what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?


This machine looks sweet.

I watched another video of Remy talking about how you don't need to run this polisher on high speeds, never thought of that before. The more i polish the more i'm tending to go full speed on my 3 DA's. Never needed to go on 6 with my G15 very often however and even if i had too i would be getting some hear protection...

It as a 6.8mm throw. The flex as an 8mm.

The new Liquid Element cordless looks very good too with its torque.

Here's the other video - he's running the machine on a very low speed, looks effortless and quiet.

 
I was doing research on "paid promotion" claims in videos and noticed in some videos they appear on screen in the video (not very long) at the beginning so could easily be missed.

I also came across a video about Pan the Advertiser from 4 years back created by Scott and then Pan's response. I did not realize he was creating controversy previously. In his rebuttal video, Pan did not confirm or deny he was asking $10k+ for the proposed review.

I read in the comments where they put a disclaimer in that he checked with them first before attempting the "repair", and you should check before attempting this yourself. I'm sure that's so they can tell you if you break it, it's completely on you, it would be very easy to pinch a wire putting it back together.

You missed the Pan wars? Fun times. Scott and Pan seemed to be full of $h!t. Had already stopped watching pan and stopped watching Scott then too…

Pay is so full of it, his eyes are brown. Watching that and others was like watching a bad sitcom and they're laughing all the way to the bank. It's partly the reason I don't watch anything from the THOR circle jerk collective.

I have watched a couple of the ADS generated videos recently and liked them. They are more "straight ahead" in that they show how to use the product, without the extra hype and BS. I may have to purchase some of their products...

Idrosave,
Anybody use Labrocosmetica Idrosave as a drying aid or a quick detailer? If so what dilution ratio and what were the results?

This video is the start of series, which will progress from the decon washing, to inspection and polishing, to the protection of each surface. Bradley is pretty cut and dry, so he tends to be forthright with why they have made certain product decisions, sometimes in comparison to other companies. I also get the feeling he is not totally comfortable in front of the camera, so seeing him put that aside is telling.

 
Pan appears different to me compared to the rest of YT crowd with more the focus on himself and his followers. The number of subscribers seems to mean a lot to him although his individual videos never get the same level of views. I do not see that in other YT personalities with others at THOR. For example, some like Eddie, etc that get hate just call them haters and move on but Pan seems to take it much more personally online such as the response to Scott's comments and later after the video flap.

This makes him an easy target for some.
 
Bunky, I kind of think a lot of these people, probably Pan being one of them, started off their YouTube channel as a lark, a way to share or be comfortable with their OCD, and then all the YT stuff spiraled and people started making money at it, and good for them I guess. I mean, he's Pan the Organizer, and I think his early stuff was how to be organized, not how to detail your car. So I kind of understand why he takes the hate personally.

The obsessed guy started out as just a whiney Porsche owner in his fancy garage, complaining about the crappy detailing products he bought and musing if he could make money on YouTube by whining in his garage, and then he got fired from his financial consultant job for the ethical violation of making money on YouTube, so he decided to do it full time...which of course then led to his current occupation.

I'm sure he's scrubbed those early videos from his channel, but the ethics violation was public record.
 
I thought Pan once mentioned he was educated in Chemical Engineering or something similar. I refuse to watch Pan do anything. He has shown his true colors and he only cares about Pan. He is sleazy.

I don't remember that, I remember him saying he was a graphic artist or something along those lines. I haven't watched any of his videos in years.

I've been seeing people on their staff in videos more than Bradley now that you mention it. I think your observation is right. Post a message to him on social media or via email and he's extremely nice and seems almost outgoing. The two of them DJ and Bradley seem to have their goals under control and rarely divert from them.

I was looking for info on a specific Gyeon product and saw this and was intrigued


Go to 51 seconds into the video and see what he has to say about using the super soft makeup brushes on ANY vehicle surface

I have been using various brands of these brushes for quite some time and have never seen any damage, even on gauge plastic and piano black

Thoughts?
 
I have never used brushes like that on interior and see no advantage especially those that lather up the surface while using it. It looks like a gimmick in marketing as if pampering. I will use on deep grille pockets where hard to get with mf.

I use them for an initial dusting of nav screens and gauge cluster plastic if I can't get my horsehair vacuum dusting brush in there

I originally though they would be great for badges and stuff but I quickly came to the conclusion they did next to nothing on exterior stuff, which is why I question his conclusion

If anything, I think they are TOO gentle for most cleaning

I use them dry on the interior stuff that I use, but maybe I better take a step back and see if they actually ARE doing damage and I just always assumed there couldn't be any

🤷‍♂️

I remember a couple of years ago, seeing Pay and another YTer working the Turtle Wax booth at SEMA, wearing their Turtle Wax logo polos. Yeah, they are not getting paid nor biased in their "reviews," err, infomercials.

That is what I have said about Yvan for years. He’s loyal to whoever buys him his polo shirts and their stuff is the best and the rest is garbage

Granted he’s buying his own shirts now but the damage to his credibility is done in my mind

Pan is just as bad

I lost all respect for Yvan when, after years of hawking "Optimum Synergy" he quit (or got fired) and then proceeded to hawk any and all products that came his way, prior to DIY.

I have been struggling with this piano black valence panel on one of my cars, that seems to trap all kinds of crap behind it...just the other day I think I figured out that it's just below the lip of the decklid and that any aerodynamic or water flow just sends everything that's going over the car down behind it.

So the piano black is all marred up around the bottom where the crap comes out, and I'm really not sure whether I did that, or whether they did it at the dealer, since it was a leftover and was sitting in the showroom when I bought it, so may have gotten washed a lot of times there. If it was me that did the marring, I don't know what brush I used to do it.

Regarding the video, it was hard for me to discern an un-marred area under his tape, so I'm not sure what he was proving.
 
Here is an example of why on earth would you put piano black there, nothing gets dirtier than the rear of a hatchback SUV

Having said that, the piano black panels where the front and rear window panels meet is pretty damn tough on both the Lexus cars
