Shills is a derogatory term. Most of them are highly compensated niche marketing specialized fluid consultants. The service they provide is needed in order to grease the production wheel. It`s even better when you can find the products they endorse at your local discount store. It makes you feel as if you`ve won the lottery.

I don`t mind promotion of products, in fact it can be helpful. But to me any review is worthless unless you can compare it to another well regarded product and point out it`s strengths and weaknesses compared to that. Any top product can stand up to that. It`s when they don`t is when you know it`s schillarama.
huh? wtf...

It`s humor about people who are getting compensated for good reviews whether it`s youtube, amazon, facebook or autopia back in the heyday.

I don’t think Yvan would be promoting junk products. I’m sure they have to be pretty decent.

I feel like Yvan would promote pretty much anything as I’ve seen him everywhere. I’m sure their paid appearances.
But do agree in DIY case it’s probably a solid product as he is a co owner.

I agree he seems to always be positive when doing some promotional type video for whatever company he`s doing the video for.
However with that said I do think they`re putting out some very high quality products. He has the connections in the industry and knows how it works so I wouldn`t surprise me.

My problem is anyone can go to a blender and come up with their own line. Seems every YouTuber got a sponsorship or something.
I see everyone talking about “my chemist” but in reality it is most likely the blenders chemist who is the “chemist” for other brands. And I’m sure you can request certain blends and someone like Yvan might have a better idea of what he’s thinking and I’m sure it’s a good products.
Problem is like OG drying aid, Adam’s slick and slide and xtrene topper I’m sure their are a lot of overlap with these brands.
For all we actually know DIY could just be another arm of B&B.
I like the fact he talks about Rinseless being both surfactant and polymer base. Would be neat if he explained why the chose the combo.

I completely agree and think you`re likely correct. DIY said that even the big companies that you think do all in-house still have to contract out to smaller niche companies for some products. I think Yvan`s strength is in that he`s been in the industry for a while. But you`re right a lot of their products could very well be from a B&B type place. I know they source everything domestically which is nice.

I don`t doubt that a bunch of the latest and greatest ceramic coatings are the same product sold under different labels. Even the big blenders are getting their base products from somewhere like PPG or BASF. It`s kind of like oil, Amsoil and Mobil 1 are rumored to use the same base stock with different additive packages.
Exactly. Amsoil buys base oils and additives from XOM Chemical, Infineum or one of the other handful of additive suppliers.
What is B&B`s line called, Jade?

He stated in his Pan video that a big blender wanted him to consult and wanted him as a spokes person. He recommended guy from Hawks detailing. He came in but they still wanted Yvan.
Way he told it they both got ownership stake but blender is main/part owner too.

In all seriousness guys are you forgetting about all the brands being made in Asia and Europe? Most of my chemicals are from Germany, Italy and Korea.
Some real nice looking brands out of the UK too i think i`m going to try soon. I really like the spray wax from Infinity Wax. Supergloss or something. It comes out thick like polish angel. Likeable owner too i joined their facebook group, started from playing around with wax blends.
Rant over.

I tried an Infinity Wax product and wasn`t too impressed.
I`m not sure if DIY is made by B&B. I want to say they`re not.
Europe and especially Asia have some top-notch brands: Carpro/Gyeon - S. Korea, Sonax - Germany, Kamikaze - Japan, Bilt Hamber - UK.....many more too.
US: Feynlab, 3D, Opti Coat, PoorBoy`s World, Adam`s, System X to name a few.
Adams is B&B`s sister company. What`s the hate for B&B? You`re not the only one to say that. They look like they have a great R&D Center in Colorado.
No hate man. You caught me lol
I was just rambling i tried to delete most of my post haha I don`t know any of these people of course.
What Infinity Wax product did you use?
I will say though i think it comes for apex/phoenix/xtreme with their over the top marketing. And i spent hours watching brain of Apex when he first started his youtube channel. He`s a fraud. I don`t like frauds.
Anyhow, it really doesn`t matter to us - i would never buy a product from those companies..
Pretty sure Shine Supply is B&B too?
All good I was just curious because I hear quite a few people say that about B&B. I was just curious.
Maybe. I really have no idea.
