[@jeremiahbrinsko7811]

This might be one of the best videos I’ve ever watched about a consumer the seller and the maker all in one video

[@adamcordeiro47]

I wasn’t expecting to watch this whole video but listening to Sebastian explain the manufacturing and engineering processes had me locked in. Very interesting and I love the passion he has for innovation.

[@mr2chet527]

Listening to the owner explain his philosophy makes me want to pick up one of their polishers.

[@aaquiba7513]

"Where in Germany are you?" [exacting German answer] "...I have no idea where that is" That interaction pretty much sums up my entire career working with Germans in the Automotive sector.

[@jman71890]

This interview had me tuned in the whole entire time!

[@Jose.G.Y]

Woah, a company with people that actually went on an hour plus podcast. Refreshing.

[@davislake5176]

Wow, this guy gets it. Matt, great find with the LE owner, I hope to see this relationship blossom.

[@bigstickerperformance6670]

Wow! What an insight into what goes into getting a polisher (or really any product) to market. All the different decisions on parts, pieces, materials, design. Mind blown 🤯

[@alanfriedlander1423]

Thank you for finding affordable solutions that will allow is to use the best we can afford.

[@I5ZQ8]

So refreshing when someone like Matt talks to an engineer that is passionate about his product and has real answers to the questions not just from a marketing perspective.

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

Iam so honored for feedbacks like this because this is what keeps us going on. Was great to talk to Matt aswell, cause he has some real good knowledge about what's working well in the market for the enthusiastic and pro section

[@paulrhodes482]

​@@sebastianschafer_LE how can I get in touch with you? I have a couple of questions regarding the polishers and the company. Thank you qhat an amazing video very informative.

[@bryanmauroner3347]

Thanks Matt for having the Liquid Elements guys on and providing such an incredible in-depth review. This T4000 5inch makes sense for guys like me who routinely polish once a year on multiple personal vehicles. I plan to purchase one 👍

[@RH-lc1mt]

This was so interesting and entertaining. I have watched it through 3 or 4 times because I so enjoy listening to Sebastian talk about his business. He is so passionate, tireless and creative in developing and continually improving quality products while keeping them at a reasonable price. And he obviously cares about the quality of life of his partners and employees. This is capitalism at its finest!

[@richardf9137]

Love this Guy, Customer Determines which direction you need to go! Innovation is Key!

[@chrisdenman1985]

Great video Matt! Having Sebastian and Demo here and telling their journey into building polisher's, polishes, and microfiber's was incredible. These guys are industry disrupters! Huge respect for their business passion and philosophy on how they run it. This might be entry level products but you may pay more but you are not getting a better machine. To the polishing industry out there it's game on! Wishing you guys great success! This is also a great partnership with Matt. Sales will be crazy!

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

Absolutely appreciate your feedback .

[@Diemo_LE]

Thanks Chris. Yes we think this joint venture will be a great success. I’m happy that you liked the podcast. We’re not here to take on the whole industry, but we’re not saying no. 😂

[@blake8297]

This was awesome. Im in for one but I think I’ll hold out for v2.

[@tomranum6]

Great guys! The market is never wrong. The best video you have made so far in my opinion.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks!

[@sebastianmizzell7541]

For sure one of the better videos that I have seen on here. Informative, honest and enthusiastic group just having an open conversation about something we are all passionate about. Love it!

[@improvedgarage]

cant wait to get my hands on these.. open up the preorders!

[@UN4GTBL]

As a consumer, this is so refreshing to see, very interested in this!

[@kennythomsonjr5553]

Looks like a winner. Thks, Matt

[@BigBear--]

Please don't get rid of the duck bill handle. At least keep it as an option. I prefer to have multiple methods of hold on a machine like this, and the duck bill give uou that. Especially on a larger machine, when you're working on vertical or angled surfaces, or having to stretch over roofs, the duck bill comes in super handy.

[@BigBear--]

Oof...basically unless you're dying for a polisher today, or you don't care about your budget...definitely hold off for version 2 of the 15mm. I'm a DIY detailer, but even in my case I already have 4 polishers (20mm 5", 9mm 5", 8mm forced 5", and a 8mm 3"/2"). I like to buy the best tool I can get for the money I can spend at the time. This video basically forces me to wait for the version 2 of the 15mm at least. I would hate myself if I bought the v1, knowing there's an improved version coming around the corner.

[@kai_291]

If this works LE is in for a big step into a whole new market, im excited for them. All the best from a customer out of Germany

[@warrik55]

Great interview. They seem pretty transparent about their goals. Definitely considering buying one of these for hobby detailing.

[@robertmccall3795]

All I can say is WOW! I've watched a ton of videos on products etc. It's comforting to know that this guy wasn't there to sell a product. He sold his passion. To me that says a lot if that makes sense. The end result, he hopes he provides a viable product to us, the consumer. Feedback from both Matt, and the other gentleman, as a end user, I'd say yeah I'd give it a go. Great video Matt. I want more of this.

[@remus421]

I'm a fan......This company is a WINNER!

[@jeeves1219]

Thank you for finding these guys, Matt!! Patiently waiting for these polishers to drop. When quality meets price level is when everyone can win. I'm still waiting on m&m's cinnamon roll review show, btw (lol)

[@timkinley1779]

This conversation is good reminder to others, that 'knowledge is pain'. Things aren't as simple as you'd think.

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

So true, appreciate your feedback to the video. But knowledge is also a tool which guys who got it should use to improve things by purpose. This is what liquid elements and obsessed garage got in common.

[@detailersgarage]

This was amazing!! Well done, I am definitely going to try this polisher out. This gentleman was on point with all his information & explanations. Thank you for always leading the way with great products, information and showing us all great options.

[@coastalrider1155]

Great interview you can see matts brain working all the time lol. And how good is it he’s literally got the power to change that company’s life because we all listen to him and trust his judgment

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think it's going to be a match made in Heaven.

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

Thanks, this to me is also the way we love to do things in life not only in business. All of le crew who attended the meeting had the same impression, absolute nice people st obsessed garage.

[@taijumaster371]

There is so much valuable information in this video!

[@Ricky_R]

These guys are super legit. Holy crap. Also Matt, definitely swap out the grease in your Milwaukee. It's worth it. Runs cooler and should be more quiet.

[@paulrhodes482]

Great video very informative. I cant wait to get mine.

[@mikephillipsrealworlddetailing]

Awesome interview, very interesting to listen to the engineer describe the behind-the-scenes process to bring this tool from an idea to something you can buff out a car with. Will be following and also checking out this new tool. -Mike Phillips

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

Many thanks for your comment Mike, this kind of feedback is the fuel we need to do it like this.

[@trackar134]

Very excited. Picked up one of each. Already have rupes and Milwaukee. I think are going to be ideal for me. Will grab a few more when V2 is out, the detachable cord is the thing I’ve been hoping for. When my rupes break it’s always bc of the cord.

[@wessmith6558]

Taking 37.5 minutes and some change (at 2X speed) of my time to watch a video is not something I do with my time often. A little ADD, and a lot simple time management. You find out in the first minute if you will give something another minute. The video earned my minutes until it was over……it is that good and engaging. Well done. I will buy one of the polishers just because.

[@ExclusiveTint-CarDetailing]

Came here for the polisher, Would love to give it a try !

[@edornelas7248]

Pad stall is very irritating on contours of panels that aren’t bad. Great video btw guys! I’m debating on placing an order..

[@brianbeaumont9393]

One of the best videos you’ve done Matt, great insight into what drives the design and manufacturing processes. Love these guys!

[@JK-rh1rv]

Another great video and thanks for sharing all this information. I am for sure interested in these polishers. Look forward to when they become available for purchase at the OG 👍!

[@The_Original_Q]

I'm in on this polisher when it comes in. Very well done informative podcast Matt.LE for the win.

[@Diemo_LE]

Thanks for your nice comment. You will love this machine.

[@V1enthusiast]

My order is in. Matt sold me on it.

[@Neslandcruisin]

Very excited! I am definitely buying the full line. Please ship the 21mm also!

[@vseznaykainvestigator7500]

Conversations like this convince me to buy the product more, than the marketing. Matt thank you for your job. First I thought you are some sort of parasite, the guy that just wants easy money. Thank you for bringing in great budget friendly products for average, normal, young people like me.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks man. I love this stuff.

[@Anienee]

Epic conversation! We need more of these. As a consumer I take so many things for granted but I see the point which makes me appreciate the Whys and Hows in a much better way! Being a business owner and a manufacturer of packaged goods myself, I now can relate so much to all the challenges that are part of the hustle. But such honest value able conversations is the reason why I love your channel Matt. Hope someday I will get you to try my product too (which is not detailing related at all) and get your critical opinion on it. 😊

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks man.

[@terry_em1]

I’m so impressed. Leave it to the Germans 👍

[@josephkorger]

I cannot wait to get a set of these. Fantastic episode!

[@davidboyce6427]

Loved the Liquid Element Brain Talk👀👍. It was invigorating, enlightening; especially when it comes to how business is done. Thank you for this deep dive discussion Matt.🫡

[@nomad509]

I really appreciated this video discussion a lot. You can usually tell when someone is enthusiastic about all the details that they are proud of their accomplishments and want to share them to the world. He wasn't wrong about the cost of R&D, from a thermoforming standpoint our company typically can have one aluminum mold/die usually in the ranges of 3 to 8 grand producing one single part and this doesn't include the material cost that is involved to actually build the part.

[@ac7384]

When will you have the liquid elements polisher version 2. I seen they had a v2

[@kevinderenzis7193]

Awesome video! Thanks for doing it!

[@EuroJerk]

Excited for one of these. Trying to get one ASAP. Biggest difference I've seen between the two models is detachable power cord and a little more torque.

[@gs_mick]

“I barely know where Germany is” Tell me you’re from America without telling me you’re from America 😂 (PS love your work!)

[@bryanbickling7101]

Great story !!! These guys seem very genuine. Bring the whole line in. lol lol Matt keep doing what you do best. Love the content. Thanks

[@maximilianosiriful]

Thanks for getting an Og affordable option for my budget!

[@Diemo_LE]

That was the reason we stepped into the game and took the challenge. You will like this machine for sure. 👍

[@DanielC.959]

Wow, I found this all absolutely fascinating, they seem like such cool guys with great entrepreneurial spirit!

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot5869]

I’m ready to send you my money 😂 thanks for making this happen OG and LE

[@RichardMJr]

So is this still coming to your site? You said soon, real soon and it's still not there. Also, will you be getting the 15 and the 21 with 5 inch backing plates? Or did this turn out not to be very good?

[@matthewgibb2640]

I have known sebastian for about a decade and a half or maybe two, he is a great guy and very smart. i"ve always liked his brand and i am about to test his machines but already carry his pads and his pad prime is great. The scent is amazing. Try his green centriforce pad, the best of the range for me. Most big brands are just great marketers whose products often are no better than anyone elses, your paying for their marketing budget though there are some exceptions. Glass fiber reinforced tool bodies european manufacturers have used for yonks.

[@Riverguide33]

Terrific vid, Matt. Loved the product passion, and looking forward to future developments. 👍

[@ribaljamal564]

This is exciting, polishers that are built and made by people whose sole purpose is to make them as good as possible, what is the price range?

[@juliomiranda6801]

Been looking for a mini polisher for a decent price.

[@91accordexr33]

Matt - Thanks for showing the faces behind these products. Sebastian seems like a solid guy. I pre-ordered an Active 2.0 after your video with James; cant wait to do the same with the T4000.

[@johanmil152]

Liquid Elements : YESSS :)

[@Diemo_LE]

We are excited to finally lunch the products here in the US. Quality mustn’t be always expensive. We are here to prove that theory. I hope you become a valued customer!

[@ethanhaynes777]

Can't wait for this to hit the store and I can dial in my M3

[@ababab589]

One of the best podcast episodes

[@dantatro49]

Is there any updates on when these polishers will be available to buy?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Should be next week.

[@jakesta11]

Amazing guys

[@1musicsearcher]

Excellent podcast.

[@MtnTownDetail]

They are close to the Koch-Chemie GmbH HQ

[@Peter-vc8lt]

This was the bomb.

[@brian2359]

Great interview Matt!

[@SoleMax23]

Amazing video…👊🏽👍🏽. Can’t wait to see what you guys are going to come up with together. Also…watching this video and listening to you and Sebastian further proves my point about overpriced hype. 🥴. If you guys can develop a great cordless 15mm/21mm cordless polisher at a great price, I’d purchase one in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!

[@user-qc6zm3sw4t]

When will this be in the store?

[@Rephrased]

End of May they hope, they are on the way over on a boat.

[@em6xn]

The T4000 V2 In OG bleu 🤔💙

[@ObsessedGarage]

Now that's a good idea!

[@SNieX0]

Matt and Team, is that Black hex “minimalist” shirt available?

[@JABZtheJAAT]

Hi are these polishers available with a uk 3 pin plug.

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

Hi, they arent yet but we are working on this already. In the meantime you maybe went to use one with an casual adaptor if this is sufficient for you

[@skFriberg]

So the A1000 coming to the US is the V1? 3 models old compared to the European one seen as they sell the V4 over there?

[@Diemo_LE]

Don’t worry. We are bringing in the V4 version of the machine. Matt got confused with all the numbers.😊

[@skFriberg]

@@Diemo_LE I’m actually from Sweden and will order the V4 myself next week probably. Just curious and was a little confused 😂

[@RichardsWorld]

I think he is from Haagen Dazs.

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

Could also be my style of eating ice cream 😎👍

[@VdubG]

When is this polisher going to be offered at obsessed? In the video it said end of May, did I miss a video where the release dates have been discussed?

[@ObsessedGarage]

They are almost here.

[@abdulshabazz8597]

Lubricants are one method to noise reduction, another method is material selection along with high precision machining, high tolerance parts. The challenge however is attaining a suitable yield to keep the price low.

[@timkinley1779]

Lubricants are a funny application. For the lubrication to work, they have to break down. Then you're left with spent goope.

[@nicholashinkle7929]

@Obsessed Garage, why the T4000 MK1 instead of the T4000 MK2?

[@EuroJerk]

Betcha it has to do with power Germany to US power and whats been manufactured

[@Diemo_LE]

We don’t have the UL certification for the MK 2 yet, but we are working on it.

[@user-mh4pq3sl8i]

This is Owen from Atlanta. Will their polishers that you’ll be carrying ever be available cordless battery powered? Similar to the rupes other the Milwaukee

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes, I have a prototype that I'm using right now. It's really good.

[@robertsc]

​@@ObsessedGarageis it a 5/6 inch one or a 3 inch one? Can you tell something about it when it will be available? Maybe a rough timeline?

[@astephens4796]

@ObsessedGarage anxiously waiting this as I refresh the OG page each day, I need a new polisher. Any updates on time?

[@azimpetra]

LE make some pad washer 🤲 LC is way expensive. Also why follow Rupes path of having different batteries. Its annoying.

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

good suggestion, will think about this :)

[@mills2424]

Was the price ever announced?

[@Jose.G.Y]

Matt mentioned the 5” is $200 or so in a previous podcast

[@Diemo_LE]

The machine will be 210 Dollar plus tax.

[@paco_geo3611]

This has to be the most eye-opening thing I've seen to date. Great ideas are hindered by Corporate Monkey's

[@timkinley1779]

It takes a lot of learning to start from scratch. Acquiring the knowledge is a corner that can't be cut.

[@donaldgreen9292]

may not be an interest on their part. but I would like to see a much better cordless rotary polisher. One that will go down to 600 rpm. Lighter weight than the Milwaukee. I am interest in their nano and the 3 inch nano looking one to market. I will say that it is awesome that he is paying his Chinese employees well instead of crapping on them like major corporations do that uses China workforce.

[@edespinosa4180]

Are the units you are selling 110v?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes

[@supergrovah2729]

Why do I have the feeling that this polisher is going to be the Cabbage Patch Kid doll of the car detailing world.....?

[@AndreasSchwarzinger]

💪👍

[@briansailers3038]

more Cordless options the better

[@Yorkiepoocharlie]

Elon of Polishers...

[@rockhills]

That was exactly my thought! Im interested to see where this company goes in the future

[@Diemo_LE]

Don’t worry guys, we are already cooking on something else. 😂

[@robertsc]

​@@Diemo_LEcan you tell us more? cordless? :)

[@Diemo_LE]

@@robertsc Just watch the new video from Matt (Porsche scratched/How I polish PPF) and put your focus on from minute 10 forward! 👍

[@robertsc]

@@Diemo_LE it looks really good, i want to buy one. Are you still on track for a release later this year? And it will be available in germany first right?

[@EuroJerk]

@diemo_le @Diemo_LE @sebastianschafer_LE How long till the MK2 comes here? im a big fan of being able to unplug cables, I've made my own releases with mine and rather not chop it up if i can help it?

[@sebastianschafer_LE]

I guess we can start shipping these very soon from Germany , so no exact date but a rough guess of a few months
