Like the setup. I also use the active 2.0 but without the DI. You're a loyal fan of Matt...even sporting the 5.11 shorts. Don't see many M8's - yours is beautiful!
Thanks for this video! It was super helpful in creating my setup on my channel, not the same budget as yours but I feel it was a great way to demonstrate proof of concept for future upgrades.
They were one of the things I loved about the car. I might like some of the other ones but I've yet to see them in person so didn't want to risk it since things can look so different in person
Awesome setup man! And beautiful M8. I just got an F97 competition in Marina Bay blue metallic and am finally getting back into serious car detailing and OG has been an invaluable source of information. I'm going the opposite route and building a detailing cart with a smaller hose reel and the active 2.0 washer and a smaller 2 stage spotless unit as our garage simply doesn't have the capacity for a nice wall mount solution. Cars with Keav has been helpful with that. Paint correction, wheel correction, polish and ceramic all over and on the wheels with PPF front bumper, headlights and a few other forward facing surfaces I feel have set me up for the best long-term protection and I've discovered has made drying the car with the ego blower and stubby nozzle SOOO much easier than my Tesla I had previously which was not ceramic coated. One thing I'd recommend you grab is a little roller stool to sit on while you clean the wheels. I picked up a little WEN roller for $35 on amazon and it's been great. My car has the 765M wheels which are WAY easier to clean than the 829M's but even still, it's a lot of bending over and scrubbing and brushing, etc. I still use the brush you mentioned that sprays water just because it can collapse so thin and get behind the calipers. I just accept that as a trade off for not having to dig back in there with my hands and a towel wrapped around a paint stirrer later.
Thanks. My friend has an F97 in MBB. Great car. And yea, much easier wheels. I have the stubby as well and wow is that thing loud in a garage! Definitely need some hearing protection for it. I ended up getting one of the small air cannons which works much better especially for the wheels as its more concentrated. I've also considered a stool for the wheels. Just a matter of whether or not I want it taking up the floor space in my garage (I know, its not a huge amount) all the time. I may consider it com spring though.
Bro I love your setup so I'm going to steal a couple of your moves for my active 2.0 setup. Just bought a black 540I m-sport package so detailing it is my hobby. I can spend the day detailing it with my music going. lol Thanks for posting this video. Cheer's!!
Hey, Great setup, quick question - is there a little give in the cox reel on both sides? On mine there’s small gaps where it rolls so it can slide back up against . I think this is how it was designed? Just curious, as I heard knocks when the equipment goes back and forth in these areas
Nice setup. You could have gone with the Kranzle 1622 TS with that 15 amp circuit. I'm leaning that direction myself since I have to wash in my driveway and want to do it early in the morning in the summers and don't want to disturb the neighbors.
Informative video, nice setup. Suggest some ear protection when using the blower. The daytona speed brush will get behind the calipers or you can pull the car up just a bit during the wash. How was the prevost piping to work with? I'm about to wall mount my active and debating on spending the money on the prevost or put something together from Home Depot.
Thanks for the comments. Agree on the hearing protection. On the Daytona speed brush, how is that different/better than the ones I showed at 13:58? It seems like I'd have the same issues I mentioned? I see they make a mini one also. The Prevost pipes were easy enough to work with. No real complaints on them. I suppose you could use regular PVC piping if you didn't mind it being a little less pretty.
@@SnareMan I think you were using the flat incredibrush? I've found the speed brush gets into tighter spaces. I don't like them generally because they spray the cleaner a bit when pulling them out but in a really tight situation they get between the caliper and wheel better than anything I've tried. It looks big but the bristles bend. I use the large one. I think OG sells one also ... EZ brush? Hope that helps!
@@johnd9272 Yea, that was my big issue with them, when you pull them out it flicks the stuff all over you. I already have a version of it that I stopped using for that reason.
Thanks Great Job ordered them wheel corners 10sec after I seen them thanks ordered lots from mat @OG I have the CAT pressure do you know if its same design just diff company???
the best product in this video... is the wheel guides under the tires to keep the pressure washer hose from getting caught up in the tire... once you have these and use them you will never wash a car without them...
@SnareMan so you have a drainage channel line in the floor or, do you mean your system drains to down to your basement 🤔 so you are in cold climate then do you wash your vehicle in the winter then still and is your set up with cold water only? I just got an estimate today for a line to be ruined to my garage for like 1700 my garage is insulated but it still gets cold in winter and I don't have any drains in my garage, such as a channel drain or any drain for that matter so I was told I should install a mini split or electric heaters and then I could warm the garage when I turn the line on I'm planing on insulating the water line that will come up from my basement to my garage! But mostly it's for summer spring fall..but winter presents it's challenge since I don't have a drainage system as of yet wondering how you do it in the winter appreciate your feed back!!
@@anthonyboria5738 I can drain the line down into my basement. There is a take off just after the water heater. At 11:07 we made that joint into a T joint so I can just drain it. I'd love to put a mini split in my garage, but the estimates I got were $8-10k which was a lot more than I wanted to spend. So my setup is pretty much also for Spring to Fall
@SnareMan yeah same here I was quoted 6000 for my mini split but mr cool has a diy one they keep advertising but idk a little bit of labor involved so I see you ran everything in tubing water lines not copper I'm gona check with four seasons if they can uliitze those instead and I'll have to show the plumber your videos and see if they can do the same drainage like yours because I'm assuming you have make sure no water freezes in the lines in winter if im correct biggest challenge year round detailing! Drainage is a must just can't keep the garage open and ice up the drive way plus just too cold to get it done right! I need to get connected a auto detailing shop on how to do all this properly that's my next step! But thanks for sharing can't wait till I get this all figure out! Dying to be able to keep my cars clean all year round I also find it therapeutic and enjoy it glad to have come around your channel and connect 😊
I used zip ties to secure my 2.0 to the shelf. No brackets or anything visible whatsoever.... If you flip the PW over there are several vent fins under there and are a perfect spot for a zip tie to grab onto and down through the shelf. Either way like the setup! 👍 I'll be honest, im not happy with how loud the 2.0 is. Time to save up for a Kranzle
Yeah I don't have anything for reference. I'm really curious how loud it is at my neighbor's house for instance. Am I annoying them or can they not really hear it? It seems loud for me being in the garage but I don't know what it is at a distance. But either way I'm stuck with my 15 amp outlet.
Would love to see a picture of your use of zip ties. I am installing my system now and want a way to secure the PW to the shelf. I can't imagine how you can zip tie it down and not see anything.
I don't know for sure. There is some gallon number. I guess it depends how much you use it (obviously) but i think for casual home use it would be a bunch.
Nice! I just finished setting up my system. Similar to yours except no CR Spotless. I'd like to install the brackets on my shelf. Where did you buy them? Are they stainless steel? Thanks
I really like your setup but I’ve noticed the same thing on all setups! No supporting clamps of the piping! It may not fail real soon but it will over time loosen. I firmly believe that with all the internal shaking of the pressure washer motor, grabbing the filler hose and just plain use of the system it will eventually have issues. Imagine an airplane or automobile installing hydraulic or fuel lines with no supporting clamps, bad plan.
I was smarter with the sizes back when I was going though it all but with several of them I just took the pieces to Home Depot to see which pipe pieces would fit. In some cases got one of the plumbing employees to help me. There's also a schematic somewhere on the OG website with all of the sizes and parts and pieces for it all which one at least help you know which sizes you need. I forget which of the product pages it was on. But I know I got that 90 degree part from Home Depot
about 35" from the edge of the bucket filler corner over to the edge of the pipe on the left side. 37" if you include the little bit extra that the inlet hose into the Active sticks out
I'm sorry but why wouldn't you just install a whole house filtration system. For three grand you can install the filter system for your whole house now your hard water issues are gone for the whole house not just your car

Thanks. Well, I was a 5.11 fan for a decade before I found Matt. Thought it was interesting when I saw him wearing them.
Thanks for this video! It was super helpful in creating my setup on my channel, not the same budget as yours but I feel it was a great way to demonstrate proof of concept for future upgrades.
Great Idea on the wood patch on the stud. I’ll probably steal the idea for mine! Get yourself a little detail cart to help yourself out.
Definitely give it a try. Things like that are why I made the video to help others. 🙂
where did you actually get the 90 degree connection coming off the pressure washer to the reel? Thanks!
Oh, found it below in comments
Those Beamer wheels are beautiful

Great set up. I put in almost the same exact system about 9 months ago. Love it. Thinking about getting his new OG vacuum.
I haven't seen the vacuum yet. I usually just send it bringing my dyson out from inside
just dump what's left in the foam cannon in your bucket when you add water to it 👍 amazing setup and car too great job!
Thanks!

I hear it draws 17amps when you put a foam cannon on it (according to Matt)
Where did you get the 90° piece for the Active outlet? That’s a slick solution.
Home Depot. I forget the exact sizes in and out thread sizes, but they are listed on the OG website.

@@SnareMan correct... but once discovered and used.. you will never wash a car without them.. they are game changers
Thank you for your response i appreciate that!
No problem. Good luck with the setup!
Do you have to have heat in your garage for winter to wash cars without pipes freezing. Don't know if you in cold climate..
I don't, but am able to drain the line down in to my basement for winter.

Really informative! Thanks so much for posting
You're welcome thanks for watching!
Are you able to share what those brackets you used on the shelf are called? What size or description? I would like to purchase for my setup now.
They were just some random L brackets from Home Depot. Nothing fancy.
How many wash's do you get before you have to re fill the spotless system?
I don't know for sure. There is some gallon number. I guess it depends how much you use it (obviously) but i think for casual home use it would be a bunch.
Nice! I just finished setting up my system. Similar to yours except no CR Spotless. I'd like to install the brackets on my shelf. Where did you buy them? Are they stainless steel? Thanks
I just picked them up at Home Depot. They are still of some kind I think.
Nice set up
What is the purpose of spotless filters see 19:13 the way your shut off valve are set.
He opened the valves so the water goes through the DI filters, and closed the bypass.
I see.. he wash with regular water and spotless water after. 👍

Its a reasonable thought.
Water softeners are different from deionizers. For car cleaning it’s di water, you wouldn’t want to drink that water.
