The last time I started a new 12 Step program it was because I woke up naked at a public bus stop.
OMG That's funny!!!!!
Imagine how the other people waiting at the stop felt! They said it was a pretty cold day...
But was it the right bus ?
I find it fucking awesome how passionate this dude is about detailing and the level of expertise he has on the matter and his own products. Not even a salesman but makes me want to buy and use the products. Way to go man. Maybe someday I'll be calling you up for this same service lol. Also just a heads up, BMW has high performance carbon ceramic brakes as an option which are sensitive to strong chemical cleaners. We're instructed to use nothing more than soapy water to clean the brakes as needed to not damage or saturate the carbon ceramic material in the pads and discs with said chemicals as it can reduce the performance and life of the brakes. They also use a zinc alloy coating on the calipers to prevent dirt from sticking and rust from forming. I have a feeling you already know this haha but I though I'd throw it out there.
I think he is a salesman tho, but he has a great approach, and actually helps people, he doesnt just push people to buy his products
@@yaron1998 honestly he talks equally as good about meguiar's as his own stuff, humbleness bro
The problem with ccb’s is really with the rotor hats and calipers
Im a fairly new viewer of this channel but I can immediately notice how much passion he has for his craft, its insane! Good job, Larry!
Just a little testimony for anybody new to larrys channel. After buying a 17 midnight tahoe, I was torn between car pro and ammo's products. I chose ammo because of how informative Larry is about his products with his youtube. The initial cost is high to do this process but the products last for more than one application. Reflex, skin, and cream with a cr spotless works magic. After a 3000 mile month long road trip, my first wash. I can honestly say it looked just as clean as the day I was done applying the ammo products. Great stuff and I am looking forward to my next purchase.
You'd be kicking yourself if you actually tried CarPro products. Gyeon and CarPro are dominating the market right now and for a good reason. Try CarPro Hydr02, Gyeon Wet Coat and you'll never go back too "applying" anything. Their Ceramic coatings are absolutely insane too.
I love this kind of thing man, makes you feel so good when you walk up to a car that's literally glowing
Larry you need to get your products on Amazon. Your videos are far superior to any detail vids out there.
Products slightly outwith my budget as a hobbyist but by god I love your attention to detail and enthusiasm. It rubs (or buffs!) off in every video and I love watching. Thank you Larry.
I’m just getting into detailing my own BMW, so I’m a year or so “behind” watching your videos. Great job! Thank you!
I clay every time I plan to do any paint correction and/or wax. I really couldn't imagine not doing it. Great tips in this video. Thanks.
Fantastic advise yet again Larry. The interior windshield cleaning tip with IPA and a scrub pad.. love it!!
It's the Details that brings your customers back. Thumbs up to you.
Great job Larry. The effort involved in your processes is top class.
Hey Larry you should do a car wash tutorial for the public coin car wash bays for us that don't have a drive way
Unparalleled professionalism Larry! You are simply the best giving advice on how to prep and detail your car. Your HQ videos are stunning and easy to follow. I know you have made a video on how to restore Carbon Fibre, but I would like to see one on how to restore your motorcycle fairing. As you probably know many bike components are made of plastic and they tend to fade with time, so what tips can you give to make your bike look new again.
There is no one more thorough, more customer-oriented, and more fun to watch than Larry. He is THE ultimate detailing professional in my opinion. Not to mention, he's the nicest guy! Go Larry!
1. Buys a beautiful new car, spotless to the naked eye. 2. Washes it immediately
I need to get you a pressure washer for the garage ASAP!
Obsessed Garage please Matt, I'm tired of watching him use that hose foam cannon. Hahahaha
😂
IKR where can I get that thing?
By far the best detailing channel on KZhead. Very well spoken and doesn’t complain about what people say. Just sticks to his work and the topics at hand. His professionalism really shows. 👍🏻
Larry, thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us, another great video! Such a beautiful car, too. Enjoy your day man!
I was genuinely excited to get home from work so I could watch a new video from Larry. It didn't disappoint :D
Excellent. Thanks once again Larry. There is not one video you have done where I didn't learn something. My son and I try to do our best with our cars and you sharing efforts make things that much better.
By far the best detailing videos on KZhead, thank you Larry. My Mustang looks amazing having used your advice / methods.
Great information. Your videos on auto detailing are second to none. Thanks for all the work you put into them. Your attention to detail is so well thought out you make my inner clean freak jealous.
This guy Larry is amazing ! I love everything he's doing ! Amazing work man !
Larry’s analogy’s, you gotta love em
Larry I have learned so much from your videos. I only own a Jeep unlimited and seeing these cars you work on from EXOTIC to Honda`s is amazing. Keep the videos coming and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
im glad i own a shitty car rn so i can practice every washing move down to the bone on it ,once im ready for the new car i wont hav any mercy on its cleanliness, birds will wipe their own shit off it
Lmao I'm dead after the "birds will wipe their own shit off it" lmao
Jinzo 315 I I had this old Hyundai for about 12 years and there was a time where I didn't wash it for like 5 or 6 years. that's why I'm watching this video - it's all new to me.
the attention to detail and conscientiousness he has is something to admire and strive towards.
As always...GREAT video! I'm having to go through this on my own car. Has major "dealership rash" in black paint. Spider webbing, holographs....the works. Keep up the awesome videos Larry! Always a treat to watch.
The attention to detail is superb! Easily the best car detail video on KZhead 👍🏼👏🏼
This is a good review/overview of detailing a car for weekend hobbyists like me. I appreciate it!
Hey Larry! Thank you so much for a lenghty and highly clear and informational video, awesome to see "the full lenght" job, remember, for us who have followed you since day one and seen all your videos on the internet, multiple youtube channels, and watched the videos before heading out to work on our own cars just to get fresh information again, we LOVE the full lenght geeky stuff, as you said in the video, people might just pick and choose what works for them, and what is necessary for their car, but by all means, keep recording the "full lenght nerdy larry style" for lack of better words: "we love that shit! my inner OCD-cleaning hormones and feeling shoot out and gets satisfied, this video is a relaxing and terapeutic thing to watch for us with "ocd cleaning syndrome" lol! Thank you again, and can`t wait for the hopefully "3 hour long" 964 video (haha no pressure) :D Best regards, Ozzy from Norway :D
Constantly blown away by these video. Simply some of best on the net
Great video Larry! Absolutely loving all of my AMMO products. Keep up the great work!
I'm always amazed how passionate this guy is about washing cars :) Kudos.
With a car like this , surely paint protection film is the best way to make sure the paint safe . Love this guys attention to detail ... Amazing work .
Great job Larry. You are one of the most detail oriented guys I've ever seen. Thanks
xenfreder you must have never watched *Obsessed* Garage
Love that you framed the MSRP sticker 👍
As always nice work Larry. I just about did this exact process with my new M3.
Whenever you clay its important to know that its an abrasive so it will always leave haze or fine scratches when you finish claying. So if you clay, you should plan to compound and polish out the fine scratches and haze. Its best to clay once, then seal it and always be prudent with maintenance washes in order to avoid claying ever. Unless as stated above, you need to.
Great video mate! Still loving your facial emotion when buffing and washing stuff.
No doubt in my mind at all.... This guy loves (and I mean REALLY LOVES) his job.
Your videos are Gold! Very inspirational.
Thank you for another excellent video Larry, very insightful!
No video in for a while but when one comes out it's as expected! Good work!
1st Class video as always Larry. Love the colour as well.
I always learn so much when watching your videos
Always makes my day better when i see a new ammo video!
BEST DETAILER ON KZhead.......GREAT WORK
The attention to detail is everything
Damn all your videos are so great and "deaply explaining" without being boring. Just love every single one of them!
Great video Larrry. Love the passion.
Great...we all go overboard with info. I JUST RAN ACROSS U..lol on KZhead. I respect you going out a finding top pro's and in general information on auto prep..repair of paint...wash.. detail..ect. I'll continue to plug in. Thanks for the lessons.
LIKED, Not just because of the fantastic vid but for framing the window sticker. Awesome.
Thanks for the video Larry Amazing car this M3 I try your 3 Microfiber method for the glass during my next wash regiment
I kind of wished I'd done a video of cleaning my Focus Rs when I got it, I wasn't this extreme but a clay bar was a must.. The roads in the UK are terrible and clay bar proved that. Keep meaning to take all the wheels off and dress them properly
this is not the video we've been waiting for... #waitingforthe964
Thank you for the video and passion for cars man.
Extremely overboard and I love it. I guess, we detail oriented minds, will always strive for that perfect finish no matter how long or overboard it might seem.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoy watching your videos.
BMWs have great paint. To bad they break down and are built with issues from the get go. Leasing one is the only way to go. Great work Ammo!
Another Awesome Ammo video.. thanks for all the tips!
Larry is the only man I would trust to detail my cars.
Someone will end up with a pristine M3 once his lease is up
This, what a waste of money. "Save $5k on the lease" immediately spend $1500 to get the car detailed. It's not even his car, why detail it like that?
Hugely financially irresponsible move for a guy who prides himself on his financial genius.
exactly my thoughts, Even if I had a car for a few months, I would still keep it on point
First, these AMMO detailing videos are technically extremely well done, not taking anything away from them or Larry K. on that front. But I totally understand billybobjoe198's point. You can keep a "showroom" shine on a brand new car (that you're restricted to driving ~10k/year) over the term of a lease with 1/100th the effort/expense of the type of detailing Ammo is doing. On a lease? Wash the car as needed and apply a synth. sealant 2X a year, and it's going to basically look perfect still after only 3 years. All this other stuff is making sure the paint will still be perfect 5, 7, maybe even 10, years down the road. Totally pointless on a lease. I mean, knock yourself out if 'car detailing' is literally your hobby and source of enjoyment.
@@billybobjoe198 5k off on this price point of vehicle isnt that great.
Windows sticker in the frame is cool! Wish I had the stickers for my cars, but got them used.
Great video. Very informative and interesting to watch as always.
Thanks for the tips for the clay bar!
Another great video Larry!
Talk about above and beyond: framing the window sticker? You are THE best! Most people throw it away... I wish I had the window sticker for any of my cars. Also so glad to see you combine claying with the wash instead of wasting money on clay lube.
Larry, any plans on releasing those AMMO NYC wash, rinse, and wheels bucket stickers?
The Bonus bird pop stain removal helped SOOO much.
Love the 3 towel method to clean Glasses!!! I have just bougth the Meguiars perfect clarity spray.
Larry, are you a wizard?! Buying a new car tomorrow! You, sir. Are a Legend!
I just bought a brand new Mazda CX5 three weeks ago. This video makes me feel like a failure.
You just bought a brand new car. I'd say you're doing pretty well ;)
Ha! Yes, I'm really proud of the car. But as they were pulling off the stickers from the interior panels, I was seriously thinking "Larry Kosilla would not approve of this." I live in Phoenix, don't have a garage at home and don't have covered parking at work, so my paint takes an absolute beating. I also have a 3 year old, so I don't have the time I wish I did to take care of the car. I'm happy if I can keep a good coat of wax on it through the summer.
Michael I have that same thought a lot when I'm taking a shortcut due to time. "Larry would not like this but...."
Michael is it 2017
Yes, waited for the redesign. Love it.
That window sticker thing is something special
Ammo nyc videos are life.
Great video Larry!
I've learned a lot with your channel, thanks!
Man your videos are amazing
Great video, thanks for the soup to nuts video. Keep up the great work!
@17:24 NO NO NO that is not dorky, that is REALLY COOL, great idea
another great video Larry! I've got an idea for a video we all know what you do and you love it. how about doing a video on the products you use that aren't ammo ( as we all know they are brilliant) but the other products on a full detail just an idea 💡 keep it up!
Cool idea to frame the window sticker. I would have really appreciated you doing that for my new 17 Grand Sport!
Love the line of the guy driving around his new leased BMW M3 and getting a bird bomb on it. I find it karma that he is strutting around like the big rooster, with his all flash, no cash fleece deal.
This video came in handy when my mom got a new Hyundai Sonata, it was raining that week and the whole process of them wanting to detail i for free had my doubts; sure enough she took it, I fixed it when it came back, a brand new Sonata off the floor with swirls and what not even some wax build up, luckily a 15 hour work in my garage at home I was able to make it much better and it ended up being the fact all her co workers wanted me for detailing 🤣 Thank you sir
epic video. Larry is the guy. Thanks.
Looking good.
How come I haven't been seeing your stuff at Walmart lately?
Larry after seeing a baby pic of you washing your pedal powered red STP Car, towel and bucket, same as today- my Faith is firmly rooted in your detailing expertise. This isn’t something you do for work, it’s actually part of you and who you are! You’re Amazing! D*mn!
thanks!
Larry I really hope the 964 video is about 3 hours long and a total nerd fest!
Aron Bell you are the third person on this feed to mention the 964...please, for the uninitiated can you tell what the 964 is? 🤔
a 964 is Larrys 1990s porsche 911. 964 relates to the model
Kenny Whittle cheers 👍🏻
Just started on my brand new Corvette Grand Sport today. Everything looked good until I got the Rupes light out. I have small water spots that makes the car look like it has a bad case of the measles.... LOL. Rupes yellow foam pad and M205 and it looks awesome. Going to finish it up tomorrow. Kevin Brown hooked me up with the new gear and polishes. I have all of the Ammo products ready to go on the car. Showed my wife what was going on ( I bought the car for her) and she was floored with the before and after.
Best detailing Channel on KZhead no doubt
i just love this content
love your videos!
Very nice job!!!
Learned a lot thank you.
Thanks you for this! I just bought a new car last friday.
Step 1: Get ready a truckload of car detailing stuff. Step 2: Try to get Step 1.
Your the greatest Larry
haha I just bought a new car and came home to this fantastic surprise. Thanks mate!!
Hamburger shape... It's a circle, Larry! Call it a circle! haha. Thanks for the fun video; Planning a brand new car this year and will want to protect it.
