Hi,

It's been my experience that just any random Youtube channel is not a reliable source of product reviews or recommendations.
(For example, many clothing related channels are sponsored, so the person will include the product in the video. One can think of the whole video/review as a sponsored advertisement. So I don't consider it a neutral/unbiased source of information.)

I've recently started looking at auto detailing products, but I don't know if the same happens in this field also. So for auto detailing product reviews and information, I'd like to ask:

If you can recommend your best 2-3 unbiased/reliable Youtube channels please?

Thanks.

But Mike P isn't a "YT Influencer" All influencers are experts remember? And to pile on...it has to be true if you saw it on the interwebs/skynet!

I had my own experience with a particular YT influencer peddling his new product(s)...and I marred the crap out my car! The bright side of it was that it brought me to AGO and the rest is history!

+1 for Brian at Apex Detail. I really like Sandro (from Australia) and Jon (from UK) but their channel names escape my memory now. I think one is Forensic Detail.

I don’t watch his channel much, but I believe Sandros channel is Car Craft Detailing and Jon is Forensic Detailing.

The problem is many of the experts and people you’re looking to for this type of information on YouTube are too busy running a real business, working extremely hard on a daily basis and as business owners don’t really get to “punch in and out” and consequently aren’t going to be making a ton of videos. There’s so much more that goes on when the detailing ends and at the start of the next day, preparing for when the detailing begins.

There was a thread recently which asked us Forumers, which brands would we choose if we could only use 3 for all our detailing needs. Might be a good idea to look through the posts and see the most commonly named brands and look over reviews for them, whether here, google or YouTube. You may end up finding a few channels you like that way as well as I know that’s how I’ve found a couple I like.

If you could only use two or three product lines for all your detailing needs, what would you choose?
 
If I’m not mistaken Larry AmmoNYC was a wall street guy. Never an actual in business detailer. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just an observation

Billy, you watch Seinfeld ever?

When thinking about channels I actually didn’t remember AmmoNYC, a shame because he was one of the first I watched. You’re correct he did work on Wall Street before detailing full time.

That’s it, those are the ones. And Larry from AMMO NYC. Waxmode is also nice. And Auto Fanatic and Esoteric. I guess I do watch a bunch, LOL
 
ApexDetail, Waxmode, Forensic Detailing my 3 go to channel for anything detailing..
 
Pan the organizer! And apex! Angry Scott from Dallas paint use to be good but...I don’t know...he makes you feel stupid and that the whole industry is rigged!

First, I’d like to ask:
What is the color of your vehicle?

Interesting thread....


While I'm not a YouTube Influencer, I do have a lot of videos on the Autogeek YouTube Channel and I"m happy to say no matter what the topic or the content, I don't do as as someone said recently,

Wave my hands

Meaning, the kind of videos where the featured person is hyping (waving their hands), trying to draw attention to whatever it is they're featuring or trying to get you to focus on.


For the person that started this thread, here's one of the best videos I think Yancy and I have ever turned out, it shows all the basics for doing paint correction and sealing the paint with a wax.

You can use the same techniques I show in this video to use ANY orbital polisher. And of course, instead of applying a wax you can install any brand of ceramic coating to the paint simply by chemically stripping the paint using a Panel Wipe after the paint correction step and then of course, installing the coating.




Best of luck finding a YTC that works for you.
