Good mechanic - NOT very good with detailing

I love how there's chunks of tanbark or something all over the applicator and in the wax too!!! The end explains it all....

Ah, Scotty is OK. I saw him use a Megs polisher in one video.

Yeah, I mean that might not be the greatest advice for here, but it's not bad advice for the masses. I wish he'd put the wax on a little thinner, though. And he put his absorber back in the tube like a good boy, I have a really old Meg's WW that came in a tube like that, that I always put it away in after I wash it.
 
Oh boy...

Although, teaching people to at least put a coat of wax on their paint saves the clearcoat from failing as soon. I'm at the dealerships/detail shops quite often and hear people complaining how their paint failed within 5 years! My first question, did you wax the vehicle...ever? The answer is 9/10 times the same...
 
He's a mechanic, not a detailer. For 99% of people who watch his videos, the information he gave is better than what most people probably do.
 
It was painful to watch, I think he's running out of topics.
 
I was also impressed at how clean he keeps the side of his house.
 
One of those guys that oversteps his expertise & stuck in HIS ways.......

:iagree:

He does use a quality car wash and a Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt, so his approach isn't bad.

For the person who does nothing, his advise and methods do add to the paints longevity. I would pick some of that debris from the applicator, wax can and apply the product a bit thinner or use it as a wipe-on wipe-off product to minimize damage to the surface.
 
He seems to be helping people try to learn the very basics. Does what he is doing wash and wax the car? Yes. Do I know better methods? Yes!!!!

I wouldn't spend my time negatively criticizing a guy with 300,000 youtube followers and LOTS of videos with GREAT information. Imagine what would happen if everyone started sharing their favorite, most informative video this guy makes, instead of just pissing on his lack of detailing knowledge.

Just my 2cents.
 
It may be cringe worthy to those of us with OCD, but most people don't care about swirls and scratches; for them clean and relatively shiny is good enough. That's why automatic car washes exist and stay in business.
 
The sound the wash mitt made was funny:D his applicator pad looked a lil dirty..
