Trying Out Koch-Chemie On The EM1 Civic Si - Wash & Talk

The Civic needs a bath, so I thought I'd break out some of the Koch-Chemie stuff to test out on it. After using GSF again, I'm pretty sure it's the right soap for me and I'm going to get it into the OG store. I think the Civic is really enjoyable to wash - almost to the same level as my M3.

[@wgeffon]

My 16 year old daughter happen to be in the room when I was watching this. Specifically the part where you were saying to find out what you like to do and make that your passion /profession. She said “he’s just like you. He loves cars and he obviously loves what he does.” She knows my passion is my career. It opened up an opportunity to have one of those life talks with her about chasing passion and then never feeling like you ever have to work a day in your life. Good moment with a typical teenager who is basically quiet and doesn’t say much. Thanks.

[@mobeious]

Great life advice matt ... live life while you can not when your body and mind can't. People are so set on preparing for 40 years from now and not worrying about what they are missing today

That shirt is great with your normal and original saying "Now that's legit" Love it brother man Watching always from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷

I do appreciate the old school wash and talk. I can go for a late night wash/talk and rant...that would be really old school and original Mattie :)

[@pshannon68]

There is something therapeutic about the wash and talks. Matt i think you're hilarious, love the humor and honestly you have and bring to life. Keep it up!!

[@MrNoRulesz]

I started following you from a random wash & talk and have been enjoying every single episode ever since, i am learning something from youre wisdom and relaxing from the therapeutic washing

[@texasgangsta]

Man your set up is goals, your house, driveway, wash area and garage sheeesh

[@BIGGELATO]

Its crazy how I can related 1000% with you dude. Plus I really enjoyed sitting and listening through the video, felt like I was there while skimming through your website, saving everything into bookmarks till I can have my own garage with a wash bay and everything

me: comes to watch a wash This vide: life lesson

[@gflores7018]

I do like how you test different things and the let us know what to use , by trial an error. Thank you for your work.

[@mattcaser6581]

I enjoy these wash and talks from you because it's "unscripted Matt". Shoots from the hip, says what comes to mind, and if some folks get their feelings hurt, well tough, that's their problem. Besides, watching you wash a car inspires me to head to the garage and wash my truck. Keep them coming, you are one-of-a-kind, sir.

Golden era Honda therapy. I recommend getting a spare set of front fender liners to heat and mold. I just replaced my ITR front fender liners yesterday. Previous owners had it slammed and it rubbed through the plastic in the upper area. One side is discontinued so used only now. I was missing a lot of OEM clips and hardware too and I got those also. Feels good to reverse all the mods and damage owners did.

The rear calipers can be upgraded using the EP3 civic rear calipers which having bigger coverage on the rotor in the factory EM1 Rear caliper

good advice. also this civic is magnificent

Maybe it is my imagination, but you seem a lot happier in your videos these past few months.

Motorplast is my favourite product from Koch chemie at the moment.. hss good protective properties too, not just a dressing! the polishes are excellent too!

[@TheNuclearBolton]

3:00AM and listening to good ole Matt. Nothing feels better. I love the subtlety of washing cars, it’s so therapeutic. Btw, if you need a computer programmer for anything , let me know. I’m a programming major with a sprinkle of networking and e-commerce.

[@plorwax]

Matt, since you’re going all out on a custom funnel, you should get them made that actually screws into your mtm foam cannon and another one for your spray bottles. Like the Motivx oil funnels that specifically screws into engine oil caps. They don’t move around and liquid flows down much faster.

[@Falcostreetracer]

I use Koch-Chemie for about two years now, great products!

I had the chance to try Koch Chemie gsf just now. Everything You say about it is spot on!! It foams beautifully (I used 2 oz) and is very slick as car wash soap (I wasn’t exact… just dumped some in the bucket). Needless to say, I’ll be buying more of this fine product from Obsessed Garage!! I also love the tire cleaning brush that I bought from You along with the mini black wheel cleaning mitt. Everything I’ve bought from Obsessed Garage has been superb. Thanks, Matt! I hope You’re well. Jay

Carbon fiber hoods (and maybe other parts) are finished with a "gel coat" they are supposed to be sanded and painted by the customer or just leave them like that for racing applications. I have seen them with proper clear coat and looks a lot better (here in Chile), I presume you can do that over there with a lot better results.

[@RogueScum]

Just received my first Microfiber Madness incredipad in my order last week- simply. the. best. Also, you should have a caption in the video for shoe of the day :)

I still like these "shoot by yourself" vids from time to time Matt!! reminds me of the old OG days! now we just need a Wash in a thunderstorm vid LOL

Wish I was in the US, so I could enter to win this thing. Hands down the nicest civic I've ever seen and it's not even finished yet.

[@jdmfresh88]

I ordered a spoon CF Ek wing back in late March barely got it last Friday and the clear has all these swirls and chips/cracks I was a bit disappointed but after doing some research they recommend sanding it down and spraying high quality clear coat on it before install kinda ridiculous in my opinion since spoon charges soo much for Carbon parts you would think they would spray high quality clear and make sure it’s perfect before sending it out

[@samla2404]

Man, I love how you think and what you've achieved so far - Bravo to you sir. This is the perfect image where i'd love to see myself in 10 years or so. Question sir: Would you kindly brake down a plan of action on what to do to get to where you are. I'd really appreciate any feedback from you. Thaks and God Bless

Hi Matt thank you again for this "taking time Talking" session I enjoy every time because no rush and speech is well distillat. I wonder whats the side effect over ground and land. German products perform very well but with a lot of chemical blending.

Shoe placement? Not a bad idea at all, hehe! Reebok (owned by Adidas) are pretty vfm shoes, I wear them a lot! PS: The Civic is looking do damn good man! I wish the hood was painted but... yeah, I truly understand what you said about paint shops.

[@tj1470]

Having watched multiple videos that you've posted, I can safely say that I like how informative your videos are. You clearly do your research and have a passion for what you do. I bought my 2 latest pressure washers (Kranzle & Active 2.0) and snow foam cannons, purely due to your recommendation. What makes some of these videos unbearable is how snarky and negative you are. If you're doing what you love, why be a douche about it. I'm not trying to be mean or negative, just giving my honest opinion. Please don't alienate potential viewers or customers by being obnoxious. We get it, you know what you're doing and you've done a lot of research. You know the right people and you attend all the right events. I've noticed that when you have other people in your videos, your videos are completely different BUT when you're alone... man oh man, it's a bit much. You're better in this video. Some of the other videos I've had to either skip through much of the commentary or just skip to the conclusion part. Please don't take this in the wrong way because you really do know your stuff. The detailing space and car industry needs you and your knowledge. It's just a bit of constructive criticism. I don't mean any offence, just being honest Sir

Btw. if you‘re looking for an excellent spray sealant as a topper, check out ADBL Synthetic Spray Wax. - Very hydrophobic and durable - Nice self cleaning effect -Smells nice and a adds a little bit of slickness but it‘s not as slick as Bead Maker by far tbh.

You speak with passion and you are super transparent and I appreciate that. I love that you're "real" and down to Earth. You hit the nail on the head with your wealth management talk about 401k, saving money, doing what you love and the part I busted out laughing the most because I'm the same way, "if you're a car guy you tend to want things now and not have to wait for things". I bought my dream car 4 weeks ago, a 2017 BMW F80 M3 fully loaded competition. I did it now at 37 because I'm not about to wait until I'm old and "not cool" enough to drive what I love. I had an adventure driving 650 miles from Huntsville, AL to Jacksonville, FL Tom Bush Orange Park and purchased the vehicle. I visited Family in Daytona Beach and turned around on Sunday and headed back home. To be able to purchase that vehicle, enjoy life, make it an adventure sure was worth it.
