That’s what I mentioned in your first video about the M5. People think silver is boring because 95% of silver cars are riding with beat paint. Dialed in silver allows the undertones and flakes to really pop and it’s just gorgeous
I wish everyone was like you, that pays attention to the intricacy of things and does stuff right the first time. Keep it up OG! Loving the F10 content.
If you ever want the wipers to be in service position to wipe easier, just press the ignition button twice until it shuts off completely, then push and hold the wiper stalk upwards until it goes up and itll stay in the middle :)
In over 20 years of professional detailing I only had one issue with using water to clean and engine bay. That was a late 80’s Toyota Supra twin cam. Water got in the wells where the spark plugs are. The water pooled in the vee and shorted the plugs. A vacuum with a pvc pipe and compressed air and it dried them out fine. Zero problems with 100’s of cars. But like in my case you get on oddball occasionally.
Had issues with my 79 Camaro Z28. Had to pop the distributor cap off and dry inside the cap along with all the pugs and wires. Had to dry and leave it in the sun for a couple hours.
I think all you have to do is cover the sensitive areas and areas where water will pool up, also regular garden hose is enough, pressure washer is overkill.
faisal3398 definitely have to cover the sensitive areas, especially now in newer cars. Back in the day we would get that harsh engine degreaser off the shelf at the parts store. Spray the engine degreaser all over the engine bay and let it soak for 5-8 minutes then turn the car/truck on and spray it down with a garden hose and let the engine run to dry most of the water off, then use a compressor to blow the rest of the water off while the car was still on lol. We would let the car sit to cool down, then use original Armor All and spray it all over the engine bay and let it sit for an hour then do a quick wipe down. It would look amazing, but we could have done a lot of damage, but it’s pretty much the same when you drive your car in the rain with water splashing up in the engine bay! Thankfully we were lucky with the thousands of cars that came our way.
You might not read this but the best spray bottles ever made are for reptiles to make humidity they tend to have more adjustment not to hurt certain reptiles eyes 👌♥️
Matt, if you wanna save some time, use the APC in the foam cannon and foam the engine. I got this trick from Mike Philipps and that is how I do all engines now. Super quick and you don't kill you hand muscles pumping that sprayer a gazil... sorry, a trillion times ;) And yes, engines and door jambs always first, you will send gunk all over the paint if either are dirty.
@@juanlanzalot8969 I was the one who suggested he tries the foam cannon when he did the video with the IK foamer and was mad at it for having to pump 30 times to get 10 seconds of foam ;) I did not think about using the foam cannon for the engine until I saw a video from Mike Philipps using a foam gun on a hose. Sometimes our brain just doesn't make the connection if it's not something you learned when you started detailing,
@PoloGTMadness Silverstone is an underrated color. This version, IIRC Silverstone III, looks to have significantly less blue hue to it vs Silverstone I (E39) and Silverstone II (E60)
Really looking forward to future episodes! Any chance you can give us a finish shot of the engine when it's all dry? would like to see how it leaves the finish. Thanks :)
It is rather funny that you can watch him fan boy on products and make excuses as to why they leak etc but if someone suggests something he deems shit he knocks it without fail. I like his videos but man sometimes he contradicts himself and it's so obvious.
I've explained this a hundred times. This is version one of the bottles. They are not good enough. I couldn't have made that any clearer. If I was a fan boy, I would have cut out the parts where the bottles fail. They may never get it right, but if I don't try, it will never happen. Then we will all be stuck with the status quo.
I have no idea how you get the courage to do this in the summer,. I just bought my house in TX and I have dreamed of washing my car in my own driveway but have held off just due to the heat... and you have like 100% humidity... Thanks for the video
Your wool wheel wash mits would probably be better suited to engine bay cleaning than most of the brushes that you used. Your fingers have a lot more dexterity in those areas than the brushes, so you have more control and it would probably take less time, especially the underside of the hood and all the top level surface plastics. Might be worth trying.
The meguiars apc kills sprayers, have had it happen to a few of mine. Even though its diluted pretty heavily. The bottles sprayers can handle degreaser, tar remover fine. But the APC seems to kill them.
This comes from a place of respect as a current OG customer. I think that you would be better off working with Harris Sprayers and have them do an OG version in blue. I know they have other color options than the ones shown in the link below. These sprayers are solid, but you loose the ability to spray upwards, which is not a big loss to me. I like seeing the contents, built in measuring and dilution guide, solid quality, etc. Should buy a few and try them, if you haven’t already. www.amazon.com/Harris-Professional-All-Purpose-Measurements-PRO-32-1/dp/B01G6EMOKW/ref=pd_bap_rp_9/135-0177857-2348152?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01G6EMOKW&pd_rd_r=52a1aca3-07e6-4f80-9a6f-408dac698ac2&pd_rd_w=nqgFK&pd_rd_wg=5Rj9C&pf_rd_p=bc4a692a-efbf-4fea-abae-2257b7d438d4&pf_rd_r=Y2QJKC0MMHW2KPDTPYMK&psc=1&refRID=Y2QJKC0MMHW2KPDTPYMK
Matt, have you considered using Swisstrax in your wash bay? Or does the bay drain well enough? Sure would eliminate the squish squish walking around the car.
3m has its hands in everything from band aids to Christmas wrapping paper and that’s just their adhesive division! I’ve had much better luck with companies that specialize in automotive. I feel 3m is too big to actually care about each customer or do anything if something doesn’t turn out.
Obsessed Garage been an auto technician for 15 years and have been spraying engines for at least 20 won’t hurt a thing as long as you’re paying attention
@Luka I really like D101. When I use it, I generally use it around 10:1 and I get plenty of foam if I agitate. It works very nicely on all sorts of plastics, interior and exterior, and especially well on interior buttons that have some embedded human grease/slime. It’s also cheap, which is a nice plus.
@Luka Yes, although a dedicated carpet/spot cleaner like Folex does a quicker job, if you’re reducing the amount of products you have on hand D101 is certainly viable. D101 works very nicely on winter rubber floor mats.
What kind of tint is that? 15%? The windshield looks tinted, too. 13:40 Can you expand on that, what you said about replacing the B pillars? I’ve heard this to be problematic with the F30 328i/330i matte/unpainted black plastic trim fading but I thought the gloss pillars were ok? I take it that you can’t paint correct this? Is this the case with all B-pillars on any car or just with BMW’s?
The Land Rover is built a little bit differently under the hood, to keep water out, but there is SO much plastic coverings in modern engine bays that we don't have to be as careful as old cars.
Matt, did you watch the episode of AutoVlog where his 3-month old C63 S got hydrolocked while driving on the freeway during inclement weather? He found out that water got into the air intake and destroyed the engine, total-lossing the car. Curious about your thoughts on that and whether something like that could happen when you’re power washing the car?
You would have to open up the intake, shove the nozzle in there, turn the car on, and start revving it for a minute or two for that to happen. The only way to hydrolock and engine is to drive through a large, deep pool of water.
OMG haha, no i keep quiet, no more tyre questions either, although im not going to do that to my engine bay since it gave my problems in the past already.
I usually put plastic grocery bags over my alternator, aftermarket air filter, and anything I don't want to get soaked with too much water during this process.
Where I used to work they would start the engine spray degreaser pressure wash blow dry soak with dressing and let it run for half hour give it a good red line and shut her down I always worried about a engine light seems like steam cleaning can be a safe alternative too I have not tried yet
9:50 Yes, it does suck. People like to watch the "satisfying" videos where tons of filth is cleaned away....but definitely dont want to do it themselves.
Honestly between the heat and the rainy season in Florida it’s truly hard to keep your vehicle dirt free.My vehicle has not seen a single automated car wash since I bought it new and refuse to visit one.So we sweat our butts off to get the task done but I always find it satisfying knowing it’s done right.
Hey Matt u don't like those little trolley cars you push around with your tools/towels/spray bottles . It drives me nuts going back to look for a product and not having it by hand. Sorry for my orthography , I'm latin
How about doing an actual dirry engine bay for better represenation of how well the products work. This was already clean and you barely did any cleaning to it. I'm curious about your products but this wasn't that great of a sales pitch

You know you’re obsessed when You’re more concerned with using a door jam towel on the paint than on your own face.
The wheel towels are dual purpose for face towels as well

Well...I've done it all wrong enough time to now know what is right earlier in the process. I guess that has come with time and willingness to fail.

If you load the brush up with APC first, it tends to foam up better when agitating
It was good talking to you Matt!
I use the ZEP sprayers for my stuff, doesn't have some of the nice features that the pressols do but they work great
The Ik Multi would work out for engine bays perfectly.
Hate Zep. Shit bottles and shit triggers.
You might not read this but the best spray bottles ever made are for reptiles to make humidity they tend to have more adjustment not to hurt certain reptiles eyes 👌♥️

Do you prep the engine before foaming ie cover the alternators and other electrical connections?
He uses a foam cannon for doing wheels, strange he didn't use it in this engine bay, but it wasn't dirty really

Squish squeak squish squeak! LOL I remember having old Nike shoes that would start doing that during car washing when they got super worn out.
I could be wrong but those look like water shoes.
Very helpful Video Series- Will be Decontaminated my M2 Comp today.
Those first few minutes are why i could never move back to florida. I love detailing my cars but not in that humidity
engine bay detail... plus all the other good shit we love. what a guy 💪🏻
Man those sprayers really look like they're junk, all kinds of peepee dribble action
i have used better sprayers from the dollar store LOL

That's weird matt.I use my meg's APC 10:1
And foams verry good.humm..
Don't get piss ok.Just saying
What don’t you like about tolco sprayers?

I have, but I think it would look weird out there.
..... so Matt, how do I clean (soon to be delivered) 992S engine bay or a GT3RS for that matter?
There isn't anything to clean there. I just wipe it down like the door jambs.
Are you going to put 3m crystalline on the m5?
No, I really dislike Crystalline.
@@ObsessedGarage have u tried the xpel window film tints?
3m has its hands in everything from band aids to Christmas wrapping paper and that’s just their adhesive division! I’ve had much better luck with companies that specialize in automotive. I feel 3m is too big to actually care about each customer or do anything if something doesn’t turn out.
In before the debate on spraying water under the hood
That is a good topic but Matt already addressed this a while back. Maybe he can do a full episode on this topic.
There is every time I do this. "My daddy told me you can't do that."
Obsessed Garage been an auto technician for 15 years and have been spraying engines for at least 20 won’t hurt a thing as long as you’re paying attention
Great vid! Do you not need to prep the electrical components prior to spraying down the engine bay or is everything already covered normally?
On newer cars, you don't need to cover anything.
Wipes whole car, wipes face, same towel
Great episode Matt, I’ve been looking for a good All Purpose Cleaner and i might just have to give Meguiars a try. 👍🏼
@Luka I really like D101. When I use it, I generally use it around 10:1 and I get plenty of foam if I agitate.

computiNATEor 10:1 I’ll try that dilution. Have you used this on interior carpets?
@Luka Yes, although a dedicated carpet/spot cleaner like Folex does a quicker job, if you’re reducing the amount of products you have on hand D101 is certainly viable. D101 works very nicely on winter rubber floor mats.
computiNATEor I’ll make sure to give them a go 👍🏼 it all comes in handy
Nice job. Where can I find those floor mats?
Love the detail but you need to do something about your wading pool there. Repour that concrete or lay down some swisstracks
Maybe it was mentioned, and I totally missed it. But, shouldn't the engine bay be done first, then the decontamination wash second?
Yes, I talked about that. The engine bay was still warm.
What kind of tint is that? 15%? The windshield looks tinted, too. 13:40 Can you expand on that, what you said about replacing the B pillars? I’ve heard this to be problematic with the F30 328i/330i matte/unpainted black plastic trim fading but I thought the gloss pillars were ok? I take it that you can’t paint correct this? Is this the case with all B-pillars on any car or just with BMW’s?
I think it's 25%.
It’s good idea put water in to the engine bay?
It's not a big deal.
The Land Rover is built a little bit differently under the hood, to keep water out, but there is SO much plastic coverings in modern engine bays that we don't have to be as careful as old cars.
Would you advise diluting carpro pearl for engine bay dressing?
I prefer Hyper Dressing for that.
Hallo, i have the same car, but im not sure if it good or not to the engine?
Matt's level of OCD makes my OCD look flippant :) Good job as always!

OMG haha, no i keep quiet, no more tyre questions either, although im not going to do that to my engine bay since it gave my problems in the past already.
Is hyper dressing coming in 32 OZ bottles as well? 🙏
Yes!
Obsessed Garage that’s wonderful I don’t use enough of it to justify the cost of a gallon! Seriously though try Sonus Motor Kote works excellently
so what's the consensus on this? Have never detailed my engine bay out of fear of getting water into places it shouldn't be...
I've been doing this for 20 years. It's a non-issue.
Can you make an engine bay cleaning package?
Yes, working on it now.
Please more modifications content!
Paint the wheels gloss black and the car will look perfect 👌
I have OE Satin black that I'm putting on next week.
Why not a pump sprayer instead of the bottle
I would need 20 pump sprayers, and they don't really work all that well.
Can you do a full detail on a truck?
is it just me or does the audio sound very mono-toned?
It's jacked up in this video. My Sennheiser mic finally crapped out. I ordered a new one that will be here tomorrow.
I''ve had poor luck washing my engine bay. I killed an alternator and a radiator fan controller :/
