Yet again Larry, your knowledge of detailing, paint, etc is impeccable. Your the the man dude.

[@dhruv0503]

Never knew matte finish is so hard to maintain. Great job as always 👍. Excited for the yellow countach

[@jason21jburg]

That’s why matte ppf is the best alternative

[@Ren_1106]

Basically, Matte painted car must always have Satin PPF with.

[@Sev.a]

@@jason21jburg I had matte wheels they were a nightmare evenwith weekly wash

[@ozielsolis1]

Always love the content, my all time favorite car detailing channel

[@strat0871]

Same ! 😀

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

The other detail channels for the most part are average at best.I've ran a mid level detail shop for a decade.Most of the other channels are easy to call out mistakes ,and bad habits/work.Larry has it pretty dialed in.Also most channels are there to sell you product.A great detailer will get better results with a Meguiar's level product.We sell high end products at the store,but use really basic products on cars.It's just not worth it

[@Bongofurry]

Love ?

[@rickbaker4571]

love the car, hate the paint... thanks for bringing us, Larry.

[@Bongofurry]

Not love , like.

[@CovKid2K10]

The car (cls) is the paint. So your statement is bullshit. The paint makes this a csl

[@user-rn4vw9tr3e]

Matt paint maintained is awesome.

[@Bongofurry]

@@CovKid2K10 Go Kia !

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Hate the car, hate the paint - they are both ugly as f*ck.

[@LOGEZZZZZBRO]

That paint looks like a bigger pain in the ass to upkeep than it’s worth! I imagine if someone can afford this car they wouldn’t be the one maintaining it though.

[@Daddelcrusher]

It is. I had it on my Range Rover Evoque. Total pain to keep it clean, and to clean.

[@cadmando18]

Oh wow! I have been waiting for this detail since you started teasing it. It's truly amazing what those cars are capable of. They are super car territory for sure.

[@Coslin]

Very informative, Larry! Well done, sir!

[@blueRC]

I really like the small infocards you put into the video! Great as always, learned a lot!!!

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Bravo, Larry 👏🏼 I’d go for a matte wrap if I wanted that finish. Matte looks great but mamma mia it’s only a matter of time before heartbreak shines in… 😖

[@Beer_Dad1975]

A lot of people at this end of the market are leasing and returning the car after a few years at most, so they don't give a damn. My neighbor does this with his C63AMG - replaces it every 3 years with a new one - literally washes it with a house broom and bucket of whatever during those 3 years, as it doesn't have any effect on his lease how awful the paint ends up, he knows he's getting a shiny new one eventually. Of course this car is a lot more of a collector type thing, which I guess is why the owner is paying for a pro detailer to look after it.

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

This was really informative on how to take care of matte paint. What a beautiful car!

[@joefisher7431]

As current owner of a frozen bronze 4 series this was of particular interest. Thankyou!

[@NewHaven203]

I love this style of BMW, my all time favorite era of BMW, the grille has grown on me, used to think it was ugly lol

[@plsmcustomization]

Man the music has been getting better and better, gotta say I've really been enjoying the selections. Your skills are always on point so nuff said on that

[@tammyalderman3602]

Another exceptional video. Matte paint is a challenge to care for.

[@p1mack]

Excellent vid, as usual. As someone who "was" an old school muscle car guy -and slowing becoming a German Car lover (own a little A3) this was a great car to see!

[@Average.1JZ.Enjoyer]

Inb4 thermostat pisses out all your coolant

[@oc0dyc]

@@Average.1JZ.Enjoyer No you're not, it probably already did. Thankfully thermostats aren't that big of a deal. That motor is great and very tunable, I enjoyed mine more than I expected.

[@JStryker7]

“Stealth” ppf on a gloss paint car makes soo much more sense than getting matte paint

[@dinosoarskill17]

i like all the random bits of info you add in

[@dvlop0018]

Larry with a” race car” is pure bliss. Just happiness. Especially after the detail.

[@alex210191]

Awesome video as usual Larry! Looking forward to the next one 😃😃

[@dennispeery5166]

Absolute beast of a car. Love the look of matte paint, hate the maintenance.

[@Stormrragge]

Man your knowledge and detail prowess is unreal. Such a pleasure watching the process

[@billnard]

Just starring at the reflection on the TV of the lights turning on when Larry turns the car on in the shop. What a car.

[@cyclonicleo]

The centre steering wheel marker comes from rally, so drivers know where the front wheels are pointing (AFAIK). Matte paint - yuk. Those wheels, what a pain! But man, that performance is just intoxicating.

[@kendavis1198]

Dang Larry. What a Vehicle to be able to Detail, and....... take out for a Burn. NICE!! I could feel my Back just watching!

[@Jonny-tr9qo]

Every car video I watch says it has fastest time at Nuremberg ring lol

[@stefanschneider3681]

1:12 it says in the text "of a production BMW", that might be correct 😉

[@xbaldwin97]

Came across this channel a few months ago and all I can say is this is by far the best channel on KZbin

[@cbidwell91]

FINALLY! A recent matte finish video. I've been waiting to see how you do your washes due to my motorcycle also being matte. Great content as always!

[@bradbalderson8172]

Excellent video Larry, saw the Grand National in the background so are we going to see that soon?

[@TomP-148]

Love your products and videos! Do you think you could do a product review of all your stuff compared to others that have recently come out. I would love to see how it stacks against the new competition out there.

[@cf5814]

I had a matte m8 as a daily driver and it was insane to maintain. I had to wash the car almost twice a week because the road grime would be so bad on the car. It was cheaper to actually PPF the whole car over time, which after I did it made the car 100x easier to maintain.

[@WorldHistoryVids1]

Great video for anyone with a matte paint! As someone with a frozen M3, it is a pain to keep clean!

[@Jay-_-Lee]

Holy moly I’ve 7 different channel on youtube today with all different genres. But all advertising for AG1. Must have alot of money on the back to support all these channels

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

what an amazing car, i love the design and paint as well. but it's way more complicated when cleaning it up, basically you can't do any errors! that's crazy, but this one had the master detail so she was lucky.

[@gunsnsails]

This is what I needed. I have a few potential clients that have matte finishes.

[@TECsta76]

Real time put one of these on my wish list..

[@ThePete2432]

Happy Sunday

[@ERICK4431]

Hey Larry can you use a soft brush when the soap is applied while cleaning Matte paint?

[@LerrySanders]

Love watching a pro doing what he does best. Great video. Thanks Larry. But can we talk about that grill....

[@gamechip06]

If a rock got embedded into the grill, does that mean the car now has kidney stones?

[@113ultimatum6]

IT IS FUCKIN AWESOME, y'all shoud drive hondas if you dont like this masterpiece

[@emiller7040]

Pig nose!

Questions for you Larry, how would those M4 carbon seats compare to the ones of the Porsche GT3?? Thanks for the videos

[@TundeEszlari]

Amazing video.

[@silverpassiondeepakverma6638]

That's one stunning piece of German engineering and thanks for showing what to do with matt finish paint always great watching your channel Larry

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Stunningly ugly.

[@Viages]

Larry Kosilla , the master of all detailers , specially those KZbin “detailers” that learned from you.

[@randoliof]

Can you clay matte paint to remove contamination, or is that too much abrasion?

[@rjnation5042]

Really like the channel, I've been waiting for you to show us a matte finish car, I've never understood why you'd order one myself, though I did have my GR Yaris paint corrected & matte wrapped when new, just to make it different & mine, Rj in Oz

[@Aleks_Mechanics]

Notification SQuad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

[@RipRoaringGarage]

I can never unsee the Buccee's Beaver in these new BMWs

[@user-mr9yy3yf9q]

Have a matte paint car coming in two weeks. Thanks for the info. I hope to pick it up on a nice day and immediately drop it off for a full matte PPF wrap and ceramic coat. I understand the matte ppf is a tad more forgiving, but I'll maintain it as you demonstrated.

[@ShannonAndy]

Now THAT is a beautiful car

[@alexbritch02]

I had no clue you played/play hockey lol. Ive been playing for 16 years out in Canada! Never a bad time for a hockey break

[@dbeckMSP]

so if there is any sort of scratch, does that panel need to be repainted in order to properly repair it?

[@user-rn4vw9tr3e]

Having had a Matt white F80 M3 if you have it protected from new with coating & regular weekly washing it’s easy to maintain.

[@maxdayan]

Thank for the informative video! Question about the power washer. You said no more than 1200 psi almost all pressure washers I find are higher than that. Do you have a recommendation on a good 1200 psi unit?

[@brimmed]

@2:49 is that all soap? Seems like a lot but maybe that's why I'm not getting the shaving cream effect I see on YT. I'm also using just cheap mr pink CG and a cheap karcher pressure washer so maybe those might have an effect too

[@omsoms8396]

@AMMO NYC Hello from Australia I have just been delivered my CSL. To my horror, during transport, somehow some oil spray found its way on the matte paint which has caused marring. Can you please let me know how you would deal with that and where i can purchase your recommended products to deal with the Marring, if you have a distributor in Australia? Many thanks

[@acecabral]

Been watching your work for bit, so my question, what do you look for when shopping for a detail shop that will be thorough, and knowledgeable in their work? As much as I would love to have you do it, not everyone can be local.

[@serzok1]

Beautiful car and rumble 🥇👏

[@ricardocampos3383]

Hey Larry, have you ever thought about putting your rotating wheel stand on a pedestal in order to bring it up to chest level? I feel like that way you won't have to hunch so much!

[@mitchelldzodz8708]

At 7:52 is the brake pad hardware installed incorrectly? It looks like it isn't installed correctly but i'm not sure if thats how it is for this car. I would've thought it goes under the pin like some other brakes ive seen. Interesting if that is how they are meant to go.

[@400080vikkash]

What a beauty wow!

[@biggestthreattoyourexistence]

The CSL is super cool and BMW has a race engineered explanation to every detail of the car. It's a car guy's car.

[@Evinrudeeee]

Larry, I was wishing to get some recommendation for my upcoming M3 CS frozen white 🙏

Love the videos please keep it up! Such a beautiful car.

[@bellwethertrucking3650]

I had an 82 S-10 that I painted matte black and it was one of the best finishes I had laid down til that point, but if any oils got on it, they stood out like a green hat with an orange bill. Fingerprints wouldn't wipe away without warm water and soap. Lol

[@DirtyDianna]

That wasn't a bike. It was a dragon 🐉 The Mighty Boosa Bro 🤣

[@inoagaiwhodetails]

I just did a BMW M2 last week. Same color as this M4. The M2 was stick shift. Oof! What a car. Whoos! The M2 was not the same color. It was a shiny light blue.

[@BrickProblems]

How would I clean matte wheels? I have trouble getting them perfect.

[@jakewiinamaki6751]

Please get some wheel stud hangers. Ding a rim on carbon ceramic brakes and you will crack them. Ask your snap on guy, he has them. Love the vids as usual!

[@flyingmonkey8245]

10:04 😂😂

[@benhook1850]

Is just pre washing the car with water enough to rid most of the dirt before a contact wash?? I’d have though rinsing the snow foam then contact washing would reduce the risk of marring the paint?? Be interesting in people opinion on this

[@ericeger5264]

I have a question: what about clay? Can it be used to remove some contamination or is it better not to use it on matte paint?

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Given it's a rough surface, I suspect claying would be pointless since the point of clay is to leave a smooth surface. Never tried it, but I expect it would bind. Matt paint it probably the most retarded trend in car fashion since chrome spinners.

[@James-no2lr]

I just ordered a X5M Competition in Frozen Black. Now I'm super scared. Chicago streets, winters and kids, I hope I didn't make a mistake.

[@rennspd1]

[@jessicabecause3717]

I wonder if cleaning with strong chemicals, brush, and a power hose would be the same for a car covered in truck bed lining.

[@marco_evertus]

I’m thinking about buying this car but I hate the front grill 🐽. What do you guys think do you like this look or should I look at something else?

[@Bwill-hn2pc]

What’s best way to remove dried on bird poo in between washes?

[@gamechip06]

Wash it, it's corrosive so it's a good idea to get it off ASAP, but if you don't want to bother with that you can use something like frothe to just spray the area of interest and wipe it down.

[@berky1976]

Great example of why I won't have a matte paint job on my car... I'd wrap it in a matte finish wrap before doing that. Have you ever detailed a vehicle that used a Line-X undercoat as the top coat. I have seen a Jeep Wrangler done that way. The entire Jeep was coated with Line-X. I thought that might be interesting as a accent for texture on a car.

[@davism131]

You’re awesome Larry! That BMW is not. A disgrace to all previous BMW designs
