    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

      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.

      @@chrisfix What would be some tips for someone who wants to learn how to fix up cars like this? i never really grew up knowing how to do much of anything besides the basics (changing battery, oil and filter, tires, breaks that kind of stuff). Its seems like there is so much to know and I am already 25 years behind the curve for learning. Super intimidating since there's like 1000 parts on a car lol. My end goal would be to take an old car and restore it over years. Love the vids btw, always so informative and easy to follow.

      @@40inuyasha04 just do it. Don't just wish you could do something, start it. Don't dwell on the feelings. The most I had ever done was change breaks. 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.
