For everyone worried about the safety of the guys at Proformance. Everyone that works at the shop wears respirators and goggles. They all were excited to be featured in an Ammo video, and wanted their faces shown. Thank you for worrying, but we definitely work safe.

[@hooktrunk]

I was worried as well. Thanks for letting us know. Beautiful job guys!

[@swingmanic]

Yeah!..I was a little concerned!..I know 2 pack paint is nasty stuff, wasn't so sure about powder coat, but either way the dust can't be good for you...Great job!!

[@daej312]

Still scared for you guys, but I must say, your work is excellent.

[@francoalfaro7750]

Where are these brothers located?....

[@on-site4094]

Excellent finish great shop

[@esobeegarage]

Larry, it's truly such a joy to see you "living the dream" by blending your profession with your passion. And look - in the process you've even managed to score your dream car! You truly are an inspiration to both detailers and common folk alike.

[@Farseer1995]

I always get excited when I see a new Ammo NYC video.

[@pjfan173]

Just rewatched this one. So good to see the pride they take in their work.

[@No-Gumf]

Wow. Thank you for the behind the scenes. The work they do is 10 times better than what I have experienced in the UK from the 4 different refurbishers that I have used. The clarity and evenness of finish is astounding. Another great video. Thanks!

[@davidives7997]

Couldn't agree more. Couple months down the line £200/300 later, paint flakes off. Though initially looks good. Very disappointing.

[@andrewshelly6804]

Great video as always larry. You're literally my hero. I thought i was the only one extremely particular about detailing. Thanks

[@Lethalweaponn]

It amazes me the level of professionalism and attention to detail you get when a camera is recording. This applies to any business not just the auto industry.

[@rmp5s]

Man...that strip tank...it's like friggin "dip" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. lol That thing is a hit man's body disposal DREAM!!

[@tysonisham]

Forgot about the “dip” til now lmao

[@Neur0bit]

This is just so therapeutic. I can watch all day long... Thanks for sharing!!

[@paulff3]

Looks like an excellent wheel shop. Love seeing shops that care about their work and the customer's property. So hard to find!!!

[@The_Car_Gods_7814]

Awesome video. Had my wheels done not to long ago with powder coating. It is fascinating to see the processes of how things are done.

[@jonathanstoddard7712]

Your the best content on you tube, Larry. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. It is greatly appreciated.

[@jdisdetermined]

Is this a new camera, Larry? Video quality is insanely good on this one.. so awesome..

[@RAM1990OS]

So satisfying and educational. Watching this answered so many questions I've had.

[@gmans7859]

Perfect timing Larry, Thank You. A few days ago my wife came home from store with watery eyes. She snicked a rim on the Mercedes...Hope I can find this level of quality in my area.

[@klasseact6663]

Looking forward to the next video Larry mentioned but I already have his aerator and Frothe and it worked great on my trip to the Tail of the Dragon a couple weeks ago!

[@208miuwu]

As always another AWESOME VIDEO I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you Larry for taking the time out of your days to help us the people of KZbin LAND.

[@budman123052]

Fascinating!! It's always interesting to see the precision and expertise that goes into the different aspects of engineering and techniques of a product.

[@andrewrout8712]

Finished product looks fantastic

[@michaeljjensen]

These guys are awesome at what they do. They really care about the product they put out.

[@TC-ps9sd]

Great video that gave me an appreciation for the work and cost of doing this. The wheel looks great.

[@garrett793]

Great video! Best one out there to show the process. Thanks for uploading!

[@therealderjett]

The R8 looks killer with the track wheels and tires!

[@TheRealChilly]

I was considering powder coating my oem rims to a high gloss black, but seeing how beautiful they look after just having the paint stripped and the suggestion they offer to get that look is more tempting.

[@williamarden5441]

Yay a new video. Always love when you post brother

[@ThomasPowersYouTube]

Amazing insights and documentation Larry! Keep the info coming!!!

[@wyattoneable]

Great stuff Larry. I appreciate your professional channel.

[@gavinchia5841]

Their work looks fantastic

[@samslichter3566]

I recently curbed 2 of my C3 corvette wheels and it was neat to see what process they’ll go through if I get them fixed.

[@kenbode8806]

Thanks for making another great video Larry!

[@stillalive--]

Wow. That's professionalism! Awesome

[@TheOkinawaBoy]

I’m really impressed of this great job!!

[@stevevlahos5469]

Very informative. Thanks for the post Larry.

[@OrondeRobinson]

What should I look for in a repair shop to ensure I'm getting a quality repair like shown in this video?

[@EpicStays]

Bump

[@blackfish4674]

bump x2

[@justanotherprouddad1391]

You have a great team of guys!

[@Sigrafix]

Thank you so much for this video Larry.. I curbed and bent 2 of my OEM Mustang wheels, I wanted to replace them, turns out they're $1,200 EACH.. LOL.. I found some places that claim to repair wheels and leave them "like new" but I wasn't sure if that was possible to even repair them, after seeing this video I'm much more confident in the process.

[@sijosue]

Sigrafix what style mustang wheels?

[@tomsommer54]

Great video Larry. Now I know where the wheels are going when the shop says they are sending them out. Thank you!

[@dermotoshea4372]

Amazing job and attention to detail!

[@im_olgreg4276]

Love the how-to and behind the scene videos!!!

[@Johnwenn1]

Excellent video. Very well explained . Well Done !!

[@martinharman574]

As always, really interesting & informative.

[@markusbocker2027]

Thanks for the insight. I've really learned a lot in 10 minutes!!!

[@tedd7028]

Those wheels look amazing!

[@alihusayn4689]

This is therapy for me 👌🏾

[@scottbrimmer4127]

Very informative and interesting video Ammo. Thanks 👍

[@KayKashi]

Love this channel! Very professional yet entertaining content!

[@Beenman27]

Glad to see these guys mask the rim mounting face and stud holes before powder-coating. Pros!

[@MrTDial]

Great to your call out on Road Show!

[@calmu6694]

Excellent videos on DIY mate, keep it up

[@garybrown9719]

Excellent video

[@27Ctrojans]

Thanks for the informative post and looking forward to the next video with the r8 at njmp!

[@DenisMaybach]

Love these videos!!!

[@offdatgogo]

I click the like button as soon as the page loads. Why? Because I know whatever Larry posts is going to be extreme, amazing, educational, fun.

[@irvingabbott6]

Dude I love your vlogs

[@bigbee4774]

Feels like” how its made” , btw awesome!

[@j.elizabeth4621]

Hey Larry. Do smells tend to hide in areas people don’t think about, and do you recommend or sell a product for keeping a car smelling decent? Do they reuse the abrasive plastic material?

[@cenz2279]

Mario is the man! and Proformance is a great company. Great video

[@jerrycube6244]

I used Proformance for my Quadrifoglio wheel repair and mounting in general. Mario’s awesome.

[@_jamesbradley__]

Thank you so much for the excellent informative vid. Really interesting. 😎👍

[@mikeatv]

excellent video.... those guys know what there doing big time....

[@aaronanderson3165]

Could you show how he repaired the machine cut rims?

[@KRBY555]

yes! e46 m3 here. It's a super fear curbing my mint OEM 19s

[@KRBY555]

andrew smith yeah is there anything else you can do ?

[@JackoTJK]

​@@KRBY555 only other option would be to build it up and machine it back down

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

he machine cut them.

[@justinadams1002]

Amazingly informative.

[@ahmedp800]

AWESOME! thank you Although I was hoping to see how they fix the severely damaged wheels.

[@hayzee4429]

Awesome as per usual

[@10mmfan]

Great show. Keep it up.

[@danielbyrne5862]

another great video by the master i am going to do some curb rash repair on my alloy rims my self just the outer edge will sand lightly and paint. would like to use a little filler dont no what kind of filler to use any ideas thanks dan

[@KONAMAN100]

Amazing view really interesting... Pros at work.

[@jeremythompson6822]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@rudyardharrison4177]

Very interesting! Two of my GTI's wheels have sustained rim rash and it drives me nuts. But I have a question regarding the wide use of high gloss exterior plastic finishes. My car's sunroof surround was badly scratched, I think by a car wash, is there any repair process for this kind of damage?

[@grizzly9960]

I would have had all 4 done! They do good work

[@vomdeich1011]

They did all 4 for sure...

[@BoliMeKurac]

@@vomdeich1011 no shit Sherlock 😂

[@omg_stoppit]

Lmao dude, why would they only do one? 😂

[@DigitalEkho]

@@BoliMeKurac really...

[@frankmcdevitt2766]

Grizzly ♐️

[@lifeslooker]

Excellent - good tip regarding doing your own wheels and the grade of paper to use and the polish...mine are kerbed and need sorting out. A pandemic will provide the time, just need to decide when to do it. Thanks for your informative info as ever. Be safe.

[@giannisf]

Hello from Athens!excellent,thanks nice job

[@wilsonz9232]

Thanks friend. I got rim rash from hitting a curb at 10 mph. Made a sound like I hit a metal rod because they are steel rims. Impact made the car jolt back and forth. Drives fine.. no veering or noise. I should be fine to go then right? This stress is annoying, I wish I never hit that curb lol

[@Aminul550]

I don’t care if it’s 1am and I’m just about to fall asleep, as soon as I get a notification that Larry has uploaded a new video, I turn on my 55” 4K smart tv, hit KZbin and watch his video in 1080p 60fps. Always great content. Any idea on when you’re going to do a video about pressure washers?

[@axelbart7470]

Awsome place great that you where able to show the process, of the powder coating

[@sgtrosenfield]

Can’t wait for the next vid👍

[@leshelle34]

Just earned a subscriber!

[@ubiased23]

Giving the wheels some love

[@baxter151]

Ammo, I have a weird problem with my paint on my car. There is a cross shaped crack in the paint that measures about 2cm x 1cm. 1 of the 4 ‘flaps’ has come off from washing the car a few months back. My idea is to brake off the other ‘flaps’ leaving a bare area 2x1cm then use touch up paint following the video you did on DRIVE CLEAN. Is this a good idea or is the area too large for touch up? What would you recommend?

[@madmike5144]

Cool video, thanks for sharing with us
