Always astonished about your production. This genuinely feels like a big budget TV show but it being a KZbin channel it also has that personal feel to it. Brilliant

[@AMMO-NYC]

Really appreciate the kind words! This video was 6 weeks in the making.

[@unmuffledautonews]

Larry driving his cars year round, and taking meticulous care of every component despite how busy he’s been is the reason I still watch every video after more than 10 years

@@AMMO-NYC hello sir. Question.. why detailers like you barely or rarely take the wheels off the car to clean??

IMO it’s what the engineers would have wanted for the car, driven and well looked after

Yeah idk about garage queens, R8s are technically "entry level" super cars, alongside cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo or zo6 'vette.

@@O_Kotek The MT cars have really shot up in value....so in this case yes!

[@pjbuma13]

My favorite thing about Larry is not only his attention to detail but how he seeks out other professionals with the same passion, nerdyness and attention as himself. And on top of that he gets just as into their craft as they do. Pointing out all there clever ingenuity.

[@RESCUEBERTRAMYACHT]

This video hits every one of crazy Larry’s perfectionism and his insane attention to his craft. Respect Larry for taking the extreme to levels beyond the human brain. Best channel on utube and the best channel for learning about true auto detailing craft. Just incredible.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks for watching!

[@bhcamaro2002]

Cleanest R8 in the northeast! 😮Can't say enough good things about what you and the guys did to this car!

[@HenryInKC]

Brave man installing a clear bra onto fresh paint. Shops around here won't install a clear bra until after about 90 days to ensure the paint is finished off-gassing and completely cured.

[@digitalbaka7722]

It is shocking to me that as much care and precision you have in every video, that there is another level above that for your own car. Unbelievable! Beautiful car, beautiful work.

[@abbashaider8668]

If Larry’s car can get rust, then none of us have a chance of preventing it.

Not true. Undercoating with a proper substance absolutely prevents it

[@stevencramsie9172]

I don’t know, I live in San Diego and never have to worry about it lol

The stance of the R8 now with the spacer make the car look so much better. It definitely has the supercar look now.

[@seph95]

I've gotten it figured out. You are the Bob Ross + Mr. Rodgers of the detailing world.

[@STORM3SHADOW]

This is what you call meticulous cranked up to the max! It's different when it's your own personal car, esp your dream car. I know the feeling with my R8. I treat it with the utmost care despite taking it thru its paces in the twisties or on track. Your R8 looks immaculate! 👌🏾

[@Huwonk]

I wish I could be as OCD as you about anything in my life, Larry. I mean that in the best way possible. The attention to detail is seriously incredible. Keep up the great work, and thank you for inspiring those of us who are not as "detail"-oriented.

[@quallzone6219]

Hi Larry. . . Several years ago, you posted 2 videos on *How to Apply Undercoating* to vehicles, featuring your Porsche 964 (27 Nov 2014) and Chevy Impala SS (15 Dec 2015). After gaining 8 more years of detailing experience, would you still recommend a full undercoating for vehicles in northern climates today? Why, or why not?. . . As always, sir, THANK YOU for having the heart of a teacher! I appreciate your willingness to share professional detailing tips to automotive DIY-ers like myself.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Yes, on daily driven vehicles still a viable option for sure with fluid film being relatively inexpensive for a DIY’er.

[@jcsrst]

Stunning! Very satisfying to see you throw some love at this wonderful car!!

[@Adjeialiberimah]

[@Aspireonthego]

Always surprised how hard east coast winters are on cars. This minor resto turned out fantastic though!

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

A tip I learned from Auto Fanatic- soak any removable bolts in evapo-rust (for instance, the ones you removed from the under tray) for that extra touch

[@clintnaik]

Good to see you having sponsors. You need to get paid. Good job on making it happen. Respect.

[@Sazon_Moto]

man i love the old audi r8 it just looks so timeless and its so satisfying to watch getting it detailed

[@AdiusOmega]

It's all in the details. It's awesome to see someone who is truly passionate about detailing and all the other restorative processes. There are a couple detailing/correction shops in my area and it's crazy how lacking they are in quality when it comes to this work. Truly a work of art.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Absolutely incredible how good the car came out. Really shows how important it is to take care of little corrosion spots and defects before it becomes a bigger problem.

[@douglasb.1203]

Removing all the branding stickers instantly upped the eyeball appeal. The AMMO on the calipers kind of gives a Chrysler Sebring /Bentley Continental GT kit vibe.

Amazing work as always Larry, you and your team of experts did a amazing job! Thanks for sharing all the details

Always loved the r8 it is one of the best looking cars, I would have to choose between this and 911 and it would be a sophies choice 😃 so Larry you have a great taste 👌🏼🙂

[@TheExtremaz]

WoW! I really loved this episode! The thing about the metalwool and wirebrushing the underside was really cool, also the menthol coating and black rust spray on the bolts. The framepro on the black trim made it pop so well, and the deep rich carbon now looks amazing. Loved the stance and fittment of the wheels. The car really really pops now! Looks amazing!

Larry's crazy OCD attention to detail is why I keep watching his vids. I'm no perfectionist or professional detailer, but when I detail my car, I go beyond what most people usually do, almost to the same detail as what Larry does.

Just a little tip: if you use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts to the correct torque instead of use the impact wrench it will be easier to loosen the bolt next time. 👌😉 After i started with that I never had an issue with getting the wheels off the car has been driven on salty winter roads. 👍
