Money2536's Recent M3 Maintenance Correction

I figured I would drop this here for detailing maniacs' future reference.

Great vids! Always like the content you post, very informative! Off topic, but how hard was the installation of your cabinets? I'm probably going to be ordering Sabers in a month or so for my garage.

They weren't bad. It took me about ten hours from start to finish. I split it up over several days.

Very cool, we are moving into a new house and I'm basing my garage off of yours but probably a smaller cabinet setup. I love what you have done.

Thanks man! Hit me up if you want to chat about the set-up. I'm always happy to talk garages. I'm actually working on building a nerd website to house all of my crazy stuff.

Thank's Money.

Would you recommend the Menzerna/colinite combo for BSM? Will it be a good deep shine for black?

And what about verticle scratches on the rubber trim, at the sides of the front windshield. Is there a rubber polish?

Good! I'd totally be up for reading up on stuff like that

P.S. I stayed up till 4am on Saturday watching the F80 detail in one go. Learned new things for sure!
P.S.S I really don't like detailing my cars. But it's a pain I'm willing to go through to keep them in good shape as I tend to keep them for a while.

Blackfire Wet Diamond has always been a favorite on black. I'd probably still prefer the PL/845 combo. The nice thing is that it's cheap enough to give it a shot.

One rubber gets scratched, there isn't much that you can do. I don't know of any way to polish rubber. Maybe try a light wetsanding? The follow-up with a trim dressing?

Money, took a few days, knocked out the vids, amazing! Thanks for doing this. So I'm about 3 bills deep into products for my YAS F82 I picked up in Aug. used a kit from AutoGeeks. It's so so.

Can you if you have time just throw together a quick list of must haves, things you flat out HAVE to buy in your opinion. Products like soaps waxes polishes and then maybe tools you can't live without i.e. Detailers paint tape the wheel brushes etc... Just a 2 min brain dump of stuff we need.

Thanks brother


Edit
Just found your channel, disregard, I have another of video to watch... Thanks Matt

Ha, I'm getting ready to do a full correction in my MW, and found your video on YouTube over the weekend. Nice job.

I would get the poly.

I actually have this bad boy on my Eley, but I'd probably get the Eley if I were you. My Goodyear is a beast, but it's super heavy.

Appreciate the advise, now it's a race. Will my car arrive first or the hoses and reels I just ordered?

Hey Money love your info! This may be a bit off topic but what do you think about paint protection film? Do you have any on your cars? Any tips for maintaining it?
