2017 Version of Dialing in My GT3: E2 - Decontamination

[@jmking7]

Alright Matt!!! No need to excuse yourself from putting out long videos, those of us who come here know what we're getting into and love to watch the whole experience. Keep up the great work!

[@jblifeasitis895]

Matt, you hit the nail, you were saying that car detailing is NOT a science, the very truth. It works, if it works, so why should we debate over "small things". Your work is just an inspiration, respect!

[@cameronmessina5287]

I use to not like the long videos but now that I am really getting into detailing I appreciate the amount of detail and explanation in the long videos and love them

[@jivano]

Matt, you are braver than me using Iron X without gloves. Just the smell of it makes my fingers cry!

[@liamparker5778]

"Car is not beading anymore" - rinses car and beads better than any of my cars

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha.... That was the AMMO Hydrate that I put on it last wash. That won't last long.

[@liamparker5778]

You also mentioned that Gyeon Foam is good to strip wax from the car, can you confirm if this is the product you mean? www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/gyeon-q2m-foam.html unfortunately I can't buy citrus red in the UK

[@matthewhamlett9830]

Your wash bay is life goals

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks!

[@matthewlws86]

seriously

[@leloodallasmultipass]

drives me crazy. I just bought a house that costs as much as yours, but it is the size of a subway sandwich shop. and I moved far away from the high value real estate in my area. unfair.

"Paint is not some super delicate thing where if you breathe on it wrong, you're going to ruin it." -Matty "I haven't had a black car in awhile" Moreman 😂

[@LeshVAuto]

Don't worry about the long videos. Us OGs already gotten used it.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... yep.

[@TheSniperChef]

I like the Howard Light ear pro's you use while using the leaf blower lol! At least you can find a use for them other than at the gun range.

[@kai_291]

Stocked on seeing Power Lock and Collinite again, because those two are getting on my car this year aswell

[@cappinkid]

Love the birds in the background. Peaceful

[@Doggepp]

Not sure if this is common knowledge. But if you use degreaser, iron-x or whatever. If it dries out - Just reapply more of that product to the same spot. Its difficult to remove something with water once dried, so applying more of the same product re-activates it, and then you can rinse it off

[@sethwright]

Might wanna fix 2107 to 2017! lol, I hope I didn't fast travel that far..

[@BM.167]

That title though. "2107 Verison of Dailing in My GT3: E2 - Decon"

[@rider147b]

Is Matt trolling us?!

[@cls63amgwagon34]

rider147b lol I don't get it

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Oh nvm lmao

[@fakez06sean98]

The breathing from paint, or any surface with dissolved gas, is called "outgassing".

[@andresreyes5398]

Looking good Matt glad to see her home

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks!

[@bobgees793]

Great video. Loving these detailed explanations. It's also so relaxing to watch.

[@flyingscalpel7]

I bought a 91 skyline r32 gtr. Paint is rough, rust bubbles coming up, mismatched panels. Paint fading. I think it'd be neat to see Matt buy a rough car and bring it back.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Probably won't happen.

[@DanielHernandez-ll8ps]

Awesome channel. Love how detailed these videos are. I don't mind the length of them at all. Would you consider offering a microfiber package with less quantities of each? I think it would be great for us that do this as a hobby on 1 or 2 cars.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I added all the towels individually today. www.obsessedgaragestore.com/collections/microfiber

[@james172729]

Good to see you getting back at it with the GT3. Bet it was driving you crazy it sitting at the dealership all that time. Website looks good btw. Nice job Matt 👍🏼

[@ObsessedGarage]

You got it. I feel like all is right in the world now.

[@mikemulhearn3220]

Usually I'll spray it onto a wet vehicle, and usually don't bother agitating it. I typically only do a few sprays per panel, and it gets most off. Anything I may miss comes off with clay. As per the outgassing of the paint, you are good to polish immediately. In the body shop, they usually will wet sand some, or at least "buff down" the clear. Usually it comes out looking lackluster, but it's perfectly safe to do. Only thing to avoid is putting protection on the paint, since that is what creates the barrier from the surface and air. So correct away, if you wish!

[@ObsessedGarage]

That makes a lot of sense.

[@imanaxbert1937]

Matt, that looks like a very healthy scratch on the right front quarter of the hood. You went right over it with the Rupes & nano skin & didn't freak out, so maybe it's not.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's not.

[@MrBlazku]

Love the videos. And make them as long as you like. The more details the better.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks!

[@vonnblack3199]

Loving this Matt. Looking forward to the next videos on the series!

[@charlesdetailn8514]

Great video as always Matt!!!!! Love your videos

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks man!

[@liamsels3112]

when i was a little kid I used to wash my dads car (hes a car guy too but just a 'limited' edition ford focus) a lot and try not to cringe but all we did was use a bucket with water and carsoap and wash the car with a NORMAL SPONGE!! afterwards after rinsing the car we dried it of with a chamois leather cloth (if its the correct translation) watching your videos made us at least a bit more careful. Now (still the focus :) he uses snowfoam and occasionally waxes the car :D

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think that's how we have all done it.

[@singletrackftw]

Maybe by the year 2107 the Raptor will see a full correction bahahahaha 😂

[@ObsessedGarage]

Suck it! Ha, ha...

[@barrycook8116]

Matt knows you can call some reinforcements to come help with the raptor if he wants to knock it out. :)

[@ObsessedGarage]

You've read my mind. I was just thinking about doing a KZbin live Raptor session.

[@benjaminharrah4558]

Obsessed Garage KZbin live raptor is something I would love to watch. Pad of paper and pen, and drink sounds like a good viewing situation.

[@kenlawton1531]

Nice decon job mate, iron x is excellent stuff and perfect for this. Now I'm curious as to where I can buy that machine clay pad thing from 😂😂😂

[@dchop1]

If I'm ever in the area can I check out your cars? I'm a huge car guy (driven 458, f430, srt viper, 911 turbo(m), r8 v10(m)... and could learn a lot from you on taking care of them properly. I really just want to see the cars but I know I would get more out of it than that.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep!

[@jwhite1089]

Looking good! Do you think the scratches that you're foreshadowing here could have been caused by the autoscrub? Maybe that's why you didn't notice them before? Even after using new clay on mine I noticed a ton of new baby swirls. A bit disheartening but they polished out easily.

[@ObsessedGarage]

No, they are straight lines.

[@MrJsyed]

I think this man is straight out of his mind. Fight Club's Tyler Durden in the flesh.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha.... In some ways yes.

[@nemesis11fp20]

How do you not have 1000 bugs flying around your lights? I dont know about Fl, but if I did this in Ks, there would be about a half million mayflies and moths flying around.

[@TV-jv4dj]

Nemesis 11FP Not that time of the year where bugs are swarming over you when there is light. When the rainy, hot and humid season comes in, then the show starts haha.

[@ObsessedGarage]

They are flying around, but I feel like I've been lucky.

[@timothymacherone9950]

Great video - keep it up! Can't wait to see the next episodes

[@meschio]

Could you describe how you put the tube of pressure washer onto the ceiling dear Obsessed Garage?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Before I put the walls up I ran some 2" PVC in the wall as a chase. Then I ran a 30' 3/8" hose through that conduit to my Mosmatic boom pole that is mounted to the ceiling joists.

[@dejedejsson]

Do not blame the trigger gun Matt, you can not put together a BSP thread with an NPT thread and expect it not to leak

[@ObsessedGarage]

I know that.

[@robertsmithUH60driver]

Ever thought about getting some of the plastic owls they sell?

[@ElNaryManya]

How are you Matt?? Amazing video like always!!!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Great man! Thanks!

[@dancoyne4151]

Love the description lol

[@mtx450]

Maybe a stupid question, but why doesn't Rupes make it so the plate is spaced from the body of the unit? Why would you ever want it to touch?

[@ObsessedGarage]

They have a reason. It's something to do with ensuring you don't end up with too much rotation.

[@Thiccology]

God these vids are so peaceful to watch.

[@surroundsoundfreak13]

Another great video. Can't wait to see more. What brand was that barrier that you mentioned about the rodents and bugs if you don't mind me asking?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Jamson Labs Barrier. The folks at dirtkiller.com sent me some to try.

[@surroundsoundfreak13]

Obsessed Garage Thanks for the reply. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.

[@gardenshed9728]

Is the pad you were using from 20:00 a cutting pad? Or sanding pad? Ie 2500g?

[@rickprater5121]

matt you need to get detail cart so you don't have to get that table out everytime.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Agreed.

[@kmcg674]

Matt - Great vlogs as always though I categorise 37 mins as a summary version :). I'm planning to do a detail not dissimilar to the one shown in your current vlog series. This will likely involve a wash / decon day 1 followed by polishing / waxing on day 2. Do you have any thoughts / advice about leaving a decontaminated car overnight outside and what action, if any, you might suggest take before polishing? Should the car be hosed down, or even washed again? I'm just conscious that it will pick 'stuff' up from lying outside and I wouldn't want to 'polish-in' whatever may have settled on the car overnight. Thanks in advance for any advice from you, or equally fellow OGers :)

[@ObsessedGarage]

All you need to do is wipe it down with something like CarPro eraser before you start polishing. I wouldn't overthink it.

[@kmcg674]

Thank you Matt, appreciate both the specific advice and the bigger point about relaxing! Kevin

[@MinkJordan6]

What's with the exhaust sitting in the background?

[@mannysingh109]

Will you be adding a complete package for just products to the website?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes, I'm working on it.

[@JesusGarcia-md8yi]

Holy crap thats alot of pads!!!!😳😳😳👍👍👍

[@mathews5545]

I've asked this to someone else before but they never answered. Say you weren't doing a paint Correction, wouldn't a nano skin pad spinning and picking up debris actual damage the paint more because it's not acting like clay and "engulfing" the debris?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I wouldn't call it damage. I think that is a little strong. It basic marring, but yes, you are correct. Although washing the car prior should get rid of anything nasty.

[@Leymeister]

Gas blower? Aren't you concerned with gas/oil/exhaust fumes getting onto your decontaminated paint?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's not an issue. The exhaust vents out a the bottom.

[@stevenchandler7364]

i have the same stihl leafblower that you use to dry the car, works wonders on drying my fiji blue pearl paint. but my only question is, does the exhaust gases from the leafblower recontaminate the paint especially with the car being wet? just always wondered about that

[@ObsessedGarage]

No

[@MrTedflick]

Is there such a thing as an electric sprayer, so you don't have to squeeze that sprayer by hand?

[@ruffchem1]

Ted Flick you could buy a pump sprayer....

[@MrSuperguy226]

Hey Matt! Do you find any problems blow drying your car with a leafblower? Apparently it blows pollen and stuff onto the paint. Let me know!

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's a fallacy.

[@MrSuperguy226]

Lol. I only trust you anyways! What about ceramic coating? Why haven't you done that in your cars?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Coating have many pros, but they also have a bunch of cons. They look a bit odd to me. That's the main reason why I don't use them often.

[@xiingli]

First, I guess. Can't wait for the video!

[@xiingli]

Gotta wait for that better quality to process though

[@o_he_gon8495]

my iMac is having problems playing your videos in anything more than 480p. Did some setting change? It's only on this youtube channel.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I don't think so. It works on mine.

[@o_he_gon8495]

Stupid Safari. Downloaded google chrome and it works fine

[@xceddie]

What kind of spray bottle did you use, while using the clay bar lubricant?

[@ObsessedGarage]

amzn.to/2nsuwmx

[@delicatedetailing1565]

Removing a coating is not much harder than removing your sealant or wax, once you start getting the defects out you know the coating isnt there anymore, and doesn't take much longer( with that being said i have only stripped some car pro coatings) Also coatings do not last forever as many are over marketed and making unrealistic claims. There are 1 year coatings available that marketed towards to the car enthusiast like you and me making it possible to do maintenance corrections and then just recoat which would be ideal for daily drivers who daily through the winter to guarantee you are not carrying around years of salt and tar.. With that being said if the coating did its job you shouldn't need to maintenance correct anyway. First guy ive ever seen use a gas leaf blower to dry, id be a little hesitant as debris may get through filter and then be shot at the vehicle, not to mention all the surrounding dust and debris on the ground being blown around and back onto the vehicle. But all in all great videos keep up the hard work!

[@Miguevel]

Looking Awesome

[@nugomed]

Hey Matt, what would you reccomend me using as a lubricant for a clay bar?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Anything works. I use Optimum No Rinse or Nanoskin Glide.

[@kyled4156]

Looking sweeeet!!

[@Fittednocap]

I’ve been using the drying aid on your website and now I got the jescar collinite combo. Should I not use the drying aid if I’m going to add jescar/ collinite?

[@ObsessedGarage]

You will still want to use it.

[@M6togone1019]

Does Matt ever turn that TV on is the question?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Since making videos, rarely.

[@JonathanPinnock]

What's the name of the bug repellent spray you use around the perimeter of the house?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Jamson Labs Barrier, but I have no idea where to buy. My friends at Kranzle USA sent me some.

[@albertbrooklyn]

Without a clear protective coat are road chipping and scratches and issue? Is the GT3 a fun car for longer trips?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It happens, but still happens with clear film if a rock is big enough. GT3 is actually rather comfortable.

[@albertbrooklyn]

Thanks for the info.....getting a 2018 Cayman S in August and was debating the clear protective coat. Presently, on the top of "list" for 2019 GT3....assuming they still will produce it next year. Your attention to detail is incredible and your videos are very informative....appreciated.

[@jpbrown4127]

How long will you use one of those autoscrub sponges before replacing it?

[@ObsessedGarage]

These are my original ones, so years.

[@bobdaniels6506]

What is the difference between the spray u used with the nano skin and just a regular detail spray???

[@ObsessedGarage]

Nothing really. It just from the same manufacturer that make the AutoScrub. It's much less expensive to use than say Adam's detail spray.

[@nisarakbari205]

What do you think about car wrapping considering it for my 2016 gtr

[@ObsessedGarage]

I dislike it very much.

[@basedakali]

Do you have any recommendations on alternatives to CG Citrus Red? I don't think they make them any more and I'm wondering what I can use to remove my sealant/wax.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'd used Gyeon Foam. It strips like nothing else.

[@basedakali]

Many thanks!

[@dronjones1]

Does anyone else have any issues with Matt's videos consistently going all green? I don't have this issue on any other channels but this one. Am i the only one?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Hmmm... That's odd. I don't.

[@dronjones1]

It might be on my end, just was wondering if other viewers had any issues

[@Theonlywone]

Is there a ceramic treatment on your GT3 ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not on this car.

[@jaredlovins4637]

What's you're favorite detailer?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Detail spray?

[@ruffchem1]

Obsessed Garage I think he means pro. I would have to say Larry. Ridiculously good guy and competely brilliant.
