Short video to show the evolution of my garage to detailing studio. Hope you like it. Music: "Better Days" by Lakey Inspired www.soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired
I just noticed you credited me with inspiring you. Just letting you know the feeling is mutual. I absolutely love your garage. I hope you are enjoying it in good health and spirits! 🤘
Thanks for the feedback. You are 100% correct on the functionality. Everything is within grabbing distance. I did install a wash bay curtain to separate the single car side. Now I don’t get my car wet when washing inside. I have pics of that on Instagram. Have a great day!
Just a thought, get rid of the garage door openers, take down the tracks, and put in a Jack Shaft opener. Very quiet, and opens up a bunch of headroom when door is open.
Funny you should mention that... I am in the process of finding my first supercar and I may try to install a lift so I can stack my new car on top and keep the daily driver down low. Only bad thing is ceiling is 9ft.. supercar is just under 48” tall. Gotta do some math to see if it will work or it will be time to raise the ceiling. Thanks for the feedback.
Hey love it love it love it. Just bought new house yesterday. Garage is a clean slate. I am big fan of OG, Rick@RAD and Pan. Questions- sooo many questions? You dropped in a mop sink/ washer but i did not see on the video the outgoing drains.? The deion water system from where? How long whole process and most importantly- Anything you do differently now? Thx for any info you could give. 🙏👍
Gotta love a blank slate... I assume you are asking about the floor drains... I did not put in a floor drain. I did a lot of water flow testing on the existing floor to see where the water went when I soaked the floor. fortunately for me the water flowed directly out the doors. I did find one small low spot right next to my mop sink but the water evaporates within 12 hours so it was not a standing water concern. The Swisstrax flooring is designed to allow the water to flow freely so no issues with the flooring holding up water. The Pressure washer system with DI tanks came from @obsessedgarage. I did do my own piping instead of the aluminum piping OG sells. My research showed that DI water and aluminum is not a good long term relationship. It took me about 5-6 months (during covid) to complete the garage. I think installing a mop sink was one of the best things I did... I love the flexibility of using the sink. I also love the Washer/Dryer combo unit for washing towels... it runs on 110 and doesn't need to be vented. takes about 2 hours to do a load (washes and dries in same unit). The wash curtain that I put in the garage is a no-brainer... it was only $390 and sections off my garage so when I am slinging water on the 2 car side... the car sitting in the single side doesn't get wet. I did have a mini split (with ceiling cassette) installed so it is heated and cooled... makes it nice when we get the extreme Indiana weather. I love talking about my garage and would love to help you out in anyway I can.... Let me know if you have anymore questions or concerns. Thanks for the feedback.
How long is that vacuum hose? I want a longer one for my Ridgid 4-gallon but didn't want the expense of getting a reel. The little garden hose holder you're using appears to work well enough.
@@ashdash3833 my garage has enough slope where it all drains naturally to the big doors. Plus I have AC in garage so the moisture is never there for more than a few hours. Not sure how much a floor drain would cost.
Thanks for the compliment... Not sure what you are referring to... "blue chargers"?? Let me know a little more details and I will definitely provide you an answer. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@prophinishnyc31 gotcha... sorry. Those are the Kobalt battery chargers for all of my Kobalt tools (drill, saw, grinder, etc..). I purchased all tools and chargers at Lowe's.
When I built the "water wall" I used OSB instead of drywall that way I didn't have to worry about finding studs when I mounted most of the items. So basically I just used wood screws. Hope that helps.
I got the pex piping and the Shark Bite elbows, valves and Tees from Home Depot online. Wasn’t very expensive at all and I personally think it looks good. Hope that helps.
I did get the spotless from OG. I did not get the piping he recommended. I used some blue pvc and shark bite fittings from Home Depot (online). Works great and was less than $125. I did some research and found that aluminum piping does not play well with deionized water.
@@opticallycorrectdetails thanks for the reply. I’ll do some research on pex pipe. What are you thoughts on the swisstrax? Did you get their tile cutter or did you just rent 1 at Home Depot? Did you seal the concrete floor before you added the titles?
@@lmSteveo did not seal the garage floor. I did verify that the floor was properly sloped and drains out the doors for the most part. From my experience the biggest tile cutter you can rent is 12” wide and that’s too small for the Swisstrax. I used my battery powered 3” skill saw to cut the tiles. It kind of melts the cut edge but it pulls right off and gives you a pretty good straight edge. The tile cutter OG has is over $700.
@@opticallycorrectdetails I might take the same route. Way to much to make a few cuts. Are you using pex wire for your spotless or just CTS pvc? Thanks

Amazing transformation and thank you for sharing ;-)
Pretty sick set up and shoutout to another OG member
giving big heart to this transformation and wishing one day can build my garage like this.
Thanks for the feedback… keep chasing that dream and it will happen.
Bro, Cowboys and Cardinals!?! never thought I'd meet someone that likes the same 2 as me!
Beautiful! Congrats! Loos awesome!!
Thank you!
You did an awesome job bro! The attention to detail is spot on and looks like a awesome place to get it done!!
Thanks for the kind words. It’s my version of a man cave. Lol.
Best of luck my friend 👍👍
Super clean setup. Sweet
Thank you!
Awesome setup!!! I have been building my shop and am hoping for something along these lines. Thanks for sharing!
It was a fun process and I thoroughly enjoy hanging out in the garage. I got a lot of my inspiration from #RADGarage and #obsessedgarage.
I’m a detailer but clicked for the Cowboys gear 👍👍👍💙
Love the setup!!!
Thank you!
That garage looks so sweet I like the cutomized you put on it im amazed
Thank you!
Great work! I really like the design and it looks very functional

Nice set up. Love the colour scheme
Thank you. I appreciate the comment.
Nice car cleaning space.
Thank you.
Nice 👍 good luck

Love the garage but go 🦅 😁

Nice detailing garage - May I ask what kind of wall covering that is?

Just curious what piping system is the with your rinseless system?
How long is that vacuum hose? I want a longer one for my Ridgid 4-gallon but didn't want the expense of getting a reel. The little garden hose holder you're using appears to work well enough.
Home Depot… Cen-Tec systems. 50 ft hose, attachments and wall mount hose holder. $66
This looks amazing! I didn't see a drain in your concrete floor...do you have a drain?
No drain. Verified all water naturally flows to doors. So far no issues with mold or stagnant water smell. AC unit helps remove moisture too.
im too old for this shit cant even clean my windshield 🤣
Lol
This garage is BEAUTIFUL! Can you tell us how much something like this would cost?
When it was all said and done I think it was around $26,000. That includes re-wiring installing FRP on walls and everything for detailing.
@@opticallycorrectdetails Did you install a floor drain? If not, do you know the cost for that?
@@ashdash3833 my garage has enough slope where it all drains naturally to the big doors. Plus I have AC in garage so the moisture is never there for more than a few hours. Not sure how much a floor drain would cost.
Looks fantastic! Do you wash cars inside or outside?
Thank you! I wash them mostly inside, outside if the weather is good.
Nice set up bro but if you don’t mind where did you get those blue chargers from
Thanks for the compliment... Not sure what you are referring to... "blue chargers"?? Let me know a little more details and I will definitely provide you an answer. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@opticallycorrectdetails the chargers for the batteries
@@prophinishnyc31 gotcha... sorry. Those are the Kobalt battery chargers for all of my Kobalt tools (drill, saw, grinder, etc..). I purchased all tools and chargers at Lowe's.
How did u mount the adams polishes bottle holders ?
When I built the "water wall" I used OSB instead of drywall that way I didn't have to worry about finding studs when I mounted most of the items. So basically I just used wood screws. Hope that helps.
What brand is the piping for the pressure washer setup?
I got the pex piping and the Shark Bite elbows, valves and Tees from Home Depot online. Wasn’t very expensive at all and I personally think it looks good. Hope that helps.
Do you work out of this shop still? It looks like an amazing setup.
Yes… I just detail on the side as a hobby. It is very functional for whatever I need to do. Thanks for the compliment.
What was the approximate spend for the total job? Thinking about a similar set up.
Not sure exactly but it was close to $25,000 I think. That didn’t include the mini split.
Where does the water drain
Naturally flows to big doors. AC unit also helps to pull out moisture. Floor is pretty dry within 12 hrs.
Lol. Financial approval: Wife.
do you have floor drain in garage?
No floor drain and so far no problems with odor or standing water. My floor is sloped pretty good to drain out the doors.
Did you get your spotless from OG? Do you know if that’s prevost piping for your system?
I did get the spotless from OG. I did not get the piping he recommended. I used some blue pvc and shark bite fittings from Home Depot (online). Works great and was less than $125. I did some research and found that aluminum piping does not play well with deionized water.

how mutch was this studio?
I think I have about 25,000 - $30,000 in it.
Hey what are the dimensions of the garage.?
Roughly 24x36.
@@opticallycorrectdetails 24 wide im guessing correct?
@@joshuafranzke2724 actually 24 deep and 36 wide.
