About

Hi, I’m Peter, the guy behind Peter von Panda. I buy things, test them in real life, and tell you plainly whether they’re worth your money and time.

Since 2012 the channel has grown into thousands of videos, and most of them start the same way: a question I couldn’t find a straight answer to. Does a $20 bottle of Cataclean really clear a check engine light? Is ceramic tint worth it over carbon? What do the numbers on a golf club actually mean? I try it, film it, and share what happened, good or bad.

What you’ll find here

  • Car care tested: coatings, waxes, tint, cleaners, fixes and “does it actually work?” experiments.
  • EVs and car talk: Tesla ownership, accessories, and honest takes on where electric cars are headed.
  • Golf explained: gear, club tech and DIY fixes, in plain English.
  • Home fixes: repairs and upgrades that saved me money.
  • Gadgets and gear: flashlights, tech, tools and everyday products, with no hype.

Most of what I review I bought myself. When a company sends a product, I say so in the video, and my opinion isn’t for sale. Away from the camera, my day job is in personal finance, which is why money tips and books for kids and adults show up here too.
