$1,000,000 Ferrari Paint Restoration and Car Detail

[@jackaslope]

It's amazing just how deep into detailing cars you are. Like, it's borderline obsessive. So much respect for you and what you do.

[@rmtheg234]

Haters are gonna hate, If you love your job who cares what others say. People are the happiest when they love their job.

[@AMMO-NYC]

rmtheg234 Agreed. Hasnt slowed me down :)

[@24MartinONDS]

AMMO NYC Keep it up. Great video. What kind of compound did you use? Something grinding?

[@iluvpink2009]

+rmtheg234 right! i think this guy is adorable *-*

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Who's hating?

[@timothygray7412]

525 don't like this and I feel sorry for them Larry is a top guy and I love this content

[@NeXGenStudio1]

I must say I am a little shocked at some of the comments. I believe this guy has a passion for what he does something that many proffesionals don't have. Simply put if every person who offers a service regardless of what it is took this great amount of care when applying their trade craft then there wouldn't be a need for Angies List. Keep doing what you do; you are a shinning example of true craftsmenship.

[@brissiAU]

I do not care what people say this is not a man doing his job it is an artist working on a pure art, learnt a lot from this video, thanks.

[@bodies3132]

Too much talking? I disagree. He is passionate about what he does. Id rather have too much info than not enough. I enjoy watching him and learning from him the way he does it. Perfect.

[@FP5Gaming]

This guy is like the LinusTechTips of detailing haha

[@chasemaclaren9324]

I'm not the only one!

[@Mournful3ch0]

Zach Bennett Wheres Luke? Will there be a WAN for car care product news?

[@protmflash1410]

I also thought that was Linus but the only thing is different is his voice

[@Jergialipananu]

Zach Bennett I'm pretty sure Larry isn't a Homosexual.

[@XxSleepyShadowxX]

Zach Bennett LarryAutoAdvice LOL

[@ignaciomiranda7579]

why people says that this is not a real job..."I find it amusing if the young man is standing at a bar and a gorgeous Blond is asking him "what do you do for a living", "essentially,I polish and wash cars"... "excuse me" she replies" I need to chat with that ugly heart surgeon in the corner"...let me tell you buddy.. i rather be alone that to be with a woman that only cares how much money i make... jeez....so many hollow people in this world. i see his videos and the only thing that i wanna do is call this fella and restore my cars...he is the most professional restorer that ive seen...he loves what he does..there for he is not working...he is having fun every day and getting paid for what he does...that fellas.. is hard to achieve in life.

[@2011blueman]

My problem is that he's wasting his intelligence and OCD on washing cars. Someone with this much passion and OCD could be doing something much more valuable for society, and himself for that matter, than washing cars.

[@18PGAbound]

Leggo My Ego If this is what he enjoys doing everyday, it is not a waste.

[@inspectorpoirot6076]

Leggo My Ego I agree with Steve, he doesn't owe society anything. If it's what he enjoys, there's nothing more valuable he can give to himself.

[@2011blueman]

***** fair enough. That's a well reasoned response (rare on youtube comments).

[@inspectorpoirot6076]

Leggo My Ego And good of you to understand it too. :) Also rare.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Steven Hatfield: thx for your note. It's true, I only mention the Honda civic because its one of the most common vehicles on the road. It's because they are great cars! :) I never judge or put-down cars... I drive a $2000 Chevy impala with 204k miles. I'd be happy with a civic!!!!

[@ImFinishingMyCoffee]

You did the factory proud, my friend. The products were your tools but your passion made the difference.

[@mackdiesel6437]

I've learned so much from this guy just watching his videos. So I say thank you for documenting your experiences and starting this KZbin channel. My car and motorcycle never looked better with your instructions.

[@crashthestash]

This guy is an artist. Love the passion. Great speaker/teacher/.

[@CameronRDavis]

Larry you are such an inspiration. Your passion and willingness to share your knowledge is so humbling and motivating. Not many people would lie down on the floor with a camera while detailing a million dollar car just to teach others. Never change!

[@danielpardo657]

One thing's sure, this guy loves his job and that is great.Good job

[@AMMO-NYC]

No its clay designed for cars. Not childrens clay. Compound is D300 in this episode. The spray is AMMO Spit Spray wax. Thx

[@YT_APN]

Wow, so much hate! Larry talks so much because he is passionate about his work and about the incredible machines that he works on. Easily worth a few grand to make this Ferrari look like $1M

[@AMMO-NYC]

Its all good. Everyone has an opinion. My techniques seem to work and the customers seem to be happy.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks bud...(there are always going to be haters. Its cool. I'm just trying to help and have fun. As long as I'm not offending, hurting, or otherwise disrespecting anyone I'll keep making vids bec they are fun!) Thx again everyone for looking out for me. Happy detailing!

[@MrAramaniac]

I just don't get why people hate, why wouldn't this be a job? How many of you guys are actually doing something that you love... haters..

[@tristonw.3569]

+MrAramaniac If the rich bitches don't want to get there hands dirty, why not take their money?

[@mikeh6564]

+Triston W. Exactly. Especially if this guy is that much of a beast at it! I wish I was as steady, knowledgeable, and skilled as him. It's really entertaining watching him work.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Kristian you might be right... In this particular case you're not exactly right. This guy paid more because he wanted this particular car to finish his collection. A car, house, book, or shirt is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. He paid more because he wanted. I agree with you, he probably over paid. Nonetheless it's what is "worth". thx for watching

[@Dougfrilled]

Wow, I have always enjoyed detailing so much, I do it for my family for free and I love seeing someone so excited to achieve an excellent finish.

[@ElJA3III]

@@letmeinn1674 lol!

[@LouisFrankMotorcars]

Fantastic process! The feeling of paint correcting a car to a true detailer, is one of the most satisfying tasks! For all those looking to correctly compound your vehicle this is your video! Great job Larry!

[@hanzbe420]

nothing better than watching someone do a job they like doing. They no so much about it and get so good cause they like doing it. And in todays world this is where you wanna be.

[@AMMO-NYC]

It's ok..thanks for the support. Some peps are not going to like and that's cool. I respect everyone's opinion. Its all good. :)

[@ZudoWasHere]

Awesome job..... your attention to detail definitely pays off..... keep em coming.....

[@tscooter22]

The 288 GTO has always been a favorite of mine. Beautiful, clean lines. Simply awesome!

[@JakobHighRoller]

Invest in a pair of kneepads!

[@voltairee3012]

Jakob Johnson I was going to suggest just that. You would think he would have a pair already.

[@joevs21001]

Once again, Larry does an incredible job. He brings his vast (and I do mean VAST) amount of knowledge and experience to us regular folks and painstakingly details how he approaches each of his detailing jobs. There are a lot of detailing folks around the United States (and World for that matter) that do this business, but Larry is up there in the top 5% of people doing this stuff. He is what I describe as a LIFER in the detailing business. His heart and soul are in this and you can tell

[@2233golf2]

I like this guy-he is crazy,-but in a good way....... Its always wonderful to see,when somebody really likes his/her profession! Great job!

[@LBigJake14]

Going back and watching these videos is incredible. Talk about progress, from a van, to a multilevel detailing studio with a few dream cars along the way.

[@SuperMirco1998]

the f40 behind the gto is so cool and scary

[@AMMO-NYC]

Richard, I didn't use a rotary because it wasn't necessary to restore this "particular" paint. Super rare soft single stage paint does not require that much torque to fix. Thx for the great question!

[@KiddxKlutch]

I can honestly say that the responses on this video have got to be some of THE dumbest comments I've ever read. From, "You use spit to clean up smudges? your a hack!"(You meant YOU'RE by the way). To, "DO NOT use that buffer/polisher equipment". You just told a professional detailer to NOT use the tools of his trade. You do realize this, correct? Are you telling me you would try to "lift" those scratches on the fender and lower door panel by hand? You would be the detailer that I would NOT take my car to. Uneven, deep cuts into my clear, and I would no longer be a client of yours. That's for sure. And I won't even address the "$1,000,000 detail" comment. Lol

[@101Volts]

I'm agreeing with you although I can see where a person might get this one little bit confused: Ammo Spit = One of his products; he said to use that, not ACTUAL Spit. Furthermore, lots of people on KZbin seem to tell jokes at other people's expense or they will not indicate they're having a laugh when they really only assume others know it already.

[@garageadz]

Thanks for sharing your great techniques and tricks with us all. I have a car that's considered rare here in Australia and while pale in comparison in the scale of things which you get to work with, I have been applying the advice and tricks you are giving out in your videos to my car and I am very proud to have brought it back to a much better condition than it was when I first imported it here.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Have you done the F40 yet? I'm by no means an expert but I should imagine that it would be really hard. At least if it's the original paintjob.

[@Trandana]

I didn't realize how much work there is in detailing. It's nice to see someone take such pride in their work.

[@AJ-ku7nm]

Makes my $5 car wash as a kid look pretty rubbish.

[@prestonp8111]

That Ferrari is awesome, I live in Australia and i have had AMMO products shipped to me here in Australia it is the only product i will use on my vehicles. Thank you Larry for awesome videos they have been a great help for me in maintaining my vehicles.

[@MarkGameVid]

this guy i think his name is Larry looks allot like Linus from Linustechtips

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thx bud!

[@ctskifreaks]

6:10 for start of detailing

[@FlechLives]

I plan to use brillo pads and a wire brush on my La Ferrari

[@TheGeorgeLara]

if it leaves any scratches, make sure to use 20 grit sandpaper! ;)

[@FlechLives]

Will do

[@q-bert6454]

I use that on my pinto

[@drumingmatt]

i hate to say it but as someone who finds even just washing my cars a chore ive just watched this in amazement, if you'd have told me i was going to spend 35 minutes watching a car being polished id have said you were mad. exellent film and i love your enthusiasm and knowledge of all things car polishy :)

[@OGevoke]

Larry, whats the biggest mistake you have made, detailing a car?

[@nathans6807]

He spoke about it in his blog, he had curry the night before and was busting to take a shit so he thought he would fart a bit to relieve the pressure but he sharted and it coated the whole interior and because the owner was coming in ten minutes he basiclly rubbed the shit into the interior and when the owner came he was impressed because he always wanted a dark brown interior.

[@Drummingwizkid]

Nathan S That has got to be the greatest response i've ever read!

[@aquateen77723]

Nathan S LMFAO!

[@saxwastaken]

I never noticed how Pink the Ferrari red color is.

[@marker20]

My cousin owned one. He lent it to me for a weekend when I was 22. I was shocked. Absolutely the best car I've ever driven. I got it to 175mph before I ran out of real estate.

[@LiamDrives]

All you say he talks too much, your probably here because you only saw $1,000,000 in the title.

[@LiamDrives]

THEWEENIEMAN27 What does that have to do with anything I said? I never denied the amazing job he did. Everything says he talks to much, but what I see is someone who loves detailing, and loves teaching the skill.

[@chrisle360bludgeon]

nicely said.

[@Hunter1998ice]

You're

[@AMMO-NYC]

Need to see a picture, but I would imagine it needs to be repainted. It certainly wont help the resell value. Make sure to get a great bodyshop that can blend the door with the q-panels. That might help avoid devaluation.

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

OMG! Why didn't the owner just go to a gas station car wash? He is probably not good at saving money since he has to drive a 30 year old car.

[@oliviercouture4228]

Have your brains rotten like the ones your dad used to have?

[@oliviercouture4228]

Yo I was making a joke related to your username.... Son of a Zombie

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

Olivier Couture it is my my real name. Many people's first name is "Son" in Vietnam. "of" is European. and "a" is an initial. "zombie" is also a standard surname.

[@oliviercouture4228]

... oh Well its a sick name

[@NewYorkBattleCat]

Son of a Zombie youre lying

[@AMMO-NYC]

Not sure how anyone can say how much a rare car is worth... If someone pays 1 million for a car to complete his collection. A car, object, house, or boat is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

[@MrLantz2011]

26:40 "mmm smells good" lol. I started laughing because I know exactly what you mean haha. I haven't detailed any super exotic cars before, but I have been in the industry and worked in a body shop for a while. I just thought it was funny because I have said that before exactly the same way. Question though. I have tried using a number of different microfiber towels and for some reason if you really look close, there always seems to be fibers left behind. What do you use/recommend?

[@bluejeanxxx]

microfibres are the best, I am dead sure you are using low quality microfibres

[@parteibonza]

10 years ago there used to be this quick detailer. I think Meguirs made it...it smelled really good and girls would like the way my car smelled. For some reason, Meguars changed it and it doesnt smell as good anymore. Jerks.

[@jaredpayne7142]

Good man. Gives out all of his tips and still is one of the best detailers and probably has no competition.

[@AngelZLopez]

how much would you charge to wax my hyundai genesis?

[@OfficialIPlayGaming]

visit their website in the description

[@acelakid94]

I thought I saw all the detailing videos there were on KZbin, then I see this guy on Drive and was like, "How did I miss this?!". He obviously knows EXACTLY what he's doing and loves what he does. He's also a very good teacher. There should definitely be a bigger audience for this guy. Keep it up man!

[@alcibiadescleinias6066]

wow! i would be a nervous wreck having to correct paint on that car. i think i'd stare at it for about 6 hrs before starting.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thank you so much. More to come!

[@ricktobin9920]

How do you get the carbon off exhaust tips?

[@12RCARR]

Baking soda might work try rubbing it on it

[@ricktobin9920]

i ended up just rubbing really light steel wool with some detail spray. worked perfect!

[@CarlosAlberto-xx3of]

Try an aluminum polishing compound.

[@wernercollins1319]

this car just looks amazing, as hard as i try i cannot get this level where there is no scratches. Well done larry. You have given me a new appreciation for detailing.

[@jawzmuzik5628]

this generation doesn't understand detail like this.

[@afterburn2600]

I know, right? The Boomers only had chamois and sponge. Nowhere near the detail of the newer generation. ;)

[@srhatfield]

Man, that was some pretty gnarly looking paint on that car... the owner should be very very thankful that it was YOU that detailed it. Fantastic job, and thanks for sharing this with us!

[@nowayjose20]

Still looks really white/pink...

[@AMMO-NYC]

Wow. Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Stay in touch. -L

[@jcdenton4621]

You don't need all these expensive fancy bullshit tools! Just take electric sander and 40 grit sandpaper and sand off paint. Then take Ferrari red spray paint and clearcoat and you are done! Less than 100 bucks and 10 minutes later and you are done!

[@AlexTorres1988]

+Rick W On a Ferrari worth 1.000.000$. Spray paint.

[@honeybunchesx3]

+Rick W really nigga....

[@tristonw.3569]

+Rick W I know right? I swear, some people just don't use common sense any more. I think people just like wasting money.

[@glockfan112]

Yeah maybe on a $300 1992 Toyota Corolla but on a 1 million ferarri? That would be the worst thing someone could do to a vehicle of this caliber.

[@tristonw.3569]

+glockfan112 dude I own a corvette. I was being a smartass.

[@AMMO-NYC]

I respectfully disagree. The materials matter because of how they dissipate heat byproduct when you are polishing/compounding. You are referring to waxing or sealing...which is not what I was talking about in that particular instance. I was giving polisher a heads-up about the flash rates or burn rates. We are talking about two different things...Thx for watching

[@mooons90]

too much talking

[@AMMO-NYC]

You got it! Thx for watching

[@trusevich]

I can't believe I just spend half an hour watching the car being detailed. Thanks for making such a good video!

[@AMMO-NYC]

Heat transfer....meaning how does the heat travel thru the panel effects how quick the clear coat can reach dangerous temps. They are correlated.

[@CraigsChannel]

Think thats one of the longest videos I've watched on KZbin in a while, well worth every minute. Such an amazing job... Thumbs up from me

[@FGMP78]

I started to watch cos of the car; I soon found myself hooked up for the entire video just because of how passionate, and professional this guy is.

[@1QuebecSierra]

Was a privilege watching you work. The car itself is one of the finest ever created, and you more than did it justice. Magnificent job.

[@Realtruck]

Nice work!

[@hector69ize]

Another satisfied and very lucky customer 's pride and wonderful joy. The dreamy 288 GTO. Quite simply AWESOME.

[@gustavom5473]

"Someone had touch this car before me" lol ur like the fbi/cia of car detailing. I must say i enjoyed the whole video eventhough im typing this only half way done thru it. The passion that u have and the way you explain things lets us know how committed you are to your career. Great job is an understatement!

[@broccolihart1]

Hey, just came across your videos and I gotta give you props for your comprehensive teaching style. I've learned so much more about detailing in the time this video played than anyone has ever shown me. Thank you- Chris

[@atomicninja1]

Wonderful to see an artisan of his craft at work. The Ferrari was magnificent....the 288GTO surely ranks as one of the most beautiful sports cars of all time. Thanks very much for the video.....respect.

[@largol33t1]

Wow Ammo, you've turned the art of car polishing/waxing into a science. Someone at a vo-tech school needs to have you do a class or two on car care. You're very good at explaining even the most complicated stuff so your viewers understand what's going on so you'd make a decent teacher.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thx David

[@dreadnok320]

I am a detailer by trade. I work for a BMW dealer . U have shown me some great tips for ultra high end detailing. I am always hungry for knowledge and new ways to treat my customers cars . I would love to have a teacher like u. Thank u for posting tease vids.

[@DiamondBackProject]

I have never seen anybody more dedicated and enthusiastic about his job

[@TheMiza555]

ok, I'm not even interested in detailing, but I know how much work it is to just give your car a thorough wash and light wax..... you sir, are an incredible detailer...nay, an outstanding preserver. you have my respect and admiration.

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

I've always been a decent car cleaner/detailer, but this has really opened my eyes to the science of detailing. Excellent work, and even better explanation. Instant sub.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

I wish every service provider had this level of commitment to their job. Imagine how great it would be if everybody was this happy to do the best job they could!

[@kensimmons3356]

That has to be the most beautiful Ferrari model in the history of the company. Awesome detailing job!

[@AMMO-NYC]

Polish with sonax nano polish

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thx Billy!

[@NotSoFastDriver]

I can see you are very passionate about your job, I'm actually envious on how much enjoyment you find in doing your job.

[@JesusLoveToSkate]

It's so nice to see you are completly crazy about what you are doing and your job. You sir deserved to work on that car. Hats off to you !!!

[@AMMO-NYC]

The cutting pads are not from Optimum. I used Fg400 form menzerna and sonax nano polish. I havent used optimums products. Thx for watching.

[@stuhai]

Man this guy really knows his stuff. I just finished a tech training course in automotive painting and I can honestly say that nothing he said is wrong. I would totally like this guy to mentor me. Haha. Awesome job!

[@AMMO-NYC]

[@bjjbrawler1]

Very intelligent detailer .. I watched the whole thing and was mesmerized. Learned a lot, even as a garage type guy, thx a million!

[@GaIvatr0n]

How could anyone dislike this video!? This is science, art, and obsession all in one space.

[@BTArnold100]

If everyone was as passionate as this guy, so much more would go right with the world. Also read the comments and you know, I think he is right where he wants to be and he is extremely good at it. How many of you are actually doing something you love and are this passionate about it?

[@FelipeMachadoRJ]

Do you know why love your videos? Because you love what you do! You love and know cars. That's why you can take care of them with so much attention to "detail" :-)

[@swac870]

The love he has for his job is incredible and totally transfers into the quality of the work he does. I would count myself lucky to have a job I enjoy half as much someday!

[@FedeGherbaz]

the 40, and the gto are the best cars ferrari has ever made... i'm in love with the f40 since i was a child... they're so fascinating .... miss the old turbos.... great video!!

[@yaboytl]

This is so cool. I love it when people are passionate about their jobs and what a great way to get up close and personal with some amazing motors! I learned a lot!

I love you Larry. Your so precise and easy to understand. I would pay to watch theses, but u made them for free. Thank you very much man

[@HEMi1995]

Amazing. Been watching Larry & this channel for years but this is the first time I’m seeing this vid.
