Darren, I am a right arm amputee and am following my dream to independence through a prosperous auto detailing business/career. I can assure you that you don't have it all that bad!
Stuart P Yes I know. It is easy to get caught up in self pity which I don't think I do. As I have told those around me repeatedly, it could be soooo much worse. And clearly you have illustrated that for me and others. Good luck in your efforts!
Great video. I used the Nanoskin AutoScrub Fine Grade Wash Mitt on my fiance's 07 Avalanche today.This is the first time her truck has ever been clayed. I liked the way it worked. I had no issues with skid marks. The worst area was the tailgate,it felt like sandpaper in the beginning. I used Optimum No Rinse wash in a bucket to soak the mitt and a stronger mix of Optimum No Rinse as a lubricating spray. Thank you for sharing your video's,looking forward to see what is next. Sorry about your bicep,hope you heal quickly. Happy 4th of July!
Sorry to hear about your injury. Get well soon and thanks for the time you take to do these video's.
Thank you for another great video Darren! I hope you have a fast recovery.
Wow Darren I know how you feel with that cast! I went through the same thing on my dominant hand for 2 weeks in a hard cast too! It was difficult to work around. Get well😉
First time viewer of your channel here, I have to say I really appreciate how informative you are, thank you, and get well.
I always use the blue nanoskin sponges when claying. I also always have a wet microfiber (rinseless solution) towel over it. Never had a problem with it in direct sunlight black or dark vehicles. Thanks for the great videos!!
Hi Darren, best wishes for a speedy recovery and thank you for your time.
Wishing you the best of success in your recovery.
Damn Darren! Feel better man. That looks like serious cast! Been waiting a long time for this video, its awesome! Great information. Thank you and I wish you a quick recovery.
A local detailer I met doesn't clay! For "efficiency" sake he uses a clean old rupes pad with some compound to quickly clean and decontaminate and goes right into a one step or AIO. I was shocked but his results were great... Have you ever done this?
I recently picked up the medium and fine grade speedy prep sponges and for doing a car quickly and picking up the majority of contaminants I'd say they do an excellent job. However there are still some instances when the prep sponges won't remove certain things and I use the clay bar.
Great video Darren, get well soon.
Darren, what do you think of all the craze about ceramic coatings such as opti coat?
Man!!! Sucks too see you like that. Hope you get better soon soo that you can keep making your very informative videos.
So sorry!! Fast healing to you!!! What a trooper!!
Well, could have been a lot worse..... but i hope you heal as fast as possible.
French Mastiff Valid point; could have been endless ways in which it could have been worse.
Hello Darren, when your arm gets better can you shoot a video on the correct way to use Iron X. Love your videos and hope you get better soon.
Get well soon!... Great video. I use the pad and the speedy towel, The other day I worked on a car that had over sprayed paint and the pad helped a lot making the job a lot easieerrr
Get well Brother..........I use the nanoskin wash mitt like it a lot.
I know this is an older video, but you should look into a Stem Cell shot for your elbow
great video as always. speedy recovery
Great video buddy! Where do you get the small and medium clear containers for the clay? Are they on your site as well? Have a wonderful weekend.
I have Meguires clay bar kit and the clay is white, what grade of abrasive is this bar?
how did you tear your bicep tendon? how awfully painful. Thank you for your videos
Just got the fiancé a new to us car. 2012 optima with only 14k miles so it really is essentially brand new. Problem is someone did a hack job of paint touch up on one of the rear quarter panels.
Is my best bet to just wet sand the area and touch up any spots that need it. Then wetsand and buff?
sorry to see ya in the wars young man, hope it mends quick and you don't get too much pain, all the best for a quick recovery, and thanks for posting this Darren, now rest ya arm, and lift the beer with the other...lol
Feel better Darren!
shouldn't the clay bars be split into smaller pieces?
Hello I have a few orange really small dots on my new car. Colour is frozen white car is only done 900 miles. Ford mondeo tried washing but will not come. Sure you can give me some great advice how to remove.
Thanks
***** Sounds like a perfect problem for the surface prep pads/sponges within this video.
why is everyone sorry for his arm lol?
Darren did I hear you right you have a clay bar that's years old? i been throwing them away after one use! how do you maintain them and keep them in working order!
Those clay bars are black and he said they were originally red. So he's being cheap because he does this for a living. I understand that, but you really don't want to be using a clay bar that is too dirty. You'll just end up damaging your paint.

Personally, I throw them away when I cannot get a reasonably clean surface i.e. no visible specs of embedded dirt no matter how I kneed and turn it after U have manually removed what I could see. Throwing away clay bars after just one use is just needlessly wasteful IMHO unless you have worked on paint so bad your clay bar gets clogged up with contaminants after just one use.
hey brow !! I want to remove wolfgang deep gloss 3.0(sealant) of my paint, I´ve applied make some 2 weeks, do you know a good way to remove that sealant of my paint propely? Do you think that Iron-x can do this job? hugs !!
I´m from brazil, sorry about the bad english
Why claybar desintegrates whem I use water with soap, during the process of claying my car ? Whem I use quick detailer the clay just be fine, just don´t desintegrates. Hugs!!!
Hi Darren, a little off topic but where did you get those bottle holders on the right side of your garage? the white wire things. Thanks a lot, hope the recovery is coming along well.
Viran Panchal Good eye. Got them at Costco awhile back. Love them.
Auto Fetish Detail Thanks Darren!
that iron x stuff is that good for getting that rusty shit from sprinklers off?
Those 135 pound curls finally caught up to ya?
Hope you get well soon
How did you pull that muscle Darren? How you heal quickly,
EsthetiqueAutoMTL Bodyboarding in some big waves
What happened Darren customer didn’t like how you detailed their car
Hello, how do I know if I should use a medium clay bar or a light clay bar? Do you have a video about it?
use a light one and if it takes a lot of rubbing to smooth the surface then a more aggressive one would cut the time down
I'm with Jeschitown...you maintain your clay bars for years? I've been chucking them as well after one use.
Get better soon god bless
Get well soon! ;~}}
whenever I'm claying I keep my tar and glue remover at hands distance for the skid marks
@markharry cartlidge yeah 😆 ive done it with a clay mitt, sprayed tar and glue on a panel, wiped across with mitt 😯 fuck!!!! 🤣
Very informative! thx
haha, if I look on the german amazon... the nanskin ist listed as 84 EUR (around $80)
so did anyone find out the answer? this guy sure rambles on and on and on...
Just seen your video sorry for the injury that you have I did the same thing to my knee and discloated the petela so I kind of know what you are going though. You can put your feet up and learn to drink the beer in your left hand. 💪💪💪🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

I personally use soapy water when I clay A car.....I think a detailer is too slick...
I also do this I use a little but of dawn and water because it not only lubes it up but also dawn help dissolve road grime and previous wax
This guy is like walter white of detailing
10th view, nice
I see 3 new things a cast, glasses, new hair color
You. Talk. To. Much.
+joe g
You're *too stupid to comprehend anyways.
Wow,terrible.Get better Darren fast!(You don't have to reply.)
I, one of your viewers and a possible.. "ignorant clients" as you state in you video, do not appreciate this kind of talking down you present online. Why is it that your presentations have to include proud contempt of others?
Please stop “bigging yourself up” in your videos. They seem only to serve making undue claims in an overbearing manner.
What about the video:
"Car paint scratch:You can't fix what you don't understand!"....best auto detailing tips...really! Please come down from your car detail pedestal.
For starters improve your overall video experience and stop making your self better than you are. In one video, it almost sounded like you disliked this client of the Audi just because of his social status and because he lived in a upscale and maybe, for you unreachable area of town.
-why do I need that info? Where does social status tie into car detailing? Stay focused please.
Want to improve your channel views?...watch and learn from CHRISFIX and, AMMONYC. No talking down there. Just great well filmed, no arrogance advice.
You mention the power of NO. Just remember that TH-cam viewers we also have the power to say NO!!

You can use clay bar in smaller pieces or a whole bar it is mostly user preferences
