Me, watching someone polish my car topless: “the oils in your skin are going to F- up my ceramic coating.

Look at her YT avatar

why is she wearing nothing under her 'overalls'

I work very hard to be taken seriously when I discuss car issues and this does NOTHING to help.

Reminds me of all the hundreds of Chinese video's of women grinding steel and using all kinds of dangerous tools while being half way naked and in high heels. Sure is good to gather views but is a bit unrealistic.

But as always many men will tune in and give them high ratings! It's just manipulation and most will not even realize it!

I agree. It's unfortunate. When I see clips of motorcycles stunting on the freeway I think almost the same thing, except that it's not about being taken seriously, but being identified as a criminal on sight just because of the vehicle. The internet has both its good and bad sides, and the bad side fans the flames of the bad side of human nature.

I recognize click-bait when I see it, and while I can't claim to never click (only human, mostly) I never give ratings for that.

Doesn't hurt either, 20-year-old girls going clubbing in skimpy nurse's uniforms on halloween doesn't make trust the nurse less when I have a blood test 🤷 Nobody takes you less seriously cause this lady likes overall chafe

Live and let live

hahaha if anyone saw the blank look on my face when I look in an engine bay, they'd struggle to take me seriously, but I give kudos to whoever came up with the titles to a few of those videos. "polishing the kitty", lol. If she knows what she is doing with her work on the cars then she is more of an authority than I, more power to her.

Have you seen the Sarah'n'Tuned channel - lovely lady who's seriously good with cars? She obsesses over "doing it right" regardless of time and effort that it takes. And has a great sense fo humour, too!

I'll check that out for sure. One of my daughter's friends (mid 20's) is obsessed with cars, she has a Skyline she has modified to the max, now she drives a garbage truck for work and has to do some repairs on the fly when the mechanisms jam, she is an absolute classic. She's run rings around me when it comes to anything mechanical, I think I had the F Type for over a year before I opened the bonnet.

Difference there, those 20 year old "nurses" are in traditional work field. One may look at it differently if it was your female neurosurgeon, ophthalmologist or thoracic surgeon. And, only a woman understands what it's like.

My opthamologist, hand surgeon, and the operations manager of my construction business are all women. You can leave your wild and unfounded assumptions about who I do and don't respect at the door, thank you very much.

The only person taking you women less seriously because of this channel is you.

After a minute or two I had my doubts, but I watched the whole episode. She clearly is knowledgeable and has mechanical skills. I cringe looking at the shop attire but at least she covered up a bit running the grinder. She does have a dry (and sly) sense of humor that I appreciate.

She's in Arizona so gets a bit warm when working, so dresses (in)appropriately. As you noticed, she does wear safety gear when necessary - even when it makes her roast! And she knows her stuff, and is ex-US military (Air Force I think).
