this guy can clean my sins
Forgive me, Father Larry, for I have sinned! I ran my car through a car wash!
U wish
Forgive me, Father Larry for I washed my ride with great passion but did not use a cloth to dry it!
@@emadtungekar7664 Same here!!!
🤣🤣🤣
How could anyone find a man who cleans your car and sells it right away in the process? Amazing job as always!👍🏻
999vr
You do it by simply googling car sales 😂
The one doing the job, deserves the money. When you clean and boost the selling process you are just making the sell faster and may be a couple bucks which will never pay your working time. Larry is cleaning (doing his main job basically ) and finding cars that are way bellow their market value so the profit he makes can actually pay part of his work, but he also is creating content for us and memories for himself. He also will never have a problem with selling a car since he have so much fans and “influence”.
He could've sold it to me instead of leaving it in that crap yard with the guy who neglects cars.
@@kevinmcd112 yeah I would like one of those too
2:59 Now that is a handshake if I've ever seen one!
Daaaamn
I'm incredibly sad that it's being added to a collection instead of to someone who will drive it...but man, what a wonderful transformation
Agree 100%
Exactly. Some MB lover like me would have taken care of it instead of going back to sitting.
That guy's cars are commissioned to be used in movies!
exactly my thoughts
Now it can go back to collecting dust again. It's destined to be dusty.
Watching because I always learn more about paint correction. This paint correction was amazing
two detailing youtubers I watch what what keep up the deatils Stauffer and ammo nyc
Hey Stauffer! I do the same for my detailing business haha, learned plenty from you and ammo!
@@micahellsworth ammo is OG and the go to for me when it comes to technique. I remember seeing the mclaren f1 way back and said “yep, he is the one to learn from”
Stop advertising your channel on here Stauffer
Hey Stauffer. Gave up any more kids lately?
Remember the center rear view mirror is power adjustable, don’t try moving it by hand. Also those engine writing harnesses are extremely fragile if they weren’t replaced with the updated revised harness. They were biodegradable on their insulation. Super awesome car!
Only on the later ones.
@@jthomas7631 The electric mirrors on my w210 has held up for 22 years now though..
Yeh engine cleaning usually means water gets where it shouldnt and Corrosion. Looks good sure, until you have to replace a spark plug and realise water penetrated and corroded the threads.
@@str8forthakill As with everything you can do engine cleaning the right or the wrong way.
This is one of my favourite Mercedes-Benz models ever! The W140 - with the W124 and W201 - chassis were the last of a dying breed of over-engineered vehicles. This specific model, the S600 V12, was the higher-end of this chassis, so all the best available at that time was through in. I am very glad to see you preserve a unit of this amazing car! I cleaned many times my father's W201, and I remember loving seeing a clean rim - which was pretty much similar to those ones you cleaned. Cheers Larry!
Same here
I worked at a carwash in 1997 and had a customer with this same car. It was a beast! I loved diving it, even though it was only a few meters at less than 10 mph. The car was immaculate! 😃👍
Nice job, Larry. Can't commend you highly enough on the removal of the false badge, and being able to return it to stock so seamlessly.
Brabus’s look good, but their power figures are all kinds of messed up
@@Amor1990 Brabus's what look good?
@@Amor1990 The thing is that the car ain't a Brabus themed in no way someone just placed the tags out of troll i guess
I always admire Larry’s ability to know exactly how far to go, not trying to bring the S600 to a like new look. Such great experience.
21:48 "his door was already open so I had a grand entrance" >camera man already in the garage
Crazy to think there's a generation of engineers at Mercedes whose life work was building that car Nicely done Larry! Also thanks for all the "will it starts" to these videos, it really wraps up the transformations well
The w140 didn't have a developpement budget, as such it is hideously overengeneered.
This car turned into a freaking mirror. Ive watched so many videos and my gosh it never fails to satisfy! I watch a lot of renovations in all forma, jewelry, old electronics, homes, woodwork, vehicles, planes; you name it; but compared to AMMO i have never seen so much dedication and pure talent and effort put into renewing anything! Keep it up please, this is my daily therapy!
I heard one of these things went past me just today, the V12 sounds amazing
Mercedes black paint is one of the nicest before-after transformations you will see. I had one detailed a few years ago and the paint blew me away in person.
These cars never get old. You make me smile today ☺️
This and the Lexus LS 400 were dream cars of mine. I’m in my mid 40’s and growing in private schools, these things both were pinnacles. Get job Larry. Sincerely appreciate the content. Best to you and the shop. Keep them coming. Man that two tone black and grey hit so hard.
This went to the wrong hands though.
@@yass123 agree
this auto with the V12 was described as a juggernaut by auto magazine. it needs to be exercised
Lovely to see a Mercedes here again. Thank you Larry!
I can’t help but be amazed at the work that Larry accomplished here. Reminds me of when I was stuck on a freeway near San Antonio and Larry pushed me and the car all the way to a gas station. Incredible as always Larry!
Omg, the difference, before and after. Especially after the polishing. Amazing work, Larry!!
Absolutely love this video! I always love seeing the before and after! Always really well done! Keep up the amazing work Larry!
I’ve had a 3k mile black IS-F in storage for many years. I got one of those instagram famous detailers to come in about a year ago to give it some love. It looked exactly like this Mercedes did the day after he left. The buffer trails were absolutely insane.
need a real detailer to fix
"instagram famous detailers" There's your problem right there
These videos will always be my favorite detailing videos, you are incredibly thorough and in the process of being so explain why you do what you are doing. Always love it.
You know how Larry loves his craft. He still learns every single day but is very humble. Seeing detailing KZheadrs watching him for technique and tips, you know he got the skills to back it up without saying. Nice video, as always!
This was an incredible turnaround for this beautiful car Larry. The before and after is absolutely incredible on this car! A very rare car indeed the V12 model of this car could go from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds not to mention the incredible luxury feel of this car. Mercedes has always done in right when it comes to luxury automobiles this is a very good one Larry I love it.
My jaw dropped when I saw the Brabus badge then massive disappointment !
@@jayfxdx yeah me too!
@@jayfxdx wrong grille, brabus badge. Somethings not right with this S600 😅
@@jayfxdx I love brabus tho especially the Rocket 900 go check that car out if you like it's my dream car
Even the original brabus if i am ot wrong with 7.3l enhine never made 4.6sec to 100 kmh ahaha its not fast car had one lucky day going slightly down hill maybe around 8sec...its heavy as f**k
Great job as always Larry and team. The W140 Benz will always be one of my favorites. Rock solid, great looks, comfy interior and the ride was incredible on the highway.
Wash working on the W140 is the best feeling ever. Time runs so fast, and you’re never done. There’s so many of those little inches to cover, and more you do, the more you feel something else could be done to keep it neat! Good job Larry!
Best at what you do --- Hands down! Keep up the great work, videos are AMAZING!
Something about seeing older cars looking super clean is so satisfying. Great job with this one, AMMO :)
This is definitely my new favorite video in the "first wash in...." series. This car looks amazing after the detail!
Thanks for your videos been watching for years. I now detail on the side for extra money when someone needs their vehicle done. There's so much pleasure seeing someone's face light up and tell you the car looks better now than when they bought it. 🙏
This is a DREAM car....I just love those old S-classes, especially these. Wow!!!! Wish I could get one to detail. Brilliant job, as usual!!
This Mercedes it's alive !!!!! No words the 50/50 Great job Larry 👌 As always Sorry for my English 😢 I want to improve it and learn detail with your advice , I'm detailing, but no like you , you are so great you are pro That's why I like your videos Thanks Larry 👍
Love the 50 50 before and after on this paint!!! Super job Larry!
You are amazing. I watched the entire episode with some kind of joy. It is also very important to revive a classic like the S600 because they don't make car like that anymore. Thanks again.
You’re a real magician with old faded cars. Absolutely amazing work.
There is nothing more satisfying for me than polishing or seeing really badly swirled and oxidised paint being polished. It still looks and feels like total pure magic to me.
Maybe it’s just me but I love seeing the inner barrel of the tire cleaned. So satisfying.
That’s one of those things that separates pros from armatures out in the field. I used to do mobile detailing and you wouldn’t believe the difference it makes. Especially on big aftermarket wheels where you can see it easily. Customers knew you did your best if you did that. That, and streak free glass and cleaning visor mirrors. Customers noticed and outs you a step above. Like exhaust tips. Hell I can go on and on lol.
Like cleaning out something stuck in your teeth
Hearing the sound of that engine was priceless.Brilliant finish from the bloke with polish.Have a great day!
Can we just appreciate the incredible handshake the tow driver handed out? Good lawd! It was like a high five and a firm grip.
As always, amazing detail. I’d love to have one of those now. Suspension kit, modern wheels, brakes, etc. Would love it
Keep up the good work!!!
I have been watching your videos for some time now and I must say hands down you are definitely by far the best of the best car dealer.
Best parts of these vids is seeing the honeycomb lights on the shiny hoods! Great stuff.
I very much appreciate the job you have done on that beautiful W140. One question came up though: Doesn't the foam and water mixtures affect the electronics around the engine and the inside?
that car so clean and beautiful
Brilliant thanks for sharing your time with me this was very informative being shown what to do on swirls cheers IAN UK.
Digging the evolution and tightening up of your videos Larr. Cheers man. Luv seeing the community of folk in the telling of your stories.
Love the paint correction content. It looks like a lot of product used - is that to manage the residue coming off the paint ?
Correct
The W140 was my first Mercedes, and still my favorite S class. While my brand new W223 is technologically incredible, the build quality is nowhere near the marvel that was the W140 25 years ago
ROFL, how did you came up with that name? "KOT" means literally "s.h1t" in German. Sorry man!
@@grossmeister1181 Keep on Trucking.
@@kottuning3294 I see, I see. Might not be a big deal in the US, but you really shouldn't use that name in Germany ;) ;)
@@grossmeister1181 your name literally means 'master of sh1t' in english..not sorry..probably dont use it in any other part of the world..
I have loved the W140 body style since they came out in 1992. You did a phenomenal job of bringing one of the best vehicles back to life! Always enjoy your videos!
This video was therapeutic for me as it was for you Larry. A lot going on in life and your videos help me decompress.
Larry have you ever applied these polishing techniques to motorbike panels / paint? ive got very light swirling on my 16 year old Ninja 636 and wondered if this would work on it but have no idea if motorbike paint is lacquered in the same way or the depth of paint.. would be interested to know what approach you think is best for it?
Try some meguiar's ultimate compound on a soft cloth and just polish away, it will make a huge difference.
Very light swirling doesn’t need the technique. Did you actually watch the video, he explains it in the video.
I don't know If you can get manlier than 16:04
I love watching these videos. It’s like going to school every time I watch. I learn so much. Salute to you and your team.
That Brabus logo was messing up with my mind 😅 Thank you! 🙏🏻🌺🥂
Same.
@@texasknight5175 😅
Always ultra high quality work Larry, the transformation was almost unbelievable, well done and thanks for the video
Many years ago I watched a wash vid by Drive and saw comments about Larry. The years it wasn't a trend to clean cars. I saw a passionate man with no bs. I supported and kept following until I ran into Guru. Wow, 2 unmatched car detailers. I used to wash fam cars only, ended getting a moto and I dont really have to deal with cars but I do something see the videos that have me speechless. This guy cleans even the under area, treats the car so unalloyed. Keep it up brother 💪
Thx bud!!!
What a finish Larry. That looked like one of those jobs where half way through you sometimes feel like giving up. Definitely worth it! Well done
I've always been a fan of the S600. There's just something about the style. Nice work Larry!
Rare for me to comment despite how much I love your videos...But this car. To me, its the perfect car. absolutely love it. Thank you for bring it back to life.
You inspired me to get a proper detailing training and maybe one day I will also do what I find satisfying on a daily basis. Thanks!
incredible how well built these old mercedes are, the quality of that leather and the paint is amazing, it immediately become back new after just cleaning i
Amazing video Larry ! Trying to learn more on my part about paint correction, not an easy task but will make it happen ! Have a great day everyone !
Larry excellent job. You sir giving joy to many people 👌. Not to mention your passion is appreciated 👌
Your quality of video is just AMAZING! The picture clarity and outstanding sound is so impressive. Gives me something to strive for in my videos! And your detailing is top notch!!
Yesss my favorite posts are modern classics and daily driver paint corrections
As always Larry thanks for a great video!
Amazing work as always. I think this car started off in the best shape of any I’ve seen you work on.
What a beautiful Benz! I really appreciate people like you who take pride in preserving automotive history like this. Without you in the equation this may have gotten a $200 detail and been in a scrapyard a year from now. Awesome job!
Another great job Larry, keep it up!😎👏🏻
This channel is my therapy, keep up the good work brother.
Loved seeing this beautiful W140 S-Class get restored to its former glory. Great job and great video! 👍👍
I love these videos. They calm my mind. Superb job as always, so glad you felt the same about the Brabus stickers! 🙂
It's so satisfying to see beautiful, older, impressive vehicles brought back to greatness. What a wonderful video.
The quintessential BossMan car. Greatest ever made. (Have '93 300SE with 320,000km on it).
Love it when a new video comes out! Thanks Larry, great job on the car!
Spectacular!!! Always look forward to watching these.
Amazing results! Proud of you!
It is so satisfying to watch, great job guys! Love your work.
Larry I always love your videos and the knowledge you provide. I'm laughing because I had a video from a few months ago with the same title but not a v12. But it's so great to see your version and I always look forward to the next. 👍
I'm 55 and I've always taken care of my rides. You always teach us new tricks on how to clean.
Larry and crew are the GOATS! Larry is the GOAT of detailing for real.
I see an AMMO NYC video, instant serotonin supercharge for me. As always, I really enjoyed the video so much.^^
The paint looks fresh and new. And the inside looks great again. Beautiful job.
i really enjoy watching your car detailing and everything... sorta like a satisfaction to me.
I always wish your videos were a bit longer Larry, love the cleaning process. Love from Manchester, UK 🇬🇧
Incredible results Larry! True mastery! 🌟
Love your videos. Inspired me to start detailing motorcycles. Very educational.
Great video Larry. I love these early W140s before the styling was toned down. Much maligned for decades, I think the design has aged very well now.
the difference is night and day. superb job Larry. it's a painstaking job, and your results speak for themselves.
This was another I thought didn’t look bad...and didn’t realise how incredible it would look afterwards, great video!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks. The w140 s600 is a legend
I like the way you aren’t shy to wear correct PPE, setting a good example to others
This is an amazing process ! Great video. You are the Boss
Very helpful video as I’m going to polish my car with halos tomorrow! What a coincidence. 🙏🏻
The mighty v12 still in love with that engine !
Beautiful job. The transformation was. 😍. Glad to see that merk live on to movie status now
Wow. Amazing skills… as someone with a Jag Fpace in black, I’m always conscious of the finish and find it a real challenge.. well done 👍🏻
Love it, keep up the good work Larry!!
