Thank you for using DIY Detail Incredible Suds. Great content as always.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Pan, once again you nocked it out of the park l am now more educated and am clearer on the process. Thank you
I recently really got into detailing and you have been a huge inspiration! I did my first coating with Gyeon Pure EVO, and now I have sooo many Gyeon products 😁 recently was able to get my own cabinet to organize my microfibers as well and it is amazing. I used to have one shelf on an open rack and it was so cluttered and disorganized. Thank you for what you do, I have truly found a love for detailing. I may not do it at a professional level but I am finding joy in it, and I can't say that about many things.
Thanks! One of the goals of my channel is to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers, in hopes to give you guys the detailing bug and make it your passion too! It's such a soothing and relaxing experience for me to detail cars. By the way, how did you discover my channel? Welcome to my channel.

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.
I got Gyeon PPF coating on my front end PPF and Gyeon Wax on the rest of the car as teh new car had a paint sealant put on by dealer, but my work is amazing on it. Gyeon Trim and Can-Coat EVO going on the trims, front grille and last bit of areas. Very nice line of products.
Same deal with me. I started small with just a few products and now have a pressure sprayer, steam cleaner, polisher and everything between! I do my cars, my families cars, my friends cars, etc. I put my headphones on, get a podcast going and peacefully spend a few hours detailing over the weekend. It's fun.
The community appreciates you doing in-depth videos like this Pan. I myself have learned a lot from you and channels like yours over the years and definitely have cut costs by using trusted and reviewed products instead of messing around with things that don't work. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
Just a quick note that your messages are getting through. It's quite overwhelming trying to sort through the literally thousands of products out there, your channel makes it so much easier. I'm glad that you have the background that you do, I feel as though I can rely on your word with much more certainty than many of the other channels out there. You also bring with that knowledge the spirit of fun, you obviously love what you do and it's very catching. Thanks, Pan! Enjoying your channel and a huge shout-out to your girlfriend's excellent photography, she's great at what she does, and it makes your channel one of the very best out there. Send her our thanks.
As usual Pan, you are answering the questions that I have and questions that I didn't know I had on using Snow Foam. I have a better understanding of the differences in PH Neutral, acidic and akaline as well as the need for pre-washing with Snow Foam. As a DIY'er, I learn so much watching your content. Thanks so much and keep these videos coming !
You are so welcome! I appreciate the positive feedback!
Love your podcasts, no loud crap music, no goofy jive talk, and l do have a foam gun pressure washer, and l do find slick and slide turtle shampoo product very good with my black mustang, so keep bringing these excellent podcasts to us, thanks.😊

When I dove into the detailing world I got a foam cannon and used it all the time. Along with the 2 bucket method. Neither of which I use now. If I can’t bust the dirt/debris off with a regular pre-wash rinse then a foam cannon certainly won’t help. Your videos are always worth a watch and I watch them for a lot of decision making when I am on the fence. Appreciate you, sir!
Thanks!
Hi pan you have proof that snow foams work in past videos using the right products and techniques great job 👏
Love it love it love it! Thanks Pan for all the advice you keep dishing out for us. I'm a detail nerd for home use and love the Bilt Hamber and KC GSF in my foam canon. I find quite often if I'm in a hurry the Koch Chemie GSF hit my truck or car, let it sit and rinse and usuallyt do a good enough job by itself. Pan, your awesome buddy keep dishing out the advice we all love it.
You are so welcome!
Thanks, Pan, for another consistently excellent video. One reason that I'm averse to using these highly acidic or alkaline detergents is because of the effect on rubber and plastic trim. If I were to use one, I would follow up the wash with an application of some protectant to the plastic and rubber to keep them from drying out.
I don't recommend using high or low pH snow foams on a regular basis. Use it on an as needed basis, every other month or when a deeper cleaning is needed. And in all these years of detailing, I have yet to see any uses once common sense is applied and the products are used correctly. I mean they were formulated by car detailing manufacturers that understand the surfaces well. We're not talking about using a house grade soap on a vehicle here. Automotive grade stuff made by reputable brands. For regular weekly washes though, all that is needed is a pH neutral snow foam, and pH neutral soap as I mentioned in the video. :)
Thank you for breaking down the information. I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Great video..answered a lot of questions l had regarding foaming. Thanks
Thanks Fred!
I have a mostly touchless method (using a foam canon) going with our Alfa Romeos, but with a couple of special requirements. First and foremost, we had our new house built with a drain and a hot/cold soft water supply. So no sunlight and no hard water, two of the most detrimental factors in my previous 45 years of cleaning cars. I rinse and clean with a pressure washer, which really gets the bug guts, mud and most surprisingly, a lot of the brake dust. The I use the Adam's foam canon using the wonderful Chemical Guys Honeydew soap. At this point, I only use a clean wet mitt to scrub the car, if it had dried road film/salt on it. Otherwise, I let it the foam dwell for 5 minutes or so. I thoroughly rinse with the pressure washer and blow dry. Once a month, I do a final (post blower dry) dry using microfiber towels and P&S Beadmaker. It works wonderfully. The only time I touch our cars 90% of the time is the post blow dry, final towel drying (which isn't much). I think that what makes this method really work is the soft water (an often overlooked issue, IMO) and the P&S Beadmaker. For me, the take-away is that minerals in the water (whether from the wash water supply or embedded in the the road grime) is the real enemy of a "touch-less" wash.
thank you for this wonderful video and explaining the benefits and limitations of these products

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man! I appreciate the positive feedback.
Again great video! Thank you for explaining this process and yes, I was using my foam cannon wrong!
Thanks Jim! How were you using your foam cannon the wrong way?
@@PanTheOrganizer I used regular auto soap and using it to do the washing. I would spray it on and wash that area then do the next part. So changing from foam cannon back to spray wand was not worth it. Now I know it is designed as a PRE wash.
Hi Pan, first I hope you and Isabelle are well. Your information is so valuable to DIY’ers and professionals.
Thanks William!
Great video! Having watched a previous video of on detailing a Volvo. I decided to try some of the product mentioned in that video. I start off with a dry vehicle, use bilt Hamber in a foam cannon and moved over to carpro descale for the two bucket wash. I used it in August. Since then I use carpro reset for my maintenance Wash. Works well for me.
Thanks!
Love this new type of video, very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Pan, not content related, but I like the video format you chose for this one. The brief personal intro and synopsis before even the Pan logo and theme was a welcome change. Cool that you're "switching it up" a bit.
Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback.
Perfect video, I just bought a pressure washer and was looking for a foam cannon. Thanks!
Thanks! Here's a foam cannon battle video I made: kzhead.info/sun/qqpuoKiIfGmspWg/bejne.htmlsi=yd2LoLln3jV9B7cL
I absolutely take your points about pH neutral chemicals. However, I just go straight to BH Autofoam and adjust the dilution ratio. 4% winter 2% summer. And I now use it through an ik sprayer. It really is that good! As you say, go with what you enjoy!
Yup!
Your videos continue to help me improve my detail ability. This video is a perfect example of why i enjoy all your videos. In the off chance you view this. One problem I have had, and im not sure if its due to humidity or what the cause is. But when applying a Quick Detail spray or Ceramic Coat Boost spray. Occasionally i get that visible drying marks from spreading the product; especially when viewed in sun light it becomes evidently at times
Thanks! I don't have much details surrounding what exact products you're referring too and I can't see visually so it's hard to troubleshoot these things at a distance... Did you contact the brand of the specific product you are using?
Great content once again. I would love to see how a manual foam sprayer works with these shampoos Pan. I have tried 3 different soaps in my new Marolex foam sprayer (Marolex Axel FOAMER 2000) and I can't get it to spray consistently for more than 5 seconds. I have played around with the dilution and even reached out to Marolex via email, no support. I know you had a video on their products but not much of the foam sprayer. Thank you as always!
Great video Pan, thank you
Thanks Will!!
Great Video Pan!
Thanks Shawn!
Great content as always Pan. So I was searching for the sds for descale since I like to know a little more about the chemicals I use and found other people also had trouble finding it. I reached out to Carpro and they sent me the sds and the ph of descale according to the sds is ph2. Just passing the info along!
Interesting, as CarPro's USA website clearly states pH 6: www.carpro-us.com/wash/carpro-descale-acid-wash-500ml-17oz/ Perhaps once diluted in the bucket, it goes to pH 6 which could be a possibility. Many chemicals once diluted change pH levels. So perhaps the SDS sheet reflects the pH of the raw soap in the bottle, which would also make sense.
I must’ve missed that when searching for info on descale. Yes that makes sense. Thanks!

Hi Pan, l have been valerting and detailing 16 year's, lm the lead Detailer at Aston Martin at HWM the oldest Aston Martin retailer in the UK. Love my job still doing it at 60 years ago.
I love snow foaming my car! I generally keep my car pretty clean and could probably do a rinseless wash but I enjoy getting out the foam cannon whenever I can. It’s something I enjoy doing at least once a week. Great video my friend. I always enjoy your uploads ☝️👏😃
Thanks Danny!
I tried the TW slick n slide car shampoo and I must confess I was very impressed by the end result. Snowfomed the truck dry, dwell for 5 mins, water pressure wash off and then used the TW slick n Slide. Hand Mitt for contact cleaning, water pressure wash off and then I used. Meguires Ceramic Wax Coating. The end results, after 2hours, was excellent. And today has been one of the dry days here in the UK as the last two weeks has been raining. Love the Videos and always a pleasure watching them.
Thanks for sharing!
@@PanTheOrganizer no! The thanks is down to you! You point out the products which offer good value for money or performance. Either way, your reviews are a “short-cut” through the confusing eco-system of products. Of course, being in the UK, I can look at what’s available and try it myself! Again, thanks for the videos!
I garage my car and mainly use an ONR spray with soft TRC Spectrum 420 towels each time I go out. I only foam my Porsche down once a month now with my ceramic coating. So far so good. Not much road tar on my streets.
Awesome content. Very informative good friend
Glad you liked it
My fave shampoo is Waxedshine "wash". I also use Waxedshine glass cleaner as well.
cool insight about the specifics to the various products. as always very very informative video. the best detailing channel on the planet! what's your thoughts on using dishwashing soap in the canon for a deep deep clean before applying protection? i tried some Palmolive and dawn and they foam really well and smell is therapeutic. since they're super affordable compared to some dedicated car cleaning products
Dishwashing liquid is an old school trick from decades ago. Most stopped using that household item, in preference of actual stripping shampoos formulated for use on vehicles (Adam's Strip Wash, CarPro Descale, McKee's Coating Prep Shampoo, etc). And regardless what stripping shampoo you use, that only starts the braking down process of older protections. To ensure 100% removal, machine polishing is still needed.
Awesome video thank you for sharing God bless 🙏

Thanks Raymond!
Hi Pan you could you do a video on looking after your Foam cannon as some have filters that block up ect. Great video 👍
I have spoken about this in many videos already, including the foam cannon battle ones. Maintenance of a foam cannon is stupid simple, but must be done after EVERY use. Once you are done with the foam cannon, empty the container. Rinse it out, and fill it with clean warm water. Run that through the foam cannon for 30-45 seconds to make sure you flush out any remaining soap or residue out of the internals. After that, let the parts air dry, and ready for next use. I never had a foam cannon block up or clog.
Pan - just found your channel a few days ago and love the content! Subscribed! 😃 This was a timely video for me today as I used my foam cannon today on my Porsche for the first time, and for only the second time overall. I realize washing cars is like religion and politics - everyone has an opinion, none of which are wrong. For me, I just don’t see the benefit of using a foam cannon. My cars never get that dirty here in Florida, and I am religious about keeping them coated in graphene coatings. I get the need to lubricate the surface before washing, but I can get that with simply using a foam gun. No, I don’t get the thick blanket of foam, but the surface gets lubricated. I love washing/detail my cars, but pulling out my pressure washer (and putting it back), is a pain in the ass time-suck for me, and just isn’t worth the results. What I have been doing is using some extra Griots waterless car wash or some detailer spray on the surface after an initial hose-off before using a two-mit hand wash. Seems to do well. Again, just my personal experience. I respect people enjoying the satisfaction of seeing their cars blanketed in foam, it’s just a bridge too far for me. 😜 P.S. - LOVE your Aventurine Turbo S!
I learned so much! Thank you

@@PanTheOrganizer I needed help to clean a really dirty exterior. And this video helped. Can I mix an APC in the foam cannon along with my car shampoo?
I wouldn't mix products if you don't know what you're doing or can't guarantee the chemical compatibility. Just use a higher pH snow foam for the pre-wash, like Bilt Hamber Touch-Less, CarPro Lift, Armour Detail Supply Decon Soap, Koch Chemie Active Foam, etc those are already made for that specific use in the foam cannon. Or some like to spray some APC on the paint and then cover with their usual snow foam, let that dwell, rinse, and then do the contact wash. It depends what you plan on doing after the wash, and what type of protection is on your paint. If you have just a regular wax or sealant, an APC can start to weaken or brake that down. Even some weaker coatings could take a hit if you do that too often. If you don't have any protection and are just looking for a deep cleaning before you do some iron removal, and clay bar for example, then yes you can use the APC followed by the snow foam. But I would simply buy a higher pH snow foam.
@@PanTheOrganizer sounds great! Thanks for responding and for all that you’ve done for me as a weekend warrior.
💪🏻👍🏻
Another awesome episode of Paaannn the Organizer good friend
Thanks for the visit
Thank you Pan for another great video. Whats the main difference between Acidic and Alkaline shampoos? And which of these two is better in terms of cleaning power and not stripping ceramic coat, Carpro Lift or Carpro Reset? So many products and they seem highly similar 🤔🤷🏻♂️
See my video here: kzhead.info/sun/oriadqmXp2SFdK8/bejne.htmlsi=vEAD7T2QENMFe2IK
Based on what I’ve seen, sometimes the prewash foams can work (pending brand) but with my car being covered in PPF it still clings to that fine sort of dust/dirt film . Usually comes off with the second stage foam hand wash (now if the thanksgiving long weekend weather plays ball)
Great explanation as always Pan! For my new Porsche I had ppf installed and ceramic coating on top of it, and I wash it every other week (here in Israel it’s just dust not salt).. Am I doing the car good by using Nanolex foam concentrate (in a medium dilution) ? Will a medium diluted Carpro Lift for example, be as safe as a ph neutral foam?
CarPro Lift is still highly alkaline even when diluted, so no it's not meant for weekly washes like a traditional pH neutral shampoo. Use it on an "as needed basis" for deeper cleanings.
Great content as always. Do Gyeon have an equivalent to carpro lift?
Not quite, but close. This: bit.ly/3QjShw5
Thanks Pan, another detailed factual video...
Thanks! 👍🏻
Hey Pan, As it is winter and I am in the salt belt, I have a new vehicle that is past due for a wash.What foam, shampoo and drying agent do you recommend. Also, they only way I can wash my car is take to the local car wash and then wash by hand, so still waiting on that video to come out. Pan thank you so much! Cheers!
Angie thanks for that great interview with Bob Tiffin
??
Snow foam is great! Pan perhaps you can use the colored ones in the future for more of a dramatic effect. Thanks again for another informative video. Costa
Unfortunately, we don't have the dyes like in Europe here in Canada yet. Koch Chemie has a bunch of dyes that people can use to color their snow foams, but they aren't allowed to be imported to Canada for some reason.
Hi Pan. A Week ago i put gyeon can coat evo on a car. So for the touchless wash to get rid of that grime and dont touch the coating the carpro lift or gyeon foam will be good. Or i was thinking about use gyeon bug& grime as a prewash. What do you think.
Great video Pan. I’ve noticed that European KZheadrs do snow foam differently than Americans. They like a runny snow foam. They always rinse after applying a snow foam and then they don’t reapply it. Your method is similar to how Matt Moreman washes his cars(although you’re more thorough)
There are many ways to wash a car. There is not one single correct way. In fact, rarely do you see two channels wash cars the exact same way. I personally prefer a bit runnier foam (hence why I like the Bilt Hamber so much, and CarPro Lift) as they will drag the dirt down with them, but some prefer a thicker shaving cream like thickness. I don't really mind runny vs thick, as it comes down to personal preference. What's more important is what type of snow foam you are using. If it's a regular weekly maintenance, stick to pH neutral. If it's heavier grime removal, then aim for higher pH. As discussed in the video.
First off, grouping Americans in a single category is ridiculous, as Americans are all colors, races, creeds and ethnicities. That being said, everyone has their preferences. If you're happy with your results, do what you do. My favorite snow foam/pre-wash is Bilt Hamber Auto Foam which is very 'runny' but cleans like the dickens. But the traditional waxes I use don't care for it much so I use Turtle Wax Pure Wash as both my 'snow foam' and my bucket wash. Honestly it's on the runny side as well. I never cared for the 'shaving cream' type snow foams as they always felt to 'dry' for me. My car has been hit four times now parked at work, once I finally get it fixed and re-painted I'm going to use a ceramic coating and enjoy using the remainder of the BH Auto Foam gallon that's been sitting on my garage shelf
I love DIY's Incredible Suds,and their foam,rinse,foam,wash method. I've been using this since March of this year. It works beautifully.
Yes it's very good!
@@PanTheOrganizer The rest of My products have been sitting on the shelf a lot since discovering DIY products.
What’s your favourite product in their lineup?
@@PanTheOrganizer Ceramic Gloss!!
Good pick!
I don't see many of these products on sale in the Netherlands, but I find Gyeon foam to be the best for me out of the ones I've tried. It works ok with a pump sprayer, better than some other brands. For efficiency, it makes removing eg dead insects and most of dirt quite easy when rinsing foam away. Not much dirt left for contact wash.
Gyeon Foam is very good too, so no worries!
CarPro is what I'm using in NL via Waxworld or Detailschuur. Not cheap but great!
Look at bilt hamber products. Touchless and touch on are a good pre and main was for Europeans as good value. Gyeon as pan said are also very good options.
Hi Pan ,if you say snow foam helps lubrication, but once you power wash it off, the lube has gone .Also, the thick foam that just sits there won't lift dirt ,i used to use a runnery foam ,but to be honest, i stopped using snow foam as it its another stage ,but i would jet wash the my truck then make my own foam/soap for a a contact wash ,thanks for all your hard work on these videos ,you have taught me so much ,and i am just about to get in to using a DA 🤘
Hey pan! I’m curious to hear your view in my situation. I did a full decon and clay and the 3d one step prior to adams advanced graphene coat. Garage kept and the car was spotless. I washed the car and used adams graphene detail spray before leaving the car overnight. Next day i had water-spots all over that look etched in. I’m really aggravated with what happened after hours of work on the car Just from one night. I’m hoping you might have an idea to what might’ve happened. Thanks
This video is great, a lot of info but amazing. Thanks!!! So to see if I understood correctly The high PH normally would be to remove that initial road grime so use with Foam Cannon and power wash off but to contact clean. With PH neutrals and I can also Use a Foam Cannon for lubrication when contact washing? I do not use the PH neutral snow foams as soap/shampoo correct, I need to use something as CarPro Reset in a bucket for actual contact cleaning? Thanks again for all the help Pan
Seems like you’re confused a bit. For the pre-wash for weekly washes, use a pH neutral snow foam. Then for the contact wash use what ever pH neutral shampoo you want. Once in a while, for deeper cleaning of grime and road film, you would use an alkaline pH snow foam for the pre-wash, followed by a pH neutral shampoo for the contact wash.
@@PanTheOrganizer seems I was pretty confused, Thanks
No worries, glad I could help.
Tremendous presentation Pan! We can always count on you for quality and honest content! 🙏🏻 Blessings from USA 🇺🇸
Thank you!! I always appreciate the feedback brother.
Great video. How warm the water do you recommend for using in a snow foam cannon?
The warmest you would use to wash your hands is enough.
Thanks Pan! Je te regarde depuis l automne passer quand j ai le goût de changer de voiture et tu m a beaucoup inspiré,j ai commencé à faire du detailling pour les autres et je me suis acheté une superbe lexus rc 350 2020 16000 khm et je te jure que je la minouche et je continue de te regarder!

If you want to try an almost touchless system, try Chem-X stars and stripes. I use it on everything from ceramic coated cars to big rigs without issues. Even their mitt wash can degrease a mining service truck.
Great review on snow foams, thx! One off-topic question - I have recently used CQ Quartz UK (2x) with CQ Quartz SiC as a topper. Super result! With Gliss v2 Hyperslick topper, I used to refresh every washing with CarPro Reload. " No need" says CarPro with SiC topper. Is that true for weeks/months to come or is that only for the first application? In short, is refreshing with Reload after each washing recommended even with CQ Quartz SiC topper?
You never need to use Reload after each weekly wash. That’s overkill. It is recommended to apply a topper once every 2-3 months in a coated car. In your case, that’s when I would apply Reload.
This saves me time and money. Super, thanks!@@PanTheOrganizer
Always a funny debate/issue.
What kind of system do you like for fleet or a non detailing cleaning?
Thanks for the video, Pan. I don't have the luxury of having running water at my apartment. My car cleaning process is taking my car to a DIY coin car wash. I'll foam the car using a Marolex Axel Foamer with a bit of Koch-Chemie GSF and a small amount of my APC to give it a bit of bite. I'll let the foam dwell for a bit and spray the car down using the pressure washer. Then I pull out of the bay and spray the car down with ONR out of a spray bottle and use my Ego blower to dry it off. I'll then drive the car home and and give it a rinseless contact wash. This has been working well for me.
I also use pH neutral snow foam if I need more time for an insect remover or tar remover, for example. I love using the LaboCosmetica #Neve, which can also be used safely in the sun. for winters I use bilt hamber touce less Labocosmetics #Purifica ensures that lime and other deposits on the paint are removed effectively but safely.
Thanks for sharing Patrick!
Any suggestions on where to get spray bottle caps, pumps like tire sealant pumps, as well as pull tops?
With all the products you have what di you use to wash your car every week? Great video as always, thanks!!!
This is a detailing channel so I'm constantly testing techniques and products. But my go-to snow foam and soap for regular washes are the following: Snow foam for foam cannon: bit.ly/3LjcEYv Shampoo for bucket: bit.ly/48fCHtf
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan!!!
👍🏻
Thanks for the video as always! Out of topic, but do you cover in any of your videos the use of no filling polishing products? But reading at the safety data sheets of those silicon free products, all contain a good amount of hydrocarbons.
I have no such videos at the moment. At one point, one must stop overthinking the moment, and just use the correct chemicals for the job. I'm more concerned about product performance than I am with SDS sheets. If we were to focus on SDS alone, nobody would use any chemicals really. As long as your wear PPE and use common sense, work in a well ventilated space, etc, you should be fine.
@@PanTheOrganizer Sure. I have was actually referring to the fact some polishing products give a "false shine" because they contain silicone.
You got any great suggestions on good measuring cups for the dilution ratios? Ones that can hold more liquid and where you can store solution in the bottle? I got the build Hamber and that things huge, hard to always pour it in a small measuring cup. Thanks!

24:36 dude yes!! I couldn't stress this enough myself. Have fun with it.
There you go! ;)
Hey pan, I've been trying to get my detailing going. I'm young and I love what I'm doing but I've tried some products from suds labs and liked them quite a bit and I was wondering if we'll ever see a review from you on some suds lab products like their ceramic wash and their non acid wheel cleaner? Thanks!
If I get enough viewer requests for it, I’ll look into it for sure.
Thanks for the awesome content!@@PanTheOrganizer
Long had a nice new car, got back into car detailing after many years away. Only have a few items amd a small budget. I got a Karcher K4, MJJC snow cannon and a bottle of Turtle Wax Snow Foam Shampoo. All I'm doing right now is snow foaming and letting it dwell before rinsing and then snow foaming again and doing a contact wash, then dry with a microfibre towel. I find the pre rice foam gets rid of all that top surface and lose dirt off before doing the main contact wash. Car always comes out looking shiny and clean. Next upgrade will probably be a pH neutral shampoo for the contact wash. Although my water is quite soft, I still get some water spotting especially on the glass.
Thanks for sharing.
Another excellent video. Historically I use Adam's strip wash but don't care for the formula. Would descale be a good alternative?
Yes Descale is my new go-to strip wash when doing a full car prep and detail. Just keep in mind machine polishing is still needed to ensure 100% removal of any previous protection. You can see my use Descale in my full car details here: Aston Martin Vantage: kzhead.info/sun/gq-gkZexkYiKpKc/bejne.html Volvo XC60: kzhead.info/sun/p9p9cqadpZqPeXk/bejne.html Tesla Model Y: kzhead.info/sun/mtOhm9dwr4JrgZE/bejne.html Porsche 911 Carrera: kzhead.info/sun/Zcekmc2umXinpmw/bejne.html Audi Q7: kzhead.info/sun/p5uBc6aLjaCfrYU/bejne.html
@@PanTheOrganizer I agree on the polish for full remover. I'm a hobby guy. Only do about 75 to 100 cars a year but always enjoy your videos 👍
I have been using the MJJC Pro V2 Foam Cannon with the 1.1 orfice and Simoniz Platinum 2300 PSI 2.0 GPM Brushless Electric Pressure Washer from Canadian Tire and Chemical Guys Mr. Pink Super SUDS foaming shampoo wiht warm water in the bottle. Still searching for the right thicker foam, but I should measure in the bottle the right ratio instead of squirting some in. I also been using Silverwax Foam Load a higher PH pre wash like soap before when needed.
Pan, great info. If you were to use a spray-on iron remover in this prefoam, rinse ,foam, wash, rinse process, at what stage would you use it?
You always completely wash the car first, then use the iron remover like CarPro IronX, Gyeon Iron, etc. See how I fully detail cars in one of the videos below: Aston Martin Vantage: kzhead.info/sun/gq-gkZexkYiKpKc/bejne.html Volvo XC60: kzhead.info/sun/p9p9cqadpZqPeXk/bejne.html Tesla Model Y: kzhead.info/sun/mtOhm9dwr4JrgZE/bejne.html Porsche 911 Carrera: kzhead.info/sun/Zcekmc2umXinpmw/bejne.html Mercedes AMG GT63S matte black: kzhead.info/sun/mLlxqstpo4qsi5E/bejne.htmlsi=oGxoCp8PWt7gTncV Audi Q7: kzhead.info/sun/p5uBc6aLjaCfrYU/bejne.html BMW M6 Gran Coupe: kzhead.info/sun/Y9B8admxgoqpa4k/bejne.html BMW M340i: kzhead.info/sun/mNiRmK6GmHhmeH0/bejne.html Audi RS3: kzhead.info/sun/aZhqnaWCnX16f4U/bejne.html Golf R: kzhead.info/sun/ndZqactsh4mApqM/bejne.html
I enjoy using snow foam. I like the look of a foamed car, it makes the garage smell nice during the wash, and for me, I foam the car, rinse, then foam again and do a bucket wash. So I have lots of lubrication. Overall it makes for a very pleasant experience.
Thanks for sharing.
I want a sugar based shampoo! Bilt Hamber, please, bring your products to Brazil! Nice video Pan, as usual!
Thanks!
I'm a CARPRO person since they have it all 😁 so Descale is acid and I use it to clean waxed cars on which I will apply ceramic coating , LIFT is alcaine and I use it every 4-6 months on ceramic coated cars when I also use ironx to clean the coating so it can function properly again. and RESET is neutral. I love that it can also be used in a snow canon so I use it as added lubricant during maintenance wash because I get cars that are parked outside and the dust is "baked" into the clear coat and I honestly can't imagine just doing a contact wash without first spraying the foam, waiting few minutes to kind of "melt" and lubricate it, rinse it and then snow foam it again and do the contact wash with RESET in my backet. 😃 Great informative video, Pan! Thank you 👌🙂. Question - where would you put carpro iron snow soap? Added lubricant? Regular maintenance wash? Or with Lift every 4-6 months? Thank you! 🙂
I prefer to use the stronger IronX when I need to do chemical decon on customer vehicles. And my car has carbon ceramic brakes, so I don't have iron particles and brake dust, so no need for such soaps in my case. I guess I would use IronX Snow Soap once every other month on a vehicle with steel rotors perhaps, kind of like Gyeon Restart Wash.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you for the reply, Pan 🙂
👍🏻
Great video Pan as usual. Thanks. So I will be receiving a brand new Matte paint car in the next month. I expect to ceramic coat it. I have Adam's car shampoo and CarPro Lift. If I understand, I should be using CArPro at first, then Iron and tar removal and Keyon soap before ceramic coating. Then for future wash, I should use Adam's. Does that make sense ?
See my detail a matte car in these videos: kzhead.info/sun/mLlxqstpo4qsi5E/bejne.htmlsi=HApGOs-WVr0Eq4Rx kzhead.info/sun/aLaok7ewgYOjrYE/bejne.htmlsi=u6xeirOSGM_XuWoy
I bought snowfoam years ago thinking that it would clean the car without touching it. BS! It's only great if your car sat in the garage clean and collected dust. That's about it. But like you said you have to be careful in the drying stages and use lubricants to prevent scratching. Thanks for your wisdom.
There are snow foams that actually do some deeper cleaning, but they are usually higher pH. Case in point, my video here: kzhead.info/sun/fJuzaMWippyIiYE/bejne.htmlsi=zICnd7RDEnvEMcgU But regardless, a snow foam is just part of the prewash. You still have to follow with a contact wash if you want 100% clean results. There’s no such thing as a touchless car wash at the moment.
Have been using CARPRO products lately and I can say its perfect and gorgeous! I saw you said to only use Lift for weekly basis, recently I have just use CARPRO Elixir on my non coated or ppf car, would like to know that is it safe to use it weekly or once per 2 week? There are some cars I don't drive daily but they are kept outdoors so is it safe to do weekly wash with Carpro lift on those too before I use reset to wash them?
I usually foam working in the sun to help avoid water spots, or as lubrication when claying.
Another great content Pan. Can you please make a video about full car steam wash. I saw a video promoting optima steamer in India and South Korea about steam car was detailing. What’s your opinion man? Is steam safe on car paint ?
As water is a abundant natural ressource in Canada, we don't really use steam to wash cars, and I have no interest in that topic, so you won't see that on my channel unfortunately.
@@PanTheOrganizer no offence Pan, I wasn't trying to pick up a fight. I live in Australia and we have serious water restrictions during summer draught. I've seen other countries using steam to wash their cars in order to save water and use less toxic chemicals.
No offence taken hehe. I wasn’t mad at all. I just wanted to clarify why you didn’t see videos on that topic on my channel. ;) By the way, how did you discover my channel? Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on KZhead as we surpassed 930,000 subscribers and we have over 122 million views! 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.
Soap-foaming your vehicle helps loosen the grime and softens bird droppings, and bug splatter, and a bit of degreasing. Foam, let soak for a few minutes, and rinse. You should do this prior to contact washing. The use of soft water (water softeners) and filtering minerals, iron, and other possible contaminates is preferred if available but most people do not as they either reside in an apartment complex or their home is not set up which is not as simple as Pan has you believing because some people do not have the space or money to purchase all this Auto Detailing equipment. Do the best you can with what you have. Your automobile will never be as perfect as it was coming off the production/assembly line unless you start from scratch and spend a whole lot of money on doing it better than from the factory. Custom built that is, encased in glass or impenetrable container, to never be driven, only showcased. Again, do the best you can with the money you budgeted for keeping and maintaining your vehicle in drivable and clean condition [Safety First]. Just a reminder "Nothing lasts forever!".
The most important message I try to tell people is to go out there and enjoy taking care of your car. It should be a fun process. To me, it's not a chore. It's a soothing and relaxing experience. I want people to be able to make it a passion too. And yes, people can absolutely do a great job without having to spend thousands on fancy equipment and expensive products. When I started detailing at 16 years of age, I didn't have the budget I have today, and still made miracles happen. As I grew older, and my passion for detailing became an obsession, I could afford the better equipment and the more expensive products which allowed me to indulge in my passion further and create a channel too. There are good products at all price points. Find something you like, at a price you can afford, and enjoy using it. :)
Hi sir Please a video of how to wash depending on the dirt level on the car And i park my car outside. So how to quickly wash a car that has been recently wash but got rain the next day
East Texas is all sugar sand! I use snow foam to remove the sand that's likely on the vehicle to prevent scratching. I foam it dry, pressure rinse after a time, then hand wash without worry.
Wanted to get some thoughts on Koch-Chemie Active foam. Since its a ph of 9.5, would it be ok to use for weekly washes? There hasn’t been many videos lately regarding this product
All that PH stuff is very clever.
Hi Pan, Is Koch Chemie Gentle Snow Foam safe to use on Carbon Ceramic Brake Disc, and what dilution would you recommend please. Thank you Raj
Yes it's safe. Use 1:10 ratio in foam cannon, same dilution for the paint.
I love this helpful video. But after you're done washing, and based on the last video, Beasley's bead hero or P&S bead maker (or Gyeon wet coat)?
Up to you to decide. Those are three great toppers. Can’t go wrong.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks!

I'm a strong believer of snow foams myself, they create a lot of lubricity to the surface, especially the ph-neutral ones, while lowering the risk of swirls and scratches👍🏻. Superb video Pan, like always❤
Great point!
@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻❤️
You mean you use a snow foam and contact wash it? Here most rinse foam then clean with a shampoo
@@jezlucas3878 I mean you can use it like that as well and I personally think there's no right or wrong method here, just enjoy the detailing experience🙂. Sometimes I do use snow foams as extra lubrication during the contact wash stage, in conjunction with the car shampoo.
@@KonstaNykanen ok I did bring this up with John at forensic detailing but he suggested that shouldn't use a snowfoam as a shampoo for a contact was as doesn't have the same lubrication
