Dialing In My E92 M3 : E9 - Trim And Glass

[@19anarvaez]

You’re like the Bob Ross of car detailing lol keep up the good work brother.

[@lewisfisk]

Armando Narvaez Bob Ross is the best.

[@gextreme8]

Really enjoying the increase in video production. You've been on to something for some time and it's showing. Awesome job!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks man. My whole life is about improving.

[@Audittr2108]

I've been using Gtechniq G1 & G5 on my glass for 10 years now and swear by it. C4 is superb on trim too especially as you seem to be drifting towards CSL. Also might be an idea if you gave the rubbers a going over at the decon soap stage with a hogs hair brush or similar, there'd be far less coming off at the IPA wipe stage and will make things a little easier. That's what I do anyway! Car looks awesome by the way. Now you have HQ with the lift and all the tools, your detailing is on another level. The GT350 detail was not that long ago but was no-where near this one.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Coated trims and glass mixed with sealed paint. This might be the winning combo. Owning a coated vehicle isn’t quite as fun, nothing like laying down a fresh coat of 845 every now and then

[@eljohalimi2196]

I have the exact same color and similar spec. I have too many rock chips (for my standards) and it’s killing me. Watching these videos makes me want to get off my ass and correct the paint. Keep the videos coming and great car!

[@WhySoSerious11311]

Use oral foam swabs for the honey comb and other intricate pieces of trim. Learned that from watching Jim White, and its truly a game changer. (Make sure to get the untreated ones)

[@semiephemeral9]

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot that Jim used those.

[@997GURU]

Your videos have gone up 5 notch in quality, keep it up for more Crazy !! I wonder why Matt dont have more subscribers………..

[@ThatAussieBloke1]

I can't wait for the first wash

[@jermaineh7848]

Yes, The M3 is almost "Dialed In".. Great Job.

[@cobra454tim]

BTW 91 IPA works great for removing sap I tried everything on coworker’s car black Dinali she left it on there for months over the summer. and I mean I tried everything Claybar compounding etc. The sap glob was like turning to Crystal amber lol IPA Took it out I had to wipe for several minutes and made sure that it was still wet between the microfiber and the paint but I couldn’t believe it.

[@martinharman574]

great finishing touch, really good series. Best one yet

[@oldman_sneakerhead3369]

I use Adams tire and rubber on the trim prior to washing.

[@lukazg]

This is next level filming and video editing, looks a lot more professional! Great job!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Bryce is killing it. We are only going to get better.

[@matt.108]

Hey Matt. Just wanted to let you know. They sell replacement trims for the e92 328i, 335i, and M3 for about $30. Easy to replace. Keep up all the hard work man. 👍🏻

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

Learning every time I watch. Great series so far!

[@JUAN75001]

Your BMW looks beautiful all the hard work you did in a week was worth it

[@acsbimmer]

Always gotta manage those wipers!

[@cobra454tim]

Matt I liked the blue intro you did on your last video where you were Dialing in the M3 with Jes car and 845. Also great video work although I do enjoy you having the camera just sit there, I have noticed that you have really stepped up your videos thank you for the great content.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm working on it.

[@timclarke3097]

Car looks amazing Matt... hard work but worth it mate 👍🏻

[@ralphralphin]

The cars looking hot!!!! I have been using Gtechniq on my glass for the past couple years as it lasts longer than anything else i have tried. I remember you trying their coating, but dont remember if you tried the glass coating.I just thought I would mention it.

[@RockyTop1911]

Kind of need a Honeycomb microfiber mini brush.

[@camver100]

I know you said you wanted to try the angelwax brand.i highly reccomend you try it before your next wolf’s stock order (especially h2go). I find it identical to wolfs glass even the application , but here in Australia it’s 17$ aud for 100ml for 6-12 months longevity , can do maybe 20-30 cars glass with it . The price point makes it more accessible for everyone therefore more sales for OGHQ! Side note - I’m a prodetailers and have converted from using the same line up of wax’s/ compounds etc as you to now, half carpro / angelwax. Particularly angelwax enigma aio polish (super versatile aio that’s suprisingly got a lot of bite. I can compound and finish 75% of cars with it perfectly just by varying the pad. H2go, enigma wax( bit pricey but unmatched to other Wax’s), VISION (the best glass cleaner on the market - verified by a lot of uk KZbinrs too), ti-22 (hybrid titanium sealant that you apply under a wax by a spray - will make you gag if you smell it - super alcoholly, but gives the same life extension of a wax as Collinite does but in a wipe on / off spray form . - oh I’m not a angel wax seller or rep , just a guy that loves to use the best detailing products haha

[@hermansillem]

Hello Matt, I find that using cotton swabs for the honeycomb trim works really good! Have you ever tried that?

[@kevinball4467]

I own an e90 335i(n54) and my paint was ruined by the previous owner. I can’t afford a respray and the paint is unrepairable. I’m considering doing a full vinyl warp by myself, any recommendations for material? 3m, vivid, etc.

[@LSD04]

As you mentioned Angelwax in your SEMA video you should try their glass cleaner Vision and rain repellent H2GO. Plus plenty more great products. You should also try Gtechniq finger pads to apply your glass coating.

[@jtschump]

I've been using both of these products as well and LOVE the H2GO!

[@joshtypexoxo]

Would love to see long term results from this, the R8 and your dads subie

[@ObsessedGarage]

R8 is coming this week for its first wash. I'll have a video on it.

[@FireTrail741]

should do the rubber and trim before the citrus wash.

[@FireTrail741]

the cleaning that is.

[@xdsandla]

Are all the dots on the windscreen on the inside or are they stonechips?

[@tejael1]

Think your seeing reflections from lights like you can see camera guy in paint.

[@fischputza]

I guess he hasn't cleaned the interior yet. Otherwise it would have been replaced in a heartbeat (rightfully so).

[@ObsessedGarage]

They are stone chips.

[@fischputza]

Interesting. Looks pretty beat up on camera. You said a couple of times that the front/hood was repainted, but just by the looks of the windshield, I would expect the front to be in much worse shape.

[@nolanohana]

Matt, for the rubber trim and moldings have you tried Gummi Pflege Stift? Amazing product, highly recommend you try it.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I've read about that, but I haven't ever used it. I'll add it to the list.

[@semiephemeral9]

@@ObsessedGarage not something you have to deal with in FL, but up North here the stuff is awesome at preventing doors from freezing shut.

[@JohnPerez-fn2ok]

I would like to see your opinion on the Gtechniq trim coating.

[@amill1563]

I enjoy learning the process but I will pay to have this done for now.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... That's smart.

[@amill1563]

@@ObsessedGarage Plus I don't have your skill level yet. Hey Matt, would be cool if you had beginner kits available for newbies.

[@seanbrownell7609]

Hey Matt, love what you’re doing. Been following for well over a year now. I have a question as to what coating would you recommend using and will it be available in the store soon? Thanks!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm pretty sure it's going to be Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. I may also do Cquartz UK 3.0 for certain types of paints/cars.

[@cobra454tim]

For the price point Gyeon is good, works great on Subaru plastic head and tail lights, I also like the glass cleaner it’s just below Griots glass. Matt have you gotten your hands on the car guys tire shine spray?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I haven't yet.

[@aarong8633]

Great video/episode Matt, loved the quality as well. Noticed that the front window has a lot of chips do you have any plans on repair or replacement? Or just dealing with it like myself lol...

[@ObsessedGarage]

The camera makes it look worse than in person. It's inevitable.

[@Suomyice]

Hello Matt. I wanted to ask you if I may, What is your opinion on glass treatment product like "Auqapel" . I personally use it like it very much. It can withstand strong chemicals that are needed to clean cars here in Iceland over the winter months( cars get caked in salt and tar! ) Also to polish the car, I find myself today, using almost only Armour All product that is name "The Shield" it is not wax more like a sealant I guess. You do not let is sit on, just on and off, divide the car into sections. It works on both paint and trim. and gives very good shine.and has a decent production and last for 2-3 months. Of course it is not a product at the same level as what you are using and offering. But on a daily driven car that lives in a very tough environment. Seeking perfection is far from being worth the time investment 99% of the time. I think, It is a brilliant product and the shine is really that good, I even use it on my 2nd car that is just used over the summer.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I've never used Aquapel, so I'm not sure about it.

[@Suomyice]

@@ObsessedGarage thanks for the reply. I guess you have never tested "the shield" either?

[@E90M3VISS]

1st to comment! Love the E92 M3 series!

[@bicboim5561]

Matt - does the Wolf’s Trim harden/crystallize on glass or painted surfaces? For example, when I applied Gyeon Trim for the first time on window seals, I accidentally got some on the surrounding glass and had to use a razor blade to remove. As for the paint I had to clay/buff it out. Just wondering if it’s the same situation here?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It does not. It is not a true coating. It is a nano sealant.

[@rockhills]

Does the liquid consistency of Wolf's Nano Trim have a similar consistency to that of Gyeon Trim? I find Gyeon Trim to be thicker and feel oily I would say.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's a little thinner.

[@semiephemeral9]

@@ObsessedGarage that's kind of my gripe about Gyeon Trim as well as far as application.

[@fischputza]

Can you apply the trim coating with a brush on the grille? Or would it result in too much product?

[@ObsessedGarage]

This is $50 a bottle, so I don't think I'd recommend that.

[@bdeale3314]

Hey Matt, I've been chasing that darn honeycomb trim solution for a LONG time. Would a q-tip be more effective at getting into all of the nooks....or am I over thinking this? Thanks

[@joshmawson3931]

Wrap a microfibre around a detailing brush handle

[@ObsessedGarage]

That would work.

[@andrewrivera2571]

hey Matt! what kind of equipment / workflow do you use to create your videos? For instance your pc (w/ specs) and camera. I am a design student who over thinks everything when making large purchases and I won't be able to stop thinking about it until I've finally decided. Im currently using a fully spec'd rmacbook pro 15" from 2014 and its seriously slowing down after four years of heavy design work. thanks in advance!

How does Stoner Glass Cleaner stack up against Griots Glass Cleaner? I've always used Stoner Glass but does anyone have a recommendations or suggestions pro or against either one?

No, no, no. This guy is the bored housewife of detailing. It's overkill, overspending, and he doesn't use his cars. How does anyone find this channel informative? This is not detailing, which is transforming a carcass to a fresh body, this is guy concerned that his windshield gasket might not be as black as it was the day before, while sitting in the garage. In Dogs name, somebody call a shrink

I don't have any of those hangups you do. Why would you buy a jacked up car? I would just buy a decent one and improve it. Since when is it better to be poor and stupid? You should come spend a day with me to see what it's like to be this way. You might change your mind.
