Grandpa Cries Seeing His Corvette Cleaned For The First Time in 25 Years!
Nothing new went up on WD Detailing this week. The back catalog of neglected cars and family reveals carried the channel on its own.
The video with the most life in it is nearly three months old: a grandpa's Corvette, cleaned for the first time in a quarter century, and the tears the title promises when he sees it. Close behind are a free makeover of a neighbor's car, delivered as a surprise, and the youngest of the three. That one is a Pontiac Firebird, a father's dream car, handed back to his daughter after three decades, billed in the title as the best reaction ever. The formula holds from one video to the next: an old car, a person who loves it, and the moment they see it clean.
Daily views ran somewhat below the channel's usual level. Subscribers kept arriving at a healthy clip, around ten thousand a day. Among the car channels, most were quieter than normal too, Rich Rebuilds and Gas Monkey Garage among them. Autotrader went the other way, well above its usual pace.
