Do you really have to follow the rules of convention when starting your own detailing business? Most people would say yes. But most people are rule followers regardless of whether the rules make sense or not. Most of the rules don't make sense when you are a beginner testing the waters of your own detailing business. Rules have their place and they absolutely serve a purpose. But sometimes you ...

What did you use to remove the tacky residue left behind?
the pin broke off inside 😢
Is that a Rupes blue pad you are using
Started watching you. Years back. Helped alot thx❤
Have some discipline, don't slide your ass 😂
Good info although brevity would go a long way.
Experience is the best teacher.
They’re 16 minutes of my life I’ll never get back… Lol
Clay bar is one of the first steps, if i polish and wax afterwards it still looks great

Its the reason why sages have to isolate. They become tired of explaining to smooth brains
Don't think YT shorts is meant for such a long discussion....
@solinvictus1406 Wow! This is a new nugget of wisdom that I have not heard but absolutely love!
The customer from the R V will appreciate the service much more than the Ferrari owner ….
Too much talking pass for me sorry
Brain is officially fried! with NO direct answer
I'm about to do ppf is clay bar need it any help
Hi Darren what was the name of those books one should read thanks and hope to see more videos jimbo is one of the good ones along with you
Interesting I just use all three brushes for $200 lol
don't you have to remove the traffic film out of the rubber sels b4 you Seal them?
Holy crap man, make a 10 second video. Where the hell is the comment linkinging the answer?
fantastic content. thanks alot man. wish i can get a mentor like you for my business.
Another awesome video and content good friend
Alright but wouldn't it be easier if you gave the customer a piece of paper that listed every single detail you were going to do. Just already have this printed out. And then you write the price under it. And then you have another piece of paper saying all these other extra details you can do And you write the higher price under that. Wouldn't that be easier for the customer to compare value by reading it off paper then by you? Just explaining it to them with words?
D, you got this.... Zoolander vibe. Love it.
I guess I need to watch that movie again because the reference is lost on me. You are not the first person to make the comparison; hence, I need to rewatch and see the comparison. Thanks for tuning in despite my limitations as a person.
All talk.
Thick wool pad helps remove 3000 marks? Because soft pad didnt remove them completely thanks for the help im using ultimate compound

I learnt something and laughed ...thanks !
Glad to see you back
not sure i appreciate being called good little sheep... this guy is creepy. Not sure I have learned anything new here either
I wish he would shut up and get on with it
Thanks Darren, Been using the Kirkland MF towels since your recommendation on an earlier video back in the Meguiar's Synthetic Express spray wax days. I detail spray my car every time after driving to get the desert dust off (AZ), body first, then rims and tires. I don't even bother to wash them, just toss in the garbage.
Pretty good system you have worked out. You decommission them as you work and then dispose of them at the end...nice!
I’ve done one SUV repair with the airbrush. Currently struggling with repair on the hood of my Kubota. I’ve realized that making hundreds of pens has refined my knowledge of sanding. I’ve gone up to 12k grit before polishing. For whatever reason, my tractor paint gummed up, a challenge but back to native paint and bondo now. So, researching the thinner and new application going forward.
Thanks so much for sharing your technique and products! I have applied them to my boat for cleaning for at least a few years now with outstanding results!
BINGO
Very Nice finish 👍 Just wanted to ask which compound are you using plus the finishing polish
Great info, do you have links to the products you are sing scrub pad and brush and chemicals?
I remember the story about the windshield! Haha. Thank you for posting all these videos. You really helped me start my business!
What i see is ur position changed like u either pushed away or just shut down. My word would be location
Awesome video and content good friend
CSI = Cocky Sexual Intercourse You guys are between 18 to 25 yrs old? I don't think so. What do you think?
I wouldn't let you touch my paint work pal 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂🖕
Darren, this is hugely informative, thank you so much. How would you deal with light water stains?
Very practical and knowledgeable advice. A true professional.
Hi Darren, thank you for your tips and efficiency. Question, in 2024, what is the best "spray wax / sealant / drying aid" to use in the direct hot sun? With best I mean: easy to use, no streaks, glossy and shiny
What pad is that on the rotary?
Amazing video and content as always good friend
Thanks again!
How many employees do you have?
I no longer have any employees. Back when I had a shop, along with my mobile crews, I had 7 employees total.
I love that towel
First off, a roof cannot be totally clean if the big hatch covers are not removed so as to clean right up to the vent curb. Secondly, I would never get a bleach solution any where near my rv roof. Way too corrosive.
Hello there. So did the TW Scratch remover effects and shine disappear after you wash it with water?
