    Hopefully you guys like the video! It's basically 4-5 videos in one with tons of info on how to get your car clean!
    So we can avoid the same comments over and over, check the description for all the links! Also, yes, ChrisFish is me, and not an impostor. It is my second channel I will start this year for when I go fishing, which I love to do. It is my way of still "working" and not feeling bad about going out fishing instead of filming, editing, or answering comments. Now I can do both!
    Here is the detailing products I used: Ceramic Coating: avl.kg/ceramiccoating
    Compound: amzn.to/2UboLg7
    Polish: amzn.to/3adde5g
    Wax/Sealant: amzn.to/2U9nMwF
    Buffing Microfiber Pad: amzn.to/33K0NvC

      Assuming he makes just 1 dollar per 1000 views on average (in reality it's even more for views coming from western countries), he made as a bare minimum 6 thousand dollars on this video alone, but most likely at least 2 to 4 times as much, so upwards of 10 or even 20 thousand dollars...on just this video alone...and he'll constantly keep getting more views on this video for years and years to come, not including sponsors he gets from time to time, which adds even more. So while it is free to watch, he got more money on this single video, than people in my country get for 4 entire years on an average job, now look at how many views on his other videos he has and do the math. If he asked for money,for example to sell a book with this information, he would make far, far less, so this is a win-win for us as viewers and him as author.

    I'm so glad you did this by hand. 99% of youtube detailers seem to presume everyone has access to a DA polisher and lives in a house with a driveway and has access to mains power right next to their car. A lot different here in the UK, where you can struggle to park on the same road you live on lol.

However, you swooped in just in time. Seriously, THANK YOU.

Next thing you know, I'm doing absolutely everything on my car from changing water pumps to taking off the intake manifold and replacing heater pipes and coolant pipes. I saved at LEAST $1,500 in repair costs. If you really are stuck and don't know what's broken, take it to a shop to get it diagnosed. Should be less then $150.

    I just love your channel. I have a 2019 Ford F-150 that got damaged because it was under a portable garage with concrete blocks tied to the legs to hold it down in Tucson and the wind literally lifted the cover and dragged 2 of the concrete blocks over the truck. Horrible scratches and rub marks from the legs over the passenger side. I've been slowly working out the scratches with 3000 grit sandpaper and am about to move onto 5000 before doing the final compound and polish steps.
    From this video, I learned about the ceramic coating, which I am definitely going to buy and use to rejuvenate all the plastic pieces (the Tucson sun is brutal and faded the plastic quite a bit in just 3 years). I'm now in Oregon where the sun isn't nearly as brutal.
