First Wash in 22 Years: Mercedes 190SL Detail Transformation Surprising 94 Year Old Vet!

[@TC-ps9sd]

My favorite type of video. Not only does the car look beautiful, but the reaction of the father and son are priceless.

[@KingParzival]

Dude, the way you get people to light up like when they were kids is 100% of the reason I watch this channel. That payoff must be absolutely intoxicating.

[@danielmembrillo6472]

What he said. Amazing reactions....I can only imagine the feeling and nostalgia seeing his baby run again.

[@leandrovallejo6373]

@@danielmembrillo6472 beautiful reaction

[@IdealGrain]

It's the best part of doing detailing work. Dripping with sweat and super gross, covered in polish, after a 7hr detail - a lady wanted to take my picture with her car because it was so clean that she wanted to save that memory and moment and the work that went into it. Was very rewarding.

[@edwardskoda2409]

Is this mostly a donation for all the fabulous cleanup he does on these cars?

What a great restoration. THIS is what it is all about. This is the reason why vehicles need to be restored. Did you see how happy he was?!

[@user-427.commodore]

They cleaned it, not restored it lol 😂

[@EIM2307]

@@user-427.commodore fair enough this job is beyond of just simply "cleaning".

[@lionden5133]

Car is not cheap either

[@just_some_internet_guy]

Almost made me tear up Larry. The pure joy that man exhibited was perfect!

[@CoopCollins]

I'm not crying your crying. lol

[@perryandjazz7851]

Yeah, someone's cutting onions around here or something.....

[@NhanNguyen-zr7sd]

Larry's gotta post a frickin disclaimer for the last couple of tear jerkers

[@raygungarage]

23:37 = the 1st time I've ever teared up watching a detailing video, thanks Larry! You really are a miracle worker

[@ianmedium]

We need more people like Pete´s dad in this world, they remember what real hardship was like so not only value life but also don´t take it too seriously either.

[@SmartMass]

There are endless amounts of people suffering hardships today, we do not need to wish for more of them.

[@zeitgeist2720]

What are you talking about dimwit

[@alstone5559]

Well said.

[@Christoph-sd3zi]

Pete is obnoxious af

[@DarrellColemanShamrock7504]

The detail was absolutely amazing. But seeing the car run and taking him on that joy ride was heart warming. This was beautiful and i am glad you were there to experience his first ride since it's been parked.

[@jaketay6136]

Hey Larry, I just want to say that I’ve watched a lot of your videos and to see your own growth as a business, a detailer and now a MASTER MECHANIC aswell as the love and inspiration you put into the vehicle, the owner, and the backstory behind it is amazing!

[@HardwareLust]

I love watching these Larry. It's so obvious that you really care about the cars themselves, their history and their owners. You're just as excited to see the end result as they are. Love that!

[@AMMO-NYC]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@sshhddoo9892]

watching these datails has become a routine for me at work in the morning, nothing like starting my friday off with some polishing therapy

[@853massey]

This is remarkable, father's reaction brought me to tears. Something truly special.

[@JR-zj6dh]

Larry, your work on and off the camera is without parallel within KZbin detailing as I watch others not staying on point, not editing to near perfection like you and not selling products that are absolutely excellent. Everything t I've ordered from AMMO is fantastic and shows the relentless work and due diligence you've put into your brand. As detailers, pro or hobby, we are all driven by an "OCD" gene so stop and pat yourself on the back, you deserve everything you're working towards. Quick story; My neighbors wife spray painted some chairs right next to her murdered black 2021 Range Rover and you know what happened. After clay and just the right amount of machining it looked brand new. Pad selection and constant compressed air cleaning was the key... which I learned from you.

[@alexiscalderon5343]

Absolutely heart warning seeing the joy in that old man.

[@sabrina6499]

The father’s reaction 😭😭 This is one of the best ones you’ve restored!! ❤

[@lighswarm175]

Man, those last 5 minutes after the reveal I could not stop smiling, what a great time. I love seeing the joy you brought Tony.

[@JJ-zi5qw]

This video truly hit me I used to fix and restore cars with my dad before sadly he passed away but if he was still here today I would've dragged him to my computer to make him watch this video. Absolutely heart-warming video the shine from the car and your friend Pete's father' smile is priceless

[@jimyhemn5292]

I started my detailing business because of you Thank you from the bottom of my heart Love from the middle east ♥️

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

The elderly gentleman's reaction was all you need. Amazing detail and gift to this person.

[@AndyBettencourt]

Nothing better to kick off the weekend than an Ammo NYC drop!

[@UZZY234]

Larry you are one of the kindest most passionate people on the planet, not only in your love for detailing but for the way you care for the people around you. It’s an honour to watch your videos and be inspired by you!

[@joecutro7318]

More than just a great detail video. A heartwarmer for sure. My dad came back from the Battle of the Bulge in WW2 with a love of MB's. We had several W180 ponton sedans of this genre. He passed away in 2020, but his estate still includes a restored 1959 219. I once cleaned it up after several years in the barn and his eyes lit up just like that gentleman's. 😍 The 219, a parts car and a host of spare parts are all for sale (outside Albany NY) if anyone is interested. Thanks for restoring memories and the beauty of these magnificent automobiles. 👍🚘🙏

[@cgreenfield6655]

Larry, please never change your format. You truly are the master car detailing channel on KZbin.

[@luckyloot1311]

Larry, the teacher we all need

[@ErikHeitman]

This channel is why I started my own detailing business! To do videos like this is one of the goals, thank you for all the inspiration, knowledge, and time taken to make these videos Larry!

[@Lpass2020]

These rescue episodes keep getting better and better.

[@nhakam222]

Many people nowadays know how to detail a car and might use expensive materials to do so and might even produce better results. However, this is not all about detailing, this is about the experience, the emotions and the connection between the owners and the cars. Great content and most of all, all the beautiful reactions you can see from people kind of make you wish you want to experience this too. Please keep it up!

[@lightning95sc]

This might be your best revival, yet. Tony's reaction is priceless.

[@tollycrump4317]

Another great video, and priceless reaction from the owner. Thank you for your service Tony and enjoy your car!

[@phantomframe]

THIS. Is now my favorite episode of D+P. Ever. The way he *felt* the car at the end was magical. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@RichDasix]

Damn those ninjas cutting onions, so happy that old chap Tony had the chance to experience his ride once more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Larry for creating content like this.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks for the support!

[@sand0077]

Very cool presentation. Seeing the father light up seeing his Mercedes back on the road was priceless!

[@ScrappersDetailing]

I would say the reason you are the best isn't just because you are a tremendous detailer, but you are telling a story. You do it better than any other detailing channel. I wish I had your gift and ability!

[@andresfeliciano]

I like how each detail has its own lessons buried inside of it, waiting to be brought out through the project. Love the work

[@AaronBowendrummer]

Man that ending makes it all worth it. I love seeing the process and the care you put into everything you do but seeing the end always feels good. Your not getting paid in dollars Larry your getting paid in priceless memories.

[@wagonmaster1974]

My 1967 190D used the same wheels/covers/trim rings. I thought it was cool how MB color keyed the wheels and covers to the car. Great detail job! Pop and son were certainly tickled.

[@GavinJLang]

I think this may be my favorite video on your channel! Absolutely love it! Seeing the happiness of Tony getting to ride in his car was priceless!

[@susanhester331]

So fun to watch Dad’s reaction to his car brought back to life and a joy ride to remember! Family is so special. And I love the car!

Not just about the cars Larry... Its about the stories and about the family sometimes... Well done and keep up the great work! Keep up the health to all!

What a great ending. Love how everyone was so excited to get the car up and running and it looking so clean. Awesome video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@RetroMotiveAdventures]

Absolutely touching seeing the old man see his car again. My grandfather was also in WW2 and Korea and later did work with the OSS I really really wish I would have been able to spend time with him. Cherish the older generation they won't be with us forever and their stories and experiences are absolute lessons to cherish.

[@larryfalcon4003]

OMG after watching this I want to go detail my ride ... what a wholesome video pure joy for the dad ... keep the great videos coming Larry 👍

[@Stuie_02]

The best restoration you have done larry, the look of joy on his face is the best.

[@fruitygranulizer540]

seeing his reaction was so damn heartwarming

Larry, your work is very valuable! At the same time that you make beautiful transformations in the cars, you provide incredible moments to people related to the vehicle, taking care of the affective memories and stimulating happiness. Congratulations and best wishes, greetings from Brazil !!💪

[@AMMO-NYC]

Greetings! Thanks for the support and kind words :)

[@RichAckerman]

Wow. Seeing his smile when he realized his Merc was all done up....reminded me when I was a kid and my Great Grandfather getting his 31 Model A running...Going for a ride with him and riding in the rumble seat to the drive-in for an ice cream cone. The simple things....thanks for sharing and bringing back a great memory.

[@htownandi6263]

Larry, you always get me with these damn little 2 door Mercedes resto vids. And this one even had me crying at the end. Seeing Tony in his Korean war veteran hat (my dad also served in the Korean war) so happy like a kid at Christmas had the tears streaming down my face. Thank you for these great videos.

I did get a little misty. This is why I watch your channel. Sometimes it's the transformations, sometimes it's to relax at the end of the day, and sometimes it's the story that grabs me.

[@nateharris1389]

Like X 1000. Wow. Great episode. The car isn’t the worst we’ve seen Larry Drive and Protect, but the positively, genuine and overwhelmingly appreciative response from Tony is priceless. Larry continues to knock them out of the park. Absolutely the best content available.

I've watched many of his videos but I'm extremely impressed with how thorough he is.
