Thoughts?!

I was just so stunned I was slow hitting the eject button
I hope nobody is making any YouTube money off that
On the other hand, those clowns are certainly creating future business for real detailers

Unfortunately this is why I continue to not be able to click detailing video links. Don't like the fact someone gets compensation even if I regret ever clicking on it...

I’m that way with tech videos
Say you have an iPhone question and see a link addressing the problem, I click on it, and the video is in the most heavily accented “English” imaginable and my old ears simply can’t make heads or tails of it
The info could be the best in the world but if I can’t translate it what’s the point
But they get their click fee

After 2:10 I was done. I have no words to describe what I’m thinking. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

Re: Unwatchable detail+
So I'm basically a backyard detailer, not a pro, here or on the moon but my God the basics aren't even rep'd here🫣
He's owned the car for that long and it's never had a deep cleaning, that alone is cringe worthy but then you state your process, no talk of chem/mech decon, not even a car wash because it's just going to get dusty from the polish, who cares...THERE'S ONE WAY TO DO THE JOB......THE RIGHT WAY️
As far as the products go, well, it's been proven that techniques are more important but let's be serious here, your working on THAT car with THOSE products and whoever THOSE guys are, then talk about taking all day (8 hrs)
I have a lowly Hyundai Elantra N and I can assure you I spent more than 8 hrs detailing my car for coating 1.5 yrs ago
I'm not sure if this was a commercial for his products or what but let's do the basics and stop telling people what the cars worth, your viewers aren't stupid

I would have never watched that video if you hadn't linked it simply because I don't care about him or his cars, although I have nothing against him at all, just not in my interest spectrum
I have seen his products in Walmart I think and just glossed over them and if the second clown is any part of their company "brain trust" then I think I have been right in ignoring them
I would assume they are just another re-bottled/re-branded mass market product and leave it at that
You may "just be a backyard detailer", but Jay Leno wishes his car looked as good as yours

I think you’re being a bit harsh.. @ :21 Jay says it hasn’t had a real cleaning in a long time. [so it has had a real cleaning since he’s owned it]
He also says “see if we can make it look almost as good as the day I got it”
Meaning that car must’ve been detailing to perfection on day 1.
-Therefore there was a day when that paint was smooth as glass. They mentioned that the paint is in really good condition and we can see very minor swirls. And since it’s spent the last 20yrs. inside Jay Lenos Garage it’s highly probable that it doesn’t need to be decontaminated.
There’s detailers who prep for polish by doing a waterless/rinseless so it’s not like it’s unheard of.
Jay Leno introduces the 2 “Clowns” as the “Brains” behind the Jay Leno brand of products. I think they deserve more credit than “clown” status even though 1 of them looks like Chris Farley.
Also, you may have taken more than 8hrs, but there’s 2 guys working on this car so technically that would be 16 man hours not 8hrs. by yourself.
Jay Leno products aren’t much different than something like Surf City, Poorboys, or any other brand with a small lineup of products. I don’t really see what the big deal is.
