Does anyone make a white or light colored clay mitt or towel? If dropped it would be helpful to see the dirt. Also, I would like to see it after doing 50 cars.
Hi Pan My question is: What do we use after we clay the surface? Also - some part of my car s paint has some dark layer on it over yrs . Would claying be good for it? Please let me know.
I love you:giving correct information, not influencing people about choising what you mention, but just ensuring you made clear the pros and cons of products and then to give also element of evaluation to do personal choice...
I personally used the Nanoskin Fine mitt and Glide lube before I paint corrected and ceramic coated my Hellcat with cQuartz 3.0 UK last month using Pan's videos. It was easy and knowing that I do drop things like towels and have to get another, I decided a clay mitt was best for me. I actually did drop it once, power washed it, and went back to work. Thanks Pan for the reviews. My car looks great!
I was thinking "damm this is a bit too long" but you went over everything very well and concise and even included your enthusiast level products. thank you,
Although I've only used one clay mit at this point in time, I have to say that from what I can tell so far, is that for heavy contamination, a old school poly clay bar will still work best. The car that made me realise that was a MDX that was most likely never detailed. There was some weird heavy iron contamination in the hatch area that took a combination of clay and iron remover to remove. The mit had no chance at tackling that situation. Also the malleability was a big advantage.
You always start with chemical decontamination first (iron, tar) and then follow up with mechanical decontamination using a claybar and clay lube. Watch how I fully detail a car here: ruclips.net/video/etXhJNaF0EE/видео.html
Great Video as always Pan. I have used Clay for years and years - last time I detailed I used the Nanoskin towel and sponge ( both fine grade ) with the Glide 1:10. What an awesome experience with the product and because there is no folding and turning of the clay you can do the entire vehicle in very quick time. In the video you clayed the entire hood in 30 seconds.
Good video, as usual. I used to use a clay bar, but about 9 months ago I discovered a clay mitt. Had to buy it online in Australia, haven't seen one in a shop. And I haven't used a clay bar since. Still got a brand new bar in it's box. I've just worn the mitt out and started on my second one. Just so much easier. Had to buy a container to put it in, everything sticks to it otherwise.
Hehe yeah that tends to happen to all of. I spend countless thousands a year on detailing products and tools. A great passion and there’s some satisfaction when you receive your order, unpack it and get a new product to try. :)
TL:DR - It's fun trying out lots of new stuff but most of us only need a couple hundred bucks of essentials. It's easy to slide down that rabbit hole but for most of us, we only NEED a few critical things to truly produce an outstanding shine. My personal detailing tub consists of these things - Adams Iron Remover - Adams microfiber wash mitt - Adams Interior Detailer - Adams Clarybar - Adams microfiber cloths - Adams tire gloss - Adams Ultra plush drying towel - MeGuiars gold glass wash - Nanoskin clay lube - McKee's Krystal Vision glass cleaner - EZ detail brush for wheels - Home made Isopropyl Alcohol/distilled water spray for old wax/sealant stripping - Shine Supply Slick back (very very fine grit final polish just before applying wax/ceramic/etc) - Shine supply Clutch - Griot's garage orbital polisher - Griot's Finishing pad and an assortment of Cobra cross groove pads It's all together maybe $350 worth of stuff but I've spent a LOT more over the years trying different things like the foam cannons (both hose and power washer style - foam master II that attaches to your hose works perfectly fine) although I typically don't bother with foam unless it's been a month between washing and for that, I use Chemical Guy's watermelon snow foam, I've used several different post-wash sealant sprays, tire shines, interior cleaners, etc. Paint sealant/prep sprays are another thing I've tried several of and good old alcohol and water works just as good. I've got several friends who have a massive collection of detailing supplies and I find that what usually happens (I'm guilty of this as well) is that they buy one product and use it maybe once or twice and then buy something else to try leaving that first purchase to just sort of sit there. So instead of that, we swap products all the time and the general consensus for most of the stuff we've all bought and tried is that unless you are a professional who is extremely familiar with the intricacies of how these products work and what results you are used to seeing, it's all basically the same stuff and for a decently taken care of car, foam and clay are rarely needed and for new cars, a single pass of finishing compound is going to get you a great mirror-like surface for whatever sealant you pick and you shouldn't have to compound/polish again for at least a year if you use the 2 bucket method and go easy when washing with the mitt. I've got ceramic on my wife's car, my Dodge Charger that I just sold only got a finishing pass with MeGuiars 105 ultra cut compound and finished with Chemical guys V07 and after every wash, I would spray the hood, roof and trunk lid with the V07 quick detailer and that was it. When I sold it, the paint still beaded water and felt slick with only minor light swirls from washing and that was it. The ceramic is awesome and I think it's absolutely worth the money but vs my Charger, I couldn't tell a significant difference when it came to ease of washing or quality of shine or anything like that. I just got a new car on a 3 year lease after selling the Dodge and this weekend, my plan is just to wash it, spray it down with iron remover, clay, alcohol prep spray, slick back with the polisher and then throw the V07 on it and after each wash, hit it with the Clutch spray. That will easily keep it pristine until I have to turn it back in.
Great video! I personally use a clay mitt for the large areas then use a bit of clay for the harder to reach areas. And I always get decent results with the mitt. Keep up the good work! 👏
We just washed, clayed, then used Griots Correcting Cream (wow easy to use and a very good one step process and only about $20 per bottle!) using Meguires Microfiber Pads (uses more product than foam but worked very well) then all we did was use The Last Coat the process was easy and fast so we applied 2 coats...don''t know if that was necessary but the car (White 13 Jetta) looks almost new again! Thanks for all your vids!
I'm still using the original Mother's Clay Bar that I bought for my first paint correction but I will switch to a Clay Towel once the weather gets cooler.
I have been using Mother's 2.0 Clay Bar along with Purple Power as a lubricant...I do small sections at a time and rinsing often...It leaves the clearcoat virgin clean...The sealant application afterwards goes on perfectly...The final results are astonishing.
Question - I bought a one-year-old truck a few months ago. Since I had no idea how it had been cared for, I clayed it and added a ceramic coating. How about a video that walks us through what do do when the ceramic coating is 6 - 12 months old. Do I clay again? What if I'm using something like CarPro Reset? Can I just ceramic coat again over the last coating or do I have to start over again? Thanks, Pan. Great videos and great channels.
Hey Pan, I cannot thank you enough!! I’ve learned so much from you! You are my #1 go to for anything detailing!! I’m not a pro, just a DIYer that’s a lunatic about keeping my car looking great! You are awesome man!!
Thank you for explaining “when to use clay bar/media”. My car is still very new but I can see minute scratches on the hood. They can only be seen in good sunlight if you squint and turn your head sideways and look across the hood at eye level. No, I’m not joking. I do that 😉. I thought I needed to remove all the old wax and coating and clay bar, compound, polish, re wax then finally detail spray. Since the car paint still feels like a glass surface I guess that claying is too much. Perhaps the scratches are only wax deep? I only wash my cars by hand and they are garage kept and driven in good weather. I might just remove all the old wax and apply new wax and see how that works.
Mary Hartsock Using polish will remove those minor scratches. It does this by removing a small amount of your clear coat so should be done sparingly. If I was you, I’d just enjoy your new car and perhaps set a calendar reminder in 6 months to do a machine polish :)
Hi Pan. I've learned so many things from all your videos to the point where I want to also start my own detailing business. That being said, one category I feel you are missing in your videos is a "Final Touches" you put on your vehicles. Eg. Going back over and touching the wheels again because you miss a spot. How you inspect the vehicle before delivery and so on. Thanks for all you do, it's very much appreciated!
Pan TheOrganizer I’ve been watching your videos for several months I found it by just searching for detailing videos and was inspired by the quality of work and how easy they are to follow and the steps you take
Thanks so much Pan. Since my car is used. Someone helped me with making my headlights clearer. Well, the spray they used got all on the car or painted surface and now it's hard and rough. This is what I need.
Thanks Pat! If you're talking about overspray, the clay media should take care of that. Light machine polishing afterwards if any residue is still present.
I just stumbled upon ur videos and love how detailed they are! I was hoping this video would show how you use the clay bars/mitts to remove overspray and what else is needed after u use the clay bar/mitt. Do you have any videos on how to remove overspray? I tried searching ur videos and couldn’t find any.
I've been using a clay mitt in conjunction with the chemical iron remover. After that I only have to spend about 15 minutes with the actual clay bar. Great video, Pan!
Pan, excellent explanations on clay media. Two years ago I clayed and applied ceramic to my car. I’ve only driven the car about 3,000 miles since then and keep it well protected from weather in my garage. Just washed it and utilized the plastic bag technique. Felt Very-very minor bumps in surface. You mentioned in video that you don’t recommend claying a ceramic coating. Think I need to clay again before I add another ceramic product to the paint surfaces. I find several of your videos very informative. Thanks for the great information that you provide.
Thanks Jack! If you’re at the end if the life cycle of your coating, I would redo the entire process: wash, iron decon, clay, polish, IPA and reapply a fresh coat. If it’s not the end of the life cycle, use an iron remover, and then after you’re done, apply a coat of silica spray sealant. Avoid claying.
I feel that the clay bar would the best choice to use. Simply because you could actually see the contaminates on the bar as opposed to the clay Mitt or towel. Also, the 3M's, and Meguiar's clay bars, that are made in Japan, are the best to use without spending a lot time claying and removing the contaminates on the finish. I noticed you didn't put the link for the professional grade clay bar from Meguiars, and 3M's, that are made in Japan, as you mentioned both of them here in your video.
WOW, your presentation was about as thorough as I have seen in a detail video. I appreciate the information and will come back for more of your videos. Thank you for all the information. I am going to detail our cars and this made the process much easier having the correct processes.
I enjoy them all and try to take away from each one. I appreciate that you recognize that a lot of viewers want to take care of their car but don’t have the time or inclination to do the whole process. Videos like your one on clay help to clarify the process and give some clear direction. Best when you don’t over complicate the process. I clay, will try the new TW wash and upgrade to their new ceramic product.
Pan, I am guessing that my level of car maintenance is so below your level, it is not even funny. With your description of your products today; what I have been using, & have been blown away by, are lower end detailing items. In the past, I washed cars - & whatever - with dishwashing soap - didn't know that would remove wax. & I didn't know about paint protection, even being needed. Pan, you have opened my eyes to so much, :-) I love Bead Maker. I put it on my FedEx Truck - when I was having 4 tires changed - & it stays so much cleaner. Sure, I still use ?Rain-X on the forward windows as I know how it reacts to wipers. But, it does make the other windows POP on other cars.
Thank you so much for that awesome feedback! You have been a faithful supporter and subscriber for a while now and I’m glad I could transmit my passion to you!

@@PanTheOrganizer so far you helped me choose a good tire cleaner to help prepare the surface for diy prep and paint. I have learnt to wash top to bottom in the cooler times of the day. I have learnt that foaming rinsing then foaming reduces the amount of time in contact wash. White paint is easy to keep clean. Soon I will do a touch up on paint on rough spots, clean full body clay bar on a cool day then do a polish and boom. Nice paint. I would like to request an addition to the videos you have in line. Best budget polishers and compounds for beginners. Thanks Mr. Pan.
@@PanTheOrganizer This lockdown helped me.😃 A few weeks back I was trying find out difference between the talradional wax and ceramic spray wax.. watched your video and hooked on to your channel since then.... Lots of good stuff... 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Pan, may I first compliment you on a very informative video on the distinction between Towel, Glove and Putty, You have just maade up my mind to which one I will purchase, because I have a tendency of dropping things, so its the glove mit for me. Big thanks from over the pond.
Thanks for the feedback. And by the way, I just released a new video showing the evolution in clay here: ruclips.net/video/GK21rRPh1jw/видео.htmlsi=hCxosXked4jpB7d1
I use both the mitt and the bar, as pan stated the bar can get into those tight areas well. I use the mitt for the vast surface areas since obviously the mitt covers more surface area quickly. The bar is just for more tight and precise areas.
Hey Pan! I have a video suggestion for you. I like you live in a harsh winter location, I'd love to see a video of how to clean a really hard winter dirty car for those whom don't have access to a heated garage without access to free flowing warm water. The entire process from removing the built up snow and ice in the wheel wells, caked on salt all that horrible fun stuff. I was also wondering if when it gets to that point can I use products such as Mastersons waterless wash and shine or ONR and power clean? I've been thinking about purchasing the Ammo NYC cleaning kit any thoughts? I saw a chemical guys video where he used eco smart on a really salt black car minus the close up... I know there's a lot in this comment but I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I have watched them all and started detailing my own cars with your advice. I really appreciate people like you. I have one question, how many pads do you typically use when cutting/polishing a car? Do you clean them along the way or just swap them out? Thanks again for everything!!
Thanks Kenneth! For a car, I typically use 4 to 5 pads for the compound, and 4 to 5 pads for the polish. I clean them often with a pad cleaning tool. Most important is to properly clean your pads after each job is done. I have a tutorial on that here: ruclips.net/video/IGDfRjcPaX4/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer my pleasure. I think the comparison of items such as clay bars, mitts and towels. Also the correct way to do things. I would like a concise episode which covers all the processes, like a bullet point check list from dirty car to washing to chemical treatment to clay bar to compound to wax etc. At each stage listing the products in order of price or best to worst. It’s a lot of work but what a definitive list it would be!! Thanks again for what you do 🇬🇧
Very informative, thank you, as I’m looking to get a clay towel. Question: I have a 14 GT500, White with black stripes. The stripes are the issue! Ford has a protected right to these type of stripes ( in other words, they are only available from the dealer ). Well these thing can get marred very easily and even thou I haven’t used anything on them, I tried the Meguiars spray sealant, and they went cloudy! I’m guessing claying them would be out of the question to get a deep clean. Do you have any suggestions? I had to use FW1 on them to restore the gloss and lose the cloudiness on the Meguiars product. I, like you am in Canada, and 1 upper hood stripe is $274 dealer cost! So you can see why I’m nervous about them 😳 .
Very interesting video, I’ve just chosen a Chemical Guys clay mitt, I used traditional clay bar, then moved on to clay block, now I decided to try the mitt, it’s reassuring to know that they are as effective as the clay bar, thank you Pan!!.
Hello Pan,I used a clay bar on my car,but when I visited Halfords UK,I saw a clay towel from the G3 product range,I will use that next time its better than using the bar.
Great video full of useful information! I like traditional clay when time isn’t of the essence. If I need to clay quick I use my clay mitt. I use a ton of lube and I tell my viewers the same thing to not skimp in this area. The $3 worth of lube I use every time is worth it vs causes imperfections I would have to remove later. I need to try one of those clay towels. One question: When I use my clay mitt I notice the little diamonds from the mitt on the paint at the ends of my back and forth motion if that makes sense. Is this normal or have you had this problem? My clay mitt is the fine mitt from Griot’s Garage.
Thanks Brian!! Any clay media can likely marr the finish a bit, but I have not experienced that with my clay towels or mitts. If you do get some light marring, a quick polish usually takes care of that.

As usual another amazing video from my favorite RUclips detailer. Quick question below for you. My wife's car has a ceramic coating but I want to give it its 3 monthly TLC detail. I have heard that using a clay bar over a Ceramic coating is a bug no-no. How do I prep the paint to remove all the rough stuff without the clay towel removing the Ceramic Coating. Thank you
Thanks Pan, I always learn something from your videos. One topic that might be of interest is best methods to clean and protect door/trunk seals...especially so they are not squeaking whenever the car hits bumps and such.
after contact wash and rinse refoam the car and use a clay towel seems to be the most efficient way to decon the paint imo. does a dedicated clay lubricant work, yes but as long as you're using a quality lubricious soap theres no need to spend extra $ on clay lube just make sure you don't use a ceramic or wax based lube ...also don't clay every car you clean unless it's required. only clay unwaxed and neglected paint. if the paint isn't rough to the touch after a wash n rinse don't use it. be safe and make sure to clay on a cool surface out of the sun. happy detailing everyone
Hi Pan, thanks for another great video! I’m about to take my first foray into clay, any thoughts on the Chemical Guys clay block and how it measures up to bars/towels/mitts? Merci!

I use diluted ONR as clay lube and this is very good and cost effective plus it has other uses. Still use the clay bar albeit rarely since the clay mitt makes doing the job way easier and much much faster mainly.

I use a towel everyday at work (nissan dealer) the only time I use a bar is there is rail dust or something stuck on there that the towel wont get off. Its very rare if I have to use a bar. As far as lube goes I use soapy water even know it breaks the clay down faster. Also never ever get body solvent on the clay it will deslove it (found out the hard way lol)
Thanks for the video.. If you use a synthetic lubricant like the Chemical Guys clay luber do you need to use another product to wash the lubricant off the car?

Great Video as always Pan. I have used Clay for years and years - last time I detailed I used the Nanoskin towel and sponge ( both fine grade ) with the Glide 1:10. What an awesome experience with the product and because there is no folding and turning of the clay you can do the entire vehicle in very quick time. In the video you clayed the entire hood in 30 seconds.
Yes the evolution of clay media does help with efficiency, that's for sure.
Good video, as usual. I used to use a clay bar, but about 9 months ago I discovered a clay mitt. Had to buy it online in Australia, haven't seen one in a shop. And I haven't used a clay bar since. Still got a brand new bar in it's box. I've just worn the mitt out and started on my second one. Just so much easier. Had to buy a container to put it in, everything sticks to it otherwise.
sigh, i only just found your channel a week ago, im already $700 deep LOL

- Nanoskin clay lube
- McKee's Krystal Vision glass cleaner
- EZ detail brush for wheels
- Home made Isopropyl Alcohol/distilled water spray for old wax/sealant stripping
- Shine Supply Slick back (very very fine grit final polish just before applying wax/ceramic/etc)
- Shine supply Clutch
- Griot's garage orbital polisher
- Griot's Finishing pad and an assortment of Cobra cross groove pads
It's all together maybe $350 worth of stuff but I've spent a LOT more over the years trying different things like the foam cannons (both hose and power washer style - foam master II that attaches to your hose works perfectly fine) although I typically don't bother with foam unless it's been a month between washing and for that, I use Chemical Guy's watermelon snow foam, I've used several different post-wash sealant sprays, tire shines, interior cleaners, etc. Paint sealant/prep sprays are another thing I've tried several of and good old alcohol and water works just as good.
I've got several friends who have a massive collection of detailing supplies and I find that what usually happens (I'm guilty of this as well) is that they buy one product and use it maybe once or twice and then buy something else to try leaving that first purchase to just sort of sit there. So instead of that, we swap products all the time and the general consensus for most of the stuff we've all bought and tried is that unless you are a professional who is extremely familiar with the intricacies of how these products work and what results you are used to seeing, it's all basically the same stuff and for a decently taken care of car, foam and clay are rarely needed and for new cars, a single pass of finishing compound is going to get you a great mirror-like surface for whatever sealant you pick and you shouldn't have to compound/polish again for at least a year if you use the 2 bucket method and go easy when washing with the mitt.
I've got ceramic on my wife's car, my Dodge Charger that I just sold only got a finishing pass with MeGuiars 105 ultra cut compound and finished with Chemical guys V07 and after every wash, I would spray the hood, roof and trunk lid with the V07 quick detailer and that was it. When I sold it, the paint still beaded water and felt slick with only minor light swirls from washing and that was it. The ceramic is awesome and I think it's absolutely worth the money but vs my Charger, I couldn't tell a significant difference when it came to ease of washing or quality of shine or anything like that.
I just got a new car on a 3 year lease after selling the Dodge and this weekend, my plan is just to wash it, spray it down with iron remover, clay, alcohol prep spray, slick back with the polisher and then throw the V07 on it and after each wash, hit it with the Clutch spray. That will easily keep it pristine until I have to turn it back in.
@@bmatic1319 nothing stopping you in doing the same
Great video! I personally use a clay mitt for the large areas then use a bit of clay for the harder to reach areas. And I always get decent results with the mitt. Keep up the good work! 👏
We just washed, clayed, then used Griots Correcting Cream (wow easy to use and a very good one step process and only about $20 per bottle!) using Meguires Microfiber Pads (uses more product than foam but worked very well) then all we did was use The Last Coat the process was easy and fast so we applied 2 coats...don''t know if that was necessary but the car (White 13 Jetta) looks almost new again! Thanks for all your vids!
Thanks!
I'm still using the original Mother's Clay Bar that I bought for my first paint correction but I will switch to a Clay Towel once the weather gets cooler.
I have been using Mother's 2.0 Clay Bar along with Purple Power as a lubricant...I do small sections at a time and rinsing often...It leaves the clearcoat virgin clean...The sealant application afterwards goes on perfectly...The final results are astonishing.
Autozone has clay towels from their own brand they come in a package 2 clay towels for $16 pretty good deal and they work very well easy to use
Thanks for watching! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizerthrough watching detailing vids across RUclips your channel is always in recommended lists. Keep up the great work Pan!!
are they reusable after disinfecting them?
@@stephencurry305if your drop them on the ground you can rinse them and they'll be fine
Question - I bought a one-year-old truck a few months ago. Since I had no idea how it had been cared for, I clayed it and added a ceramic coating. How about a video that walks us through what do do when the ceramic coating is 6 - 12 months old. Do I clay again? What if I'm using something like CarPro Reset? Can I just ceramic coat again over the last coating or do I have to start over again? Thanks, Pan. Great videos and great channels.
Clear and concise, as usual. 👍
Γειά σου, Παντελή! 😁
Thanks! Opa!
@@PanTheOrganizer Φίλε μου Έλληνας;
Hey Pan, I cannot thank you enough!! I’ve learned so much from you! You are my #1 go to for anything detailing!! I’m not a pro, just a DIYer that’s a lunatic about keeping my car looking great! You are awesome man!!
Perfect timing! I was just reading about synthetic clays and wondered which was better. Great video.
You always learn new things with Pan! 👍🏻
Thank you Pan, like my father would say; "you are one of the good guys." God bless you!!
Thanks Thomas!
"Atleast twice a week" I can imagine you doing that. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you didn't delete that part, was funny.
And as always, great informative video.
😂😂👍🏻
Thank you for explaining “when to use clay bar/media”. My car is still very new but I can see minute scratches on the hood. They can only be seen in good sunlight if you squint and turn your head sideways and look across the hood at eye level. No, I’m not joking. I do that 😉. I thought I needed to remove all the old wax and coating and clay bar, compound, polish, re wax then finally detail spray. Since the car paint still feels like a glass surface I guess that claying is too much. Perhaps the scratches are only wax deep? I only wash my cars by hand and they are garage kept and driven in good weather. I might just remove all the old wax and apply new wax and see how that works.
Mary Hartsock Using polish will remove those minor scratches. It does this by removing a small amount of your clear coat so should be done sparingly. If I was you, I’d just enjoy your new car and perhaps set a calendar reminder in 6 months to do a machine polish :)
Hi Pan. I've learned so many things from all your videos to the point where I want to also start my own detailing business. That being said, one category I feel you are missing in your videos is a "Final Touches" you put on your vehicles. Eg. Going back over and touching the wheels again because you miss a spot. How you inspect the vehicle before delivery and so on.
Thanks for all you do, it's very much appreciated!
Thanks Dylan! How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer I’ve been watching your videos for several months I found it by just searching for detailing videos and was inspired by the quality of work and how easy they are to follow and the steps you take
Thanks for the positive feedback! What country are you watching from? Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!
Pan TheOrganizer I am watching from United States!
🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
I tried clay mitt once and never go back to traditional clay bar since then. Very easy to use.
Yes I agree. I like clay towels.
Excellent choice of topic for instructional video. Thanks for sharing. Love the channel
Thanks for the positive feedback James! I always appreciate it!
I just used a Mother’s clay bar in my car and it came out GREAT!
I always learn something additional when I watch your videos on a certain phase or product.
Thanks John, I appreciate it! What's your favourite video on my channel so far?
Thanks so much Pan. Since my car is used. Someone helped me with making my headlights clearer. Well, the spray they used got all on the car or painted surface and now it's hard and rough. This is what I need.
Thanks Pat! If you're talking about overspray, the clay media should take care of that. Light machine polishing afterwards if any residue is still present.
I just stumbled upon ur videos and love how detailed they are! I was hoping this video would show how you use the clay bars/mitts to remove overspray and what else is needed after u use the clay bar/mitt. Do you have any videos on how to remove overspray? I tried searching ur videos and couldn’t find any.
I've been using a clay mitt in conjunction with the chemical iron remover. After that I only have to spend about 15 minutes with the actual clay bar. Great video, Pan!
Thanks
I like the fact i can see the nasty on the clay bar. IMO Great vid as always.
Pan, excellent explanations on clay media. Two years ago I clayed and applied ceramic to my car. I’ve only driven the car about 3,000 miles since then and keep it well protected from weather in my garage. Just washed it and utilized the plastic bag technique. Felt Very-very minor bumps in surface. You mentioned in video that you don’t recommend claying a ceramic coating. Think I need to clay again before I add another ceramic product to the paint surfaces.
I find several of your videos very informative. Thanks for the great information that you provide.
Thanks Jack! If you’re at the end if the life cycle of your coating, I would redo the entire process: wash, iron decon, clay, polish, IPA and reapply a fresh coat.
If it’s not the end of the life cycle, use an iron remover, and then after you’re done, apply a coat of silica spray sealant. Avoid claying.
I feel that the clay bar would the best choice to use. Simply because you could actually see the contaminates on the bar as opposed to the clay Mitt or towel. Also, the 3M's, and Meguiar's clay bars, that are made in Japan, are the best to use without spending a lot time claying and removing the contaminates on the finish. I noticed you didn't put the link for the professional grade clay bar from Meguiars, and 3M's, that are made in Japan, as you mentioned both of them here in your video.
WOW, your presentation was about as thorough as I have seen in a detail video. I appreciate the information and will come back for more of your videos. Thank you for all the information. I am going to detail our cars and this made the process much easier having the correct processes.
Thanks Bruce! How did you discover my channel by the way?
Say "Clay Media" fast 3 times sounds like "Chlamydia!" LMAO! Still very informative info! Thanks!

I enjoy them all and try to take away from each one. I appreciate that you recognize that a lot of viewers want to take care of their car but don’t have the time or inclination to do the whole process. Videos like your one on clay help to clarify the process and give some clear direction. Best when you don’t over complicate the process. I clay, will try the new TW wash and upgrade to their new ceramic product.
👍🏻👍🏻
Great video Pan! I absolutely love my nanoskin clay towel!! But I still use traditional clay when I'm not pressed for time!
Thanks bro!
Pan, I am guessing that my level of car maintenance is so below your level, it is not even funny. With your description of your products today; what I have been using, & have been blown away by, are lower end detailing items. In the past, I washed cars - & whatever - with dishwashing soap - didn't know that would remove wax. & I didn't know about paint protection, even being needed. Pan, you have opened my eyes to so much, :-) I love Bead Maker. I put it on my FedEx Truck - when I was having 4 tires changed - & it stays so much cleaner. Sure, I still use ?Rain-X on the forward windows as I know how it reacts to wipers. But, it does make the other windows POP on other cars.
Thank you so much for that awesome feedback! You have been a faithful supporter and subscriber for a while now and I’m glad I could transmit my passion to you!
ONR is a good lube for your clay.....fantastic videos Pan...
Thanks I appreciate it!
ONR has polymers which not everyone wants left on the surface when they clay.

@@PanTheOrganizer so far you helped me choose a good tire cleaner to help prepare the surface for diy prep and paint. I have learnt to wash top to bottom in the cooler times of the day. I have learnt that foaming rinsing then foaming reduces the amount of time in contact wash. White paint is easy to keep clean. Soon I will do a touch up on paint on rough spots, clean full body clay bar on a cool day then do a polish and boom. Nice paint. I would like to request an addition to the videos you have in line. Best budget polishers and compounds for beginners. Thanks Mr. Pan.

Hi Pan, may I first compliment you on a very informative video on the distinction between Towel, Glove and Putty, You have just maade up my mind to which one I will purchase, because I have a tendency of dropping things, so its the glove mit for me. Big thanks from over the pond.
Thanks for the feedback. And by the way, I just released a new video showing the evolution in clay here: ruclips.net/video/GK21rRPh1jw/видео.htmlsi=hCxosXked4jpB7d1
Great video. I really wanted to know more about the clay glove. This video answered my questions. Merci !
Thanks Pedro! You always learn something new when watching Paaaaaaaan TheOrganizer! :)
I use both the mitt and the bar, as pan stated the bar can get into those tight areas well. I use the mitt for the vast surface areas since obviously the mitt covers more surface area quickly. The bar is just for more tight and precise areas.
Thanks for sharing Christopher!
Hey Pan! I have a video suggestion for you. I like you live in a harsh winter location, I'd love to see a video of how to clean a really hard winter dirty car for those whom don't have access to a heated garage without access to free flowing warm water. The entire process from removing the built up snow and ice in the wheel wells, caked on salt all that horrible fun stuff. I was also wondering if when it gets to that point can I use products such as Mastersons waterless wash and shine or ONR and power clean? I've been thinking about purchasing the Ammo NYC cleaning kit any thoughts? I saw a chemical guys video where he used eco smart on a really salt black car minus the close up... I know there's a lot in this comment but I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Thanks for covering all these in detail. it was a big help, as I was curious to learn more about the towels and mits.
I have the Mothers Speed clay claybar 2.0 as well.. Easy to clean if it falls...
I switched to the Nanoskin Auto Scrub on my Porter Cable about five years ago and never looked back. I use the 4 inch one.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Pan. Watching your videos is like going to a college class. Appreciate your experience and expertise. 👍
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I have watched them all and started detailing my own cars with your advice. I really appreciate people like you. I have one question, how many pads do you typically use when cutting/polishing a car? Do you clean them along the way or just swap them out? Thanks again for everything!!
Thanks Kenneth! For a car, I typically use 4 to 5 pads for the compound, and 4 to 5 pads for the polish. I clean them often with a pad cleaning tool.
Most important is to properly clean your pads after each job is done. I have a tutorial on that here: ruclips.net/video/IGDfRjcPaX4/видео.html
There is also clay block, nice video Pan, keep it up !
Thanks Simon!
Great video Pan! Thanks. Thanks for giving products for the uk! 🇬🇧 can’t wait to start
Thanks for the positive feedback Matt! What's your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer my pleasure. I think the comparison of items such as clay bars, mitts and towels. Also the correct way to do things. I would like a concise episode which covers all the processes, like a bullet point check list from dirty car to washing to chemical treatment to clay bar to compound to wax etc. At each stage listing the products in order of price or best to worst. It’s a lot of work but what a definitive list it would be!!
Thanks again for what you do 🇬🇧
Very informative, thank you, as I’m looking to get a clay towel. Question: I have a 14 GT500, White with black stripes. The stripes are the issue! Ford has a protected right to these type of stripes ( in other words, they are only available from the dealer ). Well these thing can get marred very easily and even thou I haven’t used anything on them, I tried the Meguiars spray sealant, and they went cloudy! I’m guessing claying them would be out of the question to get a deep clean. Do you have any suggestions? I had to use FW1 on them to restore the gloss and lose the cloudiness on the Meguiars product. I, like you am in Canada, and 1 upper hood stripe is $274 dealer cost! So you can see why I’m nervous about them 😳
.
In my opinion if you have a GT500 why would you be worried about washing it yourself ?
@@jeepkid8068 Believe it or not, some people, love to detail their own cars.....its almost like therapy :-)
Very interesting video, I’ve just chosen a Chemical Guys clay mitt, I used traditional clay bar, then moved on to clay block, now I decided to try the mitt, it’s reassuring to know that they are as effective as the clay bar, thank you Pan!!.
My pleasure!
Thanks Pan! I've learned alot from watching your videos 😊
Thanks I appreciate it! How did you discover my channel Phil?
Hello Pan,I used a clay bar on my car,but when I visited Halfords UK,I saw a clay towel from the G3 product range,I will use that next time its better than using the bar.
Great video full of useful information! I like traditional clay when time isn’t of the essence. If I need to clay quick I use my clay mitt. I use a ton of lube and I tell my viewers the same thing to not skimp in this area. The $3 worth of lube I use every time is worth it vs causes imperfections I would have to remove later. I need to try one of those clay towels.
One question: When I use my clay mitt I notice the little diamonds from the mitt on the paint at the ends of my back and forth motion if that makes sense. Is this normal or have you had this problem? My clay mitt is the fine mitt from Griot’s Garage.
Thanks Brian!! Any clay media can likely marr the finish a bit, but I have not experienced that with my clay towels or mitts. If you do get some light marring, a quick polish usually takes care of that.
Pan TheOrganizer Polishing always takes care of it I was just wondering if you had seen that. Thanks

Ultra soft clay bar for maintenance.
Clay mitt and towel for polishing.
Period.
Thanks for watching!
after contact wash and rinse refoam the car and use a clay towel seems to be the most efficient way to decon the paint imo. does a dedicated clay lubricant work, yes but as long as you're using a quality lubricious soap theres no need to spend extra $ on clay lube just make sure you don't use a ceramic or wax based lube ...also don't clay every car you clean unless it's required. only clay unwaxed and neglected paint. if the paint isn't rough to the touch after a wash n rinse don't use it. be safe and make sure to clay on a cool surface out of the sun. happy detailing everyone
Thank you again Pan, great video.
Thanks Kevin!
I use a clay towel for ease of use. I can rinse it out and as you say they last for so long and I don’t have to worry about dropping it on the floor.

I use a towel everyday at work (nissan dealer) the only time I use a bar is there is rail dust or something stuck on there that the towel wont get off. Its very rare if I have to use a bar. As far as lube goes I use soapy water even know it breaks the clay down faster. Also never ever get body solvent on the clay it will deslove it (found out the hard way lol)
Thanks for the video.. If you use a synthetic lubricant like the Chemical Guys clay luber do you need to use another product to wash the lubricant off the car?
No, just rinse.
