$700,000 Lamborghini Revuelto Needs Sanding? First Wash, Detail, and Drive

[@TheGodofSEO]

I would be pissed if I spent that kind of money and got a bs finish job.

[@ToddRogers00]

You would! Someone that has 3/4 million dollars to spend on a car probably isnt too peeved!

[@Soulfly85]

@@ToddRogers00 Yeah he just clean it at AMMO, its pennies for 700k lambo owner. And it will be better than any dealer.

[@hugocarvalho6969]

I've been installing ppf for a few years and they all look like this. Ferrari, Lamborghini, all the same horrible finish and polish/compound residues everywhere...

[@James-po2sv]

@@ToddRogers00this is such a bizarre narrative that people are too rich to care. You don’t become wealthy by not caring about the details. I assure you the owner was very unhappy with the factory finish.

[@TheGodofSEO]

@@ToddRogers00 what a peasant mentality. It doesn’t work that way.

[@joemamaisfat]

Absolutely shocking that this is what you get for 700k.

[@A.D.Ryan93]

Nothing to add here, you are right in every way. I mean how hard or difficult can it be for billion dollar companies selling super expensive and exclusive luxury goods to employ some capable and knowledgeable people who inspect every car of this quality leaving the factory and taking care of all those imperfections? We are talking about high performance machines/cars with crazy technical details built out of some exotic materials and then you cut short on the one thing that stand out just as much when you look at the car in person. I just don´t understand why the manufacturer has no interest/motivation in letting the cars leave the assembly lines in absolutely perfect condition, test drives are being made before delivery to sort out all the things that might not be right, rattles, squeaks, errors etc. but they don´t care when comes to the exterior finish...

[@Coconut7403]

In the end he said that the customer didn't want them to do anything to the car. They probably have a team at the dealership that do this.

[@redstang70]

​@@Coconut7403it should nev34 leave the factory like that, that paint is like a 30k option or something

[@Nick210]

Because it would take an insane amount of money AND time to get every car they make to this level when most buyers won’t even notice swirl marks.

[@A.D.Ryan93]

​@@Nick210I get your point and it is indeed a viable argument, but then as other people here already mentioned, you are paying 700k+ for an exclusive toy and the manufacturer is just not interested in a good looking paint finish? That just does not seem to go together in my eyes. And then to add to this point, there are people in the factories already taking care of the paint and correcting to some extent, how much more expensive can it be for Lamborghini to go the extra mile and sort out the other imperfections? But then of course I am also not able to estimate how much more time and money it would cost them additionally if the extra steps would be taken during the manufacturing process

[@Teragonsu]

Larry, that car was night and day different before and after it left your shop. Incredible, when you say the paint looks wet after sanding / polishing you weren't kidding. Hats off to you and your experience dealing with these types of imperfections.

[@dezzyd1]

Lamborghini, Ferrari... take note: If you are going to charge $730,000 for a new vehicle, the least you can do is provide a better paint job than Maaco. Your paint techs need some serious training.

[@realleescoggins]

Agreed.

[@aguruattapiano]

Why should they care? Rich people buy the cars anyway.

[@geoffwatches]

This is the reality of it. They've been making cars with questionable qc for decades, and they're all sold before they're even announced ​@@aguruattapiano

[@turdferguson2839]

The Ferrari was worse but both are unacceptable for anything over 100k. Letting the dealer detail a car is always a gamble and definitely not worth the risk.

[@mayadenton9329]

What a great video! The color really popped after the detail! Amazing work Larry! Love watching these videos!

[@AMMO-NYC]

Appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@kottuning3294]

Another great video from Larry. He truly is the Michelangelo of detailing

[@TheZigYo]

You’re an inspiration to all detailers. Thank you for all the amazing content and educational videos you have produced. Ive learned so much from you over the last 4 years. Thank you❤

[@danielshayder8875]

I wish you had a beginners detail series. I’m really interested in learning how to take better care of my vehicles and a series of videos focusing on detailing techniques would be cool.

[@ionelbanu4451]

I see a Larry detailing video I press "like" before I watch. Another amazing video. Thanks

[@AMMO-NYC]

I appreciate that!

​​@@AMMO-NYCand this is your sistine chapel

[@christopherjakeway7703]

Great video Larry! I worked as a polisher at both McLaren and Morgan in the factories, I completely agree with what you’re saying with the paint dropping and showing all the flatting marks and buffing trails. But the reason for that is that the freshly painted panels will get polished within an hour of the parts coming out of the booth to remove runs, nibs and other defects. The cars are usually assembled and road tested then anything spotted at the end of the line is usually sanded by hand and polished out with a small cordless rotary polisher with hardly and polish on it and some show shine on the lighter colours, then washed or show shined by the dealers after another PDI, only a few areas to improve but not far off

[@andrewbrown4968]

Not huge fan of purple generally but the mixes of purple to pink to blue is absolutely gorgeous.

[@joshlampe3458]

At $700k, the paint should've been more refined than this, but perfection is in the eye of the beholder, their pocketbook, and their conviction in demanding it. Companies are not going to pay for this amount of highly-skilled work unless they have to.

[@erocktheboat]

I worked for JLR for 5 years and we routinely received the special paint vehicles in this paint condition. Each one had to be sent out to have this done to them.

[@mannys3933]

anything over $800k manufacturers should be hiring ammo nyc for pre delivery prep!!!!!

[@1FiftyOverland]

Spending over $100,000 paint should be perfect.

[@BanditJedi]

For the window sticker I’d think a static cling pocket applied with the original Maroney sticker in it.

[@thegringobr2403]

Awesome video!

[@geoffwatches]

Digging the car facts, and the music with your occasional commentary. Nice style video. I think most are a variation on this theme but still.

[@jhrodriguez08]

9 years ago I took delivery of my 981 GT4 , one thing I did was to remove all white paint protection at home (2015) , 9 years later the paint only needs a light polish to get it back to my level of perfection which is not too crazy perfect 😅

[@KirkLazurus]

First one I've seen with the bits under the headlights painted. Looks so much better. IMO the front end looks incomplete.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

am i the only one who shouted through the screen: it's a frikin decepticon!? it looks like a frikin transformer holy moly. this car is absolut perfection, i love everything from the paint to the engine noise. it's a masterpiece but from that kind of money i would like to get a decent paint job, it's not a normal car so i expect an excellent job to the last step of the paint. what a beast indeed

[@kishlayverma6622]

check out the one in matt black.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

@kishlayverma6622 boi I just checked out... it looks like lockdown from age of extinction. It's even better O.O

i think every new car should have beautiful paint. this thing turned out phenomenal

[@MicahRaj]

kinda disappointed there's not center locking wheels.

[@jp24c8]

Phenomenal video, even better work on the Lambo by “L’Ammo”

[@Nick210]

the manufacturer considers how much it would take in terms of money and time to make the paint perfect also the fact that the vast majority of buyers won’t notice these imperfections.

[@shawnsee2688]

My Silverado has that turn signal option also. Half way activation, stays on for about 6 flashes

[@chrishayden8137]

Sadly I’ve seen this too many times with newer cars in my shop. I just finished prepping a 1932 Buick for the New England Concourse d’Elegance and that paint was better 😂

[@shawn3595]

i mean our Mercedes GLC came with less dirt on it just wondering

[@shaneleblanc27]

Ammo should develop its own Paint protection film. After the work this car needed I’d want it kept perfect. Especially for that kind of money.

[@phiwasandebukhosini9414]

What a stunner

[@Nanan00]

Man, if I spent 3/4 of a million dollars on a car and the paint looked like that I would be pissed. The paint on the hood of my $35k Chevy Colorado had some runs in it that were only obvious looking at it under direct sunlight that the dealership was more than happy to send out to a body shop to correct.

[@bigrockyrock]

I find that a lot of (if not all) Asian cars have the 3blinks turn signals, my lancer is like this and if I’m at a light I can “lock it in place” and the signal will go on until the turn is completed

[@integrafreak1]

Larry just clay,polish it, and cover with PPF 😂. The thickness of the film will hide all these defects. When you have to remove the PPF years later then correct since there will be some scraping for the glue.

[@artlayton1425]

I would have insisted before purchase that the dealer fix all the paint defects.

[@Mitsbuchanan]

And risk them making it worse? These cars need ppf anyways so color correction if part of the deal.

[@bigd9848]

I can’t believe spending $700,000 and the paint is in this shape 🤷🏼‍♂️Thank god for you to correct and make it shine 💎

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

I'm fixing my van now for it and I can do it all year long. Just got a 165 gallon tank. And the one I have 65 gallon for chemicals. ❤❤❤ And I can go clean em everywhere up and down the east coast

[@raph151515]

you should consult for the big luxury brand finishing team

[@jhconjr]

Interesting that the car would come from the factory like that. Kind of like 1980's Italian paint and body work, not one owned by Volkswagen Group.

[@coreybell6398]

Great job correcting the paint! Both remind me of second rate used car lot “shine em up to sell” paint treatments. I know my 2022 new ford escape paint was near perfect for 33 thousand. I believe if everyone refuses delivery of this crap, better work would get done at factories

[@oli7711]

No matter how much money I spend, it is MY money and I expect a perfect car for it. The fact that you even have to ask yourself this question is an outrage. A Lambo for 750k and this is what I get for it? This is absolutely unacceptable 😡 BUT, Absolutely Great Job! 👍

[@nyernga]

I might have tried one of your very small brushes or a q-tip dipped in one of the many rust removal products on the emblem. Other than that.....an awesome detailing video.....as always. edit: The blinker issue is called a "Lane Change" feature. Same as my Vette. Press and release the stalk and it blinks 5 times, press it past the detent and it stays on until the wheel returns to straight.

[@andrewschilling188]

It's ridiculous that much work needs to be done on a brand new car...especially for a 3/4 million dollar car...

[@raynabozny2338]

Larry The real question is what could someone expect to pay to have a professional like you detail and PPF an exotic like the Lambo or Ferrari ?

[@anangelshero0410]

Easily worth whatever you charged for the correction, but certainly shouldn't have left the factory like that. I recall Larry had his Porsche custom painted and that should be the standard on these supercars.

[@FreestylerAlbert]

Smallest problem for them. Imagine the a ferrari 599 was delivered with a cracked front bumper. And they told they will not change it, when you don't want it we will sell to another person.

[@darrenmcbride4952]

This is what I don’t understand. The new c8 ZR1 is just as quick 0-60 and has a higher top speed. Just as much horsepower and cost about 500,000 less. They don’t have to be paint corrected when they reach the dealership either.

[@cory_irl9842]

Ray Charles must of gotten hired in Lamborghinis QA department.

[@refsvik]

Colgate for sticking dealer stickers to the window to make it easier to remove? Its what we use to stick paper snow-flakes to our house window before christmas.

[@jkxelor1295]

If this is the quality of their paint, what’s the quality of everything else?

[@GarrisonMorgan936]

I’m curious what a delivery treatment like this costs at Ammo NYC

[@NoFix]

General rule of thumb with cars: The more u spent, the more royally u get f*cked over. 😂

[@ethanswart1168]

In my opinion is that ,that kind of quality of work is unacceptable. If it was my car, after I had dreamt of owning a dream car like this, I would be absolutely out of my mind mad. I would send your invoice to Lamborghini/Ferrari or who ever to pay for the expense of you fixing their mistakes. Yes we are all human and make mistakes, but that is mistakes from multiple different people. I would expect very good paint from any new vehicle anyone buys. I think most rich/very rich people are too scared to step on Ferrari’s or Lamborghini’s toes just in case they wont be able to purchase the new unobtainable model that is coming out. Thanks Larry for not being scared to show us what you fix on a daily basis.

[@155-x6r]

What have we learned about these videos. Don't let the dealer touch your new car. Bring it straight to a trusted detailer near you and pay him to make the car as perfect as he can. BTW what a stunning colour. For $800K you expect a much better end result.

[@sseltrek1a2b]

they should hire Larry to come out and train the paint guys on how to properly finish a car for shipment...

[@jcosta79]

What recourse do owners have when this happens? Can they reject the car? Can they force the factory to pay for the paint correction? I'm sure the cost of this process is in the thousands of dollars. Does the owner just have to "eat it"?

[@enelli17]

Gonna buy one of these and just ship it directly to Ammo to make it better before I even take delivery of it myself. Lol

[@number1pappy]

I know im just repeating the main concensus, but i would be seriously irate if i found these issues on a simple 30 thousand dollar grocery getter! To have them on a 700 thousand dollar car is just insane!

[@just_some_internet_guy]

As per Larry, I would expect perfect paint from any Rolls Royce vehicle!

[@CostaRican_Tattoed_Guy]

Are the old buffing pads recyclable? Using a new one for each car seems a lot a garbage .😅

[@IlIIIIIIlI2h2h]

Did they use some special glue for window stickers? Cause usually I just heat up the glue and it became very easy to pull off & clean the surface

[@psychewardk1d]

I would say, it depends on how much you take pride and value your property, regardless of cost.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Good point

[@davidziska4482]

Have any dealers or manufacturers offered to hire you as a consultant?

[@muhdhafiidz1206]

Try use ppf as stiker

[@blakslee720]

They could just laminate the window sticker and place it on the dash, job done

[@shenava]

I think all new cars should be delivered to the customer with near perfect paint regardless of price, but when you are talking about a luxury vehicle and paying brand premiums, then the price reflects going the extra to deliver a flawless finish.

[@Zoltec-q1g]

Is Blinker tapping not standard on all modern cars? My 2011 Peugeot 308 has it so I thought that was just completely normal.

[@quadrapayunir]

You spend any amount on something brand new, don’t you deserve the best they can deliver. While nothing is perfect(except Larry) if I found scratches and swirls and compound I’d be choked

[@cvnis957]

I bet 3M has an adhesive for those window stickers that wouldn't do what they all do.

[@pipolebnene]

Imagine how much the customer had to pay larry now for this job on top of the purchase price!

[@LerrySanders]

The paint that came on my Toyota from the factory was better then that. Insane that Ferrari and Lamborghini both sending out this level of work out the door.

[@DMBVR4]

You won't find perfect under 7 figures, but i can tell you that I work at Rivian and our paint on $80k trucks have WAY higher standards than this before they leave the factory lol YIKES

[@Ed209sect32]

Wouldn't Goo Gone or similar adhesive remover be better and safe on glass to remove the most amount of residue so that halo doesn't show up as the car interior off gases?

[@greatplanesman]

I mean, you're buying something that's essentially the pinnacle of what a car is supposed to be and this is how it comes out of the factory? I'd be livid after spending this much for this unfinished product.

[@andrewdudley3905]

Larry how do cars this expensive come with defects like this????

[@AMMO-NYC]

Lots of factors discussed in the vid. Transport, paint curing, how it’s finished. Needs improving but glad this customer wanted it fixed the right way.

[@fredsmith1970]

Looks like the original paint was applied using a rattle spray can!!

[@John-y3u1w]

In my opinion when the cost is 100k or more the car should be perfect. Unfortunately no car ever is from the manufacturer

[@Riverguide33]

What is the relative value of Larry’s paint-correction on such an expensive car? $50k? $100k? 🤩👍

[@maximusheronimus23980]

What the Hill ! a 700 K car and a very expensive paint, and probably some Monday morning, dude or dudette, and QC leaving it in this state... Yikes !

[@kevinplay3724]

it really shouldn't matter the amount. However you should expect close to 100% perfection when you're buying a 800k car. There should be additional care and detail when buying those cars. However, it shows that the toyota you buy for 30k and the lambo you buy for 800k goes through the same manufacturing process and the end manufacturers dont care that much.

More sad part is. Certain paint colors actually cost extra to the customer smh

[@cvnis957]

If clients start rejecting delivery due to poor quality work, the manufactures will be forced to do the right thing. Unfortunately this requires a certain skill set to disconnect from the emotional aspect of car buying along with understanding what to look for and how to see it.
