I have often wondered how much the color of paint may affect longevity of a wax or sealant as a dark color such as black would get hotter than a white or silver.
Hey Pan The average guy would never be able to afford/spend the time to come up with the best product to get the best results.You really do offer a great service to us enthusiasts.You do it well,as well,so thank you.
Thanks for that Peter! I appreciate it. I really like sharing my knowledge and experience with my viewers and hopefully save you guys money by helping to make good purchase decisions. So it's nice to see my efforts don't go unnoticed. Have a great night!
I regularly use Glossome Wax for my customers vehicles and I must say I love it. Application was easy, paint feels very smooth and durability for me here in western Canada is 8-12 months.
Another great video. 845 has been at the top of the list for a very long time. I polished a set of wheels some years back, then coated with 845. Saw the customer about a year later and he said they still looked like the day I polished them.
Awesome video as always, Pan! I’ve been using 845 for years in paste form. Aside from gloss, I also like the hydroponic properties it has. For the value, it’s one of the best tools in my detailing toolbox. I also used their marine wax on my boat, it last all season.
@@PanTheOrganizer hey Pan, been looking for ages, what is the best option for simple UV protection on headlights and plastic trim? Lights are in pretty good condition, so I don't want restoration, or products that require sanding for adhesion, I basically want to keep them in good condition
An excellent analysis! You have gone right to the point on these products: we have gloss, we have hydrophobics, and we have longevity. Which of these is important to you and does the value fit your use. It makes it easier to select the product that meets your or your customers' needs. And the insight you provide is key so that we know what to expect during the application. I have used most of these and I think you nailed it. Currently, I use the Ultralock+, the Turtle Wax Graphene Max, and the Souveran - all with excellent results :)
Pan, I’m really glad you made this video. I’m hoping that you do a similar video for paste waxes. I’m from the Powerlock, Collinite 845 camp years ago and then switched to Carpro CQUK ceramic. As an enthusiast, I missed the involvement with waxes and sealants and plan to go back this spring once the coating wears down.
Had the dealer applied ceramic coating on my new truck. I installed the Turtle Wax Max on the wife's new car and I am very happy with the Turtle wax. Slicker and better water repelancy. I was surprised at the added slickness when I used the Turtle Wax Flex after washing s few times on both the truck and car. Flex Wax added much better hydrophobic and added gloss + slickness.
Great video Pan and loved the intro 😂. I used Glossome wax and topped it with Phoenix Titan spray on my PPF on the front of my vehicle. I didn’t want to ceramic coat my PPF because of the self healing properties. It did great for about 6 to 8 weeks and I loved the water behavior. It was more sheeting than beading
Thanks Pan as always a great video full of information which was fantastic mate. I have used the 3 Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro range, starting with the 1 and done polish then the Too The Max Graphene and then finally topped off with the Graphene Flex wax. I live on the Central Coast NSW Australia and since doing the full decontamination, polish, and coating 8 months ago I have found the performance and overall lasting protection fantastic. As you said you do get what you pay for, and the effort you put in makes a big difference. I do add a topper of Flex Wax about every 3rd wash as it's ease of use is brilliant. Ty mate for the excellent information and I hope 2023 will be a great year for you and all of the subscribers. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
I apply Collinite 845 to my 31ft RV. It's a brutal job covering that much area, takes me 2-3 days. I do it once a year, and use toppers after washes to help extend it. The Collinite provides unbelievable protection. Have tried many products, but Collinite gives me the longest durability and will bead/sheet water off the RV the longest.
Hey Pan, I’m currently testing Glossome by Phoenix EOD on my Black 2010 Mustang GT front fender. I applied it September 14, 2022, so it’s at 3 1/2 months. Glossome has seen weekly washes, with 2 of those being high Alkaline strip car soaps. It is definitely still there beading and sheeting water depending of course upon the spray nozzle setting. Will continue to test. Thanks so much for a great comparison video, hope this helps and I really appreciate all you do. 🙏🏻
Saw the thumbnail and clicked this right away. Love seeing these products still around. I personally use Jescar Ultra Lock because it's so freaking easy to remove.
Agree with ease of use. When I started driving in the early 70s, Turtle was king because of its ease of use. However, if you wanted your car to look SPECIAL, Blue Coral was the product to use. You could spot a Blue Coral detailed car two blocks away.
The problem with Blue Coral was DIFFICULT AND I MEAN DIFFICUKT application and removal. It was a killer. If the Karate Kid was forced to use Blue Coral, he would have told Mr. Miyagi to shove it.
Thanks pan. Love your videos. So educational. Wonderful using the new ultra lock (2 coats) and the follow with Collinite 845-- old school from your video years ago with Matt moreman from obsessed garage. Back then you and Matt loved the combination for the older Powerlock followed by Collinite 845. Thanks for all you do
Thank you for the reviews! Another great sealant product brand I have tried and it's also used as a AIO is Lithium Seal and Squeal sealant and polish! Other car detailers on RUclips have combined three brands which are Jescar Power Lock Plus, Collinite Wax (sprayed on instead of manually applying it), and topped with P&S Beadmaker.
Ray, Jescar and Colinite are my base. I like BeadMaker for the “Friday Night Shiniest Car On The Street Look”. However, I had streaking issues with BeadMaker on top of Jescar/Colinite and had to use a VERY LIGHT SPRAY when applying. What techniques do you use?
@@JustProAutoDetailingInc Hello! Yes, I do have the same problem as yours about streaking! I am doing the same thing as spraying lightly. I’m planning to experiment using Xtreme Solutions “Topper” or “Polyseal” on my next wash and see if the effects will be the same. Try it also if you have them both!
I'm old school and have been using 845 for years IMO gives the best overall performance when you put, gloss, sickness, longevity, ease of use and price. It might not be the best at any of those but it's the most balanced. Also I like to put my bottle in a bucket of warm water, put a spray top on the bottle and use it as a spray wax.
I’m a novice in this space and detail shops by me charge about $2500 (SUV) for ceramic coating. Their fine-print states “this does not include the polishing process.” So after watching your channel, and learning how important the prep stage is - there’s just no way I can justify the cost at a detail shop. Your channel is truly “for the people” and I love it
@@PanTheOrganizer just wanted to add - fast forward 3 months, and I actually went to a detail shop. They included the polish at the price mentioned above. Now I’m coated with gtechniq and EVO. 🔥
Pan, first of all, what a company you are for my nightshifts, thank you! Blessings man for a happy new year! On the subject my take is Collinite, after a full decontamination, and a somewhat corrected surface (i am using AIO), with a mix of rinseless and normal washes and also topped with beadmaker(glossy combination to the max) i get about 5-6 months. Athens, Greece, mild winters, sunny and hot for 2-3 months, humidity over 50% all the timeand in the winter many times over 70%, no garage, often precipitation comes loaded with sahara dust from north africa.
@@PanTheOrganizer 5-6 months, 1 wash per month approx, the car is a sitting duck in an open parking. Maybe dream maker for drying aid assists also with durability? I usually refresh on oct and April.
Forrest from South Carolina. I run SC Polishing LLC and I have been using the og power lock plus for years! Had been my go to sealant. I use it all the time after my level 1 semi truck paint correction packages. I apply it with an old school 10 inch WEN wax buffer and wipe off by hand. I get about 3-6 months of durability. Can’t wait to try the new SI02 infused ultra
Cool video Pan and all of these products are great to use. I’m trying to configure products for six months durability and it is not as easy as it should be. I like the glossome wax personally for ease of application with a polisherand durability. Then again can coat is better and costs about the same. My favorite paste waxes are Gyeon Q2 to be used as a topper over ceramic and for car shows Meguiars M16 is better than people think but the prep work is similar to prepping for a ceramic coating. Thank you for another video and you are definitely on the way to one million viewers!
Awesome video Pan! I like ethos pro ceramic wax. It looks great, the water behavior is good and it feels great. It fills well, which I like with the paint and clear getting thinner these days. I get 6 months out of it
Hey Pan, I don't have experience with any of those, but I do with Blackfire Paint Sealant. It usually lasts 5-6 months in Florida with the car being garaged. It is very slick and easy to apply with no strong smells. One of the cons is the gloss doesn't seem to last as long. From my experience, the glossy look starts to fade after a month or two. But the protection is still there with water beading and sheeting. I bought CarPro's HydrO2 Lite to try out as a top layer the next time I wash the car. However I do want to try something different, either another sealant or step up to a coating like CarPro or Gyeon.
Hey Pan. Weather here in Newfoundland can change on the hour. I have become a Jescar Ultra Lock fan. Easy to apply, great endurance and awesome gloss. Hasn’t failed me yet. Great video. Till the next one.
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan. I usually apply it 2x a year. In the spring, when I do full decontamination wash and in the fall before the snow starts to fall. So typically,, 4-6 months. And I use Bead Maker as my topper. Although, I can’t wait to try that Dream Maker/Bead Maker combo. Thanks for asking. I hope some of your subs get some benefit from my experience. Till the next one.
Agree 100% with Jescar. I used other products such as Turtle Wax’s Hybrid Ceramic/Graphene; it’s a GREAT product, but I won’t switch from Jescar/Colinite. The reason I won’t switch was Obsessed Garage purring like a kitty cat describing how smooth Jescar is. The first time I used Jescar, I needed up purring, too! Hooked ever since.
Hi Pan. Wax is definitely not dead. I'm a huge fan of liquid and paste waxes. I like the Pinnacle paste wax, so I'll definitely try the liquid if you recommend it. I tried the Max Wax, and just didn't like the added effort. I like the Buttery Wax, and it smells good, which is always a plus. And I tried the 845 after one of your videos, and really enjoyed it. Here in Ohio, US, nothing lasts long in winter because of the amount of salt. But they're all fine for the other three seasons.
Excellent video Pan! I'll say a pretty good Karate Kid impression as well. I don't use a lot of wax but the turtlewax graphene paste wax is my favorite but that's a whole other form. I like optimum car wax as well, but I definitely need to try some of these!
@@PanTheOrganizer About 3 and bit months in Sydney, Australia with real world driving (but garaged kept). Waxes degrade much quicker down here due to the heat and UV rays.
I live a couple miles from the Collinite factory. Have been using the insulator wax for at least 40 years. It's great! I've often thought of going there and asking if they would let me do a video tour of the factory. It could be a really cool video but it's hard to tell if they would allow it. Doesn't hurt to ask.
Hi mate, I'm a big fan of the 915 Marque D'elegance wax and have always had superb results with it but never used the 845. Would the 845 work as a top up for the 915 or best to just stick with 1 or the other?
Pan, I first prepare my car the way you always state in your videos and then applied the Turtle Wax Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax as the base layer and use their Pro Ceramic and Graphene Flex Wax as a topper. For my girl friend's car I used the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 as the base layer and the Turtle Wax Ice Seal n Shine as a topper. I will evaluate the long term results after the Michigan winter.
Thank you Pan for doing this video, i chose chemical guys butter wet wax to try on my Focus when the weather gets better, i hope it helps give alittle protection to my paint since i don't have the equipment to paint correct.😐
Pan, Very informative review. I live in KS where we get any where from -10 to 100+ temps plus snow and salt. I'm sticking with Brian's combo from Apex Detailing. I apply Xtreme Solutions LVR 403 or 404. Follow up with Xtreme Solutions Poly-Seal. I get one plus year of tight beading. For good measure, I finish with Xtreme Solutions LVR 357 for extra gloss. I can extend that with a spray of Turtle Wax Seal and Shine after 6 months or so which gets me almost 2 full years between applications. Happy with them and will stick with what works for my two Audis and two Vettes. Get lots of compliments from people and do well at car shows with this combination. Keep these informative videos coming my friend.
Great video, and thanks for all the great content in 2022. Don’t think you mentioned if the polishes are plastic friendly - apologies if I missed it. I don’t mean applying direct to plastic, but accidentally coming into contact with plastic. I used to use AutoGlym Super Resin polish which was a nightmare to remove from smooth or textured plastic.
With any wax or sealant, it's always best to avoid touching the plastics. If you get some accidentally, no worries, just wipe immediately, or use a bit of APC and wipe. Or tape the plastic trim to be 100% safe. But to my knowledge, none of these should leave white residue on plastics except for the Jescar and Wolfgang potentially.
Salut Pan! Ça ne fait qu’un mois mais les vidéos en français nous manque🥲 j’imagine que c’est beaucoup de travail mais tellement plus simple pour comprendre chaque détail😇 on espère te voir à Tours les 11/12 mars 2023!😜
Haha my gf heard me laughing in the living room said what's up? I said it's Pan getting silly in his videos. 😄 as always appreciate the info on these products pan.👍🇨🇦
Hey Pan, I recently started watching your videos, thank you for all the knowledge man. Was thinking on doing auto detail on the side of my 9-5. When you do a detail for a customer and they want a wax, would you tend to do a spray or specify traditional, by hand or machine which would take a lot longer..any way you can do a video on different wax applications for ex - quick wax Vs a specialized or more focused wax or when you go to a job and you say your going to do a wax and the customer asks or specifies what type of wax application they would want. Do you already have a price point or just depends on the job?
Happy New Year Pan! Excellent vid seemingly aimed at the weekend warrior/driveway detailer. Although familiar [doing my own research] with all of the products reviewed here, I've only used the TW MAX. I live in south central Maine U.S. and do not garage my Tornado (flat) Red GTI, which is the vehicle that I have primarily used the MAX WAX. I have used it on several clients' cars who garage their vehicles, which has tended to give the wax some longevity. That being said, for my GTI, my priorities are appearance. Durability is important, yes, but I obsess over it enough that it's not my top concern. What I really like about the MAX along with gloss and shine is the jetting effect on the red paint. It definitely gives it a deeper tone - possibly due to the Carnuba content(?) Imho it's gr8 stuff. The extra step with the damp cloth (for me) is minor. I use that technique with all of their higher end products - Seal&Shine and Ceramics included. It just works... Imho topping the MAX with FLEX occasionally is a terrific combo. Keep up your good work - shine on you crazy diamond!
Thanks Audie! And thanks for sharing your personal experience. How many months of durability do you get from Max Wax? I typically see 4 to 5 months in my conditions. But yeah the gloss and slickness are awesome on it!
@Pan The Organizer hi Pan, honestly, I can't really say about the MAX durability. Although it seems solid, my OCD won't let me wait that long...lol. Usually, within 4-5 weeks, I've topped it with FLEX spray. And then, sometime after that, I've coated it with the Ceramic Graphene Paste. THAT👈🏼 combo the last 2 seasons has been bulletproof. Punch up my channel, I made a short show-off vid! Thx Pan, I always appreciate your mojo.

Hi I have simoniz glass coat and it is recommended by them to continually wax/seal the paint. What would be a good choice please to go over a glass coat?
Great Video Pan and very informative! Question- Would it be ok to first apply the new Jescar Ultra Lock + and then follow with Collinite 845. I remember you and Matt M. liked this combo with the previous version of Jesco power lock and then followed by Collinite 845.
@@PanTheOrganizer On the phone Friday singing your praises to Christian at Adams Polishes about the great results I got on my Silverado with Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating. My 2014 looks like a mirror going down the road. Keep up the great advice!
@@PanTheOrganizer i primarily used meguiars gold class for years, but the in the last 2 years i’ve had an awakening to auto detailing and i’m on the search for a favorite, i really liked the turtle wax ceramic hybrid paste, and currently waiting for good weather to do a full wash, decon, and polish for my new can of fusso. and i bought the fusso thanks to your video on it, thanks for all your hard work and sharing your passion!
What I use is Chemical Guys Jetseal and Butterwet wax combo. After a week of daily driver after the maintenance wash I’ll add P&S Beadmaker and add it as a drying aid every maintenance wash. My car is garage kept and I’ve notice it last a year. (In Houston, Texas)
I use CG jetseal on my hellcat. Last time I had to apply was July 2019 (last step of a 50 hr paint correction i did). It is garage kept and I live in the desert of WA state, but the car is my daily driver and sits in the parking lot at work all day. The windshield still rolls water off without need of wipers. It doesn't bead as tight in the paint as it did the first year or two, but I am amazed at how well it is still doing. Been fighting back issues, but plan to do a touch up correction and go to adams advanced graphene on it if I can get things squared away with redoing nerve ablations for my low back before spring.
Pan, thanks so much!! Appreciate how generous you are of your time and advice. For those who like to “pamper “ you car- even if it’s a daily driver- is there an in between compromise? Meaning ceramic coat your car and. Then apply a topper - weekly /monthly like a wax/ or an SiO2 infused wax - to maintain the luster - and allow me to enjoy the process ? Many many thanks. I’m a doctor by day and a newly obsessed DIYer !
Hey pan. Love the videos! I saw you use Adams buttery wax. I see that Adams has a graphene liquid wax. I didn't know if you ever tested that out or not. If not, could you?
Hi Pan, thanks again for an entertaining and informative vid. I have shied away from ceramic products because of what I read about the difficulty in removing. Currently I am using Klasse All-In-One topped with Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax. I love the ease of application, but wonder if there is a better choice for durability. I wax every 4 mths.
I'm very pleased with Turtle Wax Hybrid solutions. I last detailed my cars in September and my daily driver is still beading strongly after a blizzard and an ice storm, and multiple "No-touch" car washes. Thank you for this presentation.
Loving the content Pan. I’m from Australia and i’ve been pleasantly surprised with Bowden’s carnauba wax in terms of user experience. I’m a “weekend warrior”, so take my opinion with a pinch of salt haha.

Hello Paaaaann San !!! L'homme ceinture noire en detailing ! En produit similaire, je peux dire que le soft 99 F7 est facile à appliquer, sans comparaison avec la forme en pâte... Et la durabilité est donnée pour 7 mois, mais 6 mois en Lorraine semble plus réaliste. Basée sur la même technologie que la fusso coat. Merci pour ton intro karaté kid. La référence est parfaite 😎
Nice vid. I have been using Wolfgang for years and I have never been disappointed. The new formula is good but hands down for the old one. I always work in direct sunlight the that product has been had a reaction. Wolfgang is extremely good that sometimes I get surprised when I see the car rolling down the street 😄. I’ll look into Glossome from Phoenix. You got me thinking 🤔 and I want to support small companies. Great work Pan!! By the way, Jescar has a terrible chemical smell that I can’t stand the pad inside my detail van. I either need to put it inside a bag or throw it away 😢
I just think that common waxes are a thing of the past. Granted, some of them have their place, but items like Buttery Wax do give gloss, but offer little protection and do not last that long. I've used the Turtle Wax Graphene Wax and have had great results with it. And with durability- it's not only the washes that break down the wax, it's all of the other factors that are out of our control- one of them being weather.
Pan talk about spit shining. Spraying with a spray wax sparingly then rub a carnauba wax over the liquid wax. This is used in the military which works.
Chicago, Illinois, USA (My first comment may have been lost in the internet, so I’m reposting). If you remember, you and Obsessed dialed me onto the Jescar Power Lock /Colinite 845 combo. It was a great help building my business. In October, 2022, I used Jescar ULTRA Lock for the first time. Two coats of Jescar Ultra with one coat Colinite 845. I’m glad you posted this video as it confirmed my observations-Jescar ULTRA doesn’t have the best shine (it’s still GREAT) or bead water as well as other products. However, protection is where Jescar stands out. Just before Christmas, Chicago had about two inches of snow. It’s an election year in 2023, so the city put tons of salt and sodium chloride on the roads. My car ended up coated with along with road grime. : I snow foamed my car and let it sit for two minutes, then rinsed. I couldn’t believe what I saw: all the salt and road grime slid off my car without using my wash mitt. I never saw anything like this before. I’m looking forward to Chicago’s next snow and seeing the Jescar results Thanks again for the video!
@@PanTheOrganizer here’s an update on the UltraLock. The second wash didn’t require any contact with my wash mitt, but the third wash did. That being said, The shine and hydrophobic remain excellent after three months. The sequence of application was two coats UltraLock with Colinite 845 as a topper. One week later Jescar Ceramic spray wax was applied. Nothing has been used to maintain the application. Once again, Jescar hit another home run. However, this spring, I want to return to carnival paste wax for the deepest possible shine. Which carnival paste wax would you recommend. If you remember, I used Blue Coral back in the 1970s and was blown away by the results. I can’t find Blue Coral anymore. What wax (no matter if it is as soggily to apply as Blue Coral) would you recommend for the ULTIMATE glossy shine?
Don’t really use carnuba waxes much. I do like the Meguiers gold class paste wax tho. But for time & ease I stick with TW seal & shine & Griots ceramic spray version. Both last an easy 9 months in the tough Chicago conditions. Side note, the TW is so slick that snow will just slide off i huge chunks when clearing it off.
I avoid using anything ceramic. It's too unforgiving. Collinite is the most economical and shines and protects as well as any. Probably wouldn't make it through a Chicago winter though.
Hope you can do a video of the CAR GUYS Liquid Wax in the future, I’ve have read some positive reviews about them. But I prefer to hear from you if that wax is really that good. Great videos Btw!

I havnet used wax in a very long time. I still have my Zymol Glasur, Carbon, Dodojuice orange crush, Victoria mayham and my bottle of Optimum spray wax. I think I used the optimum maybe about a year ago. the others I havnt used in years. Sometimes I think about using my Zymol Glasur just for some meditation purpose but I never do
I'm in SE Florida, TW to the Max gives me high spots and I hate the two towel for leveling/removing. I love the Jescar easy on, easy off, even by hand, but be careful, it will stain trim and it's a pain to get out of my finishing pad. I'm a mobile detailer. If it's ,68 degrees here, it's winter, 😂
Great job Pan! I have used the Turtle Wax Graphene Infused Flex Wax and love it, but I would really like to try the Collinite. Do you apply that with a polisher or by hand?
I use the TW to the max on my F150 silver metallic last April I did just a light polish with TW 1 & done. Compound then applied the wax as per instructions by hand Then 24 hr later I applied TW flex wax I always wash with P&S pearl shampoo then I used TW 3in1 detailer weekly and add the flex wax once a month I stop washing end of November cause I don’t have access to a heated garage I’m very satisfied with the hydrophobic and gloss it is my daily driver and outdoor kept I live south shore of Montreal
Great video as always. I contacted turtle wax and they suggested that the Max wax should be applied first and top it with the flex wax to have the best results. What do you think ? I used the flex wax and love it.
I haven't tested that combo, but I did try the other combo Turtle Wax recommends, which is a base coat of the graphene + ceramic paste wax, topped with Flex Wax, and that works great, because you can use Flex Wax afterwards as a spray on rinse off method. It goes contrary to the usual standard of applying the most durable product first, and the wax on top. But it works in this case hehe.
I was not expecting that opening. Thanks for the laugh Pan. I was wondering if you would ever do another durable test with ceramic coatings, sealants, sio2 sprays etc. I know it came be quite cumbersome to apply all types of products. I would also like to see window coatings as well!
Glad to hear that, thanks! I learned new editing techniques for that, and I think the result came out pretty cool with the retro/vintage feel. :) That real world testing was a nightmare to produce, as the organization needed is complicated, as I have to get that customer to bring their car back every month, people have busy lives, etc, and it also means I don't want them to wash their car, as I have to control those variables. Perhaps one day I'll do another one, as it was quite a popular series on my channel.
Really great video Pan! I love the different waxes but i've been leaning towards the spray waxes here lately. Ive been using the Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax ontop of the Seal N Shine and its been one of my favorite go to's. Would be cool if you could compare some spray waxes compared to the traditional waxes. Keep up the great work. P.S. Week 6 in a row of trying to do a video collab w/ you :D
Thanks Warren. One thing though. I notice you always type that comment at the end about a collab... Do you have a RUclips channel? As the collabs I do are to help other small channels to grow, but you need to have an operational channel with at least 10K subscribers or more, as it wouldn't be of any help if your audience is too small to begin with... Doing collabs has a bigger impact if the channel has 20K subs or more.
In theory, nothing prevents you from applying a regular wax or sealant on top of a coating. But in practice, we never recommend this as you would be masking the coating's superior properties. Also, the coating would end up rejecting the topper anyways, as it's not meant to be super compatible, so durability of that wax or sealant would not be very long. For coatings, stick to ceramic or graphene maintenance sprays.
What brand of waxes would you recommend that contain si02 and can be applied over a ceramic coating? (I’m more of a old soul, I like to go out and apply wax by hand frequently)
Hi Pan, thank you for the great content. Could you use the turtle flex spray as a topper over the liquid max wax to achieve the 9 to 12 month durability?
Hey pan I lov all ur videos. Just getting started in detailing just for side jobs right now. Quick question why doesn't any one use air comprssors to dry cars? In stead they get an additional item to dry
I always use a car dryer to dry cars, as they're quicker and more efficient. I even made a video comparing my three blowers here: ruclips.net/video/4up2Atg4ks0/видео.html But not everyone has the budget for a blower. And blowers are only good if the vehicle has protection on the paint (wax, sealant or coating) as the hydrophobic properties help the air move the water off the paint. On vehicle that have zero protection, hand drying with a microfiber towel is actually quicker.
Love your content. I’m an older guy and just decided to transition into professional detailing. I’m curious what your take is on interior ceramic protection?
Thanks Michael! How did you discover my channel by the way? Welcome to my channel.

I have been detailing for 25 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. What do you mean by interior ceramic protection? For leather seats, a leather coating? I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/CuN77nz8Ex8/видео.html
Lots of great info here. 845 would be the top pick for me. I'd like to try that Pinnacle at some point. My go to for years now has been Ultima Paint Guard Plus sealant. I get an easy 6-7 months before I strip it and reapply. It was still protecting nicely at that point.
Hi Pan, Chemical guys butter wet wax just says long lasting on the bottle, i'm not sure how long it will last on my car, as i haven't applied it yet, i live in N.H. U.S.A and our weather is alot like yours snow, sleet, rain and salty roads, my poor car is out in the elements all year long,as i have no garage, i'll have to get back to you on it's performance when i apply it and try it.
Hi pan. Big joe here again. I do remember asking you previously if you have heard of a product called auto smart Finnish. You said you hadn't heard of it. Well that's fair enough. I do watch your friend the forensic detailing channel and he does use it. Please check it out. Thanks again pan.

I have often wondered how much the color of paint may affect longevity of a wax or sealant as a dark color such as black would get hotter than a white or silver.
Jescar Ultra Lock and Wolfgang SiO2 Sealant were my favorites that I tested. Very slick and crazy durable.
Hey Pan
The average guy would never be able to afford/spend the time to come up with the best product to get the best results.You really do offer a great service to us enthusiasts.You do it well,as well,so thank you.
Thanks for that Peter! I appreciate it. I really like sharing my knowledge and experience with my viewers and hopefully save you guys money by helping to make good purchase decisions. So it's nice to see my efforts don't go unnoticed.
Have a great night!
I regularly use Glossome Wax for my customers vehicles and I must say I love it. Application was easy, paint feels very smooth and durability for me here in western Canada is 8-12 months.
Another great video. 845 has been at the top of the list for a very long time. I polished a set of wheels some years back, then coated with 845. Saw the customer about a year later and he said they still looked like the day I polished them.
Thanks for sharing! Happy new year by the way!
@@PanTheOrganizer Happy New Year to you all as well.
@@PanTheOrganizer Did you send a comment about a gift??
I did the turtle wax. I’m in Sacramento. Been about a month and a half and still smooth and high gloss. Does a great job repelling water
Awesome video as always, Pan! I’ve been using 845 for years in paste form. Aside from gloss, I also like the hydroponic properties it has. For the value, it’s one of the best tools in my detailing toolbox. I also used their marine wax on my boat, it last all season.
Thanks Chuck!
@@PanTheOrganizer hey Pan, been looking for ages, what is the best option for simple UV protection on headlights and plastic trim? Lights are in pretty good condition, so I don't want restoration, or products that require sanding for adhesion, I basically want to keep them in good condition
An excellent analysis! You have gone right to the point on these products: we have gloss, we have hydrophobics, and we have longevity. Which of these is important to you and does the value fit your use. It makes it easier to select the product that meets your or your customers' needs. And the insight you provide is key so that we know what to expect during the application. I have used most of these and I think you nailed it. Currently, I use the Ultralock+, the Turtle Wax Graphene Max, and the Souveran - all with excellent results :)
Thanks for sharing Brian!
Pan, I’m really glad you made this video. I’m hoping that you do a similar video for paste waxes. I’m from the Powerlock, Collinite 845 camp years ago and then switched to Carpro CQUK ceramic. As an enthusiast, I missed the involvement with waxes and sealants and plan to go back this spring once the coating wears down.
What's your favourite paste wax of all time Ramon?
Great video! I appreciate your genuine opinion on each product. Your channel is my favorite detailing channel. Keep up the great content. Big fan.
Thanks for the positive feedback Jason! I appreciate the kind words. Keeps me motivated to continue producing these videos for y'all!
Had the dealer applied ceramic coating on my new truck. I installed the Turtle Wax Max on the wife's new car and I am very happy with the Turtle wax. Slicker and better water repelancy. I was surprised at the added slickness when I used the Turtle Wax Flex after washing s few times on both the truck and car. Flex Wax added much better hydrophobic and added gloss + slickness.
Which coating
Great video Pan and loved the intro 😂. I used Glossome wax and topped it with Phoenix Titan spray on my PPF on the front of my vehicle. I didn’t want to ceramic coat my PPF because of the self healing properties. It did great for about 6 to 8 weeks and I loved the water behavior. It was more sheeting than beading
Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the intro!
Thanks Pan as always a great video full of information which was fantastic mate. I have used the 3 Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro range, starting with the 1 and done polish then the Too The Max Graphene and then finally topped off with the Graphene Flex wax. I live on the Central Coast NSW Australia and since doing the full decontamination, polish, and coating 8 months ago I have found the performance and overall lasting protection fantastic. As you said you do get what you pay for, and the effort you put in makes a big difference. I do add a topper of Flex Wax about every 3rd wash as it's ease of use is brilliant. Ty mate for the excellent information and I hope 2023 will be a great year for you and all of the subscribers.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
I apply Collinite 845 to my 31ft RV. It's a brutal job covering that much area, takes me 2-3 days. I do it once a year, and use toppers after washes to help extend it. The Collinite provides unbelievable protection. Have tried many products, but Collinite gives me the longest durability and will bead/sheet water off the RV the longest.
Hey Pan, I’m currently testing Glossome by Phoenix EOD on my Black 2010 Mustang GT front fender. I applied it September 14, 2022, so it’s at 3 1/2 months. Glossome has seen weekly washes, with 2 of those being high Alkaline strip car soaps.
It is definitely still there beading and sheeting water depending of course upon the spray nozzle setting. Will continue to test. Thanks so much for a great comparison video, hope this helps and I really appreciate all you do. 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your real world experience with it!
Saw the thumbnail and clicked this right away. Love seeing these products still around. I personally use Jescar Ultra Lock because it's so freaking easy to remove.
I hope you enjoyed the legendary intro! :)
Agree with ease of use. When I started driving in the early 70s, Turtle was king because of its ease of use. However, if you wanted your car to look SPECIAL, Blue Coral was the product to use. You could spot a Blue Coral detailed car two blocks away.
The problem with Blue Coral was DIFFICULT AND I MEAN DIFFICUKT application and removal. It was a killer. If the Karate Kid was forced to use Blue Coral, he would have told Mr. Miyagi to shove it.
Thanks pan. Love your videos. So educational. Wonderful using the new ultra lock (2 coats) and the follow with Collinite 845-- old school from your video years ago with Matt moreman from obsessed garage. Back then you and Matt loved the combination for the older Powerlock followed by Collinite 845. Thanks for all you do
Thank you for the reviews! Another great sealant product brand I have tried and it's also used as a AIO is Lithium Seal and Squeal sealant and polish! Other car detailers on RUclips have combined three brands which are Jescar Power Lock Plus, Collinite Wax (sprayed on instead of manually applying it), and topped with P&S Beadmaker.
Thanks Ray!
Ray, Jescar and Colinite are my base. I like BeadMaker for the “Friday Night Shiniest Car On The Street Look”. However, I had streaking issues with BeadMaker on top of Jescar/Colinite and had to use a VERY LIGHT SPRAY when applying. What techniques do you use?
@@JustProAutoDetailingInc Hello! Yes, I do have the same problem as yours about streaking! I am doing the same thing as spraying lightly. I’m planning to experiment using Xtreme Solutions “Topper” or “Polyseal” on my next wash and see if the effects will be the same. Try it also if you have them both!
Man I definitely needed that laugh to start my day. Have a great day Mr Pan! Along with a good weekend as well. & thank you for all your time 🙏
Glad you enjoyed the intro! I learned some specific editing skills to make it look retro/vintage! It turned out pretty cool! :)
Appreciate the comprehensive, honest reviews, as always!
Thanks Stan!
@text-878gift?
I'm old school and have been using 845 for years IMO gives the best overall performance when you put, gloss, sickness, longevity, ease of use and price. It might not be the best at any of those but it's the most balanced. Also I like to put my bottle in a bucket of warm water, put a spray top on the bottle and use it as a spray wax.
Collinite I stray away sometimes, but always come back. It just works and is easy to apply.
PAN MIYAGI!!! PAN THE ORGANIZER SAN!!! THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!!🤣🤣🤣
Hahah thanks!!
I’m a novice in this space and detail shops by me charge about $2500 (SUV) for ceramic coating. Their fine-print states “this does not include the polishing process.”
So after watching your channel, and learning how important the prep stage is - there’s just no way I can justify the cost at a detail shop.
Your channel is truly “for the people” and I love it
Thanks for the positive feedback! I like to share my knowledge and experience with my viewers.
That’s about the price I charge for an SUV but I have a 2 step polish included
@@PanTheOrganizer just wanted to add - fast forward 3 months, and I actually went to a detail shop. They included the polish at the price mentioned above. Now I’m coated with gtechniq and EVO. 🔥
Pan, first of all, what a company you are for my nightshifts, thank you! Blessings man for a happy new year!
On the subject my take is Collinite, after a full decontamination, and a somewhat corrected surface (i am using AIO), with a mix of rinseless and normal washes and also topped with beadmaker(glossy combination to the max) i get about 5-6 months. Athens, Greece, mild winters, sunny and hot for 2-3 months, humidity over 50% all the timeand in the winter many times over 70%, no garage, often precipitation comes loaded with sahara dust from north africa.
Glad you enjoyed it! How long does Collinite last in your conditions?
@@PanTheOrganizer 5-6 months, 1 wash per month approx, the car is a sitting duck in an open parking. Maybe dream maker for drying aid assists also with durability? I usually refresh on oct and April.
Thanks Pan! Great video as usual!
Thanks Kris!
Forrest from South Carolina. I run SC Polishing LLC and I have been using the og power lock plus for years! Had been my go to sealant. I use it all the time after my level 1 semi truck paint correction packages. I apply it with an old school 10 inch WEN wax buffer and wipe off by hand. I get about 3-6 months of durability. Can’t wait to try the new SI02 infused ultra
Thanks for sharing your real world use. And happy new year!
Best pan the organizer intro ever, and nobody is proving me wrong
Heheh thanks!!
Cool video Pan and all of these products are great to use. I’m trying to configure products for six months durability and it is not as easy as it should be. I like the glossome wax personally for ease of application with a polisherand durability. Then again can coat is better and costs about the same. My favorite paste waxes are Gyeon Q2 to be used as a topper over ceramic and for car shows Meguiars M16 is better than people think but the prep work is similar to prepping for a ceramic coating. Thank you for another video and you are definitely on the way to one million viewers!
Thanks Neil!
Awesome video Pan! I like ethos pro ceramic wax. It looks great, the water behavior is good and it feels great. It fills well, which I like with the paint and clear getting thinner these days. I get 6 months out of it
Thanks Jeff!
Hey Pan, I don't have experience with any of those, but I do with Blackfire Paint Sealant. It usually lasts 5-6 months in Florida with the car being garaged. It is very slick and easy to apply with no strong smells. One of the cons is the gloss doesn't seem to last as long. From my experience, the glossy look starts to fade after a month or two. But the protection is still there with water beading and sheeting. I bought CarPro's HydrO2 Lite to try out as a top layer the next time I wash the car. However I do want to try something different, either another sealant or step up to a coating like CarPro or Gyeon.
Yeah it's always fun to try something new!
Hey Pan. Weather here in Newfoundland can change on the hour. I have become a Jescar Ultra Lock fan. Easy to apply, great endurance and awesome gloss. Hasn’t failed me yet. Great video. Till the next one.
Nice to see another Newfoundlander here, I’m in St. John’s where are you?
Thanks Wayne! How long does it typically last for you?
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan. I usually apply it 2x a year. In the spring, when I do full decontamination wash and in the fall before the snow starts to fall. So typically,, 4-6 months. And I use Bead Maker as my topper. Although, I can’t wait to try that Dream Maker/Bead Maker combo. Thanks for asking. I hope some of your subs get some benefit from my experience. Till the next one.
@@58leebee In beautiful downtown Paradise. 😂😂😂 So almost a townie.
Agree 100% with Jescar. I used other products such as Turtle Wax’s Hybrid Ceramic/Graphene; it’s a GREAT product, but I won’t switch from Jescar/Colinite. The reason I won’t switch was Obsessed Garage purring like a kitty cat describing how smooth Jescar is. The first time I used Jescar, I needed up purring, too! Hooked ever since.
Hi Pan. Wax is definitely not dead. I'm a huge fan of liquid and paste waxes. I like the Pinnacle paste wax, so I'll definitely try the liquid if you recommend it. I tried the Max Wax, and just didn't like the added effort. I like the Buttery Wax, and it smells good, which is always a plus. And I tried the 845 after one of your videos, and really enjoyed it. Here in Ohio, US, nothing lasts long in winter because of the amount of salt. But they're all fine for the other three seasons.
Thanks for sharing! What's the longest lasting wax in your conditions?
@@PanTheOrganizer The Max Wax definitely lasted the longest. Of the other two, the 845 lasted longer than the Buttery Wax.
Excellent video Pan! I'll say a pretty good Karate Kid impression as well. I don't use a lot of wax but the turtlewax graphene paste wax is my favorite but that's a whole other form.
I like optimum car wax as well, but I definitely need to try some of these!
Thanks!
Gyeon Q2 Wax takes my pick for wax. Great gloss, slickness and hydrophobic properties. The smell is divine and overall a fantastic user experience.
Yes it's a great roll-on wax! How long does it last in your conditions?
I had applied it in this video: ruclips.net/video/dOv-k6vRZ8c/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer About 3 and bit months in Sydney, Australia with real world driving (but garaged kept). Waxes degrade much quicker down here due to the heat and UV rays.
Cheers Pan, happy new year, best of luck in 2023
Cheers Bernie! Happy new year!
I live a couple miles from the Collinite factory. Have been using the insulator wax for at least 40 years. It's great! I've often thought of going there and asking if they would let me do a video tour of the factory. It could be a really cool video but it's hard to tell if they would allow it. Doesn't hurt to ask.
Hi mate, I'm a big fan of the 915 Marque D'elegance wax and have always had superb results with it but never used the 845. Would the 845 work as a top up for the 915 or best to just stick with 1 or the other?
Pan, I first prepare my car the way you always state in your videos and then applied the Turtle Wax Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax as the base layer and use their Pro Ceramic and Graphene Flex Wax as a topper. For my girl friend's car I used the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 as the base layer and the Turtle Wax Ice Seal n Shine as a topper. I will evaluate the long term results after the Michigan winter.
Cool, keep me posted! :)
Me too man!
Happy New Year Pan, great honest reviews as always, my friend has 845 I keep meaning to try it
Thanks Eamon! Happy new year! And thanks for being such a faithful viewer of my channel over all these years. It means a lot!
Thank you Pan for doing this video, i chose chemical guys butter wet wax to try on my Focus when the weather gets better, i hope it helps give alittle protection to my paint since i don't have the equipment to paint correct.😐
Thanks Tamra! How long does the CG wax last in your conditions?
Salut Pan, encore une super vidéo... Je te souhaite une bonne et heureuse année 2023... Bye
Merci et bonne année Titi!
Happy New Year Pan lots of info as usual thank you
Thanks Paul. Happy new year!
Awesome video and product review
Glad you liked it!
Pan, Very informative review. I live in KS where we get any where from -10 to 100+ temps plus snow and salt. I'm sticking with Brian's combo from Apex Detailing. I apply Xtreme Solutions LVR 403 or 404. Follow up with Xtreme Solutions Poly-Seal. I get one plus year of tight beading. For good measure, I finish with Xtreme Solutions LVR 357 for extra gloss. I can extend that with a spray of Turtle Wax Seal and Shine after 6 months or so which gets me almost 2 full years between applications. Happy with them and will stick with what works for my two Audis and two Vettes. Get lots of compliments from people and do well at car shows with this combination. Keep these informative videos coming my friend.
Thanks for sharing Bob, and happy new year!
Great video, and thanks for all the great content in 2022. Don’t think you mentioned if the polishes are plastic friendly - apologies if I missed it. I don’t mean applying direct to plastic, but accidentally coming into contact with plastic. I used to use AutoGlym Super Resin polish which was a nightmare to remove from smooth or textured plastic.
With any wax or sealant, it's always best to avoid touching the plastics. If you get some accidentally, no worries, just wipe immediately, or use a bit of APC and wipe. Or tape the plastic trim to be 100% safe.
But to my knowledge, none of these should leave white residue on plastics except for the Jescar and Wolfgang potentially.
Thanks Pan. Some brands shown I had not heard if before.
Thanks for watching! Which brands had you not heard of?
Great video. I would love to see a paste wax comparison.
Salut Pan! Ça ne fait qu’un mois mais les vidéos en français nous manque🥲 j’imagine que c’est beaucoup de travail mais tellement plus simple pour comprendre chaque détail😇 on espère te voir à Tours les 11/12 mars 2023!😜
I use 845 on top of my ceramic coating. It gives a nice gloss and a sacrificial layer.
Haha my gf heard me laughing in the living room said what's up? I said it's Pan getting silly in his videos. 😄 as always appreciate the info on these products pan.👍🇨🇦
Heheheh awesome! I had to learn new editing tricks to do the intro, and I think it turned out so cool !!
Hey Pan, I recently started watching your videos, thank you for all the knowledge man. Was thinking on doing auto detail on the side of my 9-5. When you do a detail for a customer and they want a wax, would you tend to do a spray or specify traditional, by hand or machine which would take a lot longer..any way you can do a video on different wax applications for ex - quick wax Vs a specialized or more focused wax or when you go to a job and you say your going to do a wax and the customer asks or specifies what type of wax application they would want. Do you already have a price point or just depends on the job?
Happy New Year Pan! Excellent vid seemingly aimed at the weekend warrior/driveway detailer. Although familiar [doing my own research] with all of the products reviewed here, I've only used the TW MAX. I live in south central Maine U.S. and do not garage my Tornado (flat) Red GTI, which is the vehicle that I have primarily used the MAX WAX. I have used it on several clients' cars who garage their vehicles, which has tended to give the wax some longevity.
That being said, for my GTI, my priorities are appearance. Durability is important, yes, but I obsess over it enough that it's not my top concern. What I really like about the MAX along with gloss and shine is the jetting effect on the red paint. It definitely gives it a deeper tone - possibly due to the Carnuba content(?) Imho it's gr8 stuff. The extra step with the damp cloth (for me) is minor. I use that technique with all of their higher end products - Seal&Shine and Ceramics included. It just works... Imho topping the MAX with FLEX occasionally is a terrific combo. Keep up your good work - shine on you crazy diamond!
Thanks Audie! And thanks for sharing your personal experience. How many months of durability do you get from Max Wax? I typically see 4 to 5 months in my conditions. But yeah the gloss and slickness are awesome on it!
@Pan The Organizer hi Pan, honestly, I can't really say about the MAX durability. Although it seems solid, my OCD won't let me wait that long...lol. Usually, within 4-5 weeks, I've topped it with FLEX spray. And then, sometime after that, I've coated it with the Ceramic Graphene Paste. THAT👈🏼 combo the last 2 seasons has been bulletproof. Punch up my channel, I made a short show-off vid! Thx Pan, I always appreciate your mojo.
Great Video Pan!

Hi I have simoniz glass coat and it is recommended by them to continually wax/seal the paint. What would be a good choice please to go over a glass coat?
Great Video Pan and very informative! Question- Would it be ok to first apply the new Jescar Ultra Lock + and then follow with Collinite 845. I remember you and Matt M. liked this combo with the previous version of Jesco power lock and then followed by Collinite 845.
I haven't tested the new combo.

lol…great video Paniel San, i’m a huge fan of the therapy of waxing my vehicles
Thanks Franko! What's your favourite wax ever?
@@PanTheOrganizer i primarily used meguiars gold class for years, but the in the last 2 years i’ve had an awakening to auto detailing and i’m on the search for a favorite, i really liked the turtle wax ceramic hybrid paste, and currently waiting for good weather to do a full wash, decon, and polish for my new can of fusso. and i bought the fusso thanks to your video on it, thanks for all your hard work and sharing your passion!
Really would love to see another ASMR real time wash. It's been awhile since you made one of those videos.
What I use is Chemical Guys Jetseal and Butterwet wax combo. After a week of daily driver after the maintenance wash I’ll add P&S Beadmaker and add it as a drying aid every maintenance wash. My car is garage kept and I’ve notice it last a year. (In Houston, Texas)
What's the average durability you are seeing in your conditions Brian?
@@PanTheOrganizer I would say about 6 months but the extra layer of bead maker prolong the protection.
I use CG jetseal on my hellcat. Last time I had to apply was July 2019 (last step of a 50 hr paint correction i did). It is garage kept and I live in the desert of WA state, but the car is my daily driver and sits in the parking lot at work all day. The windshield still rolls water off without need of wipers. It doesn't bead as tight in the paint as it did the first year or two, but I am amazed at how well it is still doing. Been fighting back issues, but plan to do a touch up correction and go to adams advanced graphene on it if I can get things squared away with redoing nerve ablations for my low back before spring.
Pan, thanks so much!! Appreciate how generous you are of your time and advice. For those who like to “pamper “ you car- even if it’s a daily driver- is there an in between compromise? Meaning ceramic coat your car and. Then apply a topper - weekly /monthly like a wax/ or an SiO2 infused wax - to maintain the luster - and allow me to enjoy the process ? Many many thanks. I’m a doctor by day and a newly obsessed DIYer !
Some real gems in that lineup for sure. Adams butter wax makes your paint look like it's melting off It's so wet.
What's your favourite one in the lineup? The Adam's?
@@PanTheOrganizer I'd have to say the Turtle Wax. I prefer the Flex Wax spray version more but both are great!
I also prefer the Flex Wax spray compared to the Max Wax liquid wax, as the Flex Wax lasts twice as long in my conditions.
Hey pan. Love the videos! I saw you use Adams buttery wax. I see that Adams has a graphene liquid wax. I didn't know if you ever tested that out or not. If not, could you?
Hi Pan good video as usual 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video and information 👍
Thanks 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed the skit 👍
Glad to hear that, thanks! I learned new editing techniques for that, and I think the result came out pretty cool with the retro/vintage feel. :)
Hi Pan, thanks again for an entertaining and informative vid. I have shied away from ceramic products because of what I read about the difficulty in removing. Currently I am using Klasse All-In-One topped with Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax. I love the ease of application, but wonder if there is a better choice for durability. I wax every 4 mths.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm very pleased with Turtle Wax Hybrid solutions. I last detailed my cars in September and my daily driver is still beading strongly after a blizzard and an ice storm, and multiple "No-touch" car washes. Thank you for this presentation.
Thanks Tedly!

Thanks Adron! Happy new year to you as well.
Love the video, Pan! I would love to try the pinnacle on my black car. Do you have a tutorial on the way YOU apply these waxes? I didn't see one.
I have one here: ruclips.net/video/KZjiPcsPBrA/видео.html
If you search for pretty much any detailing topic with the words "Pan The Organizer" in the RUclips search bar, you're always likely to find a video of mine. For example "How to wax your car Pan The Organizer". .;)
Hello Paaaaann San !!!
L'homme ceinture noire en detailing !
En produit similaire, je peux dire que le soft 99 F7 est facile à appliquer, sans comparaison avec la forme en pâte... Et la durabilité est donnée pour 7 mois, mais 6 mois en Lorraine semble plus réaliste. Basée sur la même technologie que la fusso coat.
Merci pour ton intro karaté kid.
La référence est parfaite 😎
J’ai du apprendre des nouvelles techniques de montage pour faire cette intro style rétro alors je suis content d’apprendre que tu as aimé! 😄👍🏻
Nice vid. I have been using Wolfgang for years and I have never been disappointed. The new formula is good but hands down for the old one. I always work in direct sunlight the that product has been had a reaction. Wolfgang is extremely good that sometimes I get surprised when I see the car rolling down the street 😄. I’ll look into Glossome from Phoenix. You got me thinking 🤔 and I want to support small companies. Great work Pan!!
By the way, Jescar has a terrible chemical smell that I can’t stand the pad inside my detail van. I either need to put it inside a bag or throw it away 😢
Thanks! And yeah I agree Jescar has a nasty chemical scent. I wish they could diminish that.
I just think that common waxes are a thing of the past. Granted, some of them have their place, but items like Buttery Wax do give gloss, but offer little protection and do not last that long.
I've used the Turtle Wax Graphene Wax and have had great results with it. And with durability- it's not only the washes that break down the wax, it's all of the other factors that are out of our control- one of them being weather.
Pan talk about spit shining. Spraying with a spray wax sparingly then rub a carnauba wax over the liquid wax. This is used in the military which works.
Chicago, Illinois, USA (My first comment may have been lost in the internet, so I’m reposting). If you remember, you and Obsessed dialed me onto the Jescar Power Lock /Colinite 845 combo. It was a great help building my business.
In October, 2022, I used Jescar ULTRA Lock for the first time. Two coats of Jescar Ultra with one coat Colinite 845. I’m glad you posted this video as it confirmed my observations-Jescar ULTRA doesn’t have the best shine (it’s still GREAT) or bead water as well as other products.
However, protection is where Jescar stands out. Just before Christmas, Chicago had about two inches of snow. It’s an election year in 2023, so the city put tons of salt and sodium chloride on the roads. My car ended up coated with along with road grime. : I snow foamed my car and let it sit for two minutes, then rinsed. I couldn’t believe what I saw: all the salt and road grime slid off my car without using my wash mitt. I never saw anything like this before.
I’m looking forward to Chicago’s next snow and seeing the Jescar results Thanks again for the video!
Thanks for sharing Keith!! That's awesome.
@@PanTheOrganizer here’s an update on the UltraLock. The second wash didn’t require any contact with my wash mitt, but the third wash did. That being said, The shine and hydrophobic remain excellent after three months. The sequence of application was two coats UltraLock with Colinite 845 as a topper. One week later Jescar Ceramic spray wax was applied. Nothing has been used to maintain the application. Once again, Jescar hit another home run. However, this spring, I want to return to carnival paste wax for the deepest possible shine. Which carnival paste wax would you recommend. If you remember, I used Blue Coral back in the 1970s and was blown away by the results. I can’t find Blue Coral anymore. What wax (no matter if it is as soggily to apply as Blue Coral) would you recommend for the ULTIMATE glossy shine?
Don’t really use carnuba waxes much. I do like the Meguiers gold class paste wax tho. But for time & ease I stick with TW seal & shine & Griots ceramic spray version. Both last an easy 9 months in the tough Chicago conditions. Side note, the TW is so slick that snow will just slide off i huge chunks when clearing it off.
I avoid anything ceramic.
I avoid using anything ceramic. It's too unforgiving. Collinite is the most economical and shines and protects as well as any. Probably wouldn't make it through a Chicago winter though.
Hope you can do a video of the CAR GUYS Liquid Wax in the future, I’ve have read some positive reviews about them. But I prefer to hear from you if that wax is really that good. Great videos Btw!
Thanks for the trust you place in my opinion. I appreciate it!
How did you discover my channel by the way?
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 840,000 subscribers and 105 million views! I have been detailing for 25 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 havnet used wax in a very long time. I still have my Zymol Glasur, Carbon, Dodojuice orange crush, Victoria mayham and my bottle of Optimum spray wax. I think I used the optimum maybe about a year ago. the others I havnt used in years. Sometimes I think about using my Zymol Glasur just for some meditation purpose but I never do
I'm in SE Florida, TW to the Max gives me high spots and I hate the two towel for leveling/removing. I love the Jescar easy on, easy off, even by hand, but be careful, it will stain trim and it's a pain to get out of my finishing pad. I'm a mobile detailer. If it's ,68 degrees here, it's winter, 😂
Great job Pan! I have used the Turtle Wax Graphene Infused Flex Wax and love it, but I would really like to try the Collinite. Do you apply that with a polisher or by hand?
You can apply Colinite 845 by hand or polisher. I used to prefer using a polisher. Now, I prefer doing by hand. It’s all a matter of preference.
@@JustProAutoDetailingInc Thanks!
I use the TW to the max on my F150 silver metallic last April I did just a light polish with TW 1 & done. Compound then applied the wax as per instructions by hand Then 24 hr later I applied TW flex wax I always wash with P&S pearl shampoo then I used TW 3in1 detailer weekly and add the flex wax once a month I stop washing end of November cause I don’t have access to a heated garage I’m very satisfied with the hydrophobic and gloss it is my daily driver and outdoor kept I live south shore of Montreal
Great video as always. I contacted turtle wax and they suggested that the Max wax should be applied first and top it with the flex wax to have the best results. What do you think ? I used the flex wax and love it.
I haven't tested that combo, but I did try the other combo Turtle Wax recommends, which is a base coat of the graphene + ceramic paste wax, topped with Flex Wax, and that works great, because you can use Flex Wax afterwards as a spray on rinse off method.
It goes contrary to the usual standard of applying the most durable product first, and the wax on top. But it works in this case hehe.
What product do you find gives the biggest gloss pop on white paint. My go right now is 845. Located outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I was not expecting that opening. Thanks for the laugh Pan. I was wondering if you would ever do another durable test with ceramic coatings, sealants, sio2 sprays etc. I know it came be quite cumbersome to apply all types of products. I would also like to see window coatings as well!
Glad to hear that, thanks! I learned new editing techniques for that, and I think the result came out pretty cool with the retro/vintage feel. :)
That real world testing was a nightmare to produce, as the organization needed is complicated, as I have to get that customer to bring their car back every month, people have busy lives, etc, and it also means I don't want them to wash their car, as I have to control those variables.
Perhaps one day I'll do another one, as it was quite a popular series on my channel.
@@PanTheOrganizer fully understandable Pan.
Really great video Pan! I love the different waxes but i've been leaning towards the spray waxes here lately. Ive been using the Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax ontop of the Seal N Shine and its been one of my favorite go to's. Would be cool if you could compare some spray waxes compared to the traditional waxes. Keep up the great work.
P.S. Week 6 in a row of trying to do a video collab w/ you :D
Thanks Warren.
One thing though. I notice you always type that comment at the end about a collab... Do you have a RUclips channel? As the collabs I do are to help other small channels to grow, but you need to have an operational channel with at least 10K subscribers or more, as it wouldn't be of any help if your audience is too small to begin with... Doing collabs has a bigger impact if the channel has 20K subs or more.
Ok Pan.....that Intro was CHEEZY. It did make me smile though.
I always like to change things up a bit every now and then, and make my viewers laugh a bit. The world is too serious at times hehe.
Awesome video Pan , always on point
I have a question can the Flex wax be used to maintain the “To the max wax” ?
Yes, absolutely
Great video as always. Can they be applied over a ceramic or graphene coating?
In theory, nothing prevents you from applying a regular wax or sealant on top of a coating. But in practice, we never recommend this as you would be masking the coating's superior properties. Also, the coating would end up rejecting the topper anyways, as it's not meant to be super compatible, so durability of that wax or sealant would not be very long.
For coatings, stick to ceramic or graphene maintenance sprays.
What brand of waxes would you recommend that contain si02 and can be applied over a ceramic coating? (I’m more of a old soul, I like to go out and apply wax by hand frequently)
Hi Pan, thank you for the great content. Could you use the turtle flex spray as a topper over the liquid max wax to achieve the 9 to 12 month durability?
It doesn’t quite work like that. But yes you can use it as a topper. But its durability as a topper is unknown.
Hey pan I lov all ur videos. Just getting started in detailing just for side jobs right now. Quick question why doesn't any one use air comprssors to dry cars? In stead they get an additional item to dry
I always use a car dryer to dry cars, as they're quicker and more efficient. I even made a video comparing my three blowers here: ruclips.net/video/4up2Atg4ks0/видео.html
But not everyone has the budget for a blower. And blowers are only good if the vehicle has protection on the paint (wax, sealant or coating) as the hydrophobic properties help the air move the water off the paint.
On vehicle that have zero protection, hand drying with a microfiber towel is actually quicker.
I'm in Miami, FL. I use jescar and 845 as a topper over jescar. 1 month and half still going strong
Thanks for sharing!
Love your content. I’m an older guy and just decided to transition into professional detailing. I’m curious what your take is on interior ceramic protection?

What do you mean by interior ceramic protection? For leather seats, a leather coating? I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/CuN77nz8Ex8/видео.html
Lots of great info here. 845 would be the top pick for me. I'd like to try that Pinnacle at some point. My go to for years now has been Ultima Paint Guard Plus sealant. I get an easy 6-7 months before I strip it and reapply. It was still protecting nicely at that point.
Thanks Keith!
Hi Pan, Chemical guys butter wet wax just says long lasting on the bottle, i'm not sure how long it will last on my car, as i haven't applied it yet, i live in N.H. U.S.A and our weather is alot like yours snow, sleet, rain and salty roads, my poor car is out in the elements all year long,as i have no garage, i'll have to get back to you on it's performance when i apply it and try it.
Hi pan. Big joe here again. I do remember asking you previously if you have heard of a product called auto smart Finnish. You said you hadn't heard of it. Well that's fair enough. I do watch your friend the forensic detailing channel and he does use it. Please check it out. Thanks again pan.
Thanks, Pan!
Which is more glossy, Collinite 845 or TW To The Max Wax??
Hi pan , just wanted to know what is or are the good toppers to use if you have a ceramic coating thxs gus from montreal!
Watch my drying aids video: ruclips.net/video/NOTNed04xYE/видео.html
I use the jescar power lock plus and and follow it with collinite 845 a couple hours after applying the jescar. It lasts a long time.
That's still a good sealant/wax combo. I made a video of that combo here: ruclips.net/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/видео.html
Glossome wax is the best you got there pan stuff super slick easy to use and last at least 9 months from my testing.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience!
