F10 M5 Detail Series: E10 - Caliper Cleaning & Coating

[@Maverik259]

As always your attention to detail is superb...but...Matt...how you let that rust stay inside the hub nut area surprised me after you steam cleaned the the plastic wheel liner. Lol. I recommend at least grinding/sanding that off all 4 corners and tossing some heavy duty grease in there. On the F15 X5s we’re having that rust leak out to the rims and get under the clear coats of the rims and hub center caps and cause them to oxidize and look awful. Just gave you more content as if you needed more I know. Lol

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Got to draw the line somewhere.

[@MrWhiteguy6]

It's all these little things that make keeping cars clean much more enjoyable

[@thepaintslayer4821]

Just a question.. Could you put a coating on the plastics in the wheel wells or would it get damages from all the dirt and stones? I've put on my platics behind the tires and it sees to hold up

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, but it's so darn dirty even after cleaning it, that the coating would adhere very well.

[@willjam465]

“Carbon ceramics are not so good with heat”...🤣. That was good.

[@Patrick94GSR]

whoa I didn't know M5's are double-wishbone front suspension. I thought all BMW's had McPherson struts up front. Cool!

[@donaldgreen9292]

I love a good struggle. I try to somewhat keep an all black truck, that is daily driven in the midwest and parked outside detailed. I personally don't care for bimmers, but the aftermarket is a lot wider for your cars than it is for my Ram in a performance aspect. I am wanting to upgrade to 6 piston front and 4 piston calipers rear. definitely going to need to upgrade before a cam and heads upgrade. anyways, that is awesome you are doing all that work for your wife.

[@L8-APEX]

Night and day difference. Btw the paint matched side markers look so nice

[@nicholasrubino5426]

Maybe Im missing something or just plain slow, but the Meguiars bottles have markings 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, and they say to add water first; assuming you fill with water to designated mark, but what line do you use as the "fill line" when diluting ???

[@ObsessedGarage]

I thought the same thing. It doesn't tell you the upper fill line.

[@nicholasrubino5426]

@@ObsessedGarage So when you make your diluted "Morman spec" Hyper Dressing bottles, where does it fill up to ? Or do you not use those markings?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I use a measuring cup. I mixed 50 gallons and bottled it afterward on the OG Spec stuff.

[@nicholasrubino5426]

@@ObsessedGarage Oh gotcha ! Thanks ! I spoke to Meguiars and they said the last line before it starts graduating to the top of the bottle.

[@supercarshunter2450]

Hey, I like your videos... I see you got the carbon ceramic brakes, just wanted to ask you if you could do a video of reviewing these brakes like a pros and cons video? Would appreciate it...

[@timkinley1779]

Not sure of many cons other than initial break-in and the cost. Matt touched on it some regarding his GT3.

[@ShahzadKhan-ww5mb]

I was wondering what cleaning products you can use on carbon ceramic brakes. I’ve read that you are not suppose to use wheel cleaners at all!?

[@QantonisQ]

That steamer did a really, really good job!

[@just_jeb]

Safety glasses might be cool when blowing out that caliper?... but then again my mom raised a punk.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I like the squint technique.

[@Antimatter.]

Damn Matt I hate when you call the calipers puke yellow , I have the same color on my M6 I believe the actual color is gold 😂 It’s not for everyone but I got more compliments on these than other cars I had with colored calipers , I do have gloss black wheels that make them pop more

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... They are hideous.

[@trapcracker]

Awesome video Matt! I know you just started carrying Meguiar’s APC, but I’ve found that American Detailer Garage F-Bomb is a lot more versatile, concentrated, and a better cleaner, not to mention that it doesn’t make you hack as bad, which is one reason I quit using D101. Keep it up man!

[@sccarguy]

Thanks for the lesson on cleaning and coating the calipers. Wouldn’t be a good idea to coat the felt liners with some type on fabric guard to help keep them cleaner ..

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's a losing battle to coat fender stuff.

[@jeffkim1271]

Matt, what are your thoughts on the Dupray Tosca steam cleaner you’re using? I’m considering purchasing one and wanted some feedback from OG. Does it meet your requirements? Or is there more to be had? Thanks!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm really liking it. I've only used it 3 times, but it works quite well.

[@plorwax]

Never thought bmw would go down to 1 piston brakes at the rears like audi does.

[@nicorallysport]

Have you ever tried meguiar's all season dressing ?. Is it good for interior plastics of wings? Would not it be better than meguiar's hyper dressing for rainy days for example? Because I am looking for good protection for outdoor plastics, I often put meguiar's ultimate black where ultimate protectant, but there are streaks after a rain! I am looking for a good hydrophobic product without streaks. Also, a question that has nothing to do, can optimum ONR serve as a drying aid? thank you in advance

[@ObsessedGarage]

I coat all plastics with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light.

[@adeelcyril3339]

Superb process Matt. Steam really makes a difference to get them really clean. Those gold colored calipers are really awful. What were the folks at BMW M thinking? I feel your itch to redo the color but that would be pretty cool to have it powder coated OG to a blue or even yellow like your E92 M3. Question is do you want to commit to this. I’m sure if you do, we can all benefit from this process.

[@Devon_Meadows]

Cars stop better when brakes are that clean.... it’s science 😉

[@ObsessedGarage]

Agreed!

[@PrimedEvil388]

Could you use the steamer in the felt lined inner liners?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I tried. It didn't do anything to them.

[@bertraminc9412]

There it is! Dupray Tosca! I called Dupray. Made in Italy. Their One steamer is all made in Eastern Europe somewhere.

[@Piglet6256]

doesnt your steam cleaner come with various accesoires? like a brush bit? I would have taken the calipers off and do a thorough cleaning on a table with the calipers taken apart, then do the inner fender cleaning which is then easier cos the caliper is gone, so more space and visible parts. But that would take 2 days haha, and you dont wanna spent that time as you said. you can also use break cleaner which cleans stuff well. But a brush attachment would be a smart idea, so you brush and steam at the same time :), anyways i have to say the calipers look good on the outside now!

[@nolanohana]

Matt have you ever considered having the underside of your cars cryodetailed? I’m sure you know of the technique, interested in your opinion. Thanks!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I hadn't heard of that one.

[@nolanohana]

Obsessed Garage Matt, check it out, hope you find it interesting and possibly could be an option to detail undercarriage/ drivetrain of your cars kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYLMgnqAiMStfKc

[@웅이보이]

Hey Matt Do can you one day do a full video on how to remove wheel from cars? Thanks

[@DirtDude117]

Has anyone else tried other steam cleaners for this? I'm looking at buying one for some home/automotive stuff. I'd like to do my brakes and subframes on my NSX

[@dannyisrael8700]

First. This cleanup, wow. So good

[@jimmyb1460]

I'd keep the OE colour - but if I had to change them, what about colour matching the Silverstone paint?

[@youngblood23rb]

Time to step your lighting game up Matt, I understand the insanity, I keep my wheel wells spotless, If I can see it I clean it and Hyperdress it

[@jeffkim1271]

Joe Karma Probably because hyperdressing is super cheap to use. I bought a gallon of it almost 2 years ago and have barely used 10% haha.

[@collinhopper7542]

Cleaning wheel wells is so easy once they have actually beed cleaned of build up. Shoot some foam and rinse.

[@rcobsesssed]

Great video, selfishly I would love you to re-paint or powdercoat those calipers so you can feel out the best OG way to do it. My calipers are in need but I cant get a answer I trust from anyone on exactly what to do to make it look OE.

[@RobertRyanThompson]

Those gold brakes are nice Matt, leave em.

[@1musicsearcher]

Love that steamer. Has Michelle driven this yet?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, she drove it home from Kentucky and for a few weeks until I started this process.

[@leesimpkins5234]

The calipers are not porous. They may be rough castings, but not porous.

[@ralphralphin]

Wow, I thought your M5 and my M2 had the same brakes but after watching this, Im left wondering why the rear brakes on the M5 are like that. The carbon Ceramic brake kit for the M2 matches all 4 brakes (6 piston up front and 4 piston rear) but the rear yellow ones on the M5 look totally different and look OEM and not like a carbon ceramic brake. I HATE the puke yellow color as well but im not opening up a can of worms just to make them look nicer. They stick out and i think that's why BMW made them that color.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Remember that these were the first CCBs developed for BMWs. They likely didn't have a caliper available at the time of development of the F10.

[@ralphralphin]

@@ObsessedGarage It really surprised me. I really thought the two cars had identical brakes, but the rear brakes are way different.I guess if they do the job that's the main thing.

Get the Hill injection steamer it’s much better, I had my Tosca for a week and knew the extra grand was worth it to get an injection steamer.

[@Dutch79]

Didn't know the F10 M5 had such a cheap/ugly 1-piston rear calipers. Normally M-cars of cars with M-brakes have nice 2-piston Brembo's in the rear.

[@SWAGURA]

BMW is greedy, you had to have to pay them for that

[@TheRealAnthony_real]

They are not as fragile ??!?! They are from fewking sugar !!! 28k miles on my f90 M5 and one disc pooped itself ! Holes everywhere ! No warranty ! £7k fronts only !!! Joke ! Never tracked !

I laughed. LOL

[@tbofinger1]

You need psychiatric help!!!

[@mrt9941]

This is beyond me... why would you spend such an amount of time on something we barely notice (especially all the other sides apart from the front face)... it’s going to get instant dirty... I love detailing and I keep my cars reaaal clean, but sometimes I see cars being more often cleaned than they are driven (the way they are meant to be driven, not just to go to the mall...). I take my 2 cars on track and I maintain them but I don’t get someone doing this level of cleaning on a car that is not a show car. Afterwards just put it in a damn museum and never touch it again otherwise you are good to do it all again

[@ObsessedGarage]

Anyone that says "on track" is a wanna be.

[@mrt9941]

Obsessed Garage LOL I am French and live in France so english is all but my mother tongue so say want you want, I take my cars ON TRACK and I’ve certainly been doing it for much longer than you (if you ever did). But then again that was not the point of my comment no need to be salty cause I think what you are doing is totally useless.
