Apex Detail it’s “You’re”....Darren of all people should’ve caught that.....lol.....Just giving you a hard time Mr. Apex 😂🤷🏽♂️..... I love your content as well
Lmao. I think he's had enough of the keyboard cowboys. I can't blame him. Everyone is an expert on the internet.
Today I'm gonna be wet sanding my car and polishing it I never done it before ever so wish me luck hope ur video helps me out 😊👍🏼😎
How did it go?
I wetsanded about 15 different places on my black car. I used 2500 grit. By the 4th or fith correction I became confident. Project turned out perfect. Take your time lose the nerves and do it... Thanks for the confidence.
I got a black barn find. I am gonna give it a shot. How did your ride turn out?
Welcome back Darren, we needed the how to videos with hands on demos youtube videos, keep up the good work. the tips and demosare much appreciated by all of us here.
Thank you so much for this video, I've been waiting for one like this from you for a while! your videos and tricks and tips has made me a better detailer daily, thank you for all your knowledge and video and website. Keep them coming👍🏻 James from M Auto Spa Nj
I learned a lot from you! Old school techniques combined with new school is always the best! Thank you! Appreciate your time spent on the cameras, teaching us !!! For free as well!
Refreshing, straight-up, no-nonsense. Found by accident, but my style too. Good job Sir!
Hey Darren, doing it by hand will create "pressure points". This is the word you have been looking for I believe. This will result in an uneven surface after sanding without a block. However, having years of experience someone knows exactly how to position his fingers and palm on the panel, how much pressure to apply, and for how long he needs to sand a particular spot.
Great video!!! Keep up the good work!!!
You are right on point!
Every time you come out with another video I swear to god you look younger. Next video should be about helping us discover the fountain of youth. In the meantime, im just happy your back!
so my strategy is working then......
is it test or g.h
He smiles a bit whenever he mentions “Do it dry or wet” 😂
A very informative video Darren! Your videos have helped me overcome some of my fears with scratch repair. Thanks for what you put out there for us.
hey glad to see you on you tube again, i have learned how to be a better detailier from you !
great job Darren. lots of your audience will be surprised to discover that what you are doing there is the actual way most car smash repair shop detailers work. cutting to the chase and breaking the rules on a case by case basis everyday.
Just about to wet sand my first ever car like complete car. Done a few scratches but never a complete car before. I'm tuning back in to some of your videos to see if I can pick up on some decent tips! Not far from 100k Darren, you should get back on the youTube game to hit 100k.
Hey Darren!
Great to see how much the channel has grown!
Thanks so much for all you do!
You are a grate teacher dude !!!!
You just teach in a few what otters tech in days !!!!
Good to see you back on you really represent the real world of detailing. Have you ever considered giving classes?
Darren, thanks for the informative video yet again!!! Shine reigns Supreme!!!
Alpha auto detailing pompano beach Florida, i love all u do hey they WISH to be u .ur the honest one so ur better then that keep ur awsome videos going ur our god information and dont ever stop i can stan the diss i love ur little remark i just started defending u in other channels they JEALOUS OF U BUDDY .
I love the brutal honesty.
Thank u Darren for this helpful well delivered video.. Keep up your humor and honesty.. 😍😍😍
I always wondered if the paint spray created orange peel so it’s sanded then clear then wet sand then polish
Spoken like a true pro thanks Daren
Good information sir! The method you used in the first five minutes is how I was taught. And I know this will piss some people off, but oh well, but you have to fuck up a few paint jobs to learn how to control a rotary buffer and use it properly. Again, great stuff!
Great video Daren! You are an expert at your craft!
Omg you’re hilarious! You’re sarcasm made us all laugh😂. Keyboards jockeys and ADD guys go wet sand your whole car and good luck with that !
Your videos are genius, thanks for sharing your experience with us novices. Can you recommend a correction compound to remove light scratches. Thanks.
I love it. I am one of those guys, "cut to the chase"!! 2500 grit wet/dry sand paper, and a buffer. Med/med/high high speed buffer, and spay bottle with water. Bam. Imma go wetsand my barnfind Camaro!!
Thank you!! This helped tremendously! What's the best cheapest compound for multiple scratches on auto, motorcycle
You do an awesome job. Your work speaks for what you do. You can't work around haters and negative people on you tube.. it happens on all sites. I get the same on the bbq channel as well. It's easier to move on than post a negative comment. I like your approach, well done. Do you have a vid on color standing threw clear a damaged coat. Thank you, Cris
all the bitching about the keyboard warriors is really annoying just because ive never seen one of your videos, but you clearly know your shit good work and thanks for the info
Great video. Thankyou for taking the time to explain and show a great fairly easy fix. 💪💪💪🤘🍻
Dude you are old school af.. I love it! #flex
Is it possible to remove holograms with a rotary? BTW, subscribed!
We started wet-sanding back in the early eighties! Sand it old school by hand and not with some damn power sander!! omg. These new backing pads today suck! get the original rubber, flexible pads and not these stiff foam looped backing pads, those don't work worth an crap. You want flexibility so that you can go onto the edge of the buffer at an angle without burning or scuffing. You also don't keep an polishing pad level when you buff paint because the center of the wheel will grab on you and burn your paint too. These new techniques today really are amateur... like i said, OLD school gives you the best results ever and always will. This is how it all started and this is how the custom paint jobs you see today are really done. People actually forget why wet-sanding was originally developed... it was never for scratched paint or hairline scratches, wet-sanding was started to get rid of "Orange-Peel" which is automatically in the paint from the manufacturer. All paint jobs have orange peel and we use to take brand new cars off the floor and wet sand them. Once the orange peel is gone the paint comes out like an mirror. And it's not an "Rotary" Buffer, it's an High Speed Buffer. Your Orbital polisher is an Rotary Buffer.
Wow that jescar compound worked really good.
I loved the pad on the floor Darren, Yes, you can check the pad THANK YOU!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO HE FIRE BACK AND IT IS WELL OVER DUE
Very very nice video and explain. Thanks so much. Greetings from Montreal.
I love the way you trolled the trolls! On a serious note, loved the video but wanted to ask what is the lowest (or most course) scratch marks you can polish out? In case I'm not asking the question well, can you polish out 800-grit scatch marks? 1200, 1500, etc. Thank!
Im glad Jescar forced you to do a video of their product!! Otherwise you were enjoying to much of your YT retirement 🤣.
People react like they have waiting for their king to come back.. THE DETAIL KING!! 🤙🏼
Very Informative & Somewhat helpful to me thanks.
Sorry stupid question .... if i wet sand a car and the leftover water im sanding with is the color of the car..does that mean i sanded off the clear coat? Is that normal?
Great video I'm subbing keep up the vids, very informative!
Darren Another great informative video. Your shots at the "keyboard kowboys" and the amateur boo bears are, sadly, needed.
I have to admit I don't detail my truck (OK I'm too old and lazy -pick one 😁). But the guys I do take it too are having to up their game, a lot . It just aint your daddy's old car wash and shine anymore! 😄
I like! Keep it up!
Thanks you for doing a great touch up paint job last time.
Is that an orenge cut pad by Americana global?
I have just begun wet sanding and headlight restoration or shall I say started over working with sandpaper again in life. Are used 800 on some headlights and now I will use 12001500 2000 2500
How would you get rid of wrinkled clear coat, due to overheating from debadging?
i have dry humor,i enjoy the irritation of otherez😨
thanx for the great work you do & your humor that goes w it🤓
I of course love the dry humor as you can tell...and occasionally a little moist, to down right dripping wet humor.
Dave Tires - I also enjoy the irritation of others!
These people griping must have miserable lives.
That was the Americana Orange cutting?
"Now go wet sand your whole car and good luck with that"
🤣🤣
are there things that a DA cant do? can it do everything a rotary can just takes longer?
Great video! Learned a lot! One question: What store or website do you buy your sandpaper/sanding blocks from and what brand do you like the best?
I can't find anything on UA-cam about wet sanding color sanding lacquer single stage
oh Darren you hack you didn't throw away the pad nor did you do a 30 stage correction ! lol lol :p
So how do you make this prefect and get rid of the divet?
I just wet sanded my oem paint older model bmw. 2000 grit 3m wet sand paper, barely applied pressure and did the panels I wanted to. However once dried I am noticing a lot of white marks and swirls that seem again white. Have I burnt the clear coat off or can this be simply buffed and polished out ???
Okay I've learnt f**k all, off to the next video.
agree with you darren the pad is not a clay bar, why through it away. matt - detail x
Please I need some advise. Is it possible, or let me ask it better, in that specific case how can I use the rotary to finish the work? I mean, Can I use a rotary with a foam finishing pad to get the same results? I am asking that because in other places around, outside the USA, it´s virtually impossible to get a quality DA without selling both eyes because of the price.
Again thanks for the video and for the good explanations
Luis Fernando Parra Martínez in that case low speed on the rotary soft pad are key.
he says "experience" like that little boy on the news station saying, "apparently"
Is it dangerous to use a drill gun?
thank you so much for this video my son and I are debating between orbital and rotary I've only ever used rotary and have not had issues apparently I'm a rarity my son swears that we need to use orbital for everything this video help clarify that you may need both thank you so much
The King of Shine I'll give it a shot
Rotary for cutting, DA for finishing. Great combo.
I like this guy hahaa straight to the point
I suffered through as long as I could
Great n helpful video man
Thanks for sharing. You answered my question, as I have a PC, that I can use it. Take care
I love it when this guy talks shit to the keyboard gangsters, 😆
U got my sub 😁 it's called commen since lmao love it keep em coming I'm using a d\a 1500 then 2000 then 3000 on a month old black paint job I did my self has orange peel like big vallys any suggestions
Flex PE-14-2 is so totally smooth
we missed your videos, where have you been?
Busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest!
Darren do you think meguiars compound would be good enough to get the wet sanding out?
Foolsrule 101 or 105 yes but it will be dust heaven
Derent, what polisher do you recommend, because i been using the rupes but i don't like how works, any suggestions?
Luxury detail Car care Can I have your Rupes once you get another? I need a polisher lol
Those keyboard experts suck for sure. I normally use 2000 and seldom use anything more/less aggressive unless the paint needs leveled. Compounds are confusing to choose one that cuts or finishes out well.
Its true,to many people are wasting time with dual action polishers,what a joke . #1 wet sand a hood for example,#2 POLISH WITH A ROTARY BUFFER,#3 AND THEN YOU MAY USE A DUAL ACTION POLISHER TO REMOVE THE HAZE!.THATS OUR ISSUE ,THE HAZE ! ITS AWFUL AND A WASTE OF TIME TO START TO FINISH WITH A DUAL ACTION. HES RIGHT. ROTARY FIRST THEN DUAL ACTION
thanks for the add version....im going to go take 2 adderalls and dry sand my truck.....
"Get some lubricant, whip out your buffer..." you will be ready for polishing more than car.
I wouldn't even call it breaking the rules. More like tweaking the rules to get the results you need and want.
Great tutorial. Thanks for all thank you.
Ba-bam! Just half-assed it.
Playable
Tips for detailing a black car?
I've never heard of someone saying to throw out the pad when it lands on the ground. That is just stupidity. However , I don't doubt someone would say it. Gotta love trolls.
I think when they binge watch UA-cam they have gotten mixed up with clay being dropped on the ground.
great job....
Great video!
I'm just disappointed that you didn't use protection for your eyes and ears...
Boo hoo. Hes a big boy, I am sure hes got it. Plus he likes breaking the rules!
this is customer's car isn't it...
sweet! Did not want a 40K picture frame for birdshit
I mean why would you sit here and call out people who have ADD? I'm sure God didn't make you perfect in anyway!!! Do you get more money in your wallet by speaking to people like they are stupid?
wow
Cut to the chase. 30min video
