First Wash in 7 Years Audi Grand Sport GT Disaster Detail I Paid $1,000 SOLD for $3,899!!! in 1 day!

This is an Audi GT that was left outside a workshop for over 7 years along with a BMW 2002. My buddy Levin from liftguysllc.com is cleaning out the shop and it's time to find the Audi & BMW a new home. I end up purchasing both vehicles and bringing them back to the AMMO Studio for a full detail with Kevin Brown (buffdaddy.com) and Jason Rose (Rupes USA). The GT turns out to be a challenging detail but we accomplish our goal of finding a new owner to get the Audi back on the road. Enjoy! - L

[@peterpearce8489]

The “orange peel” at the bottom of the panels on the car is called rock guard. I’m in the collision repair business and when we have to fix or replace a panel we have to apply the rock guard to match the rest of the rock guard from the factory. Usually is just a spray can. It is applied on top of the primer (because primer is designed to fill or build.) then you have to use sealer before you continue with base coat and clear coat to avoid the color of the roach guard material bleeding through.

Your BMW 2002 has round tail lights and chrome bumpers so it was probably made between 1968-1973. The 1974-1976 models had black rubber bumpers and square tail lights. Maybe yours was first titled in '74 (but was probably a '73 model). This car can sell for 10x what you paid for it, but seriously consider keeping it. These cars are super fun to drive and only going up in value. Awesome score!!!

[@jamesslaughter4117]

I was so waiting for this one! I had an '82 Coupe GT in college, and watching you detail this one brought back the countless hours 20 year old me spent detailing mine (Armour All and Maquire's, it was the '90s). At the end of the video, I was also reminded of the countless hours spent at Len Stoler Audi getting service :(. That said, I always thought that the raise spoilers came on later year cars ( mine was flush to the body color trunk lid), but this one had it. Since mine lacked bougie things like the leather, power windows, and multiple cracks on the dash (I only had one), I guess it was a trim level difference instead. I did have the optional leaking trunk though! Shame we could hear it fire up, as that inline sounds great. The car also handled really well,. Thanks for the video!

[@robscholtens5345]

Hey Larry, just wanted to say hi and thank you for all the effort you put into your business and putting these videos together.

[@vincentlaguardiagambini9727]

It's really neat seeing older cars get detailed by detailing channels. The industry probably wasn't as big as it is now back then so those cars didn't get the TLC they deserved back in the day. Now it is a treat for younger people who appreciate classic cars and a good detail (you can only watch so many modern sedans get detailed before you get bored lol!) but also for people who grew up with these cars and get to see them restored back to the condition of their glory days.

One of my previous jobs I cleaned the inside of public transit. For the fabric part of the bus seats we use a jigsaw that had a ball looking attachment (like one of those body massagers) we used that to vibrate the dirt up then vacation it up at the same time. Kind of cool. I hope I explained that enough.

[@bryanjohnson665]

Great video Larry. It might be interesting to go more in depth on the orange peel on the rocker panels of some cars. It's not a painting technique per se, but a coating that is applied before paint. Almost like a lighter version of a spray on bed liner. Back in the day we called it chip guard.

[@D_one]

It is a spraying technique it is having too much pressure and spraying too close so it is a spray technique with paint that isn't properly catalyzed

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

Man, I always loved the look of those Audis. I suspect they cost an arm and a leg to maintain but $3899 seems like a steal to me for one of these

Those 5cyl engines are damn bulletproof, especially in non-turbo form. CIS maintenance is a lost art, and IIRC there are some hard to find or NLA CGT-specific bits that can cause you some heartache. It's like a more complex Golf/Rabbit of the era.

[@christopherjonh9458]

I bought a new one in 1985 and put 238K on in in 8 years using it mostly for a dedicated courier service all over NYS in all weather conditions. VERY low maintenance! Fuel pump and starter motor replaced at just over 210K. Oil changes were a snap. I did all the maintaining after the warranty expired and it was very simple and not expensive at all. Regret selling it. Picked up a 2000 A6 4.2L in 2007...a bear of a car, and still have it with 190K on the clock. V8 always starts up immediately and always eager to go (and drain the bank account with premium fuel fill-ups).

[@jonmallard2176]

The purpose of the "orange peel" on the rockers is because the rockers are sprayed with a heavy rubberized coating befor final paint that acts as a bit of protection against the rock chips and road grime like you have mentioned. It allows the paint to be chipped off without exposing bare metal.

Man, I'm getting a reai Discovery channel vibe from this video, like in the older days when Mythbusters were still rather new. Loving it so much! Seeing the progress and difference your work made on this car is amazing too.

Absolutely fantastic episode it was Larry, but I still wish it was much longer, as I felt sooo engaged in the whole story!!! It is kind of strange to me to see the real life over there around you, it is so much more different here in UK/Europe, can’t really image the real USA, but I hope that one day I can take a look around there! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

i'm getting excited to start on my own after this great vid. Thx Larry, your a great inspiration

[@TheIntensiveCarUnit]

I continually am blown away by you. I have said every car has a story, and you proved it right here. Bravo on fighting to save a relic from the crusher and keep doing what you are doing to protect automotive culture and history.

I always find funny how cars get so clean and they get out to the most muddy,and humid environment ever

That orange peel looking material actually more resembles undercoating or a very soft paintable bedliner. While it does minimize the look of chips it helps to protect against the rocks so they dont chip all the way to bare metal.

That heavy orange peel is chip guard. Paint without binder gets mixed in with it and it's sprayed on. It stays semi soft so it doesn't crack out from stone chips.

[@wingnut5730]

Chip guard is actually a different material sprayed on rockers before paint to help reduce chipping. Paint alone chips easily, but adding chip guard reduces it, but like you said, helps hide it with its texture as well. Kind of dual purpose. Most manufacturers know this and send vehicles out from the factory with it.

Another great video. On 2 terrific base models of incredible generation of iconic German cars. However I'm very excited for the 2002. Since I use to own, work and race. 2002's, Euro twin carb Ti's, and of course 2002Tii's. The round tail lights with the front pointed bumper-ettes indicate this is really a 1973!!! Which has a far better suspension and road feel than the 'water bed' ride of the square tail light lower horsepower 1974!
