You should try sonax ex04-06, its almost same polish but its much easier to work with DA machine and get better results. Perfect finish is rotary based polish and it has different working time and capability to finish.

[@coolnojicson4u]

Hey Matt, anytime i watch your video is like am in a detailing classroom. I have learn so much from you, all i can say is thank you...

[@ObsessedGarage]

Cool man!

[@jdelbrid]

Looks great Matt. I'm sure that your Dad is going to love it. Very nice of you to give back to the parents who gave a lot, in helping you with the business. Respect...

[@joshuahoover5791]

Matt, get a detail cart. I know you will hate to store it, but it will help so much.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I know...I know...

[@CanadianGearhead]

"In future HQ's, when I build them" Love that you refer to them as plural. Awesome stuff.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Yep...

[@zaceryhammond1144]

Obsessed Garage and now it’s a reality 👌👌

[@wernercollins1319]

interesting, priming makes sense to me, the thing i dont understand(even though i have it) is a grid guard, if you dont dunk the wash mitt all the way to the bottom what is the point, anyway i love the series.

[@ObsessedGarage]

For me it's when I leave the mitt in the bucket.

[@nyquil07na38]

Seen a vid on Dallas paint correction channel using pneumatic polisher. Seems to correct quickly, you ever tried one?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Isn't that what this entire video is about?

[@earley226]

Regarding priming the pad at the beginning, it looked like you were priming it as if it was a microfiber pad where you butter it all over. With the foam pads I've seen the Rupes guys say to apply about 4-5 dots, run it on the panel for 30 seconds (as shown) then apply just two dots from there.

[@kenlawton1531]

Subaru clear = soft AF. So easy to correct but so easy to swirl🤔

[@Antimatter.]

Awesome Matt! I love your Cam WOW face on the door @ 19:24 made me 😂

[@volpswagen_marco]

I know it’s not true, but it seems like you have so much time to the things you love. I’m loving this series Matt. Keep up the great work on dialing it in!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm building my life around passion. It's not as easy as it looks, but man it is awesome!

[@marcosantonocito8876]

I've used yellow pad on my red mini with sonax, only removed 50% , I switched to a meguires cutting pads with sonax , it's amazing the difference in results. Great video as always , I'm looking forward to seeing videos where the paint is much more challenging and what technique you use.

[@kylewilliams5219]

Matt, you could be a Nascar driver with all of the brand names you drop. The shop is looking awesome!

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

21:53 "Ooow...don't do that!" Classic 😂

[@trippymarv]

My combo for Subaru paint was Rupes Yellow Pad and Polish. Surprisingly easy to clean up even after a medium grade nanoscrub marring session during decon. I imagine it would have been a lot easier with perfect finish but its so hard to get 1 here where i live back early 2018. Enjoying the series! Keep it coming.

[@mohamedbendahib2032]

I loved ur compressed air setup (y) Nano polisher kit is so useful for the spots behind door's handles

[@Audittr2108]

Your set up there is insane! I’ve watched you install each part of it at OGHQ over the last few months so seeing in action at last is great. There are high end pro detailers that wish they had all those tools etc!

[@KantstandlamGarage]

I actually enjoy the long videos. Even an hour long is fine for us guys who are here to learn from you. Thanks for the series Matt.

[@Thkfast]

I understand this was only a test section, but jeez I can't see myself EVER doing a 10"x14" section at a time. I'm probably rushing it, but I do a door, a fender, a quarter, half the roof, half the deck lid, half the hood at a time with 4 drops on a yellow Rupes pad. Great series here!

[@masterwrong3110]

You are definitely no pro but I enjoy your videos more than the “pro” videos lol, I still see some gt350 videos. I haven’t finished that series yet.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Depends on your definition. I like my chances.

[@groundcontrol6876]

Sennheiser is the shit my bro! I got some HD 650’s that I love.

[@Shahzad-Khan]

They make some great cans.

[@sjohnson7735]

I have a pair as well. Wish i would have gone with the 700's though.

[@MaddDrummer101]

Taking notes for my '13 WRX great work Matt!

[@MikeEM1]

Love that color. That flake pops.

[@QantonisQ]

It's great to deal with soft paint if you correcting it but its way worse to deal with the protection that needs to have it in perfect condition when you drive the car daily, not having a garage etc. PS: Protect it with the Qtechniq EXO + Serum Light that you got recently (well, not that recent...). Waiting to hear your opinions about them compared to others.

[@_J_U_S_T_I_N_]

I'm loving this series. Can't wait til the next episode comes out. Great work Matt!

[@awzup57]

Similar thing happened with my WRX. Polished it out to about 90% with just a correcting polish and medium pad.

[@ericsanchez7388]

Thanks for hat Matt.

[@bigboydee24]

21:22 You wouldn't be disappointed with my 2008 Honda accord.

[@WeezyFbAby16148]

New to the polishing world. Any tips on ease of cleaning the pad without the advanced air compressor?

[@ObsessedGarage]

You can use a vacuum in reverse.

[@masaoke22]

Test spot became test panel... :D

[@mfran268]

I would love to get into polishing, but I don't want to practice on my own car lol.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... Go Dual Action, and it's hard to mess up.

[@olibaert747]

What is the size of this garage?

[@ObsessedGarage]

50' x 40'

[@ralphburrows8073]

You got lucky with the one step, it sure saved you a tun of time.

[@alfcappuccino]

That face is priceless hahhaha 19:22

[@BryceChristopherHodge]

Will I be hopelessly chasing my tail if I try to detail in my gravel driveway?

[@trainsoffinland651]

Idk, ive done it so.....

[@glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429]

been doing work at a bodyshop recently and one of the techs claim that all air compressors will blow out small amounts of oil when using a airgun , its the firs time I've ever heard that, any truth to this at all? I've never had any issues with any air compressor I've used

[@fleettech3570]

glyndonsprofessionaldetailer I have heard this also but like a really really small amount

[@buckhorncortez]

Not true if the system has a coalescing filter. The filter is designed specifically for taking out oils and residual moisture. The air flows from the inside of the filter element to the outside, and the contaminents collect on the fibers of the filter at crossover points, gradually growing larger and then drop into the bottom of the filter where they can be drained out. A high quality coalescing filter will take out compressor lube oils, residual cutting oils and pipe dope from the pipe joints, condensed moisture, carbonized oils and solutions of dissimilar oils down to 0.1 of a micron.

[@rushipatel4877]

Lubricated rotary screw air compressors mix oil with the intake air to lubricate the compressor's screws. They will spray a bit of oil along with water. Most body shops have separators to remove these before point of use.

[@2of2DCH]

Perfect Finish is fantastic! Love that stuff. I think in your series with Jason he mentioned not being a fan of, or seeing a need for, cross hatch passes with the buffer. Do you find yourself doin cross-hatch because of habit? Or simply like to? I'm not back-seat detailing, just idle curiosity. :) There is much want in me for a Rupes Nano, but just not enough need to justify the chunk of coin it commands. =/

[@ObsessedGarage]

For me, cross hatching keeps me organized.

[@emadallie3721]

19:13 man the car so shinny your nose super long dude lmfao

[@robertbrothen1460]

Where can a guy get that small polisher & pads you used around the door handle???

[@ObsessedGarage]

I have 5 of them in stock. www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/polishing/products/rupes-hr81ml-dlx-bigfoot-nano-with-ibrid-technology-long-neck-kit

[@Capp2015]

19:22 Why the long face Matt?

[@d913y]

Have you used optimum hyper compound?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I have. I prefer this process. Slow speed, no pressure, pad washer process is not for me.

[@d913y]

Obsessed Garage would you say it takes longer to get the same results with the optimum system?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think Optimum may be faster to get a decent result. Just a different way to do it.

[@sjohnson7735]

million dollar set up to do a 300$ job. he would have to detail 10,000 cars a year just to pay off that air compressor.

[@Siwulam]

Sunday morning with a cup of coffee watching swirls coming out is about relaxing as possible. Thanks for making the video Matt

[@dejedejsson]

Manufacturers of polish love "Prime the pad" I stopped when I saw that I used twice as much polish.

[@robroberts1473]

What are the odds Matt just one steps the car.................. Its Matt so iam saying very low :-)

[@fleettech3570]

You should change your polishing compound that one is not the best

[@bobbob-jw6zf]

Sonax Perfect Finish isn't a compound and there's a lot of professional detailers and diy'ers who would say it's one of, if not THE, best finishing polishes. .

[@Eric_Broome]

Perfect finish is amazing, I've tried many others and perfect finish is truly one of the best.

[@fleettech3570]

butthole pleasures it's not wrong it's just not the shine

[@DIRTYSANCHEZPSG]

Sonax is amazing from cutmax to perfect finish...

[@darrenwootton2007]

All the gear no idea. Painful to watch. I’m falling asleep.
