[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Thanks Patrick, cant see the point of all the work involved in producing the content unless you're going to be true to yourself and not sell everyone down the river. All these products cost us out of our hard earned cash so the least we can do is give an honest opinion. Appreciate you support mate👍

@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Totally agree with you there. Well said!

[@MilesDrive]

Best 'detailing content' vid of the year (Feb 23) ...your honest opinions. I really do think that too many brands are having their products 'reviewed' knowing that there won't be a bad word said...which in itself encourages the 'brand' not to improve, develop...and certainly rest on their laurels. Let's have a bit more honesty...indeed in these modern new age times some REAL reality! ...love your vids, Mart

cheers Andy, thats is high praise indeed from a real professional that has forgotten more than a lot of us on KZbin will ever know👍

what I love is people say I'm grumpy , but like you I'd rather say how I see it and if that offends others s*d em ! Think we all could do a clean out once a year maybe and shift what we don't use. It's one reason why I tried and got plenty of the part bottles off testers they sell at Waxstock. Some worked some were worse than bullsh*t but far far cheaper . Also , as you would hopefully agree , what you don't like others may love so the logic of let someone else try them should be applauded rather than go s*d it and bin the lot. Good job I'm not local or I'd be driving past often to see what my fellow grumpy ol s*d has left by his gate for others

More Spring Cleaning Martin!, only one I disagree with is the GT alpha wax , if it’s longevity you’re after it delivers but I know you didn’t clean the car it was applied to but really wish you’d give it another try It is a pain to work with but with a bit of time & patience it’s very good , totally agree on the IW stuff but better watch out , last time I commented on something of theirs I didn’t get along with I got a phone call threatening me 😐

Loved this, no nonsense video. Sometimes it feels as though producers of products try to get into our pockets because we are all looking for the next best thing o the market. I never bought in to graphene, not sure why though. I bought Garage therapy QD and Sigma in 5 litres as i kept buying in 500 ml, koch chemie glass cleaner and soft 99 fusso. If i keep returning to a product then it must be good and doing what it says,like you I've just had a good clearance of barely used

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Some love them but not my cup of tea for most of their products. Although I have kept a few

[@SparkleanAutos]

Brilliant Martin - a few surprises in there but every one of them honest! I must say, I personally get on very well with double speed wax and found it could last 5/6 months but thats not to say everyone will get the same results... The beauty of this hobby of ours is that we all have different experiences!! GT Alpha - well I've only used it once and it was just before Xmas so it's far too early to make any longevity comparisons but I wasn't a massive fan of the application... Some people say that slickness isn't important but to me there's nothing more important than user experience!... And £40 is definitely edging towards the high-end of the market. I'm a huge fan of GT products but I'm yet to be convinced by this wax

I knew my view on those two waxes would be controversial Mark but there is only one way to say it. 🤷‍♂️

[@peterowen4456]

Really interesting video. The Double Speed Wax thing is interesting. I gave a pot away a couple of years ago. Found it quite hard to use but it does seem to have a big fan base! Our shed is getting a bit full, not necessarily of detailing products but we don't have a garage. I've often mulled over a "minimalist" car care set up. Bloke who lives over the fence from me keeps his Audi Q7 in great shape. He uses AG Shampoo conditioner and a detail spray every second wash. He does wash it carefully though, pressure washer, mitt and two buckets. I think it's got some sort of dealer protection product on as well although if that is still a factor I don't know. He's had the car at least 3 years.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

I get lots of stick from Bilt Hamber fans who some take it personally if you give negative views 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@andywhite2930]

Some great honesty there Martin. It's why we watch you. Comes at a timely point when there's far too much BS going around from Suppliers and other reviews. IW taking the hit the most but that doesn't surprise me if I'm honest, an over hyped brand. Shame about the 2 waxes but fully understand they've just not worked for you and I know the GT one is Marmite amongst a few. Looking forward to seeing your shopping list. Maybe you should do a review video on reviewers 😂

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Now that's is a good idea Andy. How many honest reviewers who not only tell you how to apply but also give unbiased review after a few weeks do you think I would have on my shelf 🤣🤣.

[@HantsLeo]

You ruthless man! I've got two storage bins, the first is for stuff that I use regularly and the second is full of stuff that I keep for when I do the cars of friends/relatives. The thing is, I often find the stuff in the reserve bin, which is much older, often performs as well if not better than my newer stuff.

Hi Martin, it would be interesting to know how many different car care brands there are in the UK😱 It is puzzling when some people get great longevity from a product, and some don’t - sometimes I wonder if it is down to how a product reacts to the different clear coats used by manufacturers. Entertaining video!👍

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Loads of hype products in the market, they come with much fanfare, reviewers use them give them glowing reviews without real world durability testing. Products are an instant success as first time users get instant gratification (glossy detailing sprays, super hydrophobic waxes/sealants for example) further hyping up said product making it a success. Eventually people realise that it's no better (and often worse) than some less sexy product that's been around forever and silently go back to it! I've been guilty many many times of this, buying the sexy new product and now have enough stuff in my garage to last me 3 lifetimes! I need to have a good clear-out as you have Martin and stick to the good old plain jane products that I know work.

Some interesting comments and the big surprise at the end with a Garage Therapy product you don't like. I found their glass cleaner didn't live up to my standard but after watching David McBay who lives not far from me here near Glasgow having problems with the GT wax I gave it a body swerve also but that was around the time I came across Mitchell & King waxes which are now my go to products. The infinity wax products do not seem to be at the top of your list of likes you have maybe alienated your Scottish followers with that review. Graphene also seems to be low on your list of products. I wonder looking back if KZbinrs were as skeptical about Si02 when it first came out. I think there is some tweaking to be done with the formula for it to be accepted. My sources are telling me there are a couple of new trends in the not so distant future that sound interesting. I look forward to your reviews on the new products you will be ordering.

The GT wax from the video's ive seen is a bit of a pain. Being a wax whore it perked my interest when i seen it and had a view to buy it but then the videos started coming out. Having used a hundred or 2 waxes i could probably get it to work for me but there's waxes on the market which are ridiculously easy to use with amazingly results such as Gyeon Q2 Wax which yes, it has a 30 mins cure time so potential to have surface contaminants leaving it that long but this can be managed. Whilst its curing you can get round the glass and tyres and pack away. Maybe if the GT wax is updated I may jump in, bit of a backtrack there though mate. BH was a big suprise, incredible wax that is even without silly claims.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Hi, yep I gave the Alpha away to a subscriber . Personally I think it difficult to beat the Soft99 range of waxes for ease of application, value for money and performance. However if you are a wax man then check out Mitchell & King. A family run business in Scotland that make top quality products. I have a number of their waxes and really like them. Check them out

[@jt-2286]

@ObsessiveCarDetailer I'm a fan of Soft99 waxes. I've tried a few M&K waxes and I didn't think they were anything special. I don't believe for 1 minute that all 51 waxes plus all the other waxes differ from each other much. I don't have any interest in the brand and prefer Zymöl for my more expensive brand. The next wax purchase is going to be ODK Revere ready for the winter.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

@@jt-2286 be interested to know your thoughts on it

[@jt-2286]

@ObsessiveCarDetailer I've already used Revere mate, massively strong wax. Cure time is short so pretty much on and off. It's a wax where the gloss grows as it cures more. It's expensive for a 100ml pot to be fair but worth it. If I get it soon I'll send you a 25ml to try.

[@paulquickmire4140]

Lovely to see you on screen again Martin. It's like the old saying, you can please some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time!!!! If it's not working then fair play to you, give it to someone who will use it. At the end of the day you've always said "this how I do it and what I think" so what if you put people's nose out of joint tuff 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. You only have so much room so why not have spring clean and keep the ones that you like and that actually work.

I love your videos no bull shit just say as it is 👍 do you use any quick spray on sealants. If so what would you recommend. At the moment I'm using sigma V2 witch is great but sometimes it just takes ages doing your car. I was using Autoglym Poloer seal witch I found good. But is there anything better?

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

The two favourite spray on rinse off products on my shelf are Gyeon Wet Coat & CarPro Hydro2 Light. Cant choose between them and my go to products when its cold and I just want the job done and get in the warm

[@BarryCoombs1]

I’ve gone back to Polar Seal for a spray on rinse off product. Quicker to apply than Wet Coat and lasts just as long. Wet Coat just doesn’t cut it for me and think you’ll struggle to beat Polar Seal for what does especially this time of year.

Damn car detailing products in UK are so expensive.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

yep, spot on. Most detailing tools are twice as much as soon as the detailing industry sell them and buckets are a prime example. The profit margin of the products must be massive

[@roger4880]

Brill Martin, honest no non-sense bullshit bucket 🤣 If only all detail channels were like this. Learnt more from this than from The Advertiser or other 'review' guys. Bought Car Chem 1900:1 after seeing others rave about it, but its just average and too thick. Ol faithful autoglym shampoo far easier to use and better result as with all their products.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Thanks Roger, cant go wrong with Autoglym mate.

[@christopherbutts3346]

Martin my good man I would like an unbiased opinion from you talking of stuff to chuck out. A few weeks time I will be deconing the beemer with GT Decon wash,thru the foam gun then wash bucket,decontaminate tar,brake metal ect So I’m left with a complete clean car.Now I know you have a garage load of gear that you kindly try out for us on the channel but if you didn’t have the channel anymore and you had just your and the wife’s car from complete scratch what products would you use From polish to end? I was thinking autoglym resin polish,hd wax followed by GT sigma2,only said autoglym cause I’m trying to get rid But anyway what would you use Sorry if you have lost the will to live😂 Cheers Chris

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Good evening Chris, as you are trying to use up your products I don't think you can go far wrong with your choice. Personally I would use a Soft99 wax like King of Gloss instead of Autoglym HD but as you have it and its not cheap then the car will look stunning. Would then use GT 2QD after every wash and Sigma after every 3rd. Message me some pictures on instagram when its done😎

[@christopherbutts3346]

@@ObsessiveCarDetailer evening Martin Thanks you very much for taking the time to reply Every year would you strip everything back and go thru the motions again re polish ect Or would you leave the polish bit out and just wax and then the sigma? Oh Martin modern day choice,far to many methinks gone are the days T cut,turtle wax or autoglym I even once upgraded so I thought with a tin of Mer! Anyway your view of the first bit of my question would be helpful Cheers mate👍

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

@@christopherbutts3346 hello mate, I have had my x3 for 5 years and never machine polished it. I think you should polish your car when it’s needed unless it’s a show car. I have however frequently chemically decon the car although if it’s always well protected then I don’t think that’s essential. The big issue with KZbin for me is you get so called experts telling us what should be done in the perfect world and they lead you to believe it’s the only way to look after your car. I don’t believe there is such a thing as detailing experts just some with more experience. I’m a very firm believer that we should listen to these “experts” and then take what we want from it to suit ourselves. Any help???
