F10 M5 Detail Series: E5 - Compounding

[@hammertimee777]

i guess one of the reasons why i like watching these videos is because matt reminds me of a red head kid in my grade 4 class. He was very quirky and had anxiety problems. And he also had some of the nicest, niftiest school supplies in the entire class. He was very meticulous of how he organized his books and school supplies, and he had a dedicated stationary for a very specific task! We all have seen someone like that in school at one point!!!

[@curtr.5083]

I totally agree about IND. I called those guys up directly for a couple parts when my M2’s front bumper was damaged. They were so bummed to hear about the damage and they got the intercooler shipped straight from CSF since it was closer and cheaper, and they comped the shipping and ceramic coating on the reflectors. True enthusiasts and good humans over there.

[@johnpaull135]

Hey Matt remember you are giving these cars a new life and that’s what’s soo cool about your channel and what you do. And it’s real people who follow you and love this stuff and have changed the way we all look after our cars. Jp

[@hammertimee777]

I totally agree with you on not needing to do cross hatches. I've learned many years ago that cross hatching doesn't matter and has made no improvements on my results. I think cross hatch matters for diminishing abrasives. But for non diminishing abrasives, we stop polishing once we reach our desired result. No need to over work the polish.

[@L8-APEX]

Man that lift is legit. I've been doing the whole lay down cardboard and get on the ground thing for forever. Love these videos btw, I learn something new every episode.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I love that thing!

[@rcobsesssed]

I’m definitely ready to rock an OG “suck it” t-shirt

[@xmreeves]

that was the best part of the video, haha

[@wallie004]

Haha I laughed out it loud

[@jayzayas3425]

Came to the comment section to say the same thing 😂

[@johnpaull135]

Loving this Matt especially after mine has been done and keeps making me smile and always look back when I leave my car. But hey I guess as you polish the trick is knowing when to stop on a section and keep moving on 👍 Great stuff love it thanks. Jp

[@Fusay34]

Do the calipers in acid green! It would work so well with the silverstone.

[@Ohjustyoshi]

Yes!

[@roscopeeco1]

same color as the calipers on porsche 916?

[@JEDIwards]

The heat difference between the 3" and 5" is due to the total friction applied to the surface. Due to the larger circumference, the 5" has 60% more outer edge pad speed than the 3", and therefore generates more heat. The correction is less because of the larger pressure spread across the larger pad, but the speed has more to do with heat generation than pressure does, especially with an orbital. On a rotary the pad size makes an even more significant impact, which is why a 1" nano on the rotary setting is actually very safe, because it's overall pad velocity is pretty low due to the small pad circumference.

[@jaywest4102]

Show discussions with Michele, is she having any input to what happens to “her” car?

[@fasteddie9877]

“Her “ car, that’s pretty funny 😁

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Nope.

[@L8-APEX]

Jay west check out his video when he first got the car of Matt giving the run down on parts hes ordering for the M5. Michele's reaction was priceless 😂

[@johnpaull135]

Powder Blue on the callipers would look cool and match the car colour well as it has that blue tinge in the paint 👍 Jp

[@cscorny]

That lift is just baller status lmao

[@poyhju2]

Completely agree with you on the IND parts Matt. I've ordered painted parts from them from Europe just because I know they are perfect every time.

[@bosoares]

Definitely re-do the calipers. I think any color will look better than stock. Even just some shiny black with the M logo. Metallic silver is pretty much the hardest color to match. I'd avoid repainting the front bumper unless you had to.

[@dancomber]

Brakes in PCCB Yellow could be cool!

[@DGH19]

Coming along nicely man. Re calipers seeing the yellow outlet and pressure washers behind you on the shelf I'd say yellow like your RS / M3 ...also maybe blue like the obsessed garage blue. Cheers

[@MikeInNorCal]

I can't get enough of these videos. 3 dislikes already? Man the bots are out in force today.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's because I worked my face off and built a dedicated home theater. Some people really don't like that.

[@cjburn2758]

That polishing cross hatch was good information, thanks.

[@MrGimpyguy]

Really enjoying this series on your, oops, your wife’s M5. Looking forward to the newest step every day.

[@pjfan173]

Anyone watching your channel who wouldn't give anything to have your setup to work on their car or cars is a liar.

[@aatch20]

iND is legit as it comes for BMW accessories. I had them custom paint my DCT knob to Interlagos Blue with the tri-stitched boot. Small detail that set the inside out from the rest

[@metalmeltdown31]

For blowing out the pads, would the tornador with a vacuum attachment work well? Have thought of the idea, but haven't seen any data on if it would work well for that.

[@roscopeeco1]

Same car and I am getting mine repainted. Have you gotten quotes? Also, how can we address the black hexagonal plastic piece that you took off on the front bumper. Can we spray that with paint? Mine is a little faded

[@thomaslang6187]

Hi Matt, silver metallic is the worst/most vhallenging color to match when re-painting. Even if you have the exact same paint (type and make), it makes a difference what pressure you use for the spray gun and the spray-distance. Then the clear can also slightly discolor the base paint. Also UV light changes slightly the color over time. It requires a good, very good painter who takes his time to match it perfectly. Normally adjacent panels - in your case Fender and Hood - might be painted (blended) as well. These would then provide the invisible blend from the new to the old color...this would be then the OG way 😉 BR Thomas.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Crap...

[@ItsRyan.]

Matt, Do you think it'd be more efficient cycling 3-4 pads at a time and then blowing all out at same time, instead of keep going outside every pass?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It would, but it would be damaging to the pads. The hook and loop on the blue backing plates for RUPES is pretty nasty.

[@bekiro28]

hey matt did you ever think having one of those sandblasting box for blowing pads inside the garage and not creating a mess

[@derekmunro5100]

I think you may have missed how Jim White uses a bucket to blow out his pads. He drilled a hole halfway down the bucket to where the air nozzle fits in. Then he takes a spray bottle of water and sprays the inside of the bucket before he blows the pad out and the compound sticks to the side of the bucket. You should try that and see if it works for you.

[@stevo21bulldogs]

I think the silver with gold caliper looks sleek and aggressive as is maybe with a bit brighter better gold power coat. Maybe an OG caliper vinyl?

[@dankubb]

What about having half a dozen of the same kinds of pads for each machine? Just rotate through all of them and then blow them out when you've used your last one? That'll save you some extra trips outside and more importantly keep you in the flow.

[@mikedonovan7947]

was hoping you'd get the painted roundels from IND...it's amazing just how much of an impact they make to the overall canvas.

[@johnwalters878]

Matt have you ever tried one of those Grit Guard pad washers ? It’s not the same as blowing out the pads as all the polish is gone, but they can be blown dry. I really liked it doing a mow down on old oxidized single stage Mercedes paint. I have also been looking for a dry pad device that has some kind of vacuum system in a bucket. 101 is very dusty.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's probably a really good idea to be used with something dusty.

[@Piglet6256]

I would do the calipers in a deep blue, nothing beats silver with blue. Green is to screamy and doest match silver well. About the heat it makes sense, the bigger the disc, the more friction per square inch, so more friction over the area the faster it heats up that area, since your apply more friction on a certain area. If that makes sense to you? Regarding the not expaining, its not a training video on how to use a polisher or how to polish, your showing the OG dial in of a new car as you call it, if we wanna know all about polishing from a to z, this is not that video offcourse. your just taking us through your process and showing us what thats like, stuff you use etc. For cleaning pads, you can liquid clean them aswell instead of blow them out using the Lake Country System 3000D Pad Washer which seems to work fine. Thats all i have to comment for this video, sorry to dissapoint :P

[@jtamajon]

Always enjoy your channel! Love to see the shop one day in person

[@95l4lfu]

Got to make it OG blue, that along with the silver/grey paint would make great brand identity.. & look sick bro.

[@bertlinsherbert5151]

Loving the m5 vids. Can you show how to recharge the air conditioning

[@markday6524]

Yes Porsche yellow calipers would be great.

[@Hornet2571]

Matt the only videos that I'd love to get your take on is fixing rock chips. Dealing with that on my STi. Did full decon and paint looks good, but these rock chips are killing me. Was looking at Dr. Colorchip and similiar brands..any advice or videos that I've missed?

[@Emily1963eh]

It is great to see some video of polishing the smaller intricate areas and what size polishers your using. Most videos focus on larger areas like the hood, doors ect.

[@05AcuraRSXtypeS]

How about a "Matt reads comments" video ala Jimmy Kimmel. I enjoy hearing your noodle through things, who knows, would probably be funny and educational.

[@mikevazquez1468]

Matt, what’s brand of the car lift

[@craigsledziewski3704]

Maybe try a small sand blast cabinet with no sand obviously.some have a vacuum mounted right to them and of course they have the air nozzle inside them

[@mikeyp2447]

Craig Sledziewski The Apex Detail set up!👍👍👍

[@mariodesmo]

Slime lime green calipers would look good.

[@L8-APEX]

I think so too. Kind of similar to the 918s having acid green calipers. Some cars it just works on.

[@Ohjustyoshi]

Do Porsche Acid Green on the calipers. I have it on my E90 and I love it!

[@D992]

Good idea to steam clean the brakes as per my recent comment and Iron X 👍🏼😎 Presently in Malta on holiday 😎😂

[@xmreeves]

I must have missed this in another video, are you coating or going with PL+845?

[@ObsessedGarage]

CSL/EXO

[@edwardramos9666]

I don't comment often but GREEN would be fantastic!

[@raceteker]

Just to throw my $.02 in, light blue (something akin to the prevost piping), would look great since the silver has blue undertones.

[@daleblake8922]

Tiffany blue callipers would be nice with the black and silver.

[@williamwatson6676]

well you've dropped the de-Grandpa quite a bit!!!! I still vote for changing the shark fin to match the other trim pieces Matt.

[@glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429]

extraction/blowing out pads - tornador has a vacuum attachment that might be a good solution

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

Isn't orbit size a factor as well?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Correct

[@sandmangti7040]

What is Wife’s favorite color? Consider for brakes.

[@Cisco8484]

You treat the plastic bits (bumper) the same as the steel? The steel areas will act as a heat-sink and draw heat out of the pad. The plastic areas will act like an insulator.

[@dashcamvigilante8739]

Why does the front bumper look so flat ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's just the camera angle.

[@nate7906]

You said you were going to show the wheels for the M5 :(

[@ObsessedGarage]

Oops... Coating video will be up tomorrow.

[@yeahman799]

The gold calipers look fantastic. I wouldn’t touch them. Most guys paint their calipers to look like the carbon ceramics, and you have them and want to get rid of it? You had the carbon ceramics on your f80 and you never complained.

[@Jeeper1378]

yeahman799 looks like faded puke yellow haha.

[@ObsessedGarage]

The puke yellow is pretty bad. We'll see after I get them cleaned up.

[@pjfan173]

Check out this tip on keeping the dust down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2ayqqaIa5tkldk The tip starts at 8:45

[@kenbode8806]

You should polish everything then install CF item then perfect polish

[@ralphralphin]

Matt, I would go back and ask the people you bought the car from what the deal is as im sure you bought the car as a 0 accident car. If the bumper was painted or replaced then who knows what was done. I looked at M5's when i bought my car and im pretty sure the underside of the bumpers were all painted.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Sometimes it's better not to know.

[@fasteddie9877]

Hey Mat, can you throw a pad on the mark 2 with the washer mod and take a temperature of the paint, and compare it to the mark 3 without the washer mod. I remember seeing in one of your videos were Jason said he don’t recommend the mod because it creates an air gap with the housing, and effects the cooling of the pad. I would like to see if it’s a big difference, thanks Ed

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not a bad idea.

[@thepaintslayer4821]

You probably already stated this in a previous video.. But this is my first time watching a detailing video.. But do you prefer the pneumatic mini or the corded mini.. Is there any power difference? Thinking on going to air because of the pneumatic hand sander from Rupes.. Love the vids man!!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes, the pneumatic is hard to explain, but it is amazing to use.

[@d.felixphoto2260]

Here at 784 views! Loving this project. The lime green accents would be great. Even maybe get the seatbelts done with lime green accents. Also a screen printing screen cleaning booth might be a good addition so you donut have to go outside to clean the pads. Have it all covered and spray it into a plastic sink. Just a thought

[@jtm1979]

Imo rotary wont cut any faster than long throw da unless you use big like 10" twisted woolpad. But say you put 5" rupes blue wool pad and there wont be much if at all difference except long throw will leave a lot better finish.

[@kenbode8806]

Sad that you don’t like designs that experts like Kevin Brown have created for cleaning out pads that they use for Concourse cars!

[@Jeeper1378]

“I dont know what to tell you there.... other than ... suck it” LOL We know were the dislikes came from :D

[@hazzard1776]

Sounds like your car not Michelle’s car 😂🤭😏

[@ruthless811]

So true

[@dave3952]

I’d say have the calipers striped down and powder coated, then coat them with some Gtechnic

[@rockhills]

I think you need to give Griot's Fast Correcting Cream an honest shot. Secondly, green calipers? What?! What have you done with Matt?! Lol

[@ObsessedGarage]

That is very similar in cut to Jescar, so it wouldn't be quite enough for this rock hard paint.

[@davidellis7305]

Wear some ear protection! 👂🏻 you will get deaf.

[@muhammadarfan4663]

He's only machine polishing for a couple of days so not really necessary. If he was doing this for a living then it's a different story. Plus Rupes machines are quite quiet. And he still may wear some ear protection when he isn't recording.

[@jaskanwarrandhawa6577]

i love silver cars they hide everything

[@TravisNewton1979]

That lift would make life a lot easier

[@kenbode8806]

You are not paying attention to the paint like you would your Porsche

[@ObsessedGarage]

Okay

[@jorgeasmr7386]

I say paint them bright yellow

[@ChuckWu72]

Do an M5 giveaway if I don’t win the M2.

Yeah, but like, get the current gen M5 and give that away. If you could just do that, that'd be great. THANKS!!

[@jtm1979]

First again!

[@TimStrange]

Do the calipers Tiffany blue.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Michele would like that.

[@Dortch3]

Over the last three months, I'm disappointed to see the paramount shift to Megs. Obviously they cut you a sweet-heart margin of a deal.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Why? Are you implying Meguire's not good? They are one of the most established and reputable brands in the polish, wax, and car-detail industry. It's not like he's using Turtle Wax.

[@ObsessedGarage]

What? I've been using M101 for spot treating for years. It sucks using it on the whole car. It's making a huge mess. Hyper Dressing has been in my cabinet for 10 years. Number 39 is new to me. I don't give a crap about APC. They are all similar.
