It was a blast hanging out and talking about products and tools with you Matt. I look forward to integrating various aspects of your Master Collection into my current workflow. It’s still miserable winter here, but Spring should be right around the corner.
So glad to see the two of you collaborating. Two of my favorite you-tubers, in addition to Jason at Chicago Auto Pros and Jim White with White Details. I am loving this series!
Cool to see both of you chat about all these topics. Very suprised both of you have not tried the Labocosmetica compounds and polishes. The maniac wheel and tire is clutch, Matt certainly needs to try this stuff. Don't sleep on this Matty.
I've sourced the bucket package parts separately from Canadian suppliers and the price came down very similar to OG in the end. The dollies come with smaller casters, so if you want the better casters that come with the OG kit, it's another separate extra. People also forget the time it takes to research all of these parts. Time is money.
A spray bottle I haven't seen you talk about is the bottle Turtle Wax uses that is a mist sprayer. They use this bottle with their Streak-Free Mist Interior Detailer Spray. I havn't been able to find one for resale anywhere. I reused this sprayer and put in P & S Swift. This bottle works so good!
Appreciate how OG is geared and mainly focused on the smaller or diy’er type detailers. It’s good to see things from this pov. Wondering if there is a way to adjust and remove items from this “master collection” in the online store?
The bad part about Sandro is his availability in Australia to newer products, but there again he's similar to Rick in that his technique is flawless, and second to none on product/pad combo
Hey Matt, Rick, I've had good luck with Nanolex Ultra Glass sealant. Doesn't change the appearance of the glass. It's been on since 10,000 miles and through Canadian winter, still repels water like day 1. They claim 18,000 miles durability. I'm obsessed with not using wipers as well, but the girlfriend takes the car about half the time and it definitely sees some wiper action.
I do like my Lake Country Pad Washer 4000. It took me a bit to pony up for one. I have multiple pads, but I clean the pad and put it aside and grab a clean one. I do a lot of greasy and nasty work. I find Scrub Ninjas from Autofiber as a vital tool to clean the interior. Gentle but effective on vinyl and plastic interior parts. Also work well on fabric. I would like to see you try Dr. Beasley's Nano Surface Primer System. I have bought the kit and tried it on a fender of a beater truck I just got rid of. I used CarPro's SiC coating on top. The claim made is that 8 oz tube is equivalent to a 32 oz bottle. Also removes the need for a panel prep, since it is a coating primer. I like watching EC Details channel, too. Since he tends to have a similar weather pattern as I do. Maybe, you should do this with EC, he tests a lot of products also.
EC Details (Eddie) is a good dude and I could see him and Matt having an entertaining conversation, but Joey Balinski would probably need to sit that one out. I like him, but Joey seems to have a severe case of MMDS (Matt Moreman Derangement Syndrome). He seems to get visibly angry every time OG or Matt gets brought up. It's unfortunate, as I think he's missing out.
Glad you brought up sprayers and spray bottles. It seems that I can't find a good all durable spray bottle and sprayer tip. Speaking of wool pads check.out the new line.up at Buff and Shine
Check out the new Rupes intermediate (teal color) pad. Just tried it since it was included in my HLR15 kit and I'm very impressed. I used it with their fine polish and the gloss was wild. I don't love the idea of adding another freaking pad but I might be a convert.
For glass: I've been using Apex Surface protection BC5 topped with BC4 and couldn't be happier. It seems to last forever, especially on my wife's Lexus that has automatic wipers that go crazy. I'm not sure why you guys are saying there's no good glass coatings. I'm in Pennsylvania, it's not Canada, but we get a good mix of all weather. This Apex stuff is amazing
Glass is an odd surface. Once it gets exposed to an enormous amount of abuse, you can't get it back to "like new". Soft99 has replaced other products I've been using. There is no magic beans and fairydust. If one product works on a particular piece of glass, just about everything will and vice versa.
Just tried ADS Shampoo+ and Amplify. Shampoo+ is great, like it better than GSF, super smooth and rinses clean. Amplify gives a good gloss and doesn’t streak but it doesn’t add much slickness.
Do you already have an insanely slick surface? AMPLIFY definitely adds a ton of slickness, that’s why it’s so popular. Try using a bit more if you used it as a drying aid, or use it dry. It will add very good slickness.
Adam's Graphene Glass Coating is the real deal. 20k miles, over a year of use, Northern Illinois winters, on the wife's car. Still acts like the day I put it on. Easy to apply. It's legit.
I completely understand your and Rick's preference for traditional soap washing, but I think both of you might be missing the fundamental aspect of true rinseless washing...a pressure washer to do all of the same steps prior to the contact wash when required/desired. I believe you're looking at it from the standpoint of waterless washing, where you don't have a hose available. Yes, a rinseless wash can sometimes be done safely without free flowing water, but that is generally only on a lightly dirty vehicle. No one would ever look at the conditions that Rick's vehicle sees and honestly suggest he should do a rinseless wash without a pressure washer. With a very dirty vehicle, I look at rinseless as a "soap replacement" for the contact wash stage only. All of the prewash steps are still done with the appropriate prewash chemicals and a pressure washer. Wheels get washed the same way as you guys do, and all the cracks and crevices get blown out just the same. Now you might say, "what's the point, you have everything out anyways, why not just use soap?" In the warmer months, I sometimes do. But I always get full of suds when I'm up on a step to get the roof of my SUV, and I'm always rushing/stressing because I have hard water and little to no shade. And then with winter making bucket washing outside impossible/unpleasant for 6 months of the year... rinseless has been key for me. For the reasons mentioned above, I do most of my washing in the garage. I don't have the floor drain system that Rick does (at least not yet), and I don't have A/C or dehumidification like Matt...so I like to minimize how much water I'm using inside the garage. I generally do the wheels and fender wells first with the pressure washer. That amount of water in the garage is no big deal, even during the winter. Then I pull the car out into the driveway for a snow foam prewash and full pressure washing. In the winter, with my southern exposure and hot water supply to the wall mount pressure washer in the heated garage, as long as it is sunny and above 10F I can do it safely without creating a skating rink. If it's extra cold outside, I will apply diluted APC or Touch-Less type product with a pump sprayer and pressure wash inside if I have to. When the prewash stage is done, I have a mostly clean vehicle that is ready for a safe contact wash with a bucket of rinseless, and finish up with a drying towel. In the summer, I finish my prewash stage by applying rinseless with a foam cannon and then backing my vehicle back into the shade of the garage. This "neutralizes" any hard water on the surface and buys me time so I don't have to rush and stress to avoid hard water spots. Even if I do a soap wash, I still spray it down with rinseless afterwards and dry in the garage. This gives me the safety of drying with the lubrication of rinseless, without masking my coating with SIO2 drying aids/toppers. I like to leave my coatings to do their job, and see how they are performing without putting an inferior form of protection on top that doesn't have the same hydrophobics or self cleaning properties. Again, this method isn't going to be for everyone...but it has been perfect for me in my situation. I just get a little fired up when people dismiss it out of hand without understanding that you can still use a pressure washer and do a true/safe rinseless wash.
Rinseless is almost a cult like thing, its become about who can spend the least amount of money and be done the quickest..these people clearly dont enjoy it or they run a business where they cut corners.
I don't understand the confusion with rinseless. The entire wash process can be the same as standard soap: wheels, touchless, pressure wash, presoak with rinseless; but where the time saving comes in is no second foam, no two buckets, no rinse of soap. You're getting 99% of dirt off a coated car with Touchless such that a rinseless contact wash is more than enough. And you're cutting out steps
People just like the visual comfort that soap gives. It’s not worth the fight cousin. Im totally with you on this, I prefer rinseless to cut down on the excess foam runoff that pisses the neighbors off.
@@Stainlessautos it just saves so much time. Granted the process I outlined applies best to coated cars where Touchless will quite literally remove 99% of dirt. I go around with one microfiber soaked in ONR after Touchless is rinsed and it's barely dirty. This is in the middle of winter with salt and all the other crap on the roads.
@@motiOn732 I kinda get it. But the gunk that builds behind body cladding, emblems, glass surrounds, wheel barrels and grills, needs a level of attention, that gets omitted with touchless. For me, the effort required isn't as important as the result I'm looking for. Using gallons of water isn't a luxury. It's part of my process.
I know you’re not going to like this Matt, but surely give a try to the Diamond Protech Glass Coating. Been on my daily for about a year and still going strong.
@@ObsessedGarageI think you're going to like it. Super easy install, it disappears into the glass and there is practically nothing to wipe off. Has been holding up well, even to my wife's excessive wiper usage. Reinstall is very simple too. Just make sure you use the Diamond Glass Prep spray, it's very specific to that coating, there's actually some nano diamonds in the prep spray. I really like it and will continue to use it, but I'm also going to try CCI Glass. It's a $150 coating, but lasts 2+ years even on windshields. Very easy install on that one too. You can either wipe it off after 15 minutes, or 12 hours. It also pretty much disappears down into the glass.
Several redundancies in this master collection. No one needs 3 different 15mm da polishers or 3-4 different cutting compounds, 2 different ph neutral soaps, 2 panel wipes of all things. Your/OG Master Collection should 1 product for that particular category that OG believes to be the best.
It was a blast hanging out and talking about products and tools with you Matt. I look forward to integrating various aspects of your Master Collection into my current workflow. It’s still miserable winter here, but Spring should be right around the corner.
Amazing conversations. Rick is an absolute humble gem.
So glad to see the two of you collaborating. Two of my favorite you-tubers, in addition to Jason at Chicago Auto Pros and Jim White with White Details. I am loving this series!
And don't forget about Pan!
I am honoured that anyone cares about my opinion!
Rick makes the absolute BEST content available. Hands down. His filming/editing is second to NONE.
That’s very nice of you to say. I’m looking forward to some new content very soon.
@@RADGarage 😎😎👍
@@RICARD01 Totally agree. Rick is the best.
Really enjoying this series. Love that the 1st two episodes are with fellow Canadians! 🇨🇦

I do the same with Griots bottles
I believe that is a patented bottle called Flairisol. It’s a replacement for an aerosol can. I’m not sure if they sell empties.
Damn... the Lz project gave nice subs. Soon will 1mil. Keep pumping content
"I gotta figure out who this Pan guy is..." hahah. Great episode, thanks guys!

You should look to see if you can get Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing on this series MM. He’s a gun.
Sandro is an absolute master of the craft
Agreed, I feel like that could be a super interesting episode
The bad part about Sandro is his availability in Australia to newer products, but there again he's similar to Rick in that his technique is flawless, and second to none on product/pad combo
This is my element, so much OCD satisfaction.

Good suggestion. I'll buy a bottle.
@@ObsessedGarage also a custom boot cover for the OG spec spray gun. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! Us peasants working on cement driveways will thank you.
I REALLY hope Mirka would make a 15”. The 3” is absolutely everything Matt says it is. Yes, it’s stupid expensive, but worth it.
The RUPES HLR15 is amazing, infinitely better than Milwaukee.
Rick mentioned that Pan hadn't suggested a tyre dressing. He usually recommends Carpro Darkside.
I prefer Black for wheels, blue for wash and white for rinse. That's how i have my buckets set up
I've been looking at trying Glaco Glass Compound Roll On and Glaco Ultra Glaco for a window coating.
Speaking of work lights... what about the light that universally mounts to a polisher? That seems to be a simple solution. Buff Brite Flamethrower II.
Larry doesn’t use meguiars anymore because he has his own polish, but the point you made still stands.

2 halves, bolt together with allen bolts.

Thanks brother! It’s fun but also a bit intimidating talking about products with a guy like Matt who is truly obsessed.
Nice glasses
I like that he wets his pads. I'm thinking of doing that also.
"who is this pan? you've mentioned this guy a few times" didn't they live stream and collab a few times on each others' channel?
It was my piss-poor attempt at sarcasm.
