My Full Wash Process: How to Wash a Car the OG Way
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2023
- I made this video specifically for the guests who stay at the Destination OG House in Helen and choose to borrow the car, but I figured I'd share it here with you all as some may find it useful. I go through step by step how I wash a car, and how I expect those who borrow the car to maintain it. The purpose of this is to give an opportunity to those who stay at the house an opportunity to use all of the stuff, enjoy a wash on a dialed in car, in a dialed in garage. Pretty darn amazing if you ask me!

I love Matt, but I think having this Airbnb is going to drive him crazy. Nobody is going to follow his instructions to his level of detail. It’s going to drive him crazy.
Yeah, not many people in this world have standards as high as his. Like many that watch this channel, I am one of the few that do have those standards. It’s kind of like torture because nobody thinks like you do or will do things to your expectations.
Wheel bucket part was kinda embarrassing
This place seems like a nice looking prison lol cant believe anybody that pays to do everything his way.
No way in hell people with good money will do any of this. They don’t have to. That’s the point of being rich.
Thats literally the complete opposite of why this video is here..@@xYuriTardidx
Somewhere, someone who is more obsessed than Matt is cringing at how he washes his car. Life is about perspective. lol
"what do you mean wash the towels, you gotta buy new ones each wash"
@@TheG60528XiJinPing Just one washpad? For the whole car? This guy is a scam! We all know you need one pad per panel and never re-use them. Haha!
I'm the kind of person who uses multiple 400+GSM edgeless towels to clean the exterior in my wash to prevent any contamination. 1 towel per panel, then wash with all the other towels in some P&S R2R (presoaked in some APC). Matt's 2-bucket way definitely is great and I do it myself time-to-time. But doesn't mean there aren't other sufficient ways of getting the job done for sure! All depends on how and who they learn from, right?
He’s likely referring to reaching under the side skirts and rear diffuser then relying on the rinse bucket to totally clean out the wash pad. But…….I’ve quit caring how other people wash. I just do me.
@@tpddetailscrand how he does the lower sections and brings the pad up to do the higher parts over and over. Lol. I would’ve used 1-2 mitts for the top and 1-2 for bottom.
As a detailed oriented, former military aviation maintenance specialist and aerospace engineer of 23 years, working for NASA, I’ve been providing technical instruction and teaching folks how to build spacecraft to the highest standards (which I help write) at my full time company and at community colleges, for a long time and I have to say, you don’t need to be an asshole and call people “idiot” or “moron” to get the point across. Explaining the deleterious or harmful consequences of not following the process, while engaging your audience in ways that truly resonate with them is probably going to win you more of those followers you’re hoping for. Not many desire to listen to abrasive angry dad voices for 45 minutes. Maybe explain why you love doing this, why you love the car and hope to keep it in its best condition for as long as possible. Trust me, I know where you’re coming from. It’s taken me years to remove the asshole from my speech. Hoping this helps.
Well said.
“People are freaking idiots “ tells you everything you need to know …..
They are fr though
Yes but not when you’re trying to get them to stay in your vacation rental house at over $1,000/night. As your customer, respectfully, I’ll leave your car wash shit however I want for $6,000 and you’ll say thank you for paying your mortgage.
@@user-dw4cv3xq5u Hanging on to a sense of entitlement, is for the simple-minded. Here's a thought.... do what you're supposed to do. This is the first time any vehicle has been available and it isn't available yet.
This house should be $3000 a night. People that stay here aren’t lazy.
@@ObsessedGarageyou should advertise this as a therapeutic car washing destinstion
I once had a nieghbor come over to talk to me while I was washing my car. He left shaking his head.
Thanks Matt!
@@xYuriTardidx
I blew his mind!
😆
Can’t wait for the follow up scolding video in a few months to see how the car was treated. Let’s hope it goes well.
Working for this guy would be a massive test of patience and ego. Obsession could be replaced with other less kind words given how acid his tongue is about what's "right." At the same time there is a lot of rational and focused specificity to his methods.
I would love to see a video of mat telling us how to use windshield wipers
I think this is going to cause Matt to lose sleep at night. I can imagine him watching the person washing on camera and freaking out.
This video makes my head spin. Nightmare.
The wash vids are always enjoyable. Matt worked hard to select the best tools for a proper job, did daunting research to find the ideal pressure washer GPM, nozzle selection, foam cannon etc. He openly shared his experience and expertise with the enthusiast community, I will always be appreciative to him and his team for that. He could have tried to sell his method(s), he's a quality human being. The fact that he expects borrowers of what he worked hard to build to have some consideration/respect for his belongings and methods (even if they're paying to be there) is completely reasonable.
Thanks for being a part of it!
do you sell the quick connect for there mtm foam cannon bottle@@ObsessedGarage
Does all of this and then closes the door by grabbing the glass, omg this is just pure comedy at this point
I guarantee you learned something from this video.
@@ObsessedGarage We are constantly learning but to much is too much 😅
I believe when you exchange money to use something it’s called “renting” not “borrowing”
It is simple semantics exercise. If I can shift the way people generally think and get them to think differently, then we can achieve an outcome that is indeed different and appeal to a certain subset of people that want something better. Renting a car is a junk experience.
This guy acts like he's doing people a favor lol this video made me lose respect honestly.
"Your exactly the type of degenerate I don't want boring my car"
Lol ok buddy ask your doctor to check your meds and don't beat your wife if she puts the fork on the wrong side of the plate
@@cheesedoodle2327seriously, this guy sucks. I'm obsessed about caring for my vintage cars too, but I realize not everyone thinks the way I do. That doesn't mean everyone is stupid or a moron for not doing things exactly as I expect them to.
Your thesis is - people who watch this channel are obsessed as you about their vehicles - like 10/10ths….. thus they will “borrow” your toys and treat them the same way you would. Stand by to be severely disappointed. Good news though - it will make some good content for YT listening to your epic rants about stupid and idiotic customers.
Try taking a house full of people. Everyone isn't like the one who watches the videos.
So somebody is going to pay $7,500 to rent the Helen mansion for a week, add another $1,500 to drive this car for week for a total of $9,000 and then will slave away for a day and a half cleaning this car to your specifications? This is beyond hilarious. I'd like to see a video of a guy doing this. Don't forget to clean the house to specs too. The grease on the outdoor grill needs to be scrubbed. For $9,000, I can go plant my ass in the sand at a Four Seasons Hotel.
I think the better idea would be to have someone near Helen trained to wash the car and pay them to come wash it after each guest. Trying to train 30 people is harder than just training one and paying them to do it right. Love the channel and store but I wouldn't rent the car or house just for the fear of not returning it to your standards. I feel like a lot that can afford to come like myself will want to bring kids there but afraid that even well behaved ones may mess something up
This is how I wash my own car. I can do this car in an hour easily. Most people who will stay there have watched the channel for a while and know the process. Also, you’re not putting 10 people up at the 4 seasons for a week with a private pool, theater etc. if you don’t get it, you don’t get it.
Obsessed with doing things perfect 😂
@@bryanachee7133literally just stayed in rosemary Beach with two other families for this price. Pool and ten feet from the beach. This is with all the Vrbo fees. I didn't have to worry about having the place spotless or being called an idiot after I left 😂
A day and a half? It's less than 2 hours, probably could be less. James, you are not the person who would be allowed to stay here, so enjoy your four seasons. You are beyond hilarious!
I have Matt to thank for my car washing process! Many years ago, I would use old terry cloth towels. Thanks to Matt, my process mimics his and the results speak for themselves! Cheers Matt! I admire your obsessive skills and this process has become my therapy!
Can't believe they left in Matt calling people idiots, nice lol
Pretty sure that’s what makes Matt great. Authenticity is at 100% haha
I was looking for a car wash video and got an episode of The Anal Retentive Chef
😂🤘
This video helped me see how I probably drive others crazy about how I like to do certain things. I’d be afraid I wouldn’t meet Matt’s standards, no matter how high my standards are, Matt’s are simply different.
Thanks Matt. Always appreciated.
I was just thinking you need a OG vacuum 2.0 that either has an on/off switch in the handle or where it has a total stop function like the pressure washers. Solid video!!
Figuring out how to convince my CA friends to visit destination OG. They can enjoy the house, and I can enjoy the ultra dialed-in garage/car. Don't worry, Matt, I got you.
Please leave your CA friends west of the Mississippi 🤣
Always love a good Matty rant on a Saturday afternoon 😎
Matt is going to have a live feed of that wash bay on every screen he owns, doing the "old man yells at cloud" meme :) look theres a certain level of narcissism that comes with this level of OCD and perfectionism. I get it, I don't have OCD, but I may have some narcissistic traits, but I usually catch myself and realize I'm not the best at everything and that doesn't automatically make everyone else an idiot if they are not also experts in my field(s).
I love his obsession. He reminds me a lot about myself. He's very passionate about using and preserving his proud possessions like i am.
Thanks Matt- hopefully one day I'll visit Destination OG, but for now I learned several more tips on washing my Cayman.
Im going to smuggle a bunch of Chemical Guys products in when i borrow the place. 😝
I can already picture the amateurs over spraying and hitting the Sonic cabinets and speakers for starters. The best of Maty rants are yet to come.
I’ve never seen a business owner so openly and aggressively hostile and condescending towards his own customers - in a marketing video that he chose to put on the internet, no less. Fascinating!
It's by design. This eliminates entitlement. There is way too much risk renting this car out to people that feel entitled.
This rant was almost as good as the old hoa rants. I’m looking forward to see if we can reach that level again
Give it a few days!
I love finding people with standards like mine 😄 Earned yourself a new subscriber
It's a bit unrealistic to assume that all people are going to be as OCD as someone who is diagnosed with OCD.
You don't need to be OCD to wash a car. Just follow instructions. However, not shrinking the label sizes by now, is holding on to a bad idea. I don't use the screws to hold down the buckets any longer. Couple gallons of water and they stay put, just fine. Plus, I rinse the buckets before and after each use, so I'm constantly removing them from the cart. The tightening screws are of no value to me.
@@timkinley1779
I was thinking the same thing. I just took the screws out as I don’t like anything extra that doesn’t serve a purpose to me.
@@timkinley1779totally agree…the labels should’ve been redesigned a long time ago. I never used the screws
@@RayNLA I went a step further and drilled holes through the corners of the cart base so the water drains out.
@@jaxbrewery I don't know if the labels are still made by inshanedesign. Shane is outta the country doing real estate. They are premium labels.
1500 bucks to drive that haha
Matt, I give you credit! I’m literally exactly like you, with how I do things and expect things to be. I could never let other random people use my stuff, like you do!
Incredible work.
amazing video
Wow, absolute dream garage for detailers or anyone meticulous with maintaining their vehicle. This was very educational and satisfying to watch. I appreciate and respect people who like to do things properly.
When you own a mansion the garage is the easy part
@@allenpearson9716 Not necessarily
You should put a small QR Code on the wall labeled HOW TO WASH near the wash bay. LoL No one will remember to watch this video when they are on vacation. Loved the vid tho!!!
Good idea!
If people are damaging the sticker and grit guard in the bucket, they are definitely going to damage the car at some point smh
Matt wash mitts are not working so i used some brillo pads from under the sink to get some bugs off the front end. Also my kid loves using crayons on the obssessed garage walls he wrote "we love you matt" in large orange crayon on the wall. Best vacation ever!!! Thx for a great trip!
Ps. Sorry about your wheel bucket!!!!😂
Amazing job, i like. Regards from México
i know a person with OCD when i see one because i am one with them, LOVE THAT GARAGE, maaan, i wish i have that same garage in the future.
He’s a bit condescending. calls his customers stupid for getting something stuck in a bucket. Why would someone subject themselves to this?
I absolutely LOVE THIS…!!! The way this was produced is PERFECT..washing for dummies..lol great job Matt
I’m gonna make my staff watch this video so they can wash cars properly 🤣
Only step I would add is foaming or rinseless spray before rinsing with water. If the car is dirty and you just hit with high pressure your rubbing dirt around that could scratch the paint. But then it’s like, where do you stop? Plus car is white so not too bad. Usually we use Gtechniq Citrus APC sprayed on the car and then rinse, or if the car is not too dirty, then ONR or McKees rinseless works great.
@@xYuriTardidxyeah that’s exactly it 🙄
Pro Tips: Wash the lower parts of the body (Door jams, rocker panels, diffuser) AFTER you wash the rest of the car. Even with your two bucket method (Where you barely rinse the wash rag), you are dragging dirt onto the hood, upper doors, and rear deck lid. Drain the hose BEFORE you put the “PP” end cap on. This will make rolling up the hose easier and you will have fresh water to wash the car with next time. Before you get out of the car, apply the parking brake. This will cause less strain on the transmission paw. Note how much the car rocked when you took your foot off the brake. NEVER throw your wash rag on the ground even after you are finished with the car wash. Why take a chance of adding abrasive dirt to it?
The garage setup is 🔥 . Wish to have a setup like that soon
That was the most entertaining video I have seen in YEARS. It was like watching MYSELF teaching my kids to wash their cars with my set up. LOL. Sheet rock? That garage should have vinyl covered walls and ceiling. That's more obsessive. Thanks for sharing.
Brings back memories of my dad teaching/berating me 😅
Can only imagine the fees for not putting a bottle back straight…. No thanks
Stumbled across this which has to be a parody, surely? Of whom or what I dont know, but it just has to be!
Watch more videos and you will see this is indeed not a parody but an instructional video.
@reviewcrewforyou nah, I'm not having it. This is a spin off from Ricky Gervais' The Office, or something 😂
Bro I was cracking up this was better than comedy
Matt after you’re done washing the car do you leave the garage door open for a little bit to let the moisture out or do you shut the door and use the mini split air conditioner?
Most of the time I leave the doors closed.
I mean I have no desire to do this while on vacation but I’m absolutely going to try this method when I detail my own car. Take it for what it is people. 🤷🏽♀️
Step #1 : Drive through car wash
Step #2: Receive a bill for the paint correction.
Step #3: see step #1
Step #4: Full Macco respray
Step #5: Enjoy beautiful paint
Step #6: Sell to Ed Bolian
Matt, not only a video how to, but also a written SOP on how to wash the car on the counter!
Washing the car is the easy part. Cleaning up and putting everything away is just something you don't want to do afterwards.
It should take no more than five minutes to put stuff back where you found it.
Great video again. At 32:23 you grab 2 towels for drying. I know the bulk grey drying towel. For the orange towel, what do you recommend for a vinyl wrap? I have used some of the basic 300 GSM towels and I think it scratches it. And my eagle edge losses its fluff after a few washes.
The Gyeon silk dryer
I love how detailed and particular you are about keeping everything nice! I’m the same way; it’s really hard with 3 rug rats running around my house, but I keep my Bimmer clean though!
Sorry it looks like you have some real lazy people that have stayed in the house - but that’s gonna happen. Unfortunately not everyone subscribes to “leave it better than you found it” methodology!
Matt, You are obsessed-beautiful job-logical and organized. PS. Don't tell Pan
Love your videos Matt. For the amount of times it takes me to detail my cars,if i rened your property i would have to hire someone to deal your car while enjoying the property.
Have always enjoyed the vids; started watching wayyy back with the white 911 cleaning videos. Matt - I bought the Ego for drying at your recommendation. I only had to do it once to realize it couldn't possibly be the best solution. I was so freaked out holding the damn thing over the car and was so worried about dropping it I never used it for that again. Instead I went and got my self a dedicated dyer - the BigBoi Blower Pro - and it is legitimately my favorite thing in a room full of specialized car car cleaning products (mostly purchased from OG). Hope to see you recommend it or a similar type product soon -- there's no questioning its superior to the Ego method. Thanks as always for the content!
No man...Big Boi stuff is not good. The EGO blower with a stubby is the best drying solution for me.
to each their own I suppose. I have absolutely no complaints about the BB stuff (beyond the hose getting dirty but that's cleanable). I just couldn't live with myself if for some reason I managed to drop a heavy ass Ego blower on my car while drying it. Btw, we still get plenty of use out of the Ego blower + stubby -- sits down in our pool shed and we use it to blow off the deck. Great for that! @@ObsessedGarage
Why do you like big boi over ego? I don't have either just curious?
Maybe its something you do when the car is a little bit dirtier but when I wash I always leave the bottom ten inches of the car and then go around the car again to get those bits as they are usually carrying a lot of heavy dirt. It helps preserve the paint.
Excellent video, and car! I have been using GYEON Quartz Wet Coat just before drying, and that product is put on the vehicle during rinse. I see your Drying Aid is done post-rinse. How does your OG product differ in terms of the end result? I can see one of the side benefits as you showed, using the Drying Aid almost like a speed detailer against the remaining [bug] spots, etc.
Very nice video! Love from the Netherlands
Do you have a pitched floor in your garage to drain moisture? Or have you ever found any mold or mildew under your Swisstrax floor tiles?
The garage is climit controlled.
Yes, water flows toward the drain. Tiles are channeled to allow for that. It will be pretty nasty under the tiles. I’ll pull out every so often and clean underneath.
Holy shit, this is like a ultimate OCD therapy for a car guy, love this content
I wish my wife understood car therapy in the garage.
When you have ocd no one else is going to do anything good enough. I find this myself but then I always say to my kids I wouldn't want them to be as fussy as me and don't want to pass my obsessive traits onto them as it really takes the fun out of things and is a horrid mental illness to have.
whats your opinion of using a bunch of high pile microfiber towels instead of a pad, I use 10+ to wash my car.
A lot of people do that. I like pads more, but I get the appeal.
Love the crazy, for those of us that know , we fully endorce and inforce these rules at home👍
Still very surprised the detail guards dirt lock has not been adopted yet.
No foam cannon mounts at Helen yet? Also very surprised
I'm here just to figure out how to wash my future Porsche... Common XRP LFG! Your attention to detail is amazing.
How upset would matt be if someone took the car to one of those gas station drive thru car washes? lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would send them the bill for me to correct the paint they screwed up.
Great Video, thanks..for all the tips
Matt is contageous. 😂 though i wont be renting, watching their vids and buying products off him is still sattisfying.
Me thinking (and hoping) this was a comedic sketch 😂
This should not take more than 2 hours. Washing the car like this is not work. It's therapy!
What make and brand Air Compressor is the that white one? Looks very interesting and modern.
Man, I suffer so bad of rotor rust after a wash. Literally by the time I wash the next wheel, there is rust forming. If I blow the rotor with my ego blower, I can watch rust form before my eyes. If I went as long as you went, they’d be fully rusted by then. The problem is the next time I brake, my wheels then look orange from the dust. I’ve tried Hyde’s rust serum, and it helps a little bit, but not great. Maybe it’s this florida hard reclaimed water?
Matt, have you tried the Detail Guardz Dirt Lock bucket insert? I've been using grit guards in my buckets for years but I just got one of the Dirt Lock inserts and the quality difference is huge and it has a better fit (thanks to the rubber bushings) in one of my buckets that is ever so slightly larger in diameter that my grit guard would move around in.
Yep, we just transitioned to them.
@@ObsessedGarage Ah cool. Looking forward to seeing what you think of them and if the extra add on pieces/products are worth it or not.
This was painful to watch. Man I thought I was OCD but quickly realize I'm not so bad.
He really needs to be on meds
Hi nice video! can i ask you where does the water go when you wash the car in the garage!
With Swisstrax, there are channels in the tile that allow it to flow through and follow the slope of the garage. We have it available here: www.obsessedgarage.com/products/swisstrax-ribtrax-pro-6-pack-10-32-sq-ft
Is there a drainage system for the water when washing inside? Is the floor under the tiles slanted?
There is a drain in the center of the bay.
Really need to ring out the wash mitt when entering the rinse bucket each time and also inspecting it for debris. Don’t see any of the social media detailers do this.
I'm loving this i'm the same as Mat BUT the only thing i am cringing about was that you put the washmitt on the ground
It’s on Swisstrax, so it’s good. 99% of the dirt is under the tile not on it.
I would be too scared to do the bottom then go to door panel I use another pad for bottom after I’ve done the top how offen do u wash ur car
New subscriber here! I want all of this in my garage!! Love this channel! Great job! Very motivating for me!
Nice!
Excellent video, I used to be like Matt or at least that's what people would say to me (OCD), but now I have learned to detach and relax, it's a car and it's going to get dirty, so do the best you can and move on.
I’d say the epitome of lightening up is allowing other people to borrow this car.
How does that floor work out for washing vehicles on? Definitely interested in doing my garage floor in that.
Foam..then rinse. then foam again for the contact wash with buckets
I thought you liked doing things the OCD right way , to prevent any possibility of scratching. just pressure washing dirt off a dry car could possibly scratch
.. so don't do it unless the surface is lubricated. that's like not using a drying aide when towel drying, it could cause a scratch but probably won't if you're using new clean drying towel.
Foaming twice only makes sense if using a pre-wash soap first. No matter what you do, you don’t prevent scratching. I clearly need to spend more time educating people on what obsessive compulsive disorder is.
I agree.
What the hell does “doing things the ocd right way” mean?
@555fourthstreet8 using every conceivably possible method to prevent swirls n scratches.
@@stephenlouden480 I see but what does ocd have to do with how you do that? Is that an actual method or type of wash process?
Did I miss the battery trickle set up? If so where in the video so I can go back thank you?
That’s in the next video.
This video is awesome! It’s like a SNL skit… except it’s not meant to be funny and Matt is 100% serious. 🤣😅😂
Ha, ha... Yep.
I don’t think no one will dare use the car if they’ve watched this video first LOL
Matt do you ever see yourself going away from the 2 bucket wash?
Probably not
Do you mind me asking who makes your drying aid?
B&B
That poor wheel bucket lol!
Can someone explain how the water drains thats now stuck under the mats and in the garage?
The tiles have channels in the bottom that allows water to run to the floor drain.
Is the outdoor wash bay still in use?
Yes, works via the switch of the valve lever to send water to the outside boom pole.
@@ObsessedGarage nice. I never see it in videos anymore
When is that productive boot coming for the OG spec spray gun?
Please make an OG product that stops rotors rusting in the wash process. Drives me nuts. Tried Hydes serum and Bilt Hamner ATOM-MAC, but neither really work.
Do you not run the water through the filters?
i think he does for rinsing
Any person here complaining was never going to pay to borrow this house or car and their opinion doesn't matter.
How the hell would you know that? Ass kisser.
