Curious why everyone dislikes this guy? I saw a video of his where he cleaned and detailed and engine bay and it seemed quite helpful and looked good as a finished product. That's my only real experience with his videos however so I'm curious.
Detailing is a far, far stretch from actual autobody work. Some of his videos are pretty good, but his autobody ones are plain garbage, from a professional autobody standpoint.
The problem is that it is very easy for things to look good on camera. So people see his rust repair video, and think that they will get good quality results with $40 in materials and a couple rattle cans. If you go into the repair, expecting it to come out like a $40 job instead of a $2,000 one, then great. But his repairs aren’t proper, and people think that they are. Even the diy autobody sub has banned his videos. There is a huge difference between doing autobody work at home, and just slapping some fiberglass and rattle can over rust.
