the glass polish
The issue with IPA one its own, without decontamination before that, is it might not remove bonded contaminants in the glass. Don't forget that glass is porous and does accumulate grime and contamination, like paint. I like to clay the glass, or use a specific glass compound and mechanically polish the glass surface. And after that, yes you can use a surface prep spray if you want.
Looks like a great product!
Thanks for watching!
Cool video, though I'm seeing it a year after the fact!😮💨 I've been told that Invisible Glass Striper is also good for eliminating water spots. Will be sure to get some!! Thanks for posting and including Andy! Enjoy your time in Japan!! 😊
Glad you liked the video! I’m back from Japan. What a nice trip! People there are so kind, beautiful places to visit, great food!
I bought this kit last week after watching this video, and am going to use it tomorrow.
What about wiper blades? Does anyone make a wipe on coating for them?
Thanks for all the great videos!
Most people just apply a bit of the same coating on the blades. When you’re done coating the glass, use that same damp applicator and apply a bit to the wiper blades. Wait a minute and buff with a towel.
Another informative video. I'm getting good results with Turtle Wax Slick Glass Mist. It would be interesting to see which product lasts the longest.
Thanks for sharing your experience Michael. In theory, the Invisible Glass, being a true glass coating in a glass bottle should last much longer compared to a misting spray.
@@PanTheOrganizer Merci
Thanks for the detailed video. Going to apply this tomorrow, would you also put this on side/rear windows and sunroof glass, or just stick to windshield?
The windshield is the most important by far, but you can for sure coat all the exterior glass surfaces to make them hydrophobic and easier to clean.

Hi Pan I just bought one of these off a local detailer and will be applying it to my vehicle. Can I follow the same instructions but polish the glass with my DA also? Will the windshield crack if it’s too cold with my DA?
Great video
Thanks Bob!
Pan, love the videos and the channel. I would love to see a comparison between the Invisible glass ceramic and the Griots glass sealant and/or the Griots ceramic glass product. Thank you

@@PanTheOrganizer i found it searching for car detailing a couple of years ago trying to further my knowledge and expand my enthusiasm for detailing cars for my personal enjoyment and helping my friends. I've really enjoyed your channel and look forward to your videos.
BTW, i would love to see you do something with the new turtle wax clear coat restorer product. I need to use it for my friends car but i can't find much on it and would like to see a live demo on it to see how it really works. Thanks. Great channel
Great video Pan. I have some slight water spots on the side windows of my car. Should I buff those out with my polisher before using Invisible Glass ceramic coating?
You should absolutely remove those with a glass polish and glass pad. Watch my glass polishing tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/yMi5PtyqUI8/v-deo.html
Great video Pan. Have you had issues with wiper skipping because of this product?
No issues on wipers skipping. Also, I will have a 5 month update coming later this month. Stay tuned!
Great video, hi to Andy, only thing you missed is the wiper blades how about cleaning them or protecting them, as the coating is only as good as the blades 👍
I have a tutorial on cleaning wiper blades here: ua-cam.com/video/eB5NtttIkPE/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer hope you cleaned Andy's blades 😊
Is it okay to use a Windshield Washer Fluid after applying this?
Oh, and how about a demo using the wiper itself instead of just spraying water on it?
Thanks for this review Pan, how would this compare to the Glaco soft coating? Thanks!
The Ultra Glaco is still better in my opinion. In fact in took first place for best glass coating in my popular annual car detailing products awards video here: ua-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/v-deo.htmlsi=jqXzW88cp0WeG0AX
Another great video Pan. Will this product work for shower glass doors?
Yes
Curious if you’re brother has any feedback on driving at night with the coating on the glass. I tend to shy away from any kind of coating on the front glass, as it almost always leads to glare and/or haloing around the lights of oncoming cars at night.
No issues so far.
Hello...thanks for the great video. How well does this product do against highlight glare and glare from traffic lights? Thank you.
I haven't heard any issues from the owners of the vehicles we applied this to so far. They are all pretty happy. Prep is key before applying any glass coating.
Excellent as ALWAYS!!! Invisible Glass Ceramic Coating vs Galco Ultra. Which takes the win? Wanna do my Mitsubishi FQ 360 EVO X with one of them 🙂
Ultra Glaco is hands down my favorite DIY glass specific coating. It won first place for best glass coating in my latest awards video.
Thank you!! Ill be ordering it today :)@@PanTheOrganizer

Question: how long do you keep indoors after applying to cure?
Pan thanks for the video and all the details for application.
With that one kit how many windshields could you do maybe? I have more then one car I would like to do and since it only last 14 days. I want to use it up and do a few of my cars.
It depends on the size of the vehicle, and if you are coating only the windshield or all the exterior windows. But a few cars for sure.
Great video! I was wondering if you were ever going to do a video about cleaning the textured bed lining on a pickup truck? And what products to use to keep it looking fresh? Just wondering?
I don’t really have customers with pickups, but if I do, I’ll make a video.
@Pan The Organizer thank you so much! I love the fact that you are so hands on with your fans and quick to respond! You're great!

Hello Pan
What would you recommend to to clean and protect a panoramic sunroof?
The same products as for the windshield. See my video here: ua-cam.com/video/usdM-TrT7fg/v-deo.html
I live is hot and sunny Florida and I don't have a garage I can just leave my vehicle in for 24 hours. We never really know when it will rain so using this, ethod will be very tough for me. I used a clay bar and them waxed the windshield about a year ago and it still beads up and rolls off the windshield.
I have been using newspaper for cleaning my windows for over 25 years and never had an issue. I've tried microfiber and I just don't see the benefit when drying. What are your thoughts?
Question just bought SPTA battery sprayer and bilt Hamber auto foam what dilution do you recommend?
Tried the ceramic glass coating today. The cleaner got rid of some water spots that I was unable to remove. I did let it dry perhaps a bit long, so my garden hose didn't really wash it off. I just used a drying towel to clean off all the residue. The sealant went on easily. I used the two towels included to wipe off excess and buff. Looks good so far. Question: instructions say to throw away the sealant applicator pad. What could I use in place of it?
Thanks for sharing your experience. You can use any other coating applicator that you might already have, or one like this: amzn.to/3WyG2OI
My experience too with the stripper - I didn't want to take the time to hook up my pressure washer, so I just used the garden hose and it didn't come off completely. I wiped it with a drying towel and then sprayed it again and all was good.
Good evening, how do the wipers react with the coating? Love the content and delivery!
Thanks! No issues with wiper judder. Glass prep is key before application and make sure you clean your wiper blades. Same applies to all glass coatings.
Will have to try this… Hey Pan how do you like the bigboi blower?
See my comments about all my blowers here: ua-cam.com/video/4up2Atg4ks0/v-deo.html
You're the man! I am going to order this kit and have an application party with a couple of my friends. BTW, do you think this could be applied to the wiper arms? My goal is to prevent fading on a new set. Thank you.
This is made for glass, but some people sometimes apply a bit of the coating on wiper blades. You'd have to ask Stoner if it's compatible with rubber.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you.
Can this technique be used for a glass shower door?
IMHO, yes as long as the shower is glass and not plastic. Using their new glass cleaner with repellant will be great in the shower too!
Yes. I even made a video about glass shower doors here: ua-cam.com/video/hYVfR_3ssWo/v-deo.html
Is there enough in the kit. To coat all glass on a Tesla? Windshield, roof, hatchback, & side windows? Thank you
Yes
Interesting video PAN, I was wondering about a couple things, Firstly what benefits does this product offer over my standard window application of Adams Graphene ceramic coating? Secondly, what kind of film does it leave on the glass so in the rain at night the wipers create a film thats difficult to see through?
I prefer dedicated glass coatings on glass. They tend to perform better and last longer. I never had issues with coatings creating films on the glass.
A grest trick to have a crystal clear windshield is to degrease the interior of the windshield following tips in my popular tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/3rF6keJ88Y8/v-deo.html
Hi PAN , GREAT Video once again :)
Did you ever try the new "STONER INVISIBLE GLASS HYBRID CERAMIC RAIN REPELLENT & GLASS CLEANER" in spray format ?
I haven’t tried it yet. But Stoner says it’s a great maintenance product for their glass coating.
Hi pan.. what liquid recommand for seleant? I need a ultra shine and protetion paint. However the turtle wax is not available in Portugal... do you recomend other product?
You're in luck. I made a video about the best liquid waxes and sealants here: ua-cam.com/video/yuHqg-AbtdI/v-deo.html
Hi there, if you have a wax and a ceramic detailer, which product should you use for the best protection, i umderstand that wax and ceramic coats dont mix well but how about was and the aforesaid detailer?
You have to strip any old protection off the windshield first, before applying any glass coating. Hence the glass stripper step shown in the video.
You need to ensure a proper bond of the coating to the glass surface.
Thanks for the video!
If I use this kit to coat all of the windows on my car, or if I try to do two cars back-to-back, am I going to need to throw away the microfibers and get new ones pretty frequently? or would I be able to use the same ones if I was doing all of it at roughly the same time?
Once you are done using the towels after the first application, you throw them away, unless you immediately do another windshield after the first one.
Great video. Does it create any wiper skipping?
None so far.
Merci encore une fois pour tes super vidéos! Petite question, ton glass cleaner c'est des nouvelles bouteilles avec se sprayer? Sinon où je peux m'en procurer? Merci
C’était une nouvelle bouteille oui, même produit à l’intérieur. Il y en avait sur Amazon, mais je ne sais pas s’ils en font encore. Il y a eu un moment où la chaîne d’approvisionnement rendait difficile même l’obtention de bouteilles et vaporisateurs.
Question Pam do you have a video where you explains if you need to get certification to be a professional detailer?
No as it’s pretty straightforward. If you want to apply a brand’s professional grade coating, you need to become a certified installer for that brand.
For example, for CarPro. If you apply their consumer grade coating, CQuartz UK 3.0, no need to become certified, as everyone can buy it.
If you want to apply their professional grade coatings, like CQuartz Professional or CQuartz Finest Reserve, you need to be a professional detailer and go through their certification process. So you would reach out to them.
Great Video, Did my wife truck and she loves it. Mine is next. Love how in depth you get with how to apply and the chemistry as well. How much should above avg. DIY detailer charge for just the windshield for this process. I live near Detroit MIchigan. Thanks love your videos.
Thanks Dave. It's impossible to discuss prices online, as pricing depends on many factors including the location. A detail job in New York won't cost the same in Montreal, or Paris for example. Even within the same country/state, there are often differences from one city to another, one neighbourhood to another. Your best bet is to see what detailers near you charge for such a service, and adjust pricing from there.
