Detailing You Tube channels for me are a valuable source of information, inspiration, opinions, and of course entertainment.
Here are a few I am following for various reasons, which I will outline as I go.
Detail Geek –

This channel has been very helpful in teaching me how to deal with excessively dirty cars. My own fleet is spotless, in effect I am
cleaning a clean car, dealing with a customer’s car is a different proposition. Things like using a pressure washer to deal with dirty door jambs and vacuum technique are what I have picked up here, valuable in saving time and effort.

There are a few different channels for The Rag Company. The FAQ channel is the home of short, sharp videos generally based around product information. The Main channel is a where they host a variety of content showing how to use products, methods and projects. The Podcast channel is where they host the video aspect of their weekly podcast. These channels all provide such a rich vein of information.

I really like the no-bull information here. I love the way Sandro shares his knowledge with no bravado or ego. Very informative and highly recommended.
Chromatic Garage -
https://www.youtube.com/c/ChromaticAutoDetailing
I love the quality of this content. Most of his videos are of the ASMR type, meaning they are very relaxing to watch. There is the occasional tutorial video but for the most part, you will watch this for the creative way he films.
AMMO NYC -

A lot of the cars here are extremely high end exotics, but it's the way Larry moves beyond the dollar value of the car and explains in simple terms what he is doing and why. There is a bit of everything here, barn finds, exotics, old muscle cars and beyond. He also doesn't focus on one style of detailing like say Detail Geek does ("disaster details"). You will find content on paint touch-ups, polishing, under carriage cleaning, PPF, Dry Ice cleaning and more. I will often link people to AMMO videos.
Evolved Details -

I have only started watching this content. Being an Aussie channel, it's great to have local content and opinion.
Obsessed Garage -
https://www.youtube.com/c/MattMoreman
This channel won't be for everyone, the host is an acquired taste with strong opinion. A lot of the time I'm watching in awe of his amazing garages, but I have also learnt a lot of new techniques and found new products because of this channel. I also identify with a lot of his sentiments, and I have also learnt that it's ok to like what you like and follow your own path.
