- In this video, I'll show you how I coat my Tesla Nerd3 with a layer of protection after decontaminating and correcting the paint. This is by far the easiest part of the process. If you haven't watched the other two episodes, make sure you follow the steps outlined in those prior to doing this for the best results.

Stay tuned for more crazy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
For someone newer into the detailing myself instead of paying for it, your videos and especially your website of products has been SO helpful! This new series was very well done and I greatly appreciate the detailed step by step!! Thanks!!
My 992 is coming in march and i'll be coating it my self based on your video. Your videos are theraputic in a way, and i love it.
Nice job Matt! Your process is effective and will benefit many people I'm sure.
Appreciate the detailed content. I've been watching you and Pan the Organizer as I prepare to detail and coat my wife's Yukon XL. Big truck that I can't mess up!
Loving this series. I'll be ordering my Tesla in March/April. Thanks again for all the great videos. Cheers.
It’s crazy. Just ordered my model y performance. Every time I get a new car. You have already owed it so I got watch all your videos. Zo6. Raptor. Gt350. Now Tesla. Lol. Keep up the great work . And thank you for what you and your team provided for the obsessed community.
Glad to see a back to the basics move but with all the new techniques and technology that's changed in the last 2 years ✌
Great job! Love the product!!!
I had a lot of high spots the last time I coated my vette with csl and exo. I polished them out. There’s a mark on the drivers door. Almost like a smear. It was the worst time I’ve ever had and I’ve coated lots of cars. Lol, figures it happened to my own car. I can’t wait for spring to start washing and keeping the cars nice.
White cars are very hard to wipe coating off of.
Thanks for this video.
I’m so excited to apply this combo to a new jeep soon
Thanks Matt!
It's all about what's make you happy.
Thanks Matt.
I’m buying al this stuff before my car gets delivered. Doing this as soon as possible!!
I’m glad you mentioned not to polish the headlights.
Peeps here in VT aren't caring for their Teslas. Weird, because they care for their Sub Zero kitchens and OLED TVs. Follow Matt, and go full-on geek out! 🤓
Nice video, I’m telling you man you and Tesla Hawaii & Detailing should be friends your both so cool
Just coated a Tesla Model 3 with Ultra serum and Exo today, small world, this popped up on my TH-cam
"whats up tesla nerds" LMFAO
You mentioned “wiper management” and the impact on windshield coatings. I live in the NW so rain is a regular thing. The wiper auto feature on the Tesla SUCKS so constantly messing with the wiper speeds to better “manage” their performance. Any other coating recommendations for heavy wiper use? Or stick with this product and increase frequency?
Really enjoying the videos...thanks!
Cant wait to start this process on my own car, just waiting for the shitty New England weather to clear up
Hey Matt, love the “crazy”! Question I have since I obvious haven’t watched all your videos, yet, why the choice to go with ceramic coat as opposed to earlier colonite wax process? Do you mix it up from car to car? Just curious. Thanks!
Hello, I was wondering if you might do a pressure washer review/ or thought on the Active VE52, I’ve never heard a bad review and want the facts. From what I herd they make pressure washers for CAT and are supposed to be decent.
Thank you for your time
Dan
Matt give me a call. I have a great coating for you to try with better slickness and more forgiving. Good for all panels, windshield etc.
Matt, have you ever experienced (or heard of) issues with coating over a Tesla's cameras and/or sensors and having them not function properly afterwards? I think I know the answer, but just thought I'd ask in case before I screw something up. Thanks for a great series on the Model 3!
No, shouldn't be an issue.
@@ObsessedGarage Thank you!
Have you tried the koch chemie detail spray yet???
Matt, Just watched one of your old videos with RUPES on the pros and cons of ceramic coating. It sounds like keeping the paint in perfect condition can be more difficult in the long run. I'm interested to learn why you decided to coat the Tesla and GT4 if that was the case. Especially the GT4 since you're planning to keep it long term. Wouldn't a sealant be just as effective since you're washing and maintaining the paint as often as you are? Thanks for all of the great videos, will be ordering some gear from your site soon.
Hello, thank you for the video, what is the time frame between coats of csl to exo, and also the two coats of exo, thank you!
I let it sit overnight. EXO I put one on right after the other.
@@ObsessedGarage thank you so much for responding !
Idk if you’ll get to read this or your assistant will respond for you, hopefully you do but 1 I love everything on your website and its a dream to do what you do but what I love most is your pressure washing setup but my 1 pet peeve is that everything is so prefect which is great but what I love most is the pressure washer gun its perfect and I recently bought the MTM SGS-28 Swiveling High Pressure Sprayer and I love it but do you think it would be a good idea to sell the casing just by itself, without the parts to keep the gun looking sexy and perfect I mean don’t judge me and don’t call me broke 😂 but i think you would make a killing off selling the casing by itself because the plastic covering gets banged up overtime and you always talk about the parts are meant to be switched out so then why not sell the casing to by itself for 20$ idk name ur price and shit i would bye 5 of them cause i want to keep it perfect forever. I really think you’ll make a killing from it or just don’t pay attention to what i said but maybe you can ask in one of your videos to your subscribers and if you get a bunch of yeses then idk maybe you’ll add to your income 🤷🏾♂️ you already know ill buy a shit ton of them
But Matt, is it filtered?
If you let CSL sit for 24 hrs exo comes off a lot easier opposed to only waiting 4 hours for CSL
After polish do you find that panel wipe and microfiber removes all leftover polish residue? Asking because I assumed washing after polish to have a clean surface for the coating to bond to was a good idea
Panel wipe will remove all polish residue and oils, washing would increase the odds of scratching and marring.
If you have polish residue, you may not be changing towels and buffing enough. Buff to exhaustion -> cold beer
Can I apply CSL outside , or it must be indoor coating, thanks so much
You can do it anywhere. Outside is fine.
Ok in your opining, for a first time real coating, Adams graphene coating or cqurtz
I meant the gtechniq not cquartz
Definitely Gtechniq.
@@ObsessedGarage Do you prefer the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light over the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra?
Do I have to wait after applying csl to apply exo
3-6 hours
I guess I am a Tesla nerd. Model Y Performance, pearl white satin wrap with Halo coating.
Ha, ha... Yep...Model Y girl car with a wrap. That's pretty much the definition.
Love your channel - How would you wash your car (other than hand-wash, carwash ) as I live in the Northeast area. I have a white Toyota and looking to go to a Tesla for our next daily driver. Thanks for your great tips !
Any other way other than hand washing will result in some type of swirling/scratches. Go look at his wash and talk videos then you'll see that he never uses a drive through car wash.
Handwash is the best. But if you can find a truly touchless automated wash that'll work as well. But handwash is the best way and that's the most affect way
Ira, my winter in VT: I use a good DYI car wash. Never touch their foam brush, ever. 2 min with pressure wash on Soap, get your grit off. 2 min with seperate soap gun, foam the car. Bring your own shaggy mitt, and gently move around foam. Then pressure rinse and dry. Last step, buy the Bead Maker. Go over whole car, dry with a clean "drying agent" towel.
@@ccwnyc5671 Thanks for the great advice!
Hey Matt, would you want to do a series on my black 488? lol definitely needs some tlc.. I’m located in Orlando
Did the coating make the white paint "pop"?
Not really. Most of the gloss comes from polishing.
Would you use CSL + EXO V4 on PPF?
Go with Halo
No, Halo.
What’s that stuff like to work with?
Is it as easy and forgiving as CSL?
Would you then top it off with EXO V4?
Where in the description? I see the products but not the 2 previous uploads from playlist. I must be blind
I'm showing Part One and Two in the description.
@@timkinley1779 I must be going mad because I did not see it there initially and now it is as big as life. Thanks
How long should I Waite to do the second coat of exo?
I wait at least 3 hours.
@@ObsessedGarage thanks
What do you think about adams “7 year” graphene coating?
Ha, ha... All coating longevity claims are nonsense.
Matt, you mentioned at the 18-minute mark something that I have long suspected as true...These coating companies selling 5 - 9 year coatings are full of crap.. A ceramic coated car will still get marked up if it is driven. Good wash practices will help of course but buying a coating and forgetting about it for six years is stupid. Anybody that wants their cars to look nice will polish the car and re-apply their coating of choice...These companies selling misconceptions to the dumb public. What's worse is a professional detailer selling that to a client.
Is there a reason why you dont use kamikaze products anymore matt? They look and seem the real deal...
They are good. Esoteric is the exclusive for them. They have a hard time supplying just one distributor. I also like the slickness of CSL/EXO more.
@@ObsessedGarage ahh fair enough... Im from the uk and had the zipang miyabi sandwich and im really imoressed with it.... And i use overcoat 3.0 as a topper... How do you know when your coating is toast? And needs re-appling?
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
I can speak Hungarian, let me know if you need anything bro! @obsessed garage
Ready for you to customize a spot in Adam LZ's wallet. Long time watcher, remember when the gt350 was yours.
I knew there was a reason why I dont like "shiny" happy people.
Attention viewers: never touch an Armour All product to your vehicles. Go OG. Conditioned, not turkey-basted. 🦃
Why don’t you ever show before and after?
I definitely don’t think I would “enjoy” driving a Tesla but I guess the self driving and all the technology it has would be pretty sweet. Since I can’t drive on the highway without having to pull off on an exit after 10 minutes.
ypu remind me of Jerry Seinfeld"s mechanic....Very demanding of your customers...."""""And I just wanna hear it from you. But I want you to be straight with me. Don't lie to me Jerry. Ya know that SI02 coating you're putting on that paint? From one of those Spray on jobs, isn't it?""" HA HA HA
It is difficult to believe 20ml of anything is going to provide any protection, especially when most of it evaporates or is wiped off
The solvent portion evaporates (as it is designed to do), but nothing is wiped off. It gets leveled. Paint is very porous and jagged on a microscopic level. Coatings fill it in and smooths everything out. It is the best paint protection you can buy, but it isn't bulletproof.
Show the high spots instead of talking about them. And this is not a hair salon where it’s chic to say “Product”. It’s a coating and/or a sealant, call it as such and not “Product”. If it was paint, you’d call it paint. I think you got paid for saying product. How about brands you’d recommend or not. Pricing? Basically spent 40 + minutes watching you wipe down a car and talk about “Product”.
