Full Detail Lamborghini Countach: Matt Farah
Today we detail Matt Farah's Lamborghini Countach in LA 4 weeks before his wedding. The paint is extremely delicate and thin, especially on the edges, and will require a "hand Polish" along the corners prior to using modified larger pads in the middle sections. We also found areas of paint that were single stage as well as 2 stage (clear coated) on the same panel...which added to the difficulty of the project. Huge thank you to Kevin Brown, Derek Bemiss, and Daniel Holinger for their help on the Matts detail. Hope you enjoy! -Larry

One of the few Chanels, which you can watch on the TV and don't notice, that it's on KZhead where normally Vlogs are published with minimal effort. Your videos look like a high quality TV Show!
The problem is a lot of youtubers are really really good at what they do, but they aren't very good at translating that into a video format. It's actually rare to find someone who is both a master at their craft AND a master at video production like this.
@@jacobleblanc27 Youre right! Like I said, it seems more like a high quality TV Show with loads of budget that a KZhead Video...
For a lot of KZheadrs the time and effort doesn't translate into more views and more money, for example Doug and even TST. AMMO and The Straight Pipes are the only channels I can think of with such high production value.
That is because the people editing and filming for him are pro's LOL.
That's because it's backed by an actual product, and they have money for production.
why is ammo nyc just a dad version of linus tech tips
lol so true, the LTT of car care stuff almost
But Linus is a dad too...
Linus is also a dad but i watch both lmao
Linus lives about 15 minutes from me, I don't get why he gets so much hate, the guy literally is smiling every time I've seen him lol
Heavy Weight Primate With a Harvard Mind it’s only because he’s famous. Everyone just sees him on their screens as some sort of character, and most people don’t stop and think that the people on that screen are as real as themselves.
“If you get the car I’ll detail it for you” *gets car* Larry: You weren’t supposed to do that
Dude he loves detailing Supercars. That is his job and passion
"Increased arm speed gives you that long stroke effect." Good advice.
Quarantine tips
I am just preparing for the job life
I’ll keep that in mind tonight
Hahahaha SAME
@@Arcticfox7 ahahaha lol
Matt Farah “paint work is all original” Larry “definitely been repainted”
:D yeah man
All original cars are unicorns...they might not really exist. I've been to high end car shows where guys are like, yup all original. Then I love pointing to all the areas that have been reworked. Unless the car was moved from new from dealership to vacuum chamber it is not all original. These cars do exist but most people who believe this are wishful thinkers or fools.
Larry also said that the paint was delicate and thin, that makes it more likely to be the original layer =)
@@brandonbentley8532 My Dads been collecting original paint low mile survivors since the early 60s. None of them anything special other than they are original paint one owner low mile garaged cars. They've all been in pampered storage since. I've been dealing with original paint survivors for 45 years. I can tell you right now very few survive 100% paint work free. The early 50s metallic paints die no matter how pampered. The non metallic paints hold up incredible well and shine with a like new lustre. I've got a vintage flat fender original tub jeep. It had one quicky scuff and shoot my guess in the 1950s the re shoot is so thin the original paint shines thru more than the repaint. It's been molested yet it's still original paint. How or what do you call that?
Oftentimes paying the Pros to do what they do is well worth the cost.
Why people want this to picked up by mainstream TV? Now it is scripted, filmed, produced like he wants. Quality is better or comparable to TV. We can watch it any time. No commercials we cannot avoid. TV would just make it too mainstream, no nerdy details left, put on commercials and would be hosted by a tv-personality who does not care or get this.
Tv is dead
At least game shows are still about games.
There's no need to polish it. It looks good from the beginning on.
True. TV as a medium doesn't make sense if you have as big of a following as AMMO NYC does.
I mean, I don’t know about “no commercials we cannot avoid.” I had to watch a few minutes worth of ads (commercials) to watch this. I can fast forward TV commercials but I had to watch all the KZhead ads.
You can tell the difference between an "average car owner" and a "car guy". "This is my car." "I get to be the caretaker for this car."
“I get to be the caretaker of this 1997 Toyota Corolla 350k miles, minimal rust, slight engine knock, no low ballers I know what I have”
I'm 37 years old and just all of a sudden started really getting into cars. Believe it or not,it was actually a combination of Tesla and Lamborghini that did it. I never knew there would be people that were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this aspect of cars. These guys seem as passionate as any racer or collector would be. This is probably my dream car too. Wouldn't mind a Diablo either. Very high quality video,and really in depth. They explain things very well for people that are interested. Some nice camera work too. I can't believe how amazing that paint looked at the end,when it looked like so much of it was coming off and all.
You are a marketing genius. The storytelling is just amazing. The last 3 minutes, the ending comments...The photos... You passion, your humility....Man. Damn, you are amazing.Shout out to Make it rain production
Jesus, this bloke is so uptight I squirm whilst watching him. But you Americans don't like being comfortable in your own skin.
@purple mist Yep. And that can all be done with a smile on your face.
how much further can you stick your nose up his ass?
The only thing more heart warming than your labor of love is the story of your friendship! :)
Real shit
0:41 what a mad lad. His 50th anniversary will be on 4/20/69
6:00 - I was not expecting to hear my grandfather's name when watching this. Thanks guys for including that detail. It's very cool to know Matt own's a car my grandfather touched.
He drive He protec But most importantly He paint corec
Please tell me this is sold as a T-shirt
The first time I've seen this on a video that doesnt have shibes in it
Hahahahahaha
Good one! Hahahahaha
you have my upvote.
Video should be renamed, Full Detail of a Lamborghini Countach Headlight Flip Cover.
A clean car is a happy car.. I've literally always said that. Good job AMMO
"Tell us a bit about the car" "Well, y'knw, it's, y'knw, a poster car, y'knw, y'knw?"
Larry, it's always cool to see you listening to Kevin. With all the years of experience you have, and all that you've shared with us, you're proving there's no such thing as 'knowing it all' and one should always take time to learn more. Thanks for sharing!
Vince Janeczko Kevin is a wealth of knowledge and one of my closest trusted friends. That dude is as genuine as they come. Detailing the car was fun... hanging with my friends is more important. The combo of the 2 is special. Love the big projects.
Why did Matt look 35 when he was 18
Lack of hair, the facial hair and the fact that he makes Larry look anorexic in the picture..
now look at his hair :c
all the drugs
cocaine
Because when u have more u stress more. Can't have one without the other.
My father designed the sound system for the Countach in the US (as well as all Mercedes of the 80s). It was all done in a small shop on Rt 17 in NJ. Back then, things like this werent that unheard off. Small companies getting big contracts like this. I still have the photos of all these cars coming in, with my father and his friend figuring out how to get all the stuff in these supercars, from 911 Turbos to Ferrari Testarossas, 600SL, and of course the Countach. I loved riding in them when I would visit, so he could test the audio quality with road and wind noise...
I love that you guys capture and responsibly dispose of all your waste wash water- you set the standard for all others to follow and show how just a couple of extra steps protects our creeks, rivers, lakes and bays. Keep up the great work! I'm providing this link as an example. Cheers!
sure snowflake sure
The biggest problem with this video is that I can’t like it more than once. Phenomenal job by all of you. Love that you had a chance to work on such a special car for such a special friend. It doesn’t get any better than that. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm was born in the 80s and I remember the Countach being my dream car. Such an iconic car. Larry I wish you could come to Brazil and participate in one of our car detail congresses. Would be an honor.
Adam West 😂 I thought the same thing when I read “I’m from the 80s”...so you’re a time traveler huh?
@@griffcoleman I have a delorean. Just got a flux capacitor. :P Obivously born in the 80s
e esses congressos são onde? fiquei interessado :D
@@Raijin... Rolou um na Bahia e o próximo é dia 24, 25 e 26 em Balneário Camboriú SC 😎👍
Good to see Kevin Brown as a part of this team. I remember Kevin from the late 80’s very early 90’s in Southern California, ( Long Beach ), to be exact with his truck and mobile detail service.
You know, I tend to loath most KZheadr and Channels. But I enjoy not only your content, but your presented humbleness and info.
20min+ long video but it felt like it was over in 2min. Love your work!
Those are some big guns you bought with you!! Damn! What a squad. I want to see AMMO and Jim @ White Details work together, badly!
that would be great,2/3 of the best together
He just told us the life story of that paint by detailing it, phenomenal
This is incredible. We are lucky to have KZhead, for you to show us exactly how this process is taken. I didn't even know you and Matt were so close, and I've been subscribed to both of you for over 6 years. Thank you, honestly.
How can anyone dislike this video? Long time friendships, A beautiful car, a great detail in which I learnt some things...... There's no pleasing the internet!
You guys are the avengers of the detailing world. Great stuff!
What did it cost you to get the Countach, Matt? . . Everything
A Rangers shirt man!? Come on!😄
Really nice episode Larry, so good to have long term mates like this.
The radio on my old 96' Kia Sportage looked almost the same as that but with a cassette instead of a CD slot, and a separate 6-disc CD changer.
You are one of the most OCD people on youtube. Which is exactly the quality needed to be a world class detailer. Great job!
Not trying to really promote, but White Details YT channel is way more thorough.
Don't use ocd in a trivial way, it's a real medical condition.
@@jonathanw4750 I agree, love his projects!
Since when has doing a job correctly and being thorough become OCD? This world has become too laid-back and lazy! There is nothing wrong with doing a job correctly from start to finish! This is why he probably gets paid for one car what most people make in a year!
I can’t imagine a more complicated car in terms of hard edges and the sheer amount of panel surfaces to deal with, awesome job!
That trick with reshaping the pad on the rotary wheel was cool. Never would have thought of it, but it seem obvious after seeing it. The residue containment methods were also pretty neat. I love all these small details.
I'd be freaking out if I saw that much paint coming off on my towel.
The first time I worked on single stage paint I felt the same! Definitely prefer to work on clearcoated vehicles.
Lol as scary as it looks it's the way things go with single stage. My brother had a red Miata with single stage paint, and during paint correction a lot of red paint also came off from the car.
The only difference is you can’t see the clear coat coming off on clear coated vehicles.
@@chadvalliere8697 ^ pretty much this
It’s scary as f*ck
Amazing watching you work with Matt and also the detail job on this car. I always learn something new from your videos and once again, another insane transformation!
Wow, Matt Farah is getting the royal trifecta of detailing gods to work on his car. Must be nice! Btw, that mini cordless Rupes is frickin' sweet. I know that is pretty much strictly a professional's tool, but I wish I could afford toys like that!
If the car cleaning Guru isn't there it aint shit
in black and white who?
Can't tell you how many of these cars I saw burst into flames from 90 to 94 in Phoenix, Az......made me cry everytime....
Looks soooo good. Red is at least as tough as black. Gr8 job. Man...single stage polishing - "took what I could, left what I should."
I’m watching your videos (you and Matt) for maybe 6 or 7 years (On Drive first and now on yours own channels), when I do watch your videos I don’t have the feeling to be on youtube, it’s like, idk, knowing you personnally. Matt, you and some others (Like Chris Harris, Henry Catchpole) are the most guenuine youtube people, I discovered the detailing thanks to you and practicing now for 5 years. I dream to meet one of you, even for a brief talk. Thank you for being you. Cheers from France!
Loving the journey and the connection you guys have. It's truly beautiful. A long friendship is irreplaceable. And your stories and insight and tips and tricks and passion is what makes me keep coming back to watch. Keep it up!
Don't you just love it when people are taking science, dedication and refinement into things. This is bringing car shining to another level.
My son and I have done paint correction and ceramic coatings on hundreds of cars. Today we get to do our clients 88 Countach correction, polish, and ceramic coating. Ive watched this video 12 times. Very excited! Wish us luck!
Awesome! Def one for the books :)
Love seeing the behind and history. I've watched both of you guys and a few others for years. Great to see the friendship still going strong!
That is friendship, transcendence, the future. You guys are making youtube so much better than TV, Cinema and Wikipedia combined.
Dude, what a great story! Excellent effort in making that Countach pop like that
I've had a poster of that car in red on the wall in my bedroom as a child, and now in my office since 1985. The Original Supercar.
Wow! I'm absolutely speechless. What a car, and what a great piece of detailing work
That is a beautiful Countach. A very rare car indeed. I've remember seeing them brand new back in the day and this one looks every bit as nice. The paint is amazing and reminds me of my 1978 Ducati Darmah which is the same color red. As far as I'm concerned, all the Johnny-come-lately KZheadr's with their Lambos don't hold a candle to this one(there may be one exception). This Countach however is the real deal, and was driven by Valentino Balboni at the factory. This is the car! The 1988 Red/Tan Countach with factory wing! Take good care of her Matt, she's a keeper!
so proud of you guys, i admire your work and where you two came from. very inspiring.
One of the most beautiful cars back in the 80's. I would of been 3 years old when this beautiful car was built.. wow.. Stunning
Kevin Brown is a genius... I always learn so much from the vids!!! thanks Larry!!
I don't typically comment on KZhead, but I have to give you and Matt congratulations! I don't know if I'll ever care for my car the way you do (or frankly, buy your products)- but your attention to detail, knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling keeps me watching! Maybe at some point I'll pay it forward by getting a car guy I know some Ammo!
They're explaining as if you want to detail your own countach
i love that about his vids tbh...
The best part
100th
Larry: Would just like to say a big THANYOU for posting these instructional Vids, information, tips and hints are just brilliant as are the results. Have been collecting cars since my late teens and always in search of the best way to polish a car to maximise presentation. seems like have finally found the Holy Grail of detailing my cars. Thanks You.
Great Video I like how you work with other industry professionals and still learn from them. It’s great to see that. BTW that car looks great!! Good job.
Watching you guys work is ridiculously satisfying! Great work and great video!
I realize that this is an older video, but congratulations Matt! I actually found out about you from the old Superspeeders videos, but you're definitely one of my favorite car enthusiasts.
This was really interesting to see this lovely Countach. Makes me understand that my 2004 Celica 7th gen is also probably single stage paint also as seems to chip easily too and have some white showing the same. Hope my future 2012-13 GT86 will have more paint stages.
Man! This is a dream team of detail knowledge and skill.
I saw this car back in February and thought it looked mint. I can only imagine how good it looks in person now.
I found a wild Tavarish/ Fingergenz
I am in awe of your attention to detail. It's real craftsmanship and art.
How can anyone possibly thumbs down this ? Presented better then a high end TV production, awesome
This episode is every bit as beautiful as the poster that inspired it. Thank you 👍
Been watching for ages but only now commenting...You and your channel are truly amazing. I'd say a major network needs to pick you up, but I'd fear it might ruin the format. Thank you for your preciseness and detail (pun). Amazing.
What beautiful video, when that 88 rolled out at the end with a day 1 shine, bought a tear to my eye.
The Countach has to be one of if not the most iconic over the top styled vehicle of all time. Beautiful.
I think Daniel Holinger deserves the name 'Buff Daddy' LOL
You are like Da Vinci for paint correcting cars man... Bravo
So many great detailers in one garage! Awesome work!
I wonder how much time I've spent throughout my life just staring at Countach's seen on posters, Trapper Keepers, in DuPont Registry's, movies and so on. They're absolutely mesmerizing...
There was a front wing option as well. It was a smaller version of the rear wing and it sits right on the frunk lid. It can be seen on the cannonball run countach.
This is better than watching ANY micro surgery or engineering video. Absolute masters
The smiles you two show, speaks volumes
Truly beautiful video all around. The friendships that cars have brought and the history is so cool.
For most this is video about a beautiful car being detailed, for me it's a story about enduring friendship. Great stuff!
You're the man Larry! I like your vids before even watching them. Never disappointed. :)
Love the back ground on you and your friend success in business together. Awesome job on the car as well. Another great video. Positive Flow.
man you are awesome. please dont stop making these videos. appreciate your effort
$249 /////ALPINE stereo..... $9,000 upcharge option 😳
Jaison Edwards I could not believe it when he said that. That is insane!
In 1988 i imagine CD players were extremely expensive
Andrew McQuaide indeed, around $1500. Not $9000.
It's no worse than the $2-3000 charges for crappy navigation on luxury cars today.
okleydokley are you serious? I mean at least there’s some a actual tech in a nav system... I mean they run off a satellite, in space... As a guy who was in the car audio industry when that Alpine deck was new, no nav system on the planet has the markup that cd played did at $9k
I smile at how the panels around, well anywhere they cut a hole in the body for things like headlights, do not line up. And this is why Italians don't make submarines I guess. Interesting video.
you should see modern Ferrari and Lambo LOL
We actually make submarines for other countries and Fincantieri is one of the world most advanced ships builders. Lamborghini now is owned by Audi so put the blame on Germans. But sure, those American crappy cars like Corvette are well aligned, uh?
Lol #triggered 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽
Absolutely wonderful video again. Thanks Larry and everyone else involved. The ending of the video was a really nice touch :)
I'm constantly impressed by the quality of work that you do on these cars
That paint REALLY DID look "dripping wet" too!
Mr AMMO NYC, your videos and work are high quality as usual. Thinking of getting rid of netflix and just binging all of your videos as my new show.. keep it up!
So beautifully done and left me with a tear in my eye!!!!Well done guys!!!!!!
*Blurs license plate at 1:14 30 Seconds later: 1:44
"When you really clean a car it just drives alot happier!" Facts
I thoroughly enjoyed this. The Countach is the reason I fell in love with Lamborghini and supercars in general
Great video! And it's very cool to see you guys are still friends and both very successful at your own crafts. Congrats.
This is the first AMMO NYC video I have seen. And I have to say: what a great deal of competence in the detailing itself, shooting and video + sound editing! It was so satisfying to watch this :) Thank you for your exquisite content! SUBSCRIBED!
I dont drive a supercar I drive a 08 Tacoma but even with my basic knowledge on polishing I definitely agree to the statement the vehicle drives happier after cleaning / polishing / Great video !
thats funny ,,,, i allways felt that my car drove better after a good clean.
@@tonybarnes8019 I used to race my trans am and it always felt faster if freshly waxed. Less drag?
Talk about a labour of love !!!!! Looks better than it did when it was factory new - great job guys 👌🏻
Wow, the story behind how this detail came to be ,is absolutely awesome
Friendship goals ❤
I'm kind of surprised Matt hasn't put some kind of clear bra on that, especially with one stage paint on the front. As I typed that I now wonder if putting vinyl on a one stage paint wouldn't potentially damage it.
If he did, it would go off after time WITH the paint. Trust me on that one. That paint is sooo damn fragile.
I was thinking the same thing but didn’t think about when you take the clear bra off
,,
As always awesome video and content Larry! 🔥🔥🔥
What a great gift for youre friend Ammo Nyc also nice to work with people who are equal to you great video i enjoyed it greetings from the Netherlands
Outstanding job gents, that looked painfully complicated, but the results speak for themselves. Matt may want to look into his comment " It's original paint from 1988" if there was a blend line on the roof.😳 Awesome video, thanks for keeping us informed!!
Could have been a factory repaint from a defect
