Just finished polishing my mustang Started at 6am and finished at 6pm.. I am beat.... really puts it into perspective on how much work it really takes. You're a beast! Respect.
Yup, my Civic took me a total of 22 hours over three days to do a full wash, clay, headlight restoration, chip repair, exhaust tip polish, spot wet sanding, compound, polish, and wax. Felt like I ran a marathon by the end of it. So damn sore.
I like the direction your going with this Matt. Smart people like yourself always are willing to analyze and assess areas you can improve. Car looks sick!
Idk about y’all but I like the polishing and all but the wax/sealant is my favorite part of it all! Throwing on a nice wax and watching the shine come out is the best part.
Thanks so much for all your videos over the years. I chuckle a little because I have a friend named Dominic who was always obsessed with cleaning his cars. I made the mistake of saying we should wash cars together. Mine was done in an hour and he did a 4 hour job. Now I see why. I am a bit lazy when it comes to my cars as I’ve only done a decontamination once. I do maintain them well though, with the beadmaker which is amazing. I’m gonna do it again on my newer Jeep. Thanks again for all your advice.
I must tell You, Matt... Powerlock + is nutso slick! It's the easiest product I've ever used. THANK YOU! Detailing a '19 Subaru Forester.. Medium Blue. It was iron x'd, foamed/washed(Reset) Griot's clayed, dried, Perfect finish, Eraser, Power lock +. It's curing now. 845 is next! The freaking paint looks like a mirror and it feels like glass! W O W! THANK YOU!! What a combination!! 😳😎😃
Just finished off a 8 year old bottle of Menzerna Power Lock. I get annoyed by the application of it (especially of the wifes minivan) but the removal and the feeling is just pure happiness. I topped it with Meguiars UFF, we will see how it works out. I am out of Collinite 845, that bottle ran out a while ago (same age as Powerlock bottle). Love the videos.
Last weekend I performed a Jescar power lock + and topped with Ethos ceramic wax the next day, crazy amazing results on a white 2014 RLX hybrid..I am totally pleased!!!!!
Grrr You took my thunder .. I'm getting ready to perform the same procedure On one of my clients brand new black BMW and was trying to be the first one to expose it.
I know I've commented on another of your vids..but man...it's all about hand applied shine. A great shine is not only visual - it's tactile. And not a water hose test in sight...thank you for that. At the end of the day - Carnuba STILL rules.
That's one of the things that puts me off a coating. Once applied you're committed to that LSP for a couple of years. With a sealant or wax you can try other stuff. I like the maintenance!
I saw you for the first time on a video on pan the organizer look you up on TH-cam and like you're video and the way you explained and the love you got of detailing keep up the good work here a fan from Puerto Rico
I just went through compounding and polishing my daily driver Civic Si in Dyno Blue Pearl.. Used Griots Boss creams and it came out great. Now winter will start any day now.. and I just got Powerlock and 845 on in the nick of time. We'll see how the combo holds up to the harsh Minnesota winter. My paint has its flaws but this combination definitely has it looking up to it's full potential... and I can totally relate to that Powerlock wipe off. It's great. I really like the application of the 845 on top as well. So easy with such little product. I only had it sweat on my hood.. but it was because I used too much product there. Other than that no issues. The Bead Maker step sounds interesting. I cant wait until Spring so I can do this all over again. :)
This combination makes no sense to me, but I would enjoy hearing comments and being educated on the following.. 1) If you're the type of person to put wax over sealant, then you're gonna rewax before it's worn down to the sealant. So what's the point of the underlying sealant? And, 2) The underlying sealant only makes the wax more likely to fail more quickly, because that's what sealant is designed to do... prevent things above from bonding. What am I missing?
Im so jealous! I have waited over a year to correct my new car because I don't have an enclosed garage :( I have everything ready to go but still have to wait a month until I get a place with a garage, I just hope the weather stays cool. Not fun detailing in 40C heat
@@ObsessedGarage question: I just polished the car and preparing for the jescar and collinite. Do you recommend I polish the headlights and taillights also before the combo? Just curious thanks.
That blue is my favorite color for a e92 m3. I don’t use Power Lock. But use Collinite 845 and Bead maker, it’s a awesome combo. Maybe I should make a third step in my process.
Same here. I've been using M-Seal for about 7 years with good luck. I just Got Collinte 845 the other day and tried it for the first time last night on top of the M-Seal. Beings my M-seal has about one job left in it, I'm switching to the Jescar as well. I've heard tons of good stuff with that combo :)
You are a genius. I hope you keep the fire burning and dont burnout. If i may ask, how long should it take before i redo the same process to make sure the protection doesnt wear off.
Still in the middle of watching. But, what's an easy way to strip the paint if you don't have a dedicated product like the Eraser you used? Dawn dish soap? Something else?
Great finish, wiping off powerlock is probably best feeling in the world. The hazing on shadow line kidney grille has to be refined with super/ultra finish polish as menzerna 3800 or similiar with ultrasoft pad, i recomend rupes white pad. Those piano black panels are pain in the a** to properly refine.
Is Collinite 845 that semi solid thick or is it because it’s separated and stuff at the bottom I find that when I shake mine to get it mixed up it becomes liquid
Matt, I’ve been told via a detailing forum that the solvent content of Collinite 845 removes the previously applied coat of Powerlock plus, thus making the combo pointless. Is that a load of BS?
Good question. Lots of experts use this combo, and he did state that it lasts longer than just with one or the other. I called Jescar once and ask them about this combo and they didn't tell me about what you said.
Great video, have you tried the Autoglym HD wax over the Powerlock? I have menzerna powerlock, Collinite 845 and the HD wax want to give one of these combos a go
I noticed some imperfections in my paint after I applied this sealant/wax combo....can I just polish those out with a polisher or do I need to strip wash that area then polish and reapply sealant/wax?
I've been looking for a video of a professional detailer applying the sealant/wax combination with a machine buffer. Is there a reason you wouldn't? I thought the idea of the machine polisher is that it saves time and does a better job than can be had with hand application. New to detailing. I'm just doing my car right now, I ordered this combo from Amazon after hearing about how awesome it is and I'm glad to have found videos of someone using it with great results. Look forward to hearing from you, thank you!
For me a polisher is for removing defects, not for applying the protection layer. You introduce greater odd of marring the surface you just corrected using a machine.
Thanks for a great video! What would you recommend for us europeans to use, "Menzerna power lock ultimate protection" or is that an inferior product compared to the one you're using?
Just bought me a new black Dodge Charger. Told the dealer do NOT touch that car, I will do it myself. Did this same combination step by step and Oh My God, this thing shines like crazy! My neighbors kept looking at me like “why is he still cleaning that car?” Now they’re all walking up to me asking what products I use. That Jescar was handmade by God himself.
A month out of a popular sealant? Isn't that pretty bad? My dodojuice supernatural with duragloss aquawax maintenance lasts for months and I was my car like every 3-4 weeks.
Matt are you gonna be trying out Gyeon's Compound and Polish anytime soon? I know you love Sonax and Jescar but I'd be interested in seeing more of the competition!
I'm about to slap these two on my car next weekend. Using Beadmaker as a drying aid is good to use? Also, would reapplying these two every 3-4 months an overkill? I like my car clean and shiny 🤗
There isn't a coating on earth that looks like the car looks now. I don't use detail sprays. I would use Optimum Waterless Washer (Opti-Clean) when needed or traveling. www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/car-washing/products/optimum-opti-clean-waterless-wash
Matt: Have a question for you. I used Jescar Ultimate Power Lock and let it cure. Then applied Collinite 845. WoW!!!!! what a combo. My question is, when it is time to apply the Jescar again, do I have to polish off the 845? or just go ahead and apply the Jescar and then top again with the 845? Thanks in advance.
@@ObsessedGarage I was going to email you or your team, but I'm completely new to detailing and have all these products but haven't polished my car. Is there a hand polish and compounds that you would recommend for total newbies? My paint needs it, as I've never done that step before.
Question for those who want to reapply after the first application 6 months ago. Do I need to strip the existing coating off before re-applying every 4-6 months? Or do I simply wash and reapply the coating? This is based on not needing to paint correct. Just to re apply since product lasts 4-6 months.
Hi Matt, I just want to ask after I apply PL+ how long should it sit on paint before I wipe them? and also how many hours should I wait before I apply Collinite and wipe? thank you
I already washed, clayed and decon my truck but I added some VO7 quick detailer spray. If I were to add some jescar power lock, will it bond to the paint?
How does all this fair again bugs. I too live in Central Florida (not far from Tavarish actually). I'm looking at buying a E93 M3 Covertible and the one I'm looking at needs some work cleaning and detailing wise. This series has been amazing to watch since what I'm planning on buying is very similar to what you've got.
It does really well. Just wash the car, and they will generally wipe off in the washing process. Any that are left over can be wipe the rest of the way in the drying process.
Is there anywhere I can get my hands on the Jescar sealant in the UK? Would like to give It a try but it’s astronomically priced on eBay once shipping and duty from US is factored in 🙁
Just watched your video on jescar and collinite, would like to know if after a few months of protection and I would like to apply wax again is it necessary to apply jescar again before collinite or just collinite alone?
Het Matt, I want to do this combo, but I have a layer of 845 on already - about 2 months old. Do I need to strip everything? (if so would iso be enough, or full DA polish?) Or can I just wash and do PL + 845? cheers
It's not exactly the same, Matt explained it in the beginning of the video. Jescar Powerlock + is tweaked a bit, but it won't be dramatically different from Menzerna Powerlock.
Hi there, love your videos ! How would C 845 hold up in a tropical climate like the Caribbean islands ? Temperature there will go up to 100 °F and it's damp... (It's never as hot & dry as in your southern states) Was also thinking of Finish Kare 1000P for that reason. For the moment I will be using after Sonax spray &seal. I have no garage so the car stays outside, so the curing time of the wax has to be rather short... Would love to know your opinion on that... That's my first time sealing and waxing: brand new white Land Rover ;o)
@@ObsessedGarage Thank you for your kind answer. How would you wax around and inside the big RANGE ROVER letters on the front and back of the car ? Precision work seems impossible anyway with a pad :( does it matter ? Have a great day !
Obsessed Garage sorry. What I mean is the melting point of the protection. Some saying after 140 degrees the caranuba melts off loosing its protection and gloss.
Hi Matt, not sure if you're still receiving message for this video, but wanted to ask anyways. What happens if you don't give the Power Lock the three hours to cure and apply the 845 before then? Thanks and great channel!
Hey Matt have you tried Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint sealant topped with collinite? By itself it looks great and in a low driven left outside in the Puerto Rican weather it lasts for a year without problem in paint and glass. BTW it's expensive just like you like them 😂
Finally the stain in the trunk was unveiled... 😱 Its not a big deal, but it keeps attracting your eye... looks like marriage, you can only remember the bad spots, even through 99% of it was good. 😂 I once had my hood painted, by the tone of it wasn't right, because of the sun ray wear and kept trying to correct it with darker wax layers. That trunk is easy, just remove it and send it to the Maaco shop. 😂 The whole car doesn't have to stay overnight.
@@ObsessedGarage I just applied it, let cure for the 3 hours, hello Collinite 845. I’ll keep you updated on the longevity. I do wash weekly with P&S Pearl soap and use P&S Beadmaker as my topper
I was an idiot and put the two coats of 845 down first today and was going to put power lock down tomorrow. Is it ok to put the power lock over the 845 or do I need to start over?
Just finished polishing my mustang
Started at 6am and finished at 6pm.. I am beat.... really puts it into perspective on how much work it really takes. You're a beast! Respect.
You are absolutely right, it's kind of a dogfight. Having a proper lift helps a lot, no kneeling, crouching for hours etc......
That would definitely help!
Right?! It’s nice to spend a couple hundred or less and do it right, than spend 250 dollars for someone to do a half ass job
looks like rain! lol
Yup, my Civic took me a total of 22 hours over three days to do a full wash, clay, headlight restoration, chip repair, exhaust tip polish, spot wet sanding, compound, polish, and wax. Felt like I ran a marathon by the end of it. So damn sore.
I dont think Ill ever meet anyone who loves their cars as much as you do. The paint work looks phenomenal!

Carbon mirrors, front lip, new wheels 👌🏼 I love this car!
Just removed Jescar from my son’s new used car... I understand the feeling you describe in the video now, simply amazing product.
How you remove it
you put me on the power lock and 845 combo and it never disappoints, might have to try the adams pads.
Do you ever try to apply the Collinite and power lock with a DA or always by hand? Thanks
@@MrGflan which ever method you prefer, personally I prefer using the DA it's quick and you avoid the elbow grease.
How do we subsequently maintain the coat thereafter? Reapply jescar + Collinite or just reapplying Collinite will suffice after 3-6 months?
I used to use power lock with 845 thanks to Matt but I stepped up to collinite 915 with power lock and to me it shine and protects even better
915 doesn't protect better as it's missing the polymer additive, but it has a tiny bit more carnauba.
Really thanks ?
Obsessed Garage looked all over TH-cam for this simple answer on why people don’t use 915, say less thanks Matt! 845 topper it is!
@@ObsessedGarage is it possible to layer together with both 915 and 845?
this is what i offer in my detailing business. it is just works amazing.. so glade to see someone else agrees
Mat looking a little tired, need a sleep sofa in that “ Kings Garage”.
You really make me regret selling my m3. Loving these vids. Keep up the good work
Just got done using this set up on my car and couldn’t be happier. The shine is incredible..Thanks Matt!!

Great Channel!!!!!
Which video would I watch describing what to do after doing maintenance washes for the last 3 months?? Black Infinity QX
Any reason you left the tape on in some places while you did this step? Is the collinite or power lock bad for plastic trim? Looks mint 👌🏻
Matt - Ultra Lock + - the new product.
You are a genius. I hope you keep the fire burning and dont burnout. If i may ask, how long should it take before i redo the same process to make sure the protection doesnt wear off.
Still in the middle of watching. But, what's an easy way to strip the paint if you don't have a dedicated product like the Eraser you used? Dawn dish soap? Something else?
I was waiting for this episode... I guessed wrong, I was expecting a coating and couldn't figure out which one you were going to go with.
Great finish, wiping off powerlock is probably best feeling in the world. The hazing on shadow line kidney grille has to be refined with super/ultra finish polish as menzerna 3800 or similiar with ultrasoft pad, i recomend rupes white pad. Those piano black panels are pain in the a** to properly refine.
They are jacked up and still have deeper scratches. I'll just punt them in the trash and get new ones.
Obsessed Garage seems the easier way to go 😁
Is Collinite 845 that semi solid thick or is it because it’s separated and stuff at the bottom I find that when I shake mine to get it mixed up it becomes liquid
New to the channel, but love the content! Already placed two orders, dreaming about when I can have my own custom garage to work on my cars!
Love your videos! Can you substitute 915 in place of 845? Have a whole canister and the owners stated that the 915 has a better durability than 845.
Yes

I would just wipe down with IPA and polish over it. Those will remove the product.
Obsessed Garage okay great. Thanks for the help.
First, after some time after applying Power Lock, should I apply Collinite 845?
I would recommend it. The combo of those two is pretty awesome.

Menzerna version is just fine. It's not particularly different.

My neighbors kept looking at me like “why is he still cleaning that car?” Now they’re all walking up to me asking what products I use. That Jescar was handmade by God himself.

Just about to put the power lock & collimate on my X3 M40i
Is that a original oem front bumper, i don’t see the headlight washer....or im blinded by its gloss and shiny look..👋🏽
Euro front bumper
Notes:
6:40 Crystal Serum Light
A month out of a popular sealant? Isn't that pretty bad? My dodojuice supernatural with duragloss aquawax maintenance lasts for months and I was my car like every 3-4 weeks.
Is this comparable to Menzerna power lock? I live in EU and Jescar doesn’t exist here.

The difference is amazing but would I get the same pop on an Alpine White paint?
Not quite as dramatic, but it will certainly look good.
How long would I need to wait after applying powerlock and collinite before I added a layer of beadmaker?
I usually wait a week.
Where can I buy an OG 'Pretty Jacked up' shirt?
Ha, ha... I have so many cool shirts I can make.

U so pro man
I'm about to slap these two on my car next weekend. Using Beadmaker as a drying aid is good to use? Also, would reapplying these two every 3-4 months an overkill? I like my car clean and shiny 🤗
I used Bead Maker as drying aid. You can reapply, but only if you don't notice any contamination.
What's that spot on trunk lid? Did you do that polishing or is that just a defect you couldn't get out.
Hey Matt, why do not you use a ceramic coating on your bmw ????? What do you use as quick detailer after washing ????
There isn't a coating on earth that looks like the car looks now. I don't use detail sprays. I would use Optimum Waterless Washer (Opti-Clean) when needed or traveling. www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/car-washing/products/optimum-opti-clean-waterless-wash
Did the semi annual Power Lock/Collinite combo on my car last weekend. Ready for winter!
Dan Pfeifer I was surprised to hear Matt say he thinks power lock is only good for a month.
matt34003434 He said a month if you used Power Lock + by itself. I’ve never used it alone so I can’t comment on that.
Matt: Have a question for you. I used Jescar Ultimate Power Lock and let it cure. Then applied Collinite 845. WoW!!!!! what a combo. My question is, when it is time to apply the Jescar again, do I have to polish off the 845? or just go ahead and apply the Jescar and then top again with the 845? Thanks in advance.
I always decon, light polish, and reapply.

Hi Matt
Could you show the sweating you mention from the Colinite when it appears please?
If it does it, I will. It doesn't always happen, especially since the weather has broken here. It usually does it when it's really hot and sunny.
Question for those who want to reapply after the first application 6 months ago. Do I need to strip the existing coating off before re-applying every 4-6 months? Or do I simply wash and reapply the coating? This is based on not needing to paint correct. Just to re apply since product lasts 4-6 months.
For this, I generally don't reapply. I will decon that car and start fresh.
@@ObsessedGarage thank you !
Looking back Matt, would you do this combo again, or would you coat the M3 like the M5?
Hi Matt, I just want to ask after I apply PL+ how long should it sit on paint before I wipe them? and also how many hours should I wait before I apply Collinite and wipe? thank you
Just wait 15 minutes or so. Then wait 3 hours to put on 845.
I already washed, clayed and decon my truck but I added some VO7 quick detailer spray. If I were to add some jescar power lock, will it bond to the paint?
I would strip it first with my Decon soap and wipe down with Eraser before putting Jescar on.

I have not.
Brother does the collinite 845 seat off after a coat of power lock?

M3E46Z I use menzerna powerlock it’s very similar
Just watched your video on jescar and collinite, would like to know if after a few months of protection and I would like to apply wax again is it necessary to apply jescar again before collinite or just collinite alone?
just collinite
Hey Matt what do you think a better combo is collinite + powerlock or just optimum gloss coat?
I like PL/845 over Gloss Coat.
Do you heat up the collinite at all? Do you apply it more liquid or solid? About how many dots do you put?
I don't heat it up, but some do. You put as little as possible on the pad that will allow it to spread.
Het Matt, I want to do this combo, but I have a layer of 845 on already - about 2 months old. Do I need to strip everything? (if so would iso be enough, or full DA polish?) Or can I just wash and do PL + 845? cheers
It depends. I find that you can just wash and add another layer of 845 if that car feels smooth. Otherwise I would decon and start over.
Is Menzerna power lock the same stuff for those of us that are in UK? Its easier and cheaper to get hold of, will it work just as well?
It's not exactly the same, Matt explained it in the beginning of the video. Jescar Powerlock + is tweaked a bit, but it won't be dramatically different from Menzerna Powerlock.
So you recommend Collinite the. Power lock then Bead maker?
PL, 845, then Beadmaker
Hi there, love your videos ! How would C 845 hold up in a tropical climate like the Caribbean islands ? Temperature there will go up to 100 °F and it's damp... (It's never as hot & dry as in your southern states) Was also thinking of Finish Kare 1000P for that reason. For the moment I will be using after Sonax spray &seal. I have no garage so the car stays outside, so the curing time of the wax has to be rather short... Would love to know your opinion on that... That's my first time sealing and waxing: brand new white Land Rover
;o)
Should be fine. It get's close to that here.
@@ObsessedGarage Thank you for your kind answer. How would you wax around and inside the big RANGE ROVER letters on the front and back of the car ? Precision work seems impossible anyway with a pad :( does it matter ? Have a great day !
@@Ripley.66 Paint brush?
What are your thoughts and opinion on the melting points on a caranuba wax like 845 in hot wether climates ?
Once it's on the car, it doesn't matter much.
Obsessed Garage sorry. What I mean is the melting point of the protection. Some saying after 140 degrees the caranuba melts off loosing its protection and gloss.
How long does jescar really need to cure before applying the collinite? I find 3 hours a bit too long. Also have you tried the ultra lock yet?
I have a bottle, but I haven't used it yet.
Hi Matt, not sure if you're still receiving message for this video, but wanted to ask anyways. What happens if you don't give the Power Lock the three hours to cure and apply the 845 before then? Thanks and great channel!
It will probably still work, but may not last as longer.
Matt an of topic question my 2018 991.2 GT3 is due for an oil change do you use amsoil signature series or European car formula?
I use this one: www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/motor-oil/european/european-car-formula-5w-40-synthetic-motor-oil/
Hey Matt have you tried Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint sealant topped with collinite? By itself it looks great and in a low driven left outside in the Puerto Rican weather it lasts for a year without problem in paint and glass. BTW it's expensive just like you like them 😂
I'm not an Autogeek fan, so I haven't used most of their generic stuff like Wolfgang.
@@ObsessedGarage I know most of the wolfgang line is not good but the sealant and the rinseless wash are some of the best in the market
Damn, the paint was purtyyyyyyyy jacked up before
Finally the stain in the trunk was unveiled... 😱
Its not a big deal, but it keeps attracting your eye... looks like marriage, you can only remember the bad spots, even through 99% of it was good. 😂
I once had my hood painted, by the tone of it wasn't right, because of the sun ray wear and kept trying to correct it with darker wax layers.
That trunk is easy, just remove it and send it to the Maaco shop. 😂
The whole car doesn't have to stay overnight.
Do you have to wait for the first layer of 845 to cure before adding the second layer?
I usually let it cure overnight.
Ultra power lock plus is supposed to last longer
It didn't exist back when this video was shot.
@@ObsessedGarage I just applied it, let cure for the 3 hours, hello Collinite 845. I’ll keep you updated on the longevity. I do wash weekly with P&S Pearl soap and use P&S Beadmaker as my topper
Hey Matt, curious why you apply these sealants by hand rather than by machine?
It reduces the risk of marring.
I was an idiot and put the two coats of 845 down first today and was going to put power lock down tomorrow. Is it ok to put the power lock over the 845 or do I need to start over?
No, that work play well. Just leave the 845 alone. Next time do PL first.
Obsessed Garage thank you! Will do!
If I hadn't watched these videos I had thought it was the way that you were thinking as well.
