Larry is by far the most comprehensive, “detailed” 😏 teacher of the detailing trade. Yes we all know how to “detail cars” but when it’s explained in such depth, we can all understand exactly what are the best methods (AND WHY)! This applies to all things detailing. I’m such a fan. To those who think you can do it better: great! perhaps share your ways and NOT spread negativity. Thank you Larry and AMMO NYC

Errol Dillon I use close up glasses to see the glass in great detail. Also the angle of the razor has to be kept at a very low angle when cleaning. Also being extremely careful is the key. I'm always doing it slow & softly. Haste makes waste. I'll grant you that most people who aren't skilled with their hands might leave the razor in the box. Experience users are the ones to try this.

Errol Dillon no no no! I mean all cars have a layer of plastic film on the outside. Lamination. U use a blade and guarantee you will create very fine scratches. Not worth it.

Stoner Inc. or Invisible Glass is made about 40 minutes from my house, near Quarryville, PA .

I know they were in the process of adding more automation stuff so I'm sure it is cooler than when I visited there. I think it would be a neat video to do a factory tour and maybe Stoner would do that. I'm not to sure how far away you are from Pennsylvania though.

Yeah, black & white (not colour) newspaper is the best! Just change to a new piece of newspaper before it leaves a trail of lint.

Hi Larry, yesterday I cleaned the windows in my house and I used a razor blade to remove some fly "gifts", well these are not Bentley glasses but... it's about glass.

So, do not forget the lubricant when you are using a blade. And this is a must for anything that travels on a surface, blade on glass, clay on paint, steel wool on chrome, etc..

Great tutorial. My windshield and wipers are in very good shape. I used Rain-X and in the night when it rains there is a haze that makes driving difficult. What do you recommend to remove rain-X from the windshield (strong degreaser, glass polish, clay?) and what do you recommend for a light protection and no hase? Is a car quick detailer any good? Thank you.

To hell with Rain-X. I just use regular car wax, it lasts 10x longer.

Excellent video of how to clean glass correctly. Any thoughts on cleaning, removing or repairing the UV off of a touch screen navigation from a Lexus 350c F sport package that was previously abused by cleaners and oils? Screen is spotty and difficult to see with the top down. Thoughts on Novus 1,2,3 kit? Have you done a video on this topic?

Just a great video. Thank you for it. The obvious negative comments, the ones not constructive or respectful, reflect those amateurs who suffer as one here said "cranio-rectal insertion syndrome." Ignore. Regardless of whether you placed items on the hood, introduced several items, I will use your advice as a solid contribution.

Can't believe you have a zipper on your jacket that is getting oh so close to the paint.

I know this video is 3 years old, but in regards to you applying the rain-x with a foam pad and scrubbing it in, would it be beneficial to apply it with a machine and a foam pad, or is that just more work than it's worth? Thanks, and keep up the the great work!

This is a little dated now, but I see the principles carries through to now. I have a F-150 that I toil on often to maintain the deep luster of the ruby red paint. It is parked in my drive because my garage is for everything else of course. And here in Texas the sun is merciless and it’s humid this close to the sea. When I’m done detailing it my arm and back hurts. I give it all the oomph I have. It is not as good as him, but I find the glass a challenge. Love that Rain-x. With the new ceramic paint covers now instead of wax, it seems that the ceramic is all that is used. I’ve tried at least a half dozen brands who all claim theirs is the best and gradually I have come to not believe them. Yesterday I got frustrated and after polishing the hood I had a sudden urge, so I used a good wax. It looks awesome.

what would you recommend for a 25 year old windshield with some deep scratches? I want to avoid replacing it for as long as possible. Love your videos!
