I have been loving the remodeling projects, but it’s also good to see some new garage related content! Would love to see more videos of tools soon. Either way I’m here!
Thanks for sharing this with us and giving us a look at your process. I totally understand that your process is mainly suited and geared towards personal/leisure use of garage. Any possibility to do a collaboration video with a professional detailer of your choice so they can share what their process looks like? Might be interesting to see the differences for personal/professional garages.
@@timkinley1779 there are some who do but not everyone who details professionally would also want to run a retail supply store for detailing or garage products.
@@StewPedasoe I don’t know how long you’ve been following Matt, but watching and listening to all his ideas about what works and what doesn’t over the past 5ish years have given me great respect for what he finds works! Watching Matt work through detailing, house, and life ventures I feel brings a lot to the table. That’s why I think Matt vision is easy to follow. I could be completely wrong
@@brian2359 oh, okay I hear you now. I can agree with what you said as I also feel all of us should try to follow this sort of method and test/try things out ourselves too and see what are the things we like/don’t like.
Hey Matt, have you ever thought about offering an option to get the items you get in the next option if you wanted to upgrade? What I mean is let's say I bought the beginning package but now want to move up to the master, can I buy only the things that are not in the beginning package?
just my opinion, just because I like the rustic look just as much as modern. Wood grain flooring be cool for wash bay. The little bit of experimenting with Dr. Beasley's NSPs, seems like a viable option for polishing. I am hoping Rupes surprises me with an iBrid rotary at the next SEMA event.
Apparently RUPES made some tweaks to the structure and internals of the cordless 3" polisher for 2024. Still not going to be as smooth/quiet as the Mirka, but should be a noticeable improvement. I have the Flex which is filling my cordless 3" needs for now, but I'm going to see if Mirka finds a way to implement a trigger lock before deciding between it and the RUPES.
Since you will be doing some polishing in the garage and potentially without a compressor, have you considered using a Lake Country pad washer? I recently added one and it greatly sped up and improved my polishing process. I was able to compound/polish my entire X5 with 1-2 pads of each type/size and got more consistent results because the pads were always clean and cool. I can't imagine polishing a car now without one.
@@timkinley1779 of course, but I don't think he's indicated yet what he plans to do. I have a compressor too (and have blown out pads for many vehicles at this point) but after making the transition to a pad washer I'll never blow out a pad again.
i agree sio2 definitely ruins the water absorption of towels over time honestly the polish and compound department is pretty hard to list as many people experience different brands for so many various purposes. I don't think it would be worth your time for that department too. Some cars right out the spray booth, 200k miles, or 0 miles all have different experiences and steps. depending on humidity and temp many products can/can not be used other than that, the rest look fantastic as you include the machines/tools best in your garage for the best quality of life correction process
You seem a lot like me and use the kiss method (keep it simple stupid) keep up the good work! You can go crazy with products with all the choice out there so it’s good to see someone only have things that have a purpose and not just have it to have it
Resist the urge buy/try out products you aren't familiar with. Let Matt do the heavy lifting. I see a bunch of goofy, off-the-shelf, dusty, auto parts products in people's garages and see a trash can in the corner, I usually suggest a marriage between the two. Some people like cabinets full of whatever. I like seeing more shelf.
@@timkinley1779not sure I can agree with you on this. If we don’t test or try out products we aren’t familiar with how else are we going to know whether or not we will like it or how it will fit in with our process? Just because one person likes something doesn’t mean you will also like it. Know what I mean?
Would be interested to hear if you see value in adding some intelligence to the website that makes it easier for users to track their progression/inventory. It would be cool to have products and packages know how they relate to one another. You could then overlay that with a users purchase history to suggest missing products/upgrades, keep personal inventory, and allow for quick restocking when you finish that gallon or a towel gets to end of life.
In retail, 30% net profit margin is high. Companies with a profit margin of 20% generally show strong financial health. Again, for retail, not professional services where margins would be north of 50%. I'd say get those down to make the overall costs more affordable to a larger customer base, especially during current times with interest rates at an all time high with no signs of coming down soon with inflation still in the high 3's.
This is what living beyond reasonable means looks like, the epitome. Congratulations, none of you will ever achieve this, and this guy is here to make sure you know that..
G'day Matt,I'm interested in the "Koken Japan" tools that you purchased. In" Obsessed Garage fashion. One of everything ❤️ 😅. I own a few koken sockets . They are a favourite of mine. Including Stahlwille flexi double end spanners and old Sidchrome Australia. Luv ya vid Matt. Keep it up mate 👍 Cheers 🍻 from Australia 🇦🇺
The good, better, best model is well proven and you can give different levels for the obsessed to choose from.

We need black buckets !!!
Amen!
On the website it would be great if each product had a video of you explaining the product and demoing it.
Congrats on 600k, well deserved
Thanks for sharing the process. Waiting on my order of a few t-shirts. Can’t wait
You guys make the best t-shirts!
I wear an OG shirt everyday
Looking forward to this one!

No other professional detailer has this assortment of products.
@@timkinley1779 there are some who do but not everyone who details professionally would also want to run a retail supply store for detailing or garage products.
I like that matt doesn't buy an entire brand's catalogue and only buys what he wants to sell.
What hoodie are you wearing? Is it OG spec?
I think it is. www.houseofblanks.com/products/relaxed-fit-pullover-hooded-sweatshirt-heather-grey
The yellow pad is the best pad to ever be made on the face of this planet
@13:17 are those Milwaukee packout bins?
No, they are Lista.
I never imagined I would watch a guy count towels in his garage, but here I am 😅
And this is why Matt’s the best!!
You’re saying he’s the best because he knows how to figure out which detailing products he needs to restock and buy?

When will the master collection be up on the website?
For the polishing kit, you should create one with pads/compounds/chemicals only and then have the ability to add entry-mid-master tools to it
Hey Matt, have you ever thought about offering an option to get the items you get in the next option if you wanted to upgrade? What I mean is let's say I bought the beginning package but now want to move up to the master, can I buy only the things that are not in the beginning package?
No. There is no way Matt would sell you items you want, that you don't have. What do you think this is? A retail store or something?
Amazeballs to see the process. Perhaps share the spreadsheet, would be much simpler in planning, no?

What power strip is that in the cabinet ? I like it

Matt has compressors that he can bring home.

You cannot go wrong with having two RUPES BigFoot Claw Pad Tools. One for spreading and the other for pad removal!
Buy the park tool Master kit it would be awesome to see everything even though you would not choose to keep it all.
What do u think of auto fiber wash pad(flat out )
Consider Bilt Hamber Cleanser Fluid /alternative to Eraser- it’s incredible !
What brand of hoodie are you wearing in the video? Looking forward to OG Canada opening, shipping is brutal.

Matt what jeans are you wearing? Are those the new iron hearts?
Good idea. Don't become AutoGeek. When I got into detailing, they were my 1st stop and it was so confusing on what I should buy.
Matt, did you just say your drawers are kept at a minimal? 🤯 02:55
I think my brain is now broken...🤣
Yeah, I think heard that too. He said only the things he needs or he's going to use are in the drawers. Right there I had to pause the video...
@@pace628 Maybe he meant needs for a video...?
Why isn't your brother ADAM in this video?

Seems unnecessary.

Tile doesn't do well with rolling chairs on floors
Think Matt is trying to have more cash flow available and not have it tied up in redundant inventory and only keeping the best of the best.
I wish other youtuber would offer apparel like yours. Not sure why they all need the cheapest and loudest t-shirts they can make.
