This is the kind of OCD that someone with a mega dollar exotic car would want to detail their car. I applaud your eye for details sir.

[@loganweisman1717]

I did this to my firebird lol

[@loganweisman1717]

@Clayton Salvigsen that’s so awesome haha. 👍

[@HAULUUZ]

Not really. It’s something anyone can do and should if you a car guy. Pretty straight forward. Dirty tires are like dirty shoes. They tend to stand out.

[@staylow4091]

I don't have mega dollars, and I clean my car like this inside and out I just want to keep it looking nice and try to prevent unwanted damage.

[@Strike86]

I thought I was crazy for taking my wheels off and cleaning the back sides of the spokes and the barrel, claying them if necessary and then applying wheel sealant to every surface regardless of how visible it is when on the car. Then comes Larry and polishes the wheel with a rotary to get off the hard stuff and shows us his system for cleaning his lug nuts without losing sight of which wheel they were on. Absolutely bonkers. Larry, we love you. Also I bought one of your spoke wheel brushes and it rocks. Legitimately my favourite detailing tool. Would you considering doing a general video on exterior trim pieces? You've spent a lot of time showing us techniques for paint and wheels and mechanical parts (engine bay etc.) but I've never seen you do a full video of how to clean/polish chrome door handles, plastic scuttles, window seals, exhaust tips etc. I love this fine detail stuff and I'm really interested to see how you do it.

[@artagain8977]

I'm shocked that he didn't clay bar the lug nuts...

[@SgtJoeSmith]

Artagain or just buy new since the old may have stretched from being previously torqued.

[@jaypalo]

Joe Smith the joke went way over you head...

[@SgtJoeSmith]

Jay Bosslingo no i know what you meant and that it was a joke. I just figured he take it a step further and get shiny new colored or black lug nuts and use the excuse the threads where stretched from being torqued down on old ones.

[@Mudux]

@Joe It's the studs that stretches, not the nuts.

[@4Kandlez]

I'm shocked he didn't mark which stud each nut came off.

[@coreyberry5283]

I could watch you clean all day. My inner OCD persona breathes a sigh of relief as you work your magic. I usually avoid recommending products to my friends because all car enthusiasts know "that guy" that's always telling you what you use is crap and their stuff is obviously superior. However, I recommend you, you product, and your videos to all my automotive friends. You take the time to educate more than just hawk your wares. To me that's essential in earning trust as to your depth of knowledge and passion to what you do. I choose to believe that those traits do indeed carry over to your products, (yes I've seen the video where you describe how you came to make your own stuff). Your sincerity shows and as a result I feel comfortable recommending your products to others. Please keep up the good work and know that many of us enjoy watching your videos and learning about the cleaning process and more importantly what NOT to do. Namaste my good man, and may fortune continue to smile warmly upon you.

Larry is my favourite KZbinr and Deatailer in the world. He is full of honesty, integrity, skills, kindness and knowledge. With those assets, one can`t go wrong. I love that he is sticking to his values, that are admirable to say one have, but it is a different thing to actually live by them aswell. If I have to give som constructive critisism, I have watched all his videos at lest 2 times, and some of them more than ten times, I would say with lots of love, please upload longer videos and try to include more before and after shots and videos. That would be the iceing on top of the cake, that last "carnauba wax on top" :D I hope that this comment reaches Larry! Best regards Ozzy from Norway

I love this thread

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

I've used clay bars for years and would never wax my vehicles without this important first step. However, I never flatten the bar into a "pancake" as instructed. I always use it as a full "bar" and for good reason. Allow me to explain: When the bar surface becomes soiled, I take a common Potato Peeler and take a few seconds to shave off the soiled layer, exposing a new pristine surface. Using this method, I've had clay bars last for years and there is never a question about the bar being too soiled to use any longer. I never understood the logic in folding microscopic contaminates back into the bar only to resurface sometime later ???

[@FluffyUnicornXR]

NFL YoungBoy that’s actually pretty smart

[@JosephWheeler14]

Hi Larry. I'm currently off my feet due to some Achilles tendon surgery and, consequently, unable to detail my car. Your so well produced videos are helping a great deal with the frustration and depression associated with recovery. I should be able to detail, again, in about a month. Thanks so very, very much.

[@jeffk464]

uhm, I was an automotive mechanic for a while and I can tell you for sure without a shadow of a doubt it doesn't matter if you mix up the lug nuts. sometimes you will have some studs or nuts that have been worn, keeping track doesn't matter you have to replace them.

[@brandonauchterlonie9956]

I can confidently say that Larry is the absolute best detailer in the world. 100% no doubt about it.

[@Doggepp]

For the "carpeted" or felt wheel wells, you can use either the hydriphobic coatings some brands do for interior carpets in cars, but that might be a little pricier. Otherwise, you can just use the same stuff people put on winter shoes, the cheap spray on stuff which makes timberlands and other shoes water resistant. Just cake that onto the felt/carpet in the wheel wells :) Works amazing, and is quite cheap

[@dalton6439]

Good old New England, I love it when you try to wash road salt off your car at home and it just turns to ice.

[@chevyhead7274]

Jason Dalton yup sucks rusts away your cars

[@johnsanders186]

Same here in old England...they grit the roads so much in the winter, ya see cars with really nice wheels but after time the salts penetrated the paintwork causing it to bubble making them look quite bad.

[@LawrenceTimme]

You can use plastidip in the wheel Wells in winter that gets very the best protection

[@kylerchaffin5814]

Larry, I enjoy the videos...premium detailing content. My engine builder turned me on to the ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight for smaller parts, its absolutely amazing. It dawned on me while watching this video how perfect it would be for lug nuts, cleans inside and out...you wont believe how dirty your solution will be after after cleaning these small parts.

AJHedges if you decide to clean your engine, put dielectric on every connection before you wash it. that way it's more protected and in the future don't have to worry about moisture. many people don't talk about that but helps with corrosion and it takes to long to cover up every connection to wash.

have you heard of fluid film? Probably a detailers worst nightmare, since it holds on to dust, but the application is dam simple. And you can just keep coating it or use degreaser to take it off. undercoating can retain water. this method just cuts of o2 from the metal. Great for old rust buck beaters :)

And superior in anyway

[@nicksmith1363]

***** your missing out. Rwd in the snow is a blast. I had a Crossfire a few years ago drove it every winter. It was still rust free when I sold it. You just have to keep the wheels waxed and some type of corrosion protection on anything bare. And good snow tires are a must! Old fashion tar undercoating is a waste and a mess there are allot of other better cleaner options. Just look around youtube and google.

[@hallurs]

Fluidfilm may be great rust repellant but man it does make the under carriage look like shit after application, I've had cases where the company that applied fluidfilm didn't prep the car good enough and I had overspray all the way up to the roof, it sucks cleaning it off paint.

[@urbanedgeautodetailing]

Larry said his favorite part of detailing is vacuuming, my personal favorite is seeing the customers face light up when the see there car/truck. That makes those 30-40 hour jobs worth it

[@TheAlanFish]

Anyone happen to know what the circular plug looking things on the inside of the rims are?

[@bholowczyc]

Some sensors I guess?

[@thomaspynchon2871]

RDK Sensors I suspect.

[@MohdRadhwan]

It is RDK sensors.

[@matthewhoch5574]

Great video. Before i sold my civic i cleaned the underside and found a few spots where the undercoating was rubbed off. Use 3M rubberized undercoating for that spot in the wheel well. Best undercoating I've found.

Your springs shouldn't move like that on the coilovers. Might wanna adjust your preload

[@peakperformance65]

Richard jesus There's no weight on the suspension man

[@AdamH1029]

Suspension is in full droop and they are presumably shorter springs than the factory geometry is designed for.

[@PaSe_Miata]

So? While driving on a bumpy or hilly track your wheels can easily loose contact to the ground. Than you have also no weight on the suspension. For exactly those situations you have the preload. You never ever want your springs dangling around.

[@billstanley1375]

those were installed and set up by speedsport tuning. Porsche guru's. pretty sure he's all set.

[@purplecorn1234]

Bill Stanley right buncha armchair mechanics lol

[@flyingsquirrel9996]

You just gave me an idea that involves a set of quick jacks (which i don’t have yet), my brake calipers, and an old tooth brush. Quick jacks will also make the rest of my obsessive compulsive detailing life a whole lot easier.

[@jamiewhite1515]

this is a great technique if you have a week to waste..

[@ralleyquattro]

I thought I was the only nutcase that would clean the wheels in/out when changing from winter to summer. Awesome!

[@bneyens]

This is nuts for standard winter maintenance. Too much time for infinitesimal small benefits beyond a certain point. This is car show detailing, not winter cleaning. Salt is going to eat all that work away in 2 seconds. In Colorado this would be a total waste of time.

[@purplecorn1234]

Bob Marley maybe on your grocery getter it's too much work

[@DeezNuts-]

Not if ur crazy

[@AmirAbdullah]

Old boss would never let me do this much on a car even tho I wanted to. Only time I could ever clean a vehicle like this was when I ran my own truck. I miss this work. Good video.

[@DSJN311]

7:51 a bug starts crawling up the window trim - You're welcome, enjoy.

[@BryceChristopherHodge]

This is very insightful. And as you admit, a bit cray cray. What I like about extremists, like a bodybuilder in competition prep or in this case with the highest level of car care, is seeing how things are accomplished at the highest level of commitment. As for the rest of us, it's a "choose your level of commitment" decision about how far we are comfortable going down the rabbit hole, but I have a great deal better knowledge of how to proceed if I want. In my case, I will never be a bodybuilder and I will ever take a q-tip to my brake calipers. However, I will be taking better care of my car than I ever have done before thanks to these videos.

[@vincentvalentine9417]

Polishing the inside of a wheel? I think you are crazy!

[@georgepayazitis961]

I agree it's ok to get a tiny bit of dirt on there.

[@dimmacommunication]

George Payazitis Depends, on a daily driver ? yeah. On a collection type or car ,no.

[@moedog5087]

How to clean weels: spend 1k on products

[@EWOverland]

This is the most insane in the positive detailing that I ever seen

[@volcanoacid1]

car cleaning fetish?

[@volcanoacid1]

oh boy

[@Wirenfeldt1990]

volcanoacid Matt Farah said it best when he called Larry "The Best Kind Of Psychopath".. turns out that if you are this obsessive and passionate about a single thing, and dedicated enough you can become one of the best in the business..

[@jackwood683]

Larry, I'm down with your OCD. I used to lay out the lug nuts in the pattern of the studs of each wheel so I could put them back on the same studs!! I love your videos--I learn so much

[@offdatgogo]

Larry, you lever of OCD is off they chart! I've done several of these steps prior to watching this video but I have learned a few things too. Thanks for sharing.

[@pavw5508]

It is soooo good to see that I'm not the only car freak in this world

[@fonzo2525]

damn,this guy means business when it comes to car care,wish i could afford to have him detail my rigs,but i do it myself and i think they come out alright:)
