I actually enjoy your daily driver details more than the fancier cars, or even garage finds. As a detailer of 30 years, watching your DD details is soothing 😄

[@RayHikes]

Especially since that's what most of us work with on a daily basis. Detailing barn finds is great when you get to do it, but peoples dailies get detailed too and there's way more dailies than barn finds.

[@behindtheseeyesiseewhatyou8953]

I doubt you will read this Larry.. but your videos are helping me through a very hard time. I appreciate the entire operation. From the videos, production, knowledge, techniques, editing…. Man, it’s top tier. I’m 45 and I’ve been diagnosed with severe bone degeneration in both hips. For almost a decade I was told it was my lower spine. Finally, I was able to get into a wonder doctor who was able to point me to the right specialist. Naturally, I’m freighted and I’m severe pain. I’m unable to bend at the waist my knees. I’m a walking Tin man with no oil! I’ve taken the pre surgery time to learn a lot of things. Detailing has always been a fascination of mine. I have a 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth C that I adore. It’s a fun toy and has been parked for two years. I have quite a few carbon body panels that need some TLC! I’ve learned so much and better that I have killed so many restless and aimless hours while taking it easy. I hope to be one a local customer soon. The brand is effective and proven. What other company’s can’t really do well. I can’t wait to be able to tie my own shoes and the start my complete rehab of my Abarth. It’s been hard, a struggle because I’m very driven.

[@Later_Nerd]

Ya know the thing I really appreciate about these videos is not just that this guy is obviously an expert at what he does. But that he just seems like a genuinely nice dude. Not once does he ever come across as elitist or condescending in any way. It makes these videos really approachable and easy to watch. Although detailing your own car can be a real pain. Probably have a sore back and arms if you really spend a full day doing it really thoroughly. You do get an immense sense of satisfaction of making an old car shine. Highly recommend anyone putting in the effort to really detail their car, to take a bunch of before and after pictures. They're really fun and satisfying to look at.

[@tbirdboy]

Hey Larry, we need more of this type of "detail and flip" stuff. Good job! Always had a admiration for the RL being a near luxury car with sporty pretensions. You earned the money here for sure.

[@JH-di3nu]

Traded in my Toyota Corolla and got more than I paid for it 3 years ago. While I got less than I would have if I sold it private party, it was super hassle free. I detailed my car before I brought it in and they said it was one of the cleanest corollas they’ve seen, and it def paid off. Did a good wash, polished with dual action, paint sealer, glaze, wax, tire shine, and thorough interior clean.

[@creekfreak1997]

This is what makes your channel so fantastic, the fact that you can go from Concours-winning details all the way to a daily driver, presenting the attainable products and right steps to take for us driveway-detailers. Awesome work, Larry!

[@thomasbegin1204]

Of course the dealer will almost always offer to buy a used car for cheaper than a private car buyer. The dealer buys it cheaper to be able to sell it for more a few days later. While the detailing of the car added a few hundred bucks to the perceived value, it's mostly the fact that it was sold on Craigslist that profit was made. Edit: Forgot to mention that the before and after is impressive, great job!

[@-paulmp]

My thoughts exactly, a dealer is always going to go as low as possible compared to private selling.

[@sabu1297]

agreed, the before and after was still pretty amazing though! i would say it added at least 1k to the value.

[@bugsbunny2357]

But, the deal he had with the owner was set up. So, it had to play out that way (he had to get over $5,000 to get half the profit over $1,500). $2,000 is not bad for a day's work.

When my brother was selling his BMW X5 last year, I offered to do a a pre sale detail & spent a good 2 days working on it - inside & out. Fortunately, the paint was in great condition and only needed clay & a cleanse, but no polishing. Had it looking better than new by the time it was finished. My brother was impressed, as was the person who purchased it, saying it was the best looking one she had seen. Also sold it for $1500 more than he expected.

[@mx5_enigma308]

Used to work at a used car dealer and youd be shocked on the condition of peoples cars when they trade them in. In some cases we would offer scrap value to mechanically sound cars just because they looked like theyd been lived out of. Some so bad we couldnt get local detailers to touch them. Great video!

[@SpanishFly45]

Larry is like the Bob Vila of car detailing. A true legend.

[@blakslee720]

Idk, for me, aftermarket wheels are usually a turn off, unless they're from a real manufacturer. But so often, they're cheap, flashy, heavy nonsense which tells me a lot about the previous owner (as do the brand of tires). If there's a cheap set of wheels on the car, and the seller doesn't have the OEM's, I'm usually walking away. Thankfully, American Racing is a real brand so you're good

[@llpp202]

Making sure a car is mechanically sound has nothing to do with checking the engine, transmission, etc. It has everything to do with where the car is located, the seller, the reason for sale, etc. Tires from Walmart or 2 different brand tires on a car is a major red flag.

[@MistaaFrosty]

honestly most of them switch out oems because of tire selection. for example the gs series from lexus had a 16 inch tires which are really weird to get tires and never have stock. i can imagine this was the same for the acura.

Great vid Larry ! This so reminds me of about 6 years ago. Shopping for a 1st car for my stepson. Found a cheap 09 Kia Rio from a private seller asking $900.00. Swirls, pine needles, tree sap, coffee stains on the interior and about 20 stickers on the windows. I got it for $500, put $300 into tires, wiper blades, a battery, replaced the filters which I don't think were ever changed, and spent a weekend decontaminating and polishing the whole car. I had to go get a signature on the title the following week, and when I pulled up the sellers didnt even recognize the car!

Yes, I thought the same thing. Dealer trade-in versus selling private party is not an apples and apples price comparison. Larry not only did the heavy lifting on the detail but took even more time taking some nice pics, weeded through the bogus offers on CL and then booked all of those viewing appointments. A lot of people don't want to go through that hassle and that's why dealerships can offer less and make a nice profit. IMHO Larry should have received more than 50% of the pop as he did all of the work on a pretty rough car that never was a big seller. Nice flip. I'd like to see more like this.

I still can't believe how you can change the look of the car from a mess to (almost) brand new. OMG. Amazing job well done.

[@realbogus]

Some 25 years ago, I had a black 1994 Honda Prelude VTEC. The paint was looking tired and dull. A friend had started researching paint restoration steps on the web and he shared his new found knowledge... Maguire's Fine Cut, some Kar Kraft stuff and finally, Maguire's carnuba wax. After 8 hrs or so, the car looked new. A friend commented that it added $2k to its value. Amazing.

Super helpful video as always, Larry. Really appreciate you sharing your skill and knowledge with us all.

[@jeremypinder8875]

That was a spectacular video. The understanding of what keeping a car in good shape can do not just running wise but visually is amazing and a lot of people don’t understand that. I just bought my f250 but when I traded in my BLACKED OUT dodge 1500 I did a fine cleaning on it and I got I think 2-3K more than what I was offered 2 weeks before when I was looking around dealerships and it was dirty from lack of time and busy working schedule. Thank you for the informative video sir!

[@richardburns9772]

False, dealerships don’t care about the condition. Most times it’ll just go to an auction anyways. Dealerships was to sell you their car, sell “add ons” and finance you the vehicle. They do NOT want to pay anything for your trade.

[@richardburns9772]

Furthermore the salesman’s job is to LITERALLY devalue your trade.

[@actv8tordc]

Your work on professionally detailing vehicles is always amazing and done right. I'm not a pro detailer and I only go by own experience of washing cars over many years. For general purpose weekend warrior car type detailing I like to use a nanoskin wash mit instead of a clay bar. I don't wash the car with the mit...I wash the car a second time with it. It has a much larger surface area and does a very decent job for what it has been designed to do. It's quick and easy plus I keep the nanoskin surface extremely clean and dry and ready for the the next detail.

[@ronsorrentino7987]

Larry, I have been watching your videos for the past 6 months, and am amazed how you not only you show the before and after, you explain the process, equipment and your awesome products. AMMO NYC is the best on here!! Keep it up!! Oh, and if you ever have a class I'm all in.

Thank you for always keeping us regular guys in mind.

[@Fx40404]

I remember watching a older video Larry made about the stripes technique for carpet when I was a porter for a Lincoln dealership in Long Island I’ll clean up they’re vehicle after service and I did this technique. They saw it when they were picking it up and I got tipped a lot for doing this. Well worth it!

[@hvysshvy7513]

As always Larry this is such great content and I love it. By the way I watched your video on headlight restoration for my 1995 Chevrolet Caprice with the original headlights. I did your process and 5 years later they still look awesome and perfectly clear thanks again for a great video

[@KITT089]

Really want to say thank you for this video. After watching this I cleaned my car inside and out and also danced while polishing (it is a lot of fun you are right) and traded my car in for 4,000 above KBB value because of how clean it was. Thank you for your videos!!!

[@Stuart0202]

After all these years, you're still putting out top tier content! Brilliant video!

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

Nicely done Larry. That Acura RL definitely had a great turnaround and is now in the hands of someone who can enjoy it again.

[@the-regularguy]

not to undermine your work but i think this was my fav episode of all time because its something us normies can learn a lot from and i think a lot of people can learn from this not just how to sell your car but also how to be presentable overall. me and my brother we share one car and we always keep it tidy and tight and the leaves a great impression. one time i didnt get a job but the place i went o interview was super good so i strolled the area came back and the manager there was waiting for a car ride to half way my home i offered to do that and i didnt get the job but after he sat in the car he was blown away by how much clean it was and since then i never go to an interview without having my car or bike cleaned.and you dont know unlike me that guy might call u back for that impression itself

[@zandern9489]

Larry- this is just another wonderful video you have put together in great detail, thank you. Been following for years and have a few of your products. Must say all my neighbors know how religious I am with keeping my 34 year old car looking fresh and clean and I always say thanks, but it’s because of Larry at Ammo. (And I point to the stickers on our cars) Once you offered the sprayer I jumped and grabbed it because it is a life saver. Living in a complex we have no access to water and that sprayer has is a game changer sir! (Reminds me I need to get more of the shampoo, folks, buy this, it’s the best!) Just wanted to say thanks. The abundant knowledge you have provided is amazing sir!

Larry, I really enjoyed this type of video. I love the super cars, classics, and barn find videos but this is welcomed addition to the videos. I felt it gave me practical and realistic approach to what I can try out in the driveway this weekend.
