You could help people out by writing down everything you take off the shelf for video consumption. I would imagine you could also find someone to write it off on your taxes if you track it. Also, my OCD Spidey senses tingled when I saw the silver wheel weights, since I know they also come powder coated black.
Matt, any reason you didn’t use Gtechniq’s Wheel Armor coating? It’s made specifically for wheels, and has a much higher temperature rating so you can use on brake calipers too.
Those quick releases look nice. Wish we had them at my job. We have the ones that you have to push in to put the air gun on and off and some of them get stuck and leak horribly. Working with them all day is real royal pain in the ass.
Matt, Quick question , for my Weekend number 1 car , Garage kept. Etc. What about CSL + ExoV4 ( maybe even 2 coats of Exo ) OR do you think 2 Coats of ExoV4? I see many guys doing this on-line etc. Thoughts ? I would not do this to every car. The wheels are a gloss black wheels. Thanks for the great vids!!
Matt, I assume this coating will eliminate the need to use Adam's wheel cleaner? If one decided to continue using Adam's, do you think it would affect the longevity of the C5?
I use Beadmaker on the paint, but I like to use Gyeon Wetcoat on the wheels, as I can then just dry them with the blower. Much quicker than wiping the barrels with Beadmaker. Not a bad idea to wipe the face with Beadmaker though. Of course then we are protecting the protection that’s protecting the protection 😛
The problem with WetCoat and other spray silica sealants would be the lack of protection in comparison to other options. You gets tons of beading, but not necessarily true protection.
Anuj Chokshi he did a video with Gtech a while ago. And learned from them. They basically said that it’s on instantly and that a normal DIY’er should do it that way, but that from a professional perspective, there are markers for when to take it off, the sheen oil slick look, or expansion of the streaks. It’s a good video to watch.
Nathan is correct. There is no harm done by letting it sit for a little while just so you don't leave it on too long. That's when experience comes in. Otherwise, the think I like about Gtechniq coatings is that you can wipe it on and off immediately, and it seems to still work really well.
About Surface Wash? If i record correctly, he tried it (check the video). foam was great (probably best in the market) but he didn't found that it cleaned that much more compared to adam's shampoo. I saw a few review about it and they tend to showcase the cleaning capability of it, which is interesting for a foaming product. i don't know who's right or wrong, you might have to try it for yourself on this one. It is more expensive than most shampoo though.
Obsessed Garage Thanks Matt! I’m going to use up what products CG Foam Soaps I have and then switch to Adam’s Shampoo. I know when you tested the Adam’s Shampoo, you preferred their Adam’s Wash. I’ve got a couple things I need to order from your Store in addition to a gallon of Adam’s Shampoo.
Matt, I can say you leave your ego at the house. I stopped buy OGHQ a few months ago. Even though you are successful and have a lot of great things you are very humble and approachable :)
When I watch other people's videos I get really concerned I'll do something wrong. When I watch Matt, the task becomes less intimidating. I think I'll go tackle a few ceramic coatings now
Getting new wheels delivered to me soon. Should I wait until I have them balanced so the coating doesn't interfere with the wheel weight glue? Or does it not matter?
I love how the camera guy set you up to catch hell for standing on top of the ladder. Good sense of humor lol
Ha, ha... That is Bryce's directive, to make me look stupid as much as possible.
silver metal wheel weights instead of black ones ? that is definitely not obsessed!
6:27 is so TRUE! I know a lot of people like that
OSHA will be there on Monday..
Ha, ha... I'm like a cat. Do you think that excuse would work?
We had a journeyman use a similar excuse with OSHA, they didn't buy it.
"My friend Tavarish" is a pleonasm.
Tovarish (Russian: Товарищ) is a Russian word meaning comrade, friend, colleague, or ally.
Perfect timing as my wheels are being dropped off to the coater today. They are also going to be matte black.
Thank you.
What wheel cleaner do you recommend with coated wheels? I notice they recommend a non acidic cleaner so Adams wouldn’t be ideal correct?
P&S brake buster is one of the best if not the best. Auto fanatics wheel cleaning foam is great too. Check em out
Top video (still don't get the tyre centers to put silver color weights on black wheels )
Why not just clear coat the rims ?
They’re satin, and ceramic coatings protect the finish and make it easier to keep clean.
I think something usefull in your OGHQ would be a leanlift. quite an investment but you could pack all those shelves en there.
Matt, I no longer see C5 Wheel Armour on your site, what do you recommend now for satin black wheels? Thanks in advance.
Man, OEM M wheels in satin black looks sick.

Looks great Matt!
Matt, any reason you didn’t use Gtechniq’s Wheel Armor coating? It’s made specifically for wheels, and has a much higher temperature rating so you can use on brake calipers too.
C5 is their Wheel Armour coating.
Yeah, C5 is Wheel Armor. www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/wheel-tire/products/gtechniq-c5-wheel-armor?variant=15851836407880

Those are awesome looking wheels. Bmw logo pops on them!
How would you prep and polish a rim that's about 3 years old.
The problem with not cleaning regularly is that with time more sand and dirt will end up scratching your car when you open the hood or so.
Is it alright to use the same XL brush for Perl that you use for wheel cleaning?
You'll want a separate one.
Matt awesome video I was wondering what is the brush you used to put pearl on with and what dilution you doing ty in advance
1:1 with the RaceGlaze XL brush.
www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/wheel-tire/products/raceglaze-detailing-brush-xl
What happens when you need to change the tires? Will a shop be able to stick weights onto parts of the wheel that has been coated for balancing?
I'll likely just polish the barrels prior to balancing.
When using Perl for the tires with a spray bottle, what dilution ratio are you using ? Thanks Matt.
I have it diluted 50% water and 50% Perl.
uh oh...He used a different dressing application method...The market is going to change from foam blocks to brushes now. LOL Wheels look great Matt
Gtechniq recommend applying one coat, not two, according to what they say on their you tube video
Hey Matt, have you considered Tornador products. Both for blow drying small areas and interior cleaning?
Yes, I do need to get them, but I tend to prefer the straight air tips from Prevost.

I think you need to try air brushing the coating onto the wheels. Allot faster to apply
Yeah, I've seen that done. I think I would need a respirator to do that.
Obsessed Garage, I agree a respirator would be a must.
...Anddd here we are thinking he was afraid of heights ! haha.
Did you say you're gonna put BeadMaker on the tires?
I may have, but I don't think I intended to say that.
@@ObsessedGarage Ahh ok - Thanks for clarifying that! Else I would have started to apply Beadmaker to my tires as well! :oP
wheels look awesome on the car man, great stuff
I can actually keep those wheels in my living room as displays
that satin finish, sooooo good
Now I need a brush. Lol. I’ve been applying Perl with the Adam’s square applicator. The brush looks much better.
I usually use the sponge to level it out. I just didn't have a new one handy.
Matt, I assume this coating will eliminate the need to use Adam's wheel cleaner? If one decided to continue using Adam's, do you think it would affect the longevity of the C5?
Definitely not. You will still need wheel cleaner.

What size bottle did you use to coat your wheels twice? 15ml?
This was 15mL bottle.
Noticed you wait 5 minutes to flash and remove...the gtechnic website says wipe off immediately. How do we know what’s the right thing to do?

What are your thoughts on the Griot’s Car Wash Vs CG Snow Foam, Mr. Pink or Adams Car Shampoo?
About Surface Wash? If i record correctly, he tried it (check the video). foam was great (probably best in the market) but he didn't found that it cleaned that much more compared to adam's shampoo. I saw a few review about it and they tend to showcase the cleaning capability of it, which is interesting for a foaming product. i don't know who's right or wrong, you might have to try it for yourself on this one.
It is more expensive than most shampoo though.
I've never used the CG Snow Foam. I think Adam's is the best. Mr. Pink is also good and a little less expensive.
Obsessed Garage Thanks Matt! I’m going to use up what products CG Foam Soaps I have and then switch to Adam’s Shampoo. I know when you tested the Adam’s Shampoo, you preferred their Adam’s Wash. I’ve got a couple things I need to order from your Store in addition to a gallon of Adam’s Shampoo.
I’m about to use PERL on my tyres for the first time. Is 2:1 the way to go?
Yes, I think it looks best diluted at 50% water/50% Perl
Isn’t that 1:1? 1 part Perl, 1 part water? I’m confused 😞
@@benline375 yes that would be 1:1 sir
Daamn! Looking good! Way nicer than my black rims getting beat up by the terrible Michigan roads 😂
matt can you please test the clay towel from the rag company on the 1m and tell us how it is?!! I only trust you.
I'm not a fan of clay towels. They are too floppy for me. I like the NanoSkin sponge and pad.
Matt, I can say you leave your ego at the house. I stopped buy OGHQ a few months ago. Even though you are successful and have a lot of great things you are very humble and approachable :)
Thanks man!
Can you put EXO v4 over C5?
yes !
Klipsch?
Matt, you need black wheel weights! I got so mad when I got my wheels with silver ones... :p
Yeah...it's all they had.
Obsessed Car Detailing
MPS4S look good denibbed. Need to do mine on the F30.
hahahahahahhaa, bob rossy,,, hahahaha,, regards from Mexico
When I watch other people's videos I get really concerned I'll do something wrong. When I watch Matt, the task becomes less intimidating. I think I'll go tackle a few ceramic coatings now
That's cool man.
I like these videos before I watch them because I know Matt is about to spit some knowledge!!
YEP!! 1ST AGAIN!!!
🤦🏼♂️
Getting new wheels delivered to me soon. Should I wait until I have them balanced so the coating doesn't interfere with the wheel weight glue? Or does it not matter?
I read on forum that's wheel weights will not stay on if you do this before. They will continue to fall off periodically.
