Why don’t you 3D print a lock for that Mirka polisher’s trigger. Something like the stubby nozzle co does for the turbo button on the EGO
I appreciate all the work and effort you put into finding the perfect solution. I have thrown away more detailing products than I've used. Thanks for the time and effort put into finding the best stuff.
Matt….great review and commentary. Viewers can pick and choose, depending on their budget and workload. Thanks for doing the big job of culling and curating. 👍
Matt, this is a wonderful vid.
As someone that has been detailing off and on for 20 years, and constantly keeping up with new products, this was super informative.
I plan on going all in on detailing soon, and the tools were my only concern and you answered my questions.
Cordless options were a big question, especially as complete replacement to corded tools.
Keep up the good work brother 👏👍
Glad I could help. Changing to all battery powered polishers has really changed the game for me. I don't have to worry about dragging the cord around or work in these awkward angles to keep it out of the way.
@@ObsessedGarageMatt, Just curious if you would ever consider selling the brewster GT3. Happy to chat if at all interested. Jeff
I really like Shine Supply products. My favorite stuff so far.
Comment towards the 1in, I use the handheld rotary from millwaukee M12 attached to the Maxshine 1in rotary. Little bit of ingenuity and a lot better for two hands.
Thankyou for the video, really like your garage
PXE-80 is a great machine I agree with Matt, I don’t love it for 1” and don’t use it much as a 3”. Flex released a 2” backing plate which I love with Lake Country 2” SDO pads
If I had the money I would have this exact same set up. I laughed out loud when you broke out the quads 😂
Love to see it
Have you put out a video discussing which compounds you prefer for specific tasks? I.e. swirls versus 3000 grit sanding etc.
22:40 specd with special sprung cox for special hose. Checks out
OG spec hose must really be something else
Yes. The spring is different than a base model P series Cox hose. I had is set-up to be proper weighted for custom Continental F5 hose.
Matt, give Koch Chemie MSN a try for cleaning microfiber towels in the wash. iv been using it since may this year and have loved how soft and absorbent it makes the towels. i use 1oz of MSN for light loads and 2oz for heavy loads
I use Rags To Riches from P&S to clean my towels.

For how much I use a 3" machine, the Flex PXE80 is still perfect. The only time I use it in 1" mode is if I have the need to do some edge work where I have sufficient clearance (and I don't want to switch adapters on my Nano). That flex shaft adapter is perfect for polishing wheels (to either remove defects or abrade old coatings to re-coat). Speed 1 is all anyone should ever use with that rotary tool, and I've had very good luck just setting it on a cart so that I have two free hands.
The Mirka is nice and I love how smooth it seems to be, but I think 4000 rpm minimum speed is too fast and I can't get past the lack of a trigger lock. At 42 years old with a lot of physical labor as well as computer time over the years, my hands aren't going to react well to that. Not too mention the fatigue that sets in because your arm is locked up from squeezing the trigger. If they add a trigger lock, I might consider it someday.
Matt what is OG Spec for polishing glass? I have a Tesla Model Y with typical daily driver usage and the glass is fairly clean but with water spots even after a nice wash. Was thinking of getting Griot's Water Spot Remover to start but contemplating an eventual glass polish session.
I do like the PXE-80. The quick connect is great for switching pad/orbit sizes. But it’s not a replacement for the Rupes iBrid for tight areas. But I did pull the trigger for the Mirka as a dedicated 3”, I hope to get it next week. You can get by with a lot less and do exactly the same job. But at this point in my life, it’s all about the user experience. I trade money for ease of use, lol
Well said. Same here.
sold my PXE when i got the nano and the HLR. I just found adapters to make the rupes nano work with cones like the PXE does. Ill email you a link to them, they should be in the store.
Thanks man.
I'd say at bare minimum a set of six pads each is a great start. I thought it was going to be four but I changed my mind but like you mentioned, twelve would be even better! As mentioned before, two BigFoot tool is a must as well. I see a bottle of KCx GUF in the microfiber cabinet.. how has your user experience been with that product? I may pull the trigger during the TRC halloween sale soon.
Totally agree. The Koch Chemie GUF is pretty legit.
What do you use for vinyl wraps? The simple microfiber towel I’ve found scratch the wrap when polishing. I’ve been using the Eagle edgeless.
With vinyl wrap you need to use a polish made specifically for vinyl. A high pile like the Eagle Edgeless shouldn't be scratching.
@@ObsessedGarage yeah the Eagle isn’t what other options are there?
I laughed when you said that you need a third hand for the Flex PXE 80. As a former mechanic, I often said that I wish I had a third arm and hand when I was working on cars.
Nice video.
Fun video
hello how long does it take to have a garage equipped like yours including the lift?
Well...I'm 43 years old. I'm still chasing better everyday. The first garage I owned was in 2005, so I'm 18 years into it.
And how long construction and delivery time of tools and installation can be ready.
@@ObsessedGarage
Yeah I'm the same I find I'm using my milwaukee instead of the rupes
Do you have a favorite pad you use with the Sonax Perfect Finish
RUPES Yellow foam is my favorite on most paint systems.
I wonder what it is you’re doing different where you are experiencing that with megs 110? Larry AMMONYC swears by that combo and I think he’s been using that combo for a long time.
Sometimes people just find something that really works for the way they polish.
I have several systems I'm famaliar with, but I tend to stick to what works best for me.
For instance, I'm not a big fan of Sonax Perfect Finish because it dusts amd clogs up the pads. So I use something else. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with the Sonax, it's just that I've found a better option for me, like M205, M210, 3D ONE / AAT502, or what I mostly use, Optimum Hyper Polish.
A product need not be used by social media pros to work for John Q Public.
You need to try shinemate eb210
Shinemate is a Chinese imitation of Rupes.
Edgless 300 rather than 240
I have heard a Rupes 3" that has a bunch of hours on it, and it sounds like a roll of quarters got released in the dryer. It has since been sent to Rupes because of the racket compared to one with a few hours of use.
I mean, I use ibrid nano to clean my sneakers.

Well, Obsessed or not Obsessed? 🙂
Rupes can't be compared with Milwaukee
Why not? The Milwaukee is 95% of the way there and is cordless. The only thing the RUPES does better is that is has a little better counterweight balance. The Milwaukee transfers a bit more vibration through the machine into your hand.
That isn't true. You're assuming. You think Milwaukee can't design and build a polisher? Magic beans and fairydust isn't an ingredient used by Rupes.
Doubt Milwaukee will go the rabbit hole
Milwaukee has amazing battery system and makes great tools, and the DA is amazing. So yes it can br
@@johnevans715 Amazing has absolutely lost it's meaning.
My Mirka arrived a few hours ago, thanks again @obsessedgarage
