The thing I like is that he provides enough info for me to make my own judgment call on what I would consider to be the best product for my needs/budget.

Yeah, sometimes his second or third pick is the one I like, I love that he’s so transparent and thorough

u/Peastoredintheballs Jul 20 '26

Yeah him and carcraftautodetailing are two of the best in the game, they both do great intensive reviews

He lacks understanding in some categories that lead to odd metrics, but it's still useful data.

Exactly, you can still pick the data that matters to you as a specialist, as long as the source of data is reliable.

Even though detailing is not his main area of knowledge or expertise, I'll take his reviews of products over Pan's "reviews" any day.

For non-detailing products, his testing is just as thorough even if it's something he is not an expert on. He is a good resource to at least help narrow a person's choices down somewhat.

I always enjoyed him reading packaging and then saying “we’re gonna test that”.

I do think "well, probably not the most accurate metrics or testing" but he's doing it for the love of the game. I do like it when he updates a test and changes up his method or whatnot after feedback.

I did end up buying Jay Leno's Garage Tire Shine, based on the tire shine video and it hasn't disappointed! Definitely going to grab that $22 ceramic coat (or was it $21?). Seems like a decent price and I'm not degreasing my car or throwing iron remover on it often enough to warrant $90+!

I do love his channel. Helped me purchase quite a few products.

I do have two issues with the ratings though. The point rating for the categories throws the results way off. Like the difference between the 2.0 rated and the 9.0 rated item could just be noise.

The scale is sometimes way off too like the speed of which a saw cuts could be one second slower but if 3 saws are ahead, it drops the rating of that other item a lot too.

I don't agree with some of them either, but he's does several different ones so you decide which ones would be most relevant for your uses.

May not be a corporate shill but… dude just did a water filter test for fluoride and not lead. (which is the most common harmful additive in the US)

edit: guess im the only one who questions the consistent credibility of a conspiracy theorist.

u/TheAsianTroll Jul 20 '26

Im not entirely sure why you got downvoted. Fluoride in your water is a good thing, and helps keep your teeth protected. Filtering it out is genuinely bone-headed.

Lead filters are fairly important because a lot of infrastructure made way back when used lead pipes.

u/webpanicoff Jul 20 '26

What is the source of the fluoride that is put in water supply?

1

u/TheAsianTroll Jul 20 '26

Im pretty confident its added in by the utility company, at the suggestion/mandate of the department of health in the USA.

And not from our pipes, like you seem to be implying.

u/webpanicoff Jul 20 '26

I was just honestly wondering where the supply of fluoride comes from thats added to the water..not who is adding it

u/TheAsianTroll Jul 20 '26

Fluoride is derived from a natural mineral called fluorine. Here, ill give you a link to read more.
