Man I love Matt's parents, the way everything comes packaged no leaks whatsoever. Big companies gotta learn how to do it especially when you're buying expensive products. Thanks Matt
I have been watching your videos every sense the old house, and I must say that your videos of the information on car cleaning is just getting better and better, and thanks for keeping it real.
I'm unsure if you'll see this, but I just wanted to let you know that over time you won me over as a viewer and subscriber. Your content is so phenomenal, and even though I don't always agree with everything you say (and this is a big point some people need to understand: you don't always have to agree, it's okay to have different opinions) I truly value what you do for the community. Your series with Jason Kilmer and Andy Ward was some of the best content I've seen to date, from anyone. Your time at OPT training was wonderful to watch. The most recent series with Rupes was also unbelievable. I appreciate the objective approach, and the value on supporting a business that innovates and produces high quality items. I appreciate the hours of content you put out, for free. I appreciate the time you take to put together these packages. I'm a humble DIY guy, and while I simply use my PC as a 3" machine, and a MT300, I don't have a real need to upgrade to something like a rupes. If the time ever comes when I do find I need something top of the line, I'll undoubtedly be purchasing it from you.
Best video yet. Clear, concise and intelligently delivered. I already have almost all of your items on hand from watching yours and others videos and I 100 % agree with ALL your choices. Bravo sir, Bravo
I dont focus on what this costs, i focus on the value and quality of this package. I appreciate the effort Matt, you constantly go to when creating these packages to ensure we only get the best possible products and equipment. This does not go unseen at my end of all this. Keep up the awesome work - Matthew
It would be really cool if you were to get a really dirty and scratched up car, and only using the products found in your packages on your store, restore it completely. That way we could have a series of the packages at work, so we would know what to expect.
I've tested many compounds and polishes. I think these two polishes are the best to cover from hard to soft paint and light to heavy defects. Both are easy to use and great results.
very well put together package clean and classy it can look like a lot of money up front but what you can accomplish with all this product and how long they will last is incredible i love clean classy no bs very best and high end style of detailing by obsessed garage great job matty
I followed all of the Esoteric videos for the paint correction on the GT3 RS and ended up purchasing small amounts of both of the polishes. I can tell you that Jescar Correcting Compound with those microfiber pads is the tits! Now I have 20 bottles of CRAP sitting in a cabinet that I need to pitch. That package you are showing there has enough polish and pads to allow non-stop paint correction. I owe ya Matt!
Package price is fair...Those Rupes 5 inch pads alone here in Canada are $20 each,$13 or so for the 4 inch...And we get to pay 15% sales tax on top of that. Great videos as always..You have given me a new appreciation for car care and I have learned a lot..Thanks.
Hey Matt, can you do a video explaining the advantages and disadvantages of a polish with “fillers” and what effect it has on the paint short and long term. Do fillers wash out over time? I am confused by the whole subject. Thanks for all the videos.
All polishes fill to some extent. That's why we would wipe the panel after compounding to make sure we are removing most of it. What I'm getting at in this video is I think most people are overly concerned with fillers. It is subject we talk about to sound smart. There are a few that are intended to fill like CarPro Essence, but most happen through oil in the polish. I don't think it's something we need to be concerned about.
My concern was, if we are polishing a car to get defects out. Will a polish/ compound with fillers hide the defect as I am polishing only to be revealed a couple weeks later. In my mind (as small as it is ) I want to get the defects corrected not hidden. Having said that I am not sure if what I am thinking is correct.
Nice talking with you at Detail Fest. Jescar Correcting Compound and Sonax Perfect Finish are the way to go for the 2 step....keep up the great work Matt!
@@ObsessedGarage Thanks. By the way what do you I need to do to get in the giveaway of the 2000 Civic Is? I used to owed a 2000 electro blue for 11 year.
Matt, for those without an air compressor to constantly blow out the MF pads, would you recommend a brush used to help clean up the pads between passes and re-seasoning of the pads?
Thanks Matt, gonna finally purchase the best products for polishing. Been having lots of trial and error lately by testing new products. One question how would you clean MF pads?
Had a question . I have a big truck, are you going to ever research a brush of some kind . I can’t reach the top . A great wash mit with a pole system would be great. Something of good quality ! Thanks a bunch ! Keep up the awesome videos !
Obsessed Garage one more question what to you use to wipe down the interior of your cars . Like the dash and the door panels ? Ps. So excited to get my order from you !
That's a tough one. It would depend on how many cars you had and how much polish you used. My guess is this would be good for about 25 cars worth of polish. Pads as well is you take care of them. Eraser would probably be about 10 cars or so. Tape would do about 5 or 6.
I think they are good for those that are looking for a complete system. Match up the colors, and you'll get a decent result. But, if you've had some time with other dedicate products like Jescar or Sonax, I think most would prefer those over the RUPES polishes.
Matt the eraser is isopropyl alcohol based correct? Have you ever tried just mixing ISO and water or is eraser that much better? Does it have any other ingredients in it that you know of that makes it stand out over just ISO or Gyeon Prep? I know todd is a big Gyeon fan.
I like Eraser more than Prep. I'm not what's in it, but it's better than both IPA and Prep. Gtechniq's Panel Wipe is another good one that's more aggressive than Eraser if that is needed.
I looked at the MSDS for both. For Prep its benzyl benozate that added. I don't recall for Eraser. However, they are both very minor amounts of soap. For Prep it was like 1 percent.
Just curious, in some recent videos with Jason Killmer/KXK Dynamics, you had used Sonax and Jescar, and then Meguiars. It seemed you liked Meguiars better on the overall process. But it seems you are staying loyal to the Sonax and Jescar brand. Is there a reason why? .
They are big Meguiar's guys. I still think the diminishing Jescar/Sonax combo looks better and is certainly easier to use. If I have a choice with both on the shelf. I'm picking Jescar bottle up first, no question.
not sure if you will see this but i am getting into detailing. i have the wash and decon steps down i feel. i am currently getting a lot of customer inquiries about paint corrections and have mild experience in the category just not the equipment. i will most likely be making this purchase. i hope any kind of profit you make from it allows you to continue to make these videos where you give us for free the one thing we can’t buy as skill based workers-experience. Thanks so much i really appreciate it and we all do🖤🖤🖤
Yeah man. I'd suggest contacting the guys at Esoteric to go and take their course on paint correction. You'll make tons of money if you really get into it.
I think so. These types of products like Eraser, Prep from Gyeon, and Panel Wipe from Gtnecniq are better than just IPA. Less grabby, smell great, and work really well.
I'll be first in line for one, you can send me one to try out.. HAHA. I have POW, USA, BLUE LINE, etc flags all hanging in my shop I built in 2017. I will keep an eye out for when you do!
They cut and finish very similarly, but Perfect Finish dust less and give a depth that M205 doesn't have. Even after wipe down. It depends on what you prefer. M205 makes the paint look much lighter.
CATEGORY 7 If you want to save money you can probably half the pads and you probably don’t have a 3 in polisher so you don’t need the 3 in pads. Do an IPA wipe instead of eraser. Use painters tape. You probably just cut out a large chunk of the package cost. Then in the future you can upgrade it as you progress in polishing.
You know how I'm always talking about honoring the source? I buy things from companies that provide me value. In absence of that, I'd just go look for a better price. Here is how business works. I buy stuff at a discount from retail. The reason I get that pricing is because I must buy it in bulk. Buying quantities of product carries risk. Then I have to pay to ship it to me. I may not be able to sell it and have money tied up in inventory that may or may not move. Then there is labor, web design, hosting, credit card processing, tax, insurance, facility costs, etc., etc. that must be paid. Customers only care about all the expense because quality customers want the businesses where they have a relationship to be in business tomorrow. If a business is to stay afloat, there must be a profit. Retailers that buy this same stuff that I'm buying do very, very little to provide any value. They simple put a link and the description off the back of the bottle and a few stock photos. Then they play a game of racing to zero just to stay afloat. This months gross revenue pays for next month's inventory. So they get in a game of hiring lots of employees, gaining lots of warehouse space, and hoping to someday sell the business to some larger company dumb enough to pay for a company that makes very little money. I'd rather to those that value the effort. They don't complain or return things. The people that are buying from me know they could go get the next 20% off labor day sale, but they would rather support the source for a fair price. I'm not gouging anyone. My simple ask is that you pay the retail price of the product. Giving away pads and polish is the race to zero. Zero means no business. I want to be in business. I like doing this stuff.
Even though these products are amazing i wouldn't recommend them to a guy/girl that's on a budget Get some griots boss correcting creams line and some microfiber cutting pads and some nice rupes polishing pads. Also just get some IPA for wipe-downs or a multi step process just trying to help the people that can't afford this stuff quite yet and are working on 'real' nasty bad cars. This is more of a luxury polishing gt3's all day. Lot of detail products can be way to pricey and will do the same stuff with out breaking the bank.
Man I love Matt's parents, the way everything comes packaged no leaks whatsoever. Big companies gotta learn how to do it especially when you're buying expensive products. Thanks Matt
They are killing it. Just wait until I get them shipping for OGHQ, and we have all the resources we need!

I'm going to do that with Tavarish's jacked up Gallardo when he gets it running.
Can’t wait for that! Going to be several different paints on that thing when it’s done.

Edward Argeroplos fillers is for quick fix, and yes they will wash out showing the defects.

Edward Argeroplos that is where eraser comes in. After you make a pass wipe with eraser and it will reveal if you need more correcting or move on.
Lighting package? Now you’ve got my attention
Nice talking with you at Detail Fest. Jescar Correcting Compound and Sonax Perfect Finish are the way to go for the 2 step....keep up the great work Matt!
Thanks Jon.
Funny how all those pad options I’ve tired and I always go back to micro fibre and yellow rules.....
How many yellow pads do you I need do do a whole car? Do I use one yellow pad for panel ?
I use 6 to 8.
@@ObsessedGarage Thanks. By the way what do you I need to do to get in the giveaway of the 2000 Civic Is? I used to owed a 2000 electro blue for 11 year.
Matt, for those without an air compressor to constantly blow out the MF pads, would you recommend a brush used to help clean up the pads between passes and re-seasoning of the pads?
singletrackftw Rupes Claw Tool is great
I would use a vacuum set-up to blow.
Do you have a go to pick for a compound with non diminishing abrasives?
M100, but that stuff is aggressive.
What would you use after Sonax Perfect finish?
This will finish, so you would go right to your protection. I like Jescar Powerlock+ topped with Collinite 845.
Thanks Matt, gonna finally purchase the best products for polishing. Been having lots of trial and error lately by testing new products. One question how would you clean MF pads?
I wash them in the sink with Optimum APC.
Had a question . I have a big truck, are you going to ever research a brush of some kind . I can’t reach the top . A great wash mit with a pole system would be great. Something of good quality ! Thanks a bunch ! Keep up the awesome videos !
Codyw Vlogs Microfiber Madness Incredipole. It’s the same wash mitt he sells just on a pole.

why dont you include a rupes light in the package?
I don't like that light all that much. I'll be adding Fenix PD 35 2.0 soon.
Obsessed Garage ok awesome! Ill keep an eye out.
Is eraser really worth the extra cost over an IPA wipe? I see the value in everything else just getting hung up on this.
I think so. These types of products like Eraser, Prep from Gyeon, and Panel Wipe from Gtnecniq are better than just IPA. Less grabby, smell great, and work really well.
Ever think of having a OG shop flag? I Would like to hang one in my shop
That would be cool. I have so many ideas of great stuff we can do. One thing at a time...
