    Re: all the detailing product torture test videos on YT - what say you?

    Jimbo was one of first you tubers I watched, Him and Pan. My only problem with jimbo is that he won’t use product as directed.

    With pan at first was never met a product he didn’t like but then someone pointed out he just reviews products he likes... guess if you don’t got nothin nice to say.... he’s reviews pretty thorough and will take fans advice about tests.

    Back to jimbo. Look at his CG hydroslick/charge video’s. He applies to much and complained how difficult to remove (says apply thin) starts test right after with no cure time (2-3 hours no water 24 hours best). Both failed ASAP.

    How does this help anyone? No one chemical tortures their cars and most who use will follow directions. I like his personality and love the idea to find out if expensive stuffs worth it (he was one reason why I returned my maxshine polisher and bought a boss).

    Guy seems honest and I hope he does well but a test that doesn’t let the product set up and cure to perform at its best is asking for failure and really doesn’t help anyone......

    In contrast watch Autofanatics and Apex details reviews of hydroslick. They allow the product to work its magic like/love this product. Neither are chemical guys fans

    LOL he rarely reads directions, it seems like every video at least one person complains how he didn't apply a product right, or give it time to cure. And unlike a lot of YT'ers who just complain to complain, they tend to have valid gripes with his methods. His expensive vs cheap's a great idea, and when he does it right it's helpful. But he kind of just wings it sometimes which can really suck for a company when their product fails badly. But it was due to him doing everything wrong. People who aren't knowledgeable like us will take his findings as legit, improper technique be damned.

    When his tests are done right they're pretty good, and his general tips videos are pretty solid. Where as Pan seems like he'll shill out for any company who wants to send his products, maybe he's not, I don't know. But to me his videos come across like he's a sales man. He claims the Last Coat's a great product. I always see their informercial on YT so I'm a bit wary about the product lol. But, maybe it is legit.

    Is it just me or do others finding themselves fast forwarding through these torture test vids to just get to the end result? I enjoy Brian's channel but I really don't have time to watch the same solution get sprayed on a panel like 10 times. I fast forward to the end for the "down and dirty" lol

    Very few of these YT detailers interest me at all.

    A few products here and there? Okay, maybe.

    I have lurked here on AGO, read A TON, watched Mike's videos a million times, bought his books, joined the forum, read even MORE, and only then did I start to post.

    I have tried just about every type of product (TYPE of product, not every one from every brand).

    My point is this: I think I have a pretty good handle on what works, and what does not work as it pertains to MY needs.

    Most of these YT guys are merely another annoying commercial in my eyes, and a lot of them use horrible practices. JMO
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Some of their practices really raise my eyebrows, that’s for sure!
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
