Hey Matt , I’ve done kamikazes training and am a licensed applicator , If you can get your hands on kamikaze egoist and their specific wool pad and/or angel wax enigma all in one/redemption (to finish), I’m sure you would be blown away and convert over. - One drop of egoist is all that is needed or a 2x2 section and it will finish down like you have never seen . Also their wool pad instils a lot less heat into the panel compared to Microfiber -whilst having similar if not better cut. This means that your end product has much more clarity if done correctly. It’s night and day. With hard paints like Porsche and Ferrari I can one step with Egoist and a wool pad.

I’m a enthusiast and obsessed with keeping my BMW435i emasculate. Hope I can do with what detailing resources I have available or plan on purchasing from your shop. But, will most likely be done with my TORQ Orbital and products previously purchased and a gallon of Bead Maker that UPS will ship/deliver next week.

[@southtrunk]

Ron, you might try on a car bra to keep your BMW emasculate. just a thought.

[@narutobroken]

Someone get this man some earplugs

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not needed for this.

[@joshuahoover5791]

😂

[@AJRoche]

I think anything that blocks the majority of those higher pitched frequencies from coming in is fine. Might I suggest Apple AirPods? Yes. I will.

[@Patrick94GSR]

For people wondering about smaller pad being more aggressive, Larry Kosilla did a video a couple of months ago where he was polishing interior trim on a car center console, and talking about how often he had to blow out the pad. He showed some calculations as to why the 1” pad is much more aggressive than a normal 5” or 6” pad.

[@andrewchandler5775]

I don't even want to try to polish a car without a lift now.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Tell me about it. I'm ruined.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for sharing the cool new gear 👍🏻😎

[@youngblood23rb]

I see an OG 20+ minute documentary, with more tools than a Grainger Catalog.....I hit the thumbs up button, call me Crazy

[@Daniel_Madrid]

Keep 'em coming, building a playlist and these are super useful

[@jenduhaime]

Very cool tools but these just make me love my Rupes and nano DA polishers.

[@thomasebdrup]

One of your best series yet! Amazing to follow your channel. True inspiration! 💪

[@ObsessedGarage]

Sweet! Thanks for watching!

[@thijsvandevelde6056]

Smaller pad more agressive seems verry intuitive to me, lets say a 25mm disk , with a 8 mm throw moves the smaller aera more agressively than a 125mm pad that also moves 8mm , comppare it to sandik , a small piece moving it side to side will do more damagr than a whole sheet moving side to side

[@davemlz7589]

I foresee a rolling supply cart in your future 😇 Nice work Matt!

[@AJRoche]

That lift and the nano are the tools that are on my list now. They really would help with the lower areas we all hate to work on. I also need a more powerful polisher, but I’m 22.... and poor. Hahah. Thanks for the motivation!

[@ObsessedGarage]

It will come in time. Be patient and keep striving.

[@MegaEdwin2002]

Leerzame info en filmpjes,ik bekijk ze met veel plezier en steek er veel vanop Ed.

[@tomfanshawe6947]

Excellent job. Love the attention to detail and sharing everything with us. Just an idea and something I really find helps is to use noise cancelling headphones (such as Bose QC35s) whole polishing. 1) it’s nice to have music while labouring away, but 2) and most important is the reduction in noise which I find really reduces fatigue. If recording I’m sure you could wear them and just record with either the headphone mike (which will pipe your voice through so can hear yourself) or your normal one would work, just weird not hearing yourself. I suggest just because I find it really nice and a massive reduction in fatigue as noise is a massive contributor to fatigue.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I break those out occasionally. It make it more enjoyable when you are hammering away.

[@dom7098]

this wrx gets shinier snd shinier every single episode... before this series ends the paint is gonna be completely chrome

[@Audittr2108]

You’re much more thorough on this one than some of your past polish sessions. Getting tight to the edges, checking each section as you go -practically a White detail!

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's the lift, the air conditioning, and the tools. It makes it much easier to do this.

[@stevennaylor397]

Matt I keep telling myself I don’t need a nano I don’t need a nano. But edge work does look way more enjoyable with that tool. The right tools make everything easy and fun!

[@ObsessedGarage]

You need a Nano. I have 8 of them on the shelf, one with your name on it.

[@stevennaylor397]

If I come across the extra cash it will be bought. Just seems headlights and pillars will become so easy.

[@DrewDiddy7703]

Looks So nice doing the rockers and doors on the lift...DREAD polishing those areas in the driveway, the Same areas that need the most correction.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep...life changing!

[@MattT157]

We going to hear the story about how you decided to do this full time? Excited to see your business grow. Well done.

[@ObsessedGarage]

At some point, yes.

[@JUAN75001]

Can't wait to see the end result of your Dad's Subaru once it's done

[@mmarsha9]

Hey, love your videos man. Can’t help but notice how meticulous you are with your work. I see that you like to blow the pads clean every so often. I was wondering if you are possibly picking up any unwanted debris when you rest the claw tool on the lift and then use it to spread the material on the pad. I’m assuming you’re cleaning the ramp platform after you drive the vehicle on it? Thoughts?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, the ramp was clean. I wiped it down so I could lay my towels and tools on it.

[@ggarrison1087]

awesome video. fyi had to drop volume to 1 everytime the dentist drills were out. just being honest since the pneumatic stuff is new to the channel.

[@joshuahoover5791]

Ever thought of getting a snap on Epiq 84inch toolbox with the top hutch, and side lockers?

[@springfield03sniper]

TheLoopmeister That is kind of his point, I think. He only sells stuff that he uses. He has taken things off his website when he finds a better product.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's just stupid.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm not a big fan of Snap-On tool boxes. There is so much slop in the drawers, the lock mechanism is odd to me, and they don't offer a great organization system. Their tools are great, but I prefer a matte tool rather than polished. I'm likely going to be doing Moduline or Sonic cabinets here.

[@joshuahoover5791]

Just get sponsored by snap on and your good😂

[@johnwalters878]

New-Matt-ics stuff ;)

[@michaelgawlas3794]

How hot is the paint when you polishing?

[@michaelh5942]

Lhr 15 mark 2 or mille or LTA 125? What have more efficienzy?

[@tyg1434]

Do you ever work on the interior?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Rarely... I don't eat cheeseburgers in the car, so there isn't much to do.

[@Claypoool]

Obsessed Garage I love when you always say “eat cheeseburgers in the car,” it says so much in just one phrase!!!

[@genysmenrunner1677]

You are making a one step right?

[@benthomas3689]

I'm curious, why use air tools instead of a DA buffer? I feel like that just makes more work for you...

[@buckhorncortez]

Decreases his hobby cost by increasing the number of hours. The cost of the hobby is calculated as the dollars per hour of detailing pleasure.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Some of them are more work, but they do add another dimension of tool use that I like. Call me a poseur if you want, but I think they are super cool. If I think it's cool, I'll give it a whirl. I ain't scared of failing.

[@ColtJustice]

Cool pneumatics, but for me personally, I'd rather use the electrics. pneumatics are too noisy.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I like having both.

[@springfield03sniper]

Your dad has good taste in cars.

[@samgreaves1127]

After you blow out the pad, do you then need to prime the pad again or not?

[@Potzii85]

no because the pad is still soft and moist from priming in the beginning.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Bingo

[@tgradwell1]

What does blowing the pad out do/how often do you do it?

[@stevensparks19]

tgradwell1 it blows the mixture of spent compound/polish and paint residue out of the pad. Ideally done after every section you work. There’s a lot of ways to keep your foam pads clean while you work. You can use a pad brush, work a towel across the surface of the pad, and some companies (Optimum Polymer Technology and Lake Country) make pad washers you can use. I’ve never personally used a pad washer but it seems like the way that would keep your pad the cleanest while you work. Compressed air is very quick, and works very well. It’s pretty much necessary in my opinion if you like to use fiber pads. I generally just wipe the face of my pads with a towel because my air compressor is unbelievably cheap and loud.

[@tgradwell1]

Finick thank you sir, appreciate it

[@cobra454tim]

15:00 in the video I see you're dad has the same bottom door Cell as my Legacy, they collect a lot of dust and dirt there, funny how the WRX and Legacy are built the same mines just a fat WRX.

[@TomB1988]

It's like being at the dentist with that sound :p how much are you charging your Dad for this?

[@thijsvandevelde6056]

Tom Bryant why whould he charge his dad that works for him? Its his DAD

[@TomB1988]

I was just kidding.

[@joshuahoover5791]

What do you think of the kia stinger gt? AWD TT

[@Heinzworthy]

it got walked 3 times by a k04 mk6 at my local strip

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think it's cool that we have more choices. I wouldn't want one, but I'm all for it.

[@isuavingalaff]

looks like dad needs tyres..

[@DonDomel]

4:22 where is IPA or "silicone remover" liquid ? You fo not wipe out the paint with this ? Just MF ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

That's CarPro Eraser.

[@DonDomel]

ahh very good. sorry din't noticed it.

[@cobra454tim]

Wonder what the tool life is vs a elect motor D/A do you have to add tool oil before each use of the tool? I would assume long service life being air is cooling the tool with little heat.
