Bentley Continental GTC Disaster Detail Huge Transformation!

[@nicholasstocker8864]

Congrats on opening up in Australia! I’m not Australian, I’m just happy for the growth of AMMO!

[@edgolob9676]

Watched the Bentley video last night with my son, who's in third-grade. This morning he wanted to surprise me by detailing my BMW - with a mop! It's the thought that counts.

[@MayankLongiany]

That is a wholesome father-son moment mate

[@loonytoon8836]

I used to own a GTC for 12 years and 860.000km. Yes, you read that right. It did not look anywhere near as bad as this from the vid. I cannot believe how people mistreat their cars.

[@RetroMotiveAdventures]

WOW 860k's that's amazing. You drove the heck out of it mad respect.

[@loonytoon8836]

@@RetroMotiveAdventures it even didn`t feel worn at the end. Only required regular service. Just a brilliant luxury daily driver with all the pros you get from VW AG and in my case no negative issues.

What year and any vacuum leaks? Plastic vacuum lines should never be used. Plastic dried and ultimately cracks due to thermal cycling. Mine's an '06 Flying Spur, bought with only 38,500 miles a few months ago. I guess I have quite a few miles to catch up with you! Very pleased to hear your story.

[@loonytoon8836]

@@Greg-kp5gd it was an 06 as well. One of the first off the line. I flipped my GT for it. In 07 I added a Flying Spur as family daily, since the second kid was just due. With kid no 3 we decided to come down to earth again and got rid of both, bought two Sharans instead, did some cool upgrades and are happy ever since. Less jealous people at the school parking comes along too.

[@Greg-kp5gd]

@@loonytoon8836 Took an elderly neighbor to a monthly 'girl's luncheon on her 81st Birthday with my wife. Took her in style. Car was great. One of the party really was curious about the car and I drove her around the restaurant. We we on the beach in Myrtle Beach, glorious day. Yeah, a lot of attention from the people there. It was a good deed for a woman discussing relocating nearer to her son in Virginia Beach. Rained pretty good on way home. All in all a good day for her. Wife an I are that kinda of people. Mine appears to run the fan at a very slow speed, car off. We have new batteries but the ventilation module may be messed up to permit the fan to operate at all with engine off. Any knowledge of this would be appreciated.

Pleasure meeting you!

[@retnuh_802]

the most satisfying part of polishing a car in my opinion is the mirrors.. a part people usually skip over but it makes such a BIG difference from beginning to end

[@mayadenton9329]

What an amazing video! Amazing how a Bentley could be neglected like this but with a detail how amazing it looks! What a great job Larry! Keep it up!

[@BoostAuthority]

Hands down best detailing KZbin channel, I've been detailing for years and I still learn from this channel!

[@Goober2289]

Thank you so much for opening in Australia, I've been on the fence about trying your products for a long time with the prohibitive shipping costs of getting things internationally, now it's no problem and I will be trying your stuff. Great video too!

[@alxnaj1]

me too, i had exactly that thought. will be trying out the range for sure!!

[@richardtabor8686]

Really admire the natural kindness in every video. Something to attempt to emulate some day. Ty for the content!

[@photosmithy]

I find your videos so calming. I like cleaning my car and i love cars but I find these so nice to watch and relaxing.

[@PowersPoch]

Wow you made those chrome wheels shine! Great work as always.

[@jcgentry0260]

Larry I have watched almost all your videos, Im not a detailer but its therapeutic, please do more charity details.....also I find the fact you know when to make something perfect and not. Huge fan

[@stephenryan2700]

''Abandoned'' and ''Bentley'' really shouldn't be in the same sentence. Such a shame, but fantastic job as always!

[@Gabeoffduty]

Maintenance costs make this a pretty common thing though

[@stevefirth2013]

You're right! Broken then abandoned Bentley would be more accurate

[@stoneyblack6905]

Awesome to hear that you have opened a shop in Oz, now I can purchase your products and get great results!!! Thanks mate…

[@Chris_0182]

what a coincidence I had the exact same car yesterday but in gray in my shop for a complete paint correction and a glass coating. I love your videos man!

[@AK-ez4pc]

It was great to see you at Stash on Saturday. Awesome to see Ammo finally available in Australia. Congrats on expanding the business..

[@artlayton1425]

Your suggestion about cleaning the steering wheel in worn areas is priceless. Thanks!

[@randyealy310]

I am still learning something new every time! Thank you Larry!

[@mustang10fred]

Everytime i watch your videoes, i feel slightly worse for not detailing my own car often enough haha! Keep up the great content mate

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

man the attention to the little things is always top notch! the paint was really bad (as well as the interiors), and you make it shine again. ps. i spy a mini on the back, will you show the detail on that too? i kinda love the cooper and coutryman

[@Greg-kp5gd]

I also have a Bentley Flying Spur, but compensate by owing a 2019 Mini Cooper S JCW. Also talked my older sister and her husband into a 2019 'regular' Mini. Mini's are gaining a rep for reliability. Got the '19 because it didn't have the computer sceer speedo cluster. Regular analog. Nor the annoying nanny warnings while driving. Lane assist, speed warning, etc.

[@fisher1496]

So excited for Ammo in Australia!! Thanks Larry! Can’t wait

It’s always a pleasure Larry, thank you 👏👏👏👍

[@peteangle6666]

Another great video, Larry. I love the fact that you do such a variety and you have such an arsenal of knowledge and technique with each car you do. For someone of your talent and expertise you seem anything but pretentious. Thank you for the dialogue and the instruction and thank you for the tips and tricks that we can take away from each video. I've stepped up my game quite a bit since I started watching. You're the best, man.

[@j.d.8593]

Continental's are awesome cars and that W12 is such a wonderful engine, the only MASSIVE downside of owning one is that basically every engine related fix is an engine out job and that gets VERY expensive REALLY fast.

[@sprezzatura8755]

The V8 powered cars are the ones to have.

[@oskar6661]

Yep...there's nothing "cheap" about fixing a Bentley in any guise. That's why I'm not entirely sure I think it's a good "raffle" car. There used to be an old adage in the car community "You might be able to buy a Ferrari, but can you afford to drive a Ferrari?" - this was in reference to people buying old cheap Ferraris for $15-30K...but then realize that working on them was going double or triple the money they spent buying them.

[@kevindill9748]

Thanks so much for the advice on cleaning the steering wheel. I always wondered why it never cleaned up.

[@emoney9721]

Love the transformations😁😁

Nice work 👍 The Detailing Oracle strikes again 😅 It's hard to believe that someone abandon a 2007 Bentley 🤔

[@shanejones5885]

Larry you are still the King in my book. Why don't you have someone build a mobile cart for your wheel cleaning stand so you aren't on ground?

[@JacobF369]

Im pretty sure the reason the Bentley is so used is because it was a luxury rental car

[@TheHeardsmen]

You are amazing dude!

[@at7348]

Is there anything more satsfying than seeing 1. Swirls go away after buffing out the polish, 2. Blasting off snow foam, 3. Watching water beeding on ceramic coats?

[@pugi050]

Oh yay your products are coming here to Australia woohoo! As you know we love our cars here. Oh you will sell a lot here. Well done indeed! I'm always looking at ways to get it here.

[@mike9657]

I have used shoe polish to fix steering wheels where they are faded. The one that has a sponge on the end with liquid dye. Then cover it with leather clear sealer. It works great on common colors.

[@aymerickbusboc1139]

As always, really impressed by the results you get. You have a lot of technics, it’s so much educational ! Listening to the part were you told that we can clay the windshield to make it really clean. Do you ? And if yes, how do you wash wipers? Thanks a lot 😊

[@KBP18]

Everyone’s looking at the Bentley and I paused to look at the Mini Cooper back there 😍 I ask that you show us a Mini being washed some time in the near future 😂

[@owenleeming1836]

Wow those seats were bad, Amazing transformation 👍

[@kennycox3186]

Hey Larry, two questions. Do you use tape to mask off rub trip from polish residue? And I notice you put the “Mud” dressing on after you lower the car of the lift. I thought I would be easier while it’s still in the air, any reason for that? Not prying, just trying to understand some of your methods. Hope you answer, thanks.

[@adastraperaspera1716]

Whats the foam canon used? Great Vid, I´m reviving a lovemarked SLK 230, 22 years old, right now and appreaciate the input :)

[@DriveVibeAuto]

I did a 2008 Flying Spur and idk if it was just the one I had but man the paint was so soft that I did my 2 step with Black Hdo pad and 3D 520 and then Red wax pad with water. It was the piano black. Most mentally straining paint I had ever done.

[@DB-iw7jq]

Larry, something that has always bothered me about using soap and brushes on the interior - the steering wheel, HVAC controls, center consoles... doesn't that water and soap make its way into the seems and behind the buttons and just build up a nasty residue of old soap? Wouldn't that become an issue after some time?

[@AMMO-NYC]

Compressed air

[@MattSe7enofficial]

Is there a rule of thumb when powerwashing enginebays? Due to all the connectors, battery and wires in there. Are they capable of handeling water or do I need to avoid or prep stuff?

[@ed10523]

Congratulations Larry in Opening AMMO AU! I would like to know what can animal residue..My Wife hit a deer and there is a white residue on her Paint. Is that something that needs to be buffed out..i was thinking Ammo Plum. Or would that damage the paint? Hope you can help?

[@PatriciaAnketell]

I have been watching you since you started your youtube videos I had my own detail shop in the mid 80s in danvers ma i ask my suppler one day about doing a video on how to properly wash a car and wax he said no body will watch it ,at that time they was no youtube and cable tv was new i was a head my time i still do my car and my wifes i am 78 yeas old now and i still love detail hope to meet you some day

[@tylerflavin463]

"Because you're crazy and watching this..." I feel seen 🤣

[@SteelRaptor17]

I find instead of steel wool, scotch brite pads work better to avoid scratching and can still get up the grime 👍

[@MrKen11589]

At 12:08-12:30 there were scratches in the paint, then they're gone! I have scratches just like that! What did you use to get rid of the scratches? I have used Maguire's wax and it brought the depth of the paint out. But I still have the scratches. I want to know more.

[@maximomooo5162]

Best episode for month, but quite to short. So many spots of the interior didn’t showed. The seats were a hugh for and after

I would like to wash my mom’s car for her birthday. It’s a daily driver 2012 in the high desert of AZ (not Phoenix but lots of sun anyway). Has never been detailed but basic wash. Last year I redid her headlights & she felt so much safer. This year I want the rest to be clean. I’d like to keep the budget to $50 for chemicals but don’t want to skimp either, especially on the protection. I have basic power tools & cloths. I figure I’ll power wash at car wash, then come back home to do real cleaning. Have water so no need for waterless. I’ve been watching Larry for years & learned a lot so I’d like to give him some of my business. I’ll be buying a clay bar, microfiber towels, polishing pad for a drill. What items would you recommend I could get cheap for an annual clean & which to splurge with Larry? Thank you for the advice!

[@glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429]

ill use a clay mit during the wash process to get the bulk , and use the clay bar right before polishing if (usually is) anything was left behind

[@briansymes2936]

Buy that one Larry 😊

[@mikemontgomery7337]

Do you have to worry about the steaming shorting the electronics in the interior?

That car was definitely in a sound cloud rappers music video at one point. That's why

[@19Loggie91]

Do you apply any coating or protection to the underside of vehicles once you have cleaned it?

[@yhtmstr]

You should use bronze wool instead of steel wool. Bronze is a softer metal than steel or chrome.

[@GB-kp6hf]

Could you apply a similar product to what you apply to black exterior plastics to the steering wheel? Bring back the black, albeit temporarily. Im guessing though the texture or film could create a lack of grip on the steering wheel.

[@AMMO-NYC]

No, it’s a slick coating designed for rough black plastic

Is your cleaning method for cleaning an engine bay better, worse or the same as steaming cleaning an engine bay?

When these first came out, Volkswagen was selling their Phaeton - a four door luxury sedan built on the same chassis (same factory, etc.). Basically a budget Bentley. We sold only a handful of the nicer W12 models (an incredible motor), and many of the V8 models which were as little as...$63K or so if my memory is correct. Pretty wild attention to detail in those cars. This was circa 2004 or so. The Phaeton had to be sold by a qualified "specialist" who attended classes on all the selling points, etc. Really cool car...but silly for VW as a brand at the time. Even though they'd launched the Touareg (which topped out around $58K I believe for the 5.0 V10 TDI we had shortly), no one was shopping VW for luxury cars. The Phaeton was probably the buy of the century if you wanted a big luxury cruiser..but again, no one is going to shop VW for that kind of car.

[@blos90]

Hi Larry i am writing from Italy and i am going to buy a '99 land cruiser. It has some scratches here and there and of coure it is a 25 years old paint so i would like to give it a good polish but nothing crazy. I was looking for buying some meguiar's m110, do you think it is good for this kind of job? I am pretty sure you already did a video about covering all of its pros and cons but i can't remember which one.
