Stay tuned for more crazy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’m happy that these videos are going through the fundamentals. I don’t do this often enough for it to be second nature.
When I did my wash, decon, paint correction and ceramic coating I had to watch a bunch of different videos and do a lot of searching. It's nice to have this series to walk people through the process.
Do you plan to make money from it or is it a hobby skill? Asking because I don't know if it's worth the time to learn all these separate steps
The level of detail and sophistication in this video is absolutely insane.
Loving these detailed videos that include the basics, what you need, what are luxuries to have, etc. Great job, Matt! Watching these videos has been kind of therapeutic
Next level of detail from Larry NYC today. PPF on the cabinets... Food for though Matt.
Great video thank you 👍
Thank you. I have a new black car on order and I was a little nervous about correcting the paint. I feel much better now. I’m a bit “Obsessed” so this is right up my alley!
Fourth 👍 up from San Diego! I have been detailing my white Tesla Model 3 for 1.5 years using your system. Thank you for your videos
Matt's sales pitch for M101: "This dusts real bad, smells real bad, and feels like it's going to kill you." haha
He ain't wrong lmao
Wow! Awesome demonstration! I learned so much just from this one video. Will definitely be looking into your shop for some much needed supplies. Thanks and keep up the great content!
Fantastic video Matt... you’re always teaching your audience!! Thank you 👍👍
Just want to thank you for a VERY helpful video. This was the first one I ever saw. I got my shiny new Model 3 a month ago and the glass was bugging me because I could not get it clean, although it looked clean. I think this is the only video that addressed the glass. Thinking about going over the roof and back with Turtle Wax Graphene MAX now. On to Polishing. Almost have it all taped. Thanks again.
Have to polish mine again this summer after 2 years. Ceramic is starting to wear off. Can't wait to see the rest of this series!
Super detailed, thank you Matt. Freaking awesome
Thanks for the thorough explanation and tutorial. Excellent!!!
Lol, Matt cracks Me up. Don’t get cheap! 😂😂😂.
Though I’ve been detailing since I was 15(I’m 50) I continue to learn from videos like this. I have all the compounds/polishes save for 101 Meg’s. Thanks for videos like these, Matt. Have a good week.
You, Sir, are 100% a nerd, and last time I checked, 21st Nerds are not doing too bad these days. Love these videos.
Really useful. I'll be using yellow Rupes and Perfect Finish when I get my white model 3 next week. Thanks.
This is the best bloody content i've seen on this subject, ever. I wish i was in Florida to go visit and learn more.
Great news about their increase in paint quality. I got a 2022 coming in October (white) and will be using your advice when polishing. First timer here. Going to try the yellow pad with perfect finish. Probably throw on ism 3.0 after it’s polished 🔥
Dental floss on a stick also works really well to pull off the emblem
Tesla Nerds are like "OMG look at this polishing nerd"
To the Tesla nerds, they might get to understand this man isn't a nerd, he knows how to polish any car, correct any paint defect and exquisitely well done with the ultimate finish. He does it with no effort and professionally. It's the usefulness of this ability anybody can see the benefit and try to learn to develop.
@@samverdes1915 Yeah, basically a nerd Lmaoo
Had an RSX Type S as my first car in high school, now I got a Tesla M3 LR, this garage is my ideal garage. 😂🔥
Been getting fantastic results with a yellow pad and jescar CC.
Appreciate this video I’m just getting into polishing
Great video. Keep it up!
Bravo!!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks!
Not enough ads, Matt!
Hey Matt, love the videos! Shopping in your store as I watch. I noticed you mentioned rock chips in this video. Curious how you would fix them. Thanks bud!
Nice Video!!
such a good video
Great production and nuggets of knowledge. much appreciated for your hardwork.
I am expecting my Model Y soon, if you had to choose , would you stick with 3" or 5" pads?
Great video. 👍 Question.... What pad and compound would you recommend to get out a deep scratch on the roof of the glass?
Hey Matt, any plans on testing the Koch Chemie compound system?
Really liking the Tesla videos, different aproach but the same top quality contents.
With NO FILTERS! ahahah
Yeah, I have it. I need to use it.
"I don't think I'm a nerd"
"I'm gonna put the cap for this (relatively obscure in America European detailing product) on my (specific Honda engine designation) before I spend hours making a car really really shiny and applying (highly technical modern coating product)"
Nerds can't throw spirals.
@@ObsessedGarage " I'ma throw this football over that mountain" ;-D
@@ObsessedGarage checkmate
I know you previously said no ppf but I hope you change your mind and ppf the rocker panels and the rear quarter where it kicks up. I seriously thought you would do the whole front end in ppf given its so flat and a bug eater.
Great video and lots of great info, I'm gonna share in our local tesla forum for the *nerds*😂
Love when people get super focused on their craft. Can definitely tell you love what you do. Thanks for taking us through the whole process.
57:00 Sonax, Flex, Rupes, Scan Grip, Work Stuff nicee to see European products in US
Nice job nerd. 😁
heads lights have a uv protecting on them never new that
Can't wait to see it lowered and what rims are going to buy ??
Prob 12 different sets 😆
In the future do you have any plans in opening Obsessed Garage shops that provide detail services following your process and products of preference?
Wondering if Tesla not spending much time at the factory trying to “correct defects” leads to less overall swirls in the paint.
Hey Matt show us where you use the different sized pads
Yeah, that was the plan. I have to do it on the next one.
Can you put a spray nozzle on the bottle to get that badge off instead of pouring?
Would of been good to know the Clear Coat Depth before and after on this one, these 3’s usually run around between 75-110 Microns!
That is a bit of an exaggeration. Every one I've seen tested including my own was closer to 400 average. Which isn't far off from many other luxury cars. People really exaggerate about how bad Tesla paint is.
@@JohnVanderbeck I didn’t make any mention about how bad Paint was on a Tesla. Paint condition and Quality control goes a little beyond Depth!
@@detailerslife8127 Yeah you're right but a lot of people just equate low depth to bad paint.
Does this method also work with 4x4 trucks? Out what’s the different stages with dirt mud and scratches
Great video, gives me confidence to polish my white Model Y if I ever choose to do so. Not sure if I skipped over it but on these Teslas with frameless windows how do you polish them? Do you make a first run over the whole window with the doors closed, then open the door and do a little pass over the part that was covered by the frame?
Yeah, that’s how I do it. Open the doors polish, then close.
@@ObsessedGarage awesome. I wish Tesla would integrate a "Window Service" mode where you could manipulate the various open-closed states but I could see a lot of busted windows if that ever rolled out. LOL
hey matt what was the tool you used to lift the frunk and keep it stable
Great informative video! Any reason to have meguire’s if you have cutmax in the cabinet?
M101 is still more aggressive than Cutmax.
i always use clay lube to prime the pads before i put compound on.
@@jrose7381i only apply clay lube on new pads, to soften and not to scratch the paint.
@@jrose7381 I have always primed new pad with clay lube before applying polish, I find it helps to spread the polish over the pad. when applying coatings, using gyeon prep or carpro eraser to prepare the paint as last step. i dont see why you would prep the paint before starting the correction. dont get me wrong , i do wash the car with a heavy cleaner to remove any protection.
I did that little license plate scratch trick on a Range Rover ans was banned from license plate duty for life. They called it NLNP at my dealer; Never Let Near Paint.
you can say KCx insted of Koch Chemie 👌
I'd love to know where you went to High School. That would tell me everything I need to know.
Hey Matt, will you be testing out the new "Swan neck" spray bottles that Larry is using now?
I talked to guy that made them, but I scared him away. He was annoying me.
@@behindthen0thing Larry Kosilla from Ammo NYC. One of the best detailers in the game.
@@ObsessedGarage 😂 I was hoping for a test video. I'm hoping even more now!
Can you mention a few areas where the 3 inch was used. I have a 3 inch on order and happen to have gotten a Tesla in December 👍
A-Pillers, Side Windows, Mirrors, trunk lid, front bumper, etc.
@@ObsessedGarage thanks. Do you ever use the 3 inch or 1 inch for "trim" work as if you were painting then go back and use the 5in?
Detail and denerd!
Hey Matt - where's the next steps for coating the car: Ceramic / Sealant or Wax ?
Can anyone tell me why rain X leave streaks. I like the product because it lets me see out the window in the rain really well but don't like how it streaks. I am not sure if I am applying it right like a less is more kind of thing. Is there something better then Rain X?
How do you put the logos back?
I have the flex xc 3401 vrg with a 5.5 backing plate. Could I use the 6” Rupes foam pad with that backing plate?
Either size is going to be a little off. The 5" pads will be too small and the 6" pads will be too big.
"Most of you Don't Have A lift" Tuff Luck!!!!!! I Do.
Do you sell the blue floor jacks you had in the background? I haven’t seen them in the store. If not, what brand floor jacks are those?
They are from Harbor Freight, Pittsburgh. They are junk.
They looked good and were the correct color but I guess the search continues. lol. Thank you for replying..
I want a tesla now
Does anyone know if I need to tape chrome on the older Teslas?
I would tape it.
hey mat would a 250ml bottle do 1 car
I have one car, a Tesla Model Y, and I would like to do this, but a $3K entry just for the machines to polish my car once every couple of years doesn’t seem very cost-effective. At that point, wouldn't it be better to pay to have it done instead?
Buy the 9mm throw one from Adams for $129. Idk why you would spend 1000s.
Matt I need info on that hood prop tool you used. Please and thanks
@@jrose7381 thanks trying to find just the small one cause I already have a big one
Yeah, Kamikaze hood and door props from Esoteric.
Appreciate the work that goes into these videos and respect the business Matt has built for himself, but he left the real world a lONG time ago. Showing $3000 worth of machines he got for free, products he throws at several cars that cost several hundred dollars, are more flex than sharing knowledge. Larry from AMMO is the exact opposite. Millions of followers and customers yet his humility and still-grounded in reality personality is second to none,
I didn't get any of these for free. I bought all of it. Larry gets everything for free.
No 3M Eraser Wheel?
I can never get that thing to work without creating a massive amount of heat.
Could I please have your red underline for the dual motor badge?
Bro I don’t have the time to watch this I got to go put down another layer of my turtle wax graphing infused flex wax😂 jk
Don’t forget the Adam’s graphene tire shine.
@@joetacchino4470 Crap you’re right!
But is it filtered?
A dab a diesel fuel on a rag remove sticky to right off the paint
I always hate when a video says go watch another video first, then they don't give any links.
Pain in the ass that cord over the shoulder. XFE 15 150 all day! That and the Nano makes life easier.
Might I just emphasize; the only way I know you'e legit is the limited range of products on your website. A matrix wouldn't hurt, but I believe you believe when you have one finishing compound available. please, please, PLEASE keep going that way or, at least, add a matrix.
fiu fiu Koch Chemie storming US market. What happened that USA market is finally opening for European detailing professional detailing stuff ? nice :)
Sonax are in the US for a while
Good video but he clearly hates electric cars and badges for some weird reason. Which is kind of what a nerd would do. Either way really informative video
Tell me more about your cool lights, nerd
Noooo Matt - you are not nerd ! Not at all ! Glad to you got a Tesla. You should take a trip to Norway - Tesla Capitol of The World.
I'm a huuuuge nerd* and I can squat XD Not much though, cause I'm a weak little babbie, but hey!

I've also got a 2020 M3 Pearl White and I have the same reaction about the quality of the ex-dealer paint quality. No complaints. However....
I have just taken delivery of a Model S Plaid in black, and the paint finish is awful. Very unhappy and don't know that paint correction is going to be enough.
Black is a bitch for showing up imperfections. The textured ripple finish is awful. It almost gives a semi satin finish appearance.
Tesla has horrendous paint quality. From the factory, it is honestly some of the worst I have ever seen from any manufacturer.
The overall finish is not so much 'orange peel' but rather a sea of 'miniature waves' with very little gloss.@@ObsessedGarage
I think Elon must have called in to make sure your car was on point . My Model 3 is full of imperfections .
No. It’s completely hit or miss u fortunately. I have a friend that has had 5, I’ve had 2. Of his 5, two have been perfect. Two imperfect. And one lemon buyback, lol.
I had the same experience with my 2021 Model 3. Paint was nearly perfect.
A nerd is a person seen as overly intellectual, obsessive, introverted or lacking social skills. Such a person may spend inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, little known, or non-mainstream activities, which are generally either highly technical, abstract, or relating to topics of science fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities.[1][2][3] Additionally, many so-called nerds are described as being shy, quirky, pedantic, and unattractive.[4]
You exhibit physical prowess; however, that does not negate many of the aspects or defining characteristics of a nerd as identified above.
I fought the stigma of a nerd as well through military service, running marathons, riding mountain bikes, motorcycles, and anything to separate me from what I considered a “nerd”. However, I’ve come to accept that my mental predisposition is towards “nerd” categories. The latest technologies (cars, motorcycles, manufacturing, etc.); detailing, which most people do not do; tools and their specifications, leveraging computers to make life more efficient; and an obsession to learn as much as possible about the above listed categories.
Welcome to Nerdville! Embrace it!
Not a microfiber pad guy?
Oh nevermind I see them now. Didn't see them in that first wide shot. We ride the meguiars mf all day during compound and finish with yellow/ polish.
But we also have the rupes blue yellow wool around. Good choices 😊
Don't dumb it down too much Matty
Just for this one. I figured I'd do it a little simpler on this series.
very funny your pronunciation of " KOCH"
matt, go to google traduction and listen to the pronunciation in German !
Paint correcting a white car. LOL.
Watching the 60 minute vlog and laughing at a man polishing a white car.... LOL
Pronounced like "coke shemie" if you are not a native German speaker.
Spending all this money on equipment might as well just pay a pro to do it
I have a lot of cars and change them often.
@@ObsessedGarage lol must be nice but I meant for us peasants with out state of the art detail garages 😞😭 I’m so jealous your set up is amazing love the channel
Koch is pretty much the same as cock........ but chemie is pronounced in this video: th-cam.com/video/jo6eVzUH2cI/w-d-xo.html at around 2 minutes in. Also at 5 minutes Koch is pronounced
And there are english subtitles below the german ones :)
Whatever, it's KCX now....
Ooh.... did somebody offend you?? Well, just because YOU don't want to learn things, doesn't mean that everybody else shouldn't.
@@Steen_Skov boring shitpost
@@NipponStiqqyPaint why even bother responding then? Do you have a need to be noticed?
Soft soft soft paint! Just like Audis..
This is not for the Diyer!
