Black cars are so hard to keep but when the paint is clean and polished, nothing beats it!
Niamh Healy NAILED IT! Having a blk car is a love hate thing 🙄
nope an red Ferrari / maserati / alfa colour is just as unbeatble!!
Going out in the morning for a good wash, polish and wax session. Wish me luck
The winter months are especially vicious..
Yea and then it rains. ALWAYS.
Hey Larry, I have been subscribed for a long time and have been watching your videos for several years. Your videos were the first videos that got me into wanting to really start to "DETAIL" my own cars and they struck an OCD cord with me. I have been working on my cars and other family members cars and getting better and better. Watching and rewatching your great comprehensive steps to detailing, for example the one here, have made a big difference. About 16 years ago I started a dark period in my life where a heart disease that I was diagnosed with at age 19 finally took over and I became completely disabled at age 38. After a series of operations, procedures and many many medications my heart finally arrived at the end stage of heart failure in 2016 and was placed on a heart transplant list. I was one of the lucky ones and a heart became available just 4 months after being placed on the list. The surgery was just over 2 years ago and I now know how normal people feel...lol. Sorry for the history but wanted you to know that while this was going on I was watching and learning. It would take my mind off things for a little while. I now want to jump into the detailing world with both feet. If you get time I would love to talk to you or exchange emails on how I can go about this. Thank you in advance. By the way...where can I get that detailing brush that was used at 16:06 in the video?
i hope you're doing well man
The 3D animations are legit. 😎
I hate it when my pad gets too many rubies in it!
That was my first thought. Larry, stepping up his game again.
Butterffinger5678 I was impressed too
Christine Wills l
“We are removing paint permanently” Is the single most important statement in this entire video.
DJGatortail with a DA polisher it would take more passes in a lifetime until any damaged was actually done to the car.
yup looks to be right
Recklessly Arrogant Give someone who has no idea what they’re doing an unsupervised hour.
@@recklesslyarrogant7242 name = true.
@@WilliamWonka fax we'll find a way👀
I own a black car... Yep is a biatch to keep clean, but looks better than any other car when buffed.
Refried Beans indeed
I have always said this "black cars look the best..........for about an hour then they look dirty".
Black is not a color, it's an occupation
also a base toner :-p
I had a black car some 12 years ago. Refused to ever get one again. Ended up with a black car purchased in the summer. Got a decent deal on it and looked to be well taking of. Ugh such a PITA. They do look nice when taking care of..
Me: "I polished my car with Meguiar's polish. Larry: "I polished my car with Barry Meguiar at his house.
@McDung him or his house, still funny.
Lol. But he really did in another video. So it's still funny as hell

As a detailer with just over 10 yrs. experience, its refreshing to listen to you guys. I really appreciate all the simple little tricks you and Kevin pass along, you guys are inspiring!
Scott Fugere thank you.
I was lucky enough to be invited to one of Larry's launch party\seminars a few years ago. He is the nicest person and very available to answer any questions. This brought me back to that day where I learned so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you Larry for taking the time to film and share these nuggets of knowledge with us.
A true master of buffing, the knowledge in this video is so golden! The 3d visualization was amazing too
Larry and Kevin are so knowledgeable, it just blows my mind. Huuuuge fan you guys and the pride and care you take in your job.
Seriously, just thank you for these videos! The knowledge gained from what I've seen thus far is just so invaluable!
One of the best channels on KZhead for production value and information in this field. Now add Mr. Meguiar in an interview? Over the top!
I encountered this on my last detail. '97 Viper GTS where the front clamshell has been re-painted, but the back half was original. Water and frequent pad cleaning/ adding more, not less polish was the solution. Seeing this in this form is amazing. Thank you for everything you do Larry, and Kevin. Amazing work as always.
Larry is gifted at explaining and teaching others, love the visuals you give. As a teacher myself, you are great at helping people understand the lesson you teach.
Awesome video. After 16 hours of polishing on a 2010 Mustang GT I bought 4 months ago I finally got it dialed in. I have been trained by one of the best in the country. Mike Phillips to be exact. It still took a lot of research and patience to finally get it to perfection. Every serious detailers should watch this video
I have a black car. I keep it in a vacuumed sealed plastic bag....
Driver 302: Thanks for the comment, I laughed myself silly. Bought a black metallic car a few months ago. My gosh, what a nightmare! I am obsessed with taking care of the clearcote. I have to check it constantly for even the tiniest blob of bird poop. I would LOVE to wrap it in plastic!!!
Cheril I wash mine. Then go inside to change my clothes. And by the Time I come back I have to start again. Just the dust alone that settles is enough to send me crazy. It’s a vicious circle.
Driver 302: I'm cracking up!! Your so right. Someone complemented me how nice my car looked (I had just washed it two days b4). I said "Oh my gosh, its filthy".
@Cheril I completely agree. Have a black Mercedes Benz SLK and when it's windy, 20 minutes later it's got a haze of dust already. It drives me nuts.
Scott Maxwell: Oh man, you are worse off than me. My car is just an Impreza and I am the only one who cares about how it looks. YOU on the other hand, having a showy sports car, have to keep it looking flawless because everyone is going to look at it.
Hey Kevin, it's amazing that buffing is being taught threw a video and on a black paint job on top of everything else. You know as well as I do that it takes a lot of practice to buff and lots of knowledge of different kinds of paint and paint conditions. On the other hand, it's nice to see that buffing information is easy to access and not a secret that has been kept to only the automotive paint industry.
Larry, this is the best video you've ever done! Thanks for this.
I love my Buff Daddy. What a brilliant fount of knowledge he is and above all else truly humble human being Kevin is. Larry these videos are amazing. Thank you. I can’t wait to get to the US to finally meet you guys.
Buff me daddy 😣
is that him on instagram? buff daddy? if so,i am following him,he is following me!
Clint L you own him.
Absolutely killer video Larry! So much prescription in detailing, this pad, this polish, this speed...I've spent hours researching. At some point you have to jump in, but at what risk? This is just the video that everyone NEEDS to watch. It's about process. Technique is easy, buying expensive s*#t is easy, but understanding approach and how to adapt, besides "start with the least abrasive" is difficult to put to words given the millions of cars and paint types...this is so well done, much appreciated. Thank you man!
Like always the best detailing videos. Larry thanks a lot for having kevin brown on your video and sharing the knowledge from a Professional poin of view
As always Larry another great video but even better with the knowledge Kevin and you share together.
Your production quality and quality of work is fantastic. One of my favorite channels on youtube. Thank you for presenting such great content.
There is certainly an element of science to the art of true paint correction. A big thanks for sharing these tips!
One of my favorite videos of yours Larry Kossila, which is really saying something!
When he said "what's up guys, I wanna hop in here before the video starts" I was thinking "oh no. Here comes an annoying sponsor ad, Larry sold out". And then he went on to say that he already washed and dried the car and then I remembered Larry is freaking awesome and does this because he wants to help us and educate us, not because he wants to make money off of us. Never stop doing what you do Larry. You're a huge inspiration to myself and tons of other people, and I appreciate your genuine passion and the effort you put into each and every video.
This could be a video on discouraging someone from doing their own detailing. In all these video's, I think I've heard 4 to 5 different cutting and sealing variations with several variations within each and at least 2 or 3 terminologies in regards to several steps of doing each process.
Polishing paint with these tools is no joke. It’s not super easy and you can ruin your cars paint. If this is too much information that you don’t care to learn or figure out, you probably shouldn’t try to polish your own car. You want easy, pay the money for a pro to do it.
Thank you so much AMMO NYC, because of your guy's wise knowledge, I am able to apply these techniques towards my business!
I bought a new black car about a month ago. I wanted to make sure I knew everything I needed to know when it comes to taking care of it. I ended up finding your channel and boy am I thankful that I did. Any question I can think of you have already made a video answering it. Thanks for all your hard work I appreciate it
The day I bought my black BMW my OCD levels jumped to the roof.
mine jumped off the roof, into an infinite fall
Well produced videos ! You break it down and make things simple and clear to understand . One of my mentors and go to companies for anything Detailing . Thanks Ammo NYC !
I am so grateful for this man. What a champ Barry is. All his products are bang on, high quality concours level stuff, AMMO NYC stuff is amazing too of course but Meguairs is just absolutely phenomenal and kept my car looking pristine.
Excellent Video ! Thanks to both Larry and Kevin.
Lots of great information in this video! Well presented and explained. Looking forward to number 3!
My dad had a black twin spinner Ford taxi in the early '50s which he used for weddings & funerals. After polishing it you could see streaks all over the paintwork. He would sprinkle corn flour over the car and then go over it section by section, lightly, with a polishing cloth. This completely removed the streaks with little effort.
We professionals like to call this the "KBM" or Kevin Brown Method. I learned more in a 20 minute phone call with Kevin than I have in 5 years of doing paint correction. 👍
Do you start with the normal amount of liquid and move to the KBM if it doesn’t work or do you just start with the KBM?
Barry is such a good dude! Every time I see him at SEMA he is always in a good mood and full of life. He is just a good guy to be around. I list him as one of my top 5 people in the industry to talk to.
Even tho being a professional car detailer you never stop learning new tricks. Thanks guys some great tips
Awsome, cant wait for episode 3, also love the 3D animation
Clean each panel with an IPA before starting. Larry is my reference to quality work.
Thanks for making these videos. Very helpful for beginners.
Spring is coming here in Minnesota and I’m pulling the black 996 out soon. I’m going to get busy now! Winter beater is silver so it will get some love. Blue Macan is in the running. So much to learn as I’m more a mechanic than a detailer. Great channel! Been watching this grow for years.
What a privilege to work with the best names in the industry Larry a job well done!! You are such an inspiration to me and to alot of aspiring detailers out there.
Thanks Larry! Can't wait for that interview in part 3!
Thank you so much for your tips I was able to detail my 1st F250 this past week, it was black and it was covered it in the kind of stain you use on wood. Came out looking buttery.
Thanks for taking the time for these videos, so informative. About to do a black 300SX in a couple weeks.
Great video as always. I've been watching Your videos (as a professional detailer) since 2014 and learned a lot. Love the editing and extra animations. Keep it getting better and of course KEEP IT CLEAN! Cheers from Poland :D
Larry you totally stepped it up with the 3D images/graphics man. Awesome job!!
Jordantastik du tooku mui fu nooku
thank you Guys for sharing all this knowledge with us, is nice to see two real Mater detailers being so humble and down to earth. Larry I am going to say this in a nice way of course, I am green with envy about you riding with Berry and driving such a nice car,
Great great video... !!! I've been detailing car's for years and started buffing recently and learning the science behind it (which I think is amazing) this video just tought me a hole bunch !!! So, thank you for the great video !!! 👍👍
Finally!!! You’ve been “KILLING ME LARRY” with posting 1 of 3!! I’ve literally been checking KZhead every day! I was SHOCKED about how little liquid was used on the last polishing step! I would have thought I needed to add a lot more
Andrew Campbell yeah me too on his other videos he shot with Kevin they say to prime all pad even foam then add 2 to 3 pea size drops
I had problems removing hazing today. Watched this video. Saw how little product he used and I tried it. Wow. Paint cane out flawless
No way he used that little amount and have an oily film left to wipe off. Just watch how lil you can see the polish when he starts to when he wipes it off this video is misleading and edited.
Appreciate this. Black paint has been my nightmare. I only have a 2013 Hyundai Accent but these videos help me make the most of my black paint. My paint looks better than 2018 models rolling out of factories. Thanks for all the tips. Your products also work great too for me.
Another great video Larry. Really like your products.
Brilliant as usual, Larry. Great stuff.
Hello, I live in Mexico and I am really grateful and above all surprised with everything that you give us as a teaching channel, thanks for sharing some of the people who know that giving is the same as receiving. winning, winning is the best investment in life. I honor and congratulate you from Mexico. Not to mention that until English I'm learning as I look for the way to translate everything you say and good in an article that you left the links to read in that where I learned your language. Thank you . I am an enthusiastic detailer and the truth is that I have been making some mistakes for some years, but with this I have made a huge leap into the present and excellence. Saludos desde México
You two are the best and Barry is just down right the MAN. I use a bunch of their products. I know what you were intending to do but I couldn’t help thinking dang its a black race car just go drive the hell out of it. You drive down the coast and just reversed the process! California sand is hell on paint. When your gonna drive the car make it look good from 5 feet and go enjoy the drive.
ON POINT !!! Thanks a mil !!!! This new technique intriguing
This video really explained some of the hardships I've been having on my 80s mercedes Smoke Silver paint. Part of it was overworking M105, but the residue and contamination aspects I think more explain why the compound residue was sticking so much.
Rollin with the big dogs Larry! Nice 👍🏼
Very good animations included, they really get the point across
Great production, well organized and very professional.
Iv'e learned so much from these videos, thanks Larry and Kevin :)
Thanks for bringing the masses content that is available for everyone for free Larry. Very much appreciated that I don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to take a class to learn from a professional.
Another great video Larry! The new graphics are really good.. as usual the advice is spot on too.
Larry, you are the man! Please do a curb rash video soon!
Finally I am getting my black car to actually look good. I have tried so many pads, polishers and products and it just never comes out like I see in everyones videos. Finally seen that I still had residue and my aint or area was not prepped right. I was using some harsh stuff that felt like sand and still it didn't make a difference still had the same swirls and scratches just more shine to it. I wasn't taking my time wasn't leveling down pads but most importantly my prep was garbage.
Amazing video. Kevin is awesome. Spoken with him several times.
Seems like a pretty sincere dude. Wants to help people. Those types tend to do well.
love the videos!! you help be be a better enthusiastic detailer ! GREAT CONTENT thanks
Just watched 2 of ur video and feel like a wealth of knowledge just handed over for free. Thanks
Excellent. Thank you for the video.
There is so much to learn, these guys are amazing 😯
Just bought a black truck and I knew what I was getting into. But it’s worth it.
I saw it well. It has helped a lot. I'll come back often.
All these guys in this vis are pros. The thumbs down can go fly a kite, they know what they are doing. Nice work.
LOL. Pros?. All types of prose, all levels of professionals or experts different areas of the country or world. Look at dr. Fauci nowadays. LOL
@@miragexl007 Pro only means that it is done for living/as your job. Being a professional does not make you better, but you better be better if you want to be a pro as you will be charging people for your work and they expect results 😉
It's refreshing to see professionals use readily available equipment and products. It shows you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get a quality result.
This is so helpful, great vid. Thanks :)
+1 on the water on dry residue after the mow-down cycle with compound. I sometimes even used the water compound slurry on the paint with the buffer to let the compound continue to do its thing (sometimes it would dry out prematurely due to the ambient temperature because we were in SC in the summer- indoors of course but still...) it almost always worked out. Before the age of inspection lights (early 1989) we would take it back out in the sun to do a CHECK. The sun would be a tell-tale sign of how we were doing. We have come so far now that it's unreal...
Fantastic and informative video , thanks dude.
Really cool video; so much knowledge being thrown out there! Meguiar's really puts out some fine products, and it was really cool to see the owner at the end; he looks like a hell of a nice guy!

Man.. I really respect detailers it’s a true art
Great work Larry!! GOLD mine of information here!!
These are excellent tips ... Thanks PS. Awesome seeing Barry again!!
I actually love your videos!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
great video! I really needed this info.
Chemical bazooka larry has a way to make this fun and his selection of his words is great
Larry i gotta say man I love your attention to detail.And I mean detail.
Larry, another fantastic video. I always learn something when you and Kevin get together. Many thanks to both of you guys.
Great information. Meguiars is a great brand.
I use to be nasaly until I started using mucinex. Great video guys!
Great tips! Looks real cozy inside that GT lol. I've never been able to rub shoulders with a passenger before.
Awesome series here, love this channel.
Great video bro , a lot of great information .
So much information in this video!!! I love it!! I'm really tired off all these mobile detailers makeing videos contradicting the steps that need to be taken. They play it off like this isn't important, or that isn't important....they keep watering down the detailing realm with bad, very bad information. Dont get me wrong I'm a mobile detailer but I dont make video after video of miss information and watering down the ideas and processes involved in correcting paint. I just dont get it. Disheartening at the least. What's worse is these guys feel like they are providing the correct information. My rant is over.. Hopefully someone else has seen this in the detailing community.
Nice seeing Barry! ROTW
***Great vid as always*** looking forward your next one :)
Awesome! You didn't let Stoops talk thou LOL.
I struggled for 2/3 of a car with the cutting process not working like normal. Watched this for the 80th time and voila. This definitely worked immediately.
Fantastic video!!
this show is the greatest man i cant wait to see more cool cars
WOW GREAT ANIMATIONS AND GREAT PRODUCTION VALUE!!
