Trick for Removing Oxidized Paint on a Porsche 993

This is an old video I decided to post despite a microphone malfunction. I compare the thin disc foam cutting pad and the MF cutting pad during a "high residue" paint correction. The foam will save you considerable amount of time in these unique situations. -L

Larry, you are incredible in your work and the level of detail you provide. Love the videos, even the old ones!

[@2Lenny]

I like how your 'salvaged' videos are better than 99% of the content online. Thank you sir 👍

[@SilveryFoxster]

The shine from the red at the end of the process is just outstanding, it's a credit to your craftsmanship, you're a master of your art.

[@Dgannt]

You Sir are fantastic in your profession. You bring back life in cars that one would think is impossible to do. And not only that but it looks as it just came out of factory. Thanks for these uplifting videos.

[@otvosLaszloGabriel]

Larry you are doing some crazy detailing work.. and the best is that you are sharing your tips/trick wit us :) Thanks!

[@ModleskyAutoDetailing]

This one video has made my life so much easier when it comes to working on vehicles with oxidized paint. Thank you for sharing this information because these red Meguiars pads make a huge difference. I just completed a 1985 Mercedes 380SL with single stage red paint and it came out great using these pads. Again, thank you Larry for doing these great videos. It's like taking a master class in detailing.

[@txturbo930]

brought it back to life. Nice work! thanks for the tip. I have a 930 I'm about to tackle that's been sitting in the sun far too long.

[@just82much72]

Wow! Turned out GREAT!!!!! I cannot believe you were able to get that looking so good. Great job.

[@georgiaguardian4696]

The result is AMAZING! You are the no.1 authority in car detailing!

[@MaxArg1988]

this is the first time in my life a video on youtube blows my mind.. incredible.. speechless

[@flunkie91]

Yeah Larry is a beast

[@lionelmessifan6329]

Aguante messi.

[@diazconias]

If that is really the case; you are using youtube wrong.

[@matttodd9611]

Larry Awesome video!! Amazing work as always!! Really curious about that pad now!! looking forward to the Carmel trip!!

[@carpetcleaningprofessor]

your workmanship is incredible and your humble attitude is awesome

[@ericjones3920]

Awesome video. I love your work. I'm a Detailer myself and i'm continuing to add extra skills to my craft just watching your videos. Thank you so much.

[@a.k1311]

Finally a video!!

[@kentaylor5842]

Been subscribed for awhile and you always blow my mind with how amazing of work you do.

Thanks for watching and supporting AMMO

[@cus-specdetailing4466]

I love when black paint is at it's maximum shine but red though ufff! When red is done right.... 👌🏼

[@MrTheHillfolk]

My red 91 Jetta coupe looked like this after sitting 6 years. I was and still am too afraid to color sand as I don't know how thick the paint still is, so I just did traditional handwork and it looks good. I can still see a haze in it when I look really close. The unknown paint depth is deterring me from screwing something up I figure. and I gotta point out the imperfections to notice them. if I was to do anything about it I'm within driving distance of nyc, lol if he would even wanna touch my rag with all the high dollar stuff he plays with all day😂.. it's got the value in memories, not dollars. I remember the day my dad bought it new.

[@cus-specdetailing4466]

+MrTheHillfolk you should buy a paint depth gauge to just see whats left and then maybe you could have a play around 👍🏼

[@MrTheHillfolk]

+CUS-SPEC haha good idea, then I can stop griping!😂 Is it actually better to have an old car that's been rarely waxed? My thought is there would be more paint , but then again there's a bunch of "chalk" that you have to work thru to get to the good stuff.

[@Mad-i134]

Any recommendations ?

[@jue_boy4135]

Holy crap the whole time you showed that finished product my mouth was open with amazement.

[@AWD_T]

Wow amazing, Larry! I'd like to see this car when it's done.

[@SmeekPeek]

Your not only detailing cars, you make it to an art man. All respect! I'd LOVE for you to work on my car.

[@t-diddy3189]

Damn man I really wish I could take my car to this guy

[@danielalvarez959]

good job man never disappointed with your videos

[@bsnofire]

You sir, do AMAZING things with paint. I just thought I'd let you know.

[@kendallhonore246]

Larry thank u your videos are very helpful

[@arielr3200]

Good stuff Larry, glad you posted it.

[@SundaysChild1966]

Larry, are you SURE you didn't have that car repainted when we weren't looking? ;-) WOW! You have found what you were meant to do in life.

[@AMMO-NYC]

:)

[@ALittleOG]

I like Ammo but once you use the right compound and pad (I'm talking autozone equip) you will realize, the detail business is way over thought.. but the fact is , you try on a small section until you find what works..

[@Ebugster]

The one and only, famous 993 !!!! what a machine, love it! Great job!

[@CardsharkMr]

Wow Larry, that looks sick, You are so talented. You really make some nice videos.

[@andresousa5039]

Fantastic video! Thank you for posting this!! I have a similar project but a 1986 6 Series single stage paint RED!

[@impc2505]

perfect timing. i have to detail a chalked up white Tacoma and will be needing these pads to get the job done.

[@lmadden6236]

You do amazing work!

[@TheMikeschrum]

Would love to do this for a living. Detailing has always been a passion.

[@cobra454tim]

Nice video as always Larry !

[@erniearambula3525]

All I can say is WOW! I'm definitely going to purchase this pad for as you say your detailers tool box, thanks for the info, 2👍👍 thumbs up

[@JimBales]

So gratifying. So glad I found you. Just subscribed. :)

[@mobiledevto]

Larry is a miracle worker.

[@jimfree0]

Dripping-wet-looking Guard's Red is an elemental force.

[@sitivenimanu9110]

"that's like a very unscientific way of doing this and I don't know why I've done that for years" lmfao he cracks me up with some of his comments.

[@UGAgeorgiaDAWG]

Unbelievable work Larry!

[@Shadow2084]

AWESOME job!!

[@shaunconnolly2534]

Wow! Unbelievable, your are a one of the best guys at doing this. Truly speechless

[@jerrickgranville7872]

Hay can you bug ma a car

[@ian300whp]

This video is perfect, I’m going to try those red pads on a badly faded red mustang that has been sitting in a garage untouched for 17 years!

[@byrong474]

Wow. Amazing work.

[@ItsRyan.]

Awesome job Larry! Would love to see more videos using the iBrid Nano, I'm thinking about buying one just not fully decided yet

[@donovanswax6965]

Good job master, you'r still the best :)

[@madzia007youtub]

Love that guy. learned so much 😍

[@NicholasG28]

This video couldn't have had better timing! Just got a '72 beetle and the paint needs some love. Thanks Larry! Edit: Just watched the ending and that came out absolutely incredible. Quick question though, did you still use M105 or did you step down to the M100 since the paint was so trashed?

[@AMMO-NYC]

105 it's got more lube

[@lionelmessifan6329]

+AMMO NYC where can I get 105? does autozone carry it? For now I'm using megs ultimate compound

[@NicholasG28]

Lionel Messi Fan In my area I haven't seen it on a shelf except for autozone. However your best best at getting your hands on it would probably be by ordering it online. I know Kevin Brown has it on his site at buffdaddy.com

[@adamblaknovski279]

Thank you! I have a Dakar Yellow E36 M3 that is very oxidised, this will help alot.

[@mikec1096]

nice finish!

[@williameshea]

Amazing results.

[@freehold01]

Larry what a fantastic job

[@danlc95]

That's why I normally use the green hex logic/buff and shine for cutting. They're marketed as a light cutting/heavy polishing pad, and it almost never fails me. I actually struck through some paint with the green pad, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, and a Porter Cable 7424xp of all things. That blue Rupes foam pad is killer too.

[@shredct3118]

You sir,are an artist.

[@shakealeg88]

Could you do an update on this car when it is finished? I would love to see that.

[@SyedFaizanMahmood]

Subscribed. Great Work bro

[@rock-oz7eg]

What a coincidence, I just worked on a friends oxidized '85 Citroen. It was really bad but it came out way better than I expected. He couldn't believe the difference

[@andrewasp6043]

Love your vids ,, just feel good vids !

[@latinwarrior6182]

Awesome job man! wow...

[@lukepugh6334]

This helped a ton.

[@Minkyu85]

Amazing Video!! Larry, Can I ask you one small question? How do you remove compound residue in the stone chip? After I finish compounding, it looks really bad...

[@ghostduckinvestigations9798]

LOOKS GREAT! WOW!

[@BIMMERZEITT]

The after looks incredible!

[@tostoday]

How do you remember all this stuff? Looks amazing.

[@jw4620]

Great video! Thanks!

[@Los_Built]

Ammo nyc idea for next video try out rupes wool pad works like a microfiber but less haze and done in less time! Love your vids great work👍

[@TheTexasCoder]

Great video, that detail made a huge difference! With the clear coat oxidizing, wouldn't it be better to re-spray the clear coat, or is the owner committed to performing this level of detail every 6-12 months? What are the owner's long term plans, eventually the clear coat is going to burn through with this frequent level of detailing. :(

[@Tat2Dragons]

That car doesn't have clear coat, it has single stage paint.

[@mrmm7322]

Amazing quality work 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BK_711_]

Impressive work Larry! I'm still on the hunt for a 964 C2 manual coupe still and this gives me hope for oxidized paint. I didn't think you could bring back the luster of a single stage paint like that. Could you also list the products you used for compound/polishing this car or whatever you would use today since this video is a bit old.

[@zakksat]

you are the best in this industry

[@TheMXMMK]

OMG!!!! Thats amazing!!! Will that finish last!

[@privategun]

nice result mate 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@southtrunk]

the single stage paint buffs out so nice you wonder if it might be a better paint system than the color/clearcoat method. thinking long term on well cared for cars.

[@Jeremy5431]

Question for you. I read about a technique using Megs #7 to put the oils back into the paint, then polishing. Would that have worked in this case?

[@ro63rto]

What a transformation!!! Just like below, my brothers 1970 beetle needs doing. No clearcoat so what can I use after to protect the newly restored paint from oxidising again?

[@bondy284]

Wow what a finish🚗

[@DavidMunera98]

man I don't believe in magic, but this is magic for sure. looks really amazing. good job.

[@golferctube]

Wow,amazing!

[@ACoustaDC]

You are the Picasso of polishing!

[@Joesean111]

My 240z has oxidized paint and I want to do this to her (will eventually do body work and repaint) but there are some surface rust bubbles almost coming through the paint, should I just avoid touching that area at all? Thanks

[@edwind8440]

amazing!

[@rhkips]

Looks like you were a bit too aggressive with compounding the front bumper; it disappeared entirely! ;D I can't believe you were able to save that Porsche's paint, let alone restore it to the level you did. That's amazing!

[@aaronprudhomme8688]

I love your videos. I learn a lot. Keep up the great work.👍😊What compound and polish did you use to accomplish the task??? You actually raised the dead there. Lol

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks. In this case, it was M105 and M205 from Meguiar's.

[@sonyacisneros7015]

AMMO NYC But what is the name of that red pad and where can I purchase one??? I’ve watched ur video 2 times, try’n to catch the name of it but... I was under the impression that u were promoting this product but then I started thinking that since I was having as hard of a time as I was/am catching the name of that pad, that maybe u aren’t giving the name for a reason. I don’t know but I’d like to!!!

[@raudelhernandez4320]

honest video, like it a lot!

[@xaufojjj]

good job!

[@shahsmerdis]

Hey Larry, What I noticed: I think on these older cars it might be better to start med cut, light pressure take out lots of water, take out all the lose material clay doesnt get out, (The material that makes your pads black) Then go in heavy in paint correction, so less chance of grinding in that embedded dirt that isn't clear coat. figured this out when clay wouldn't take out embedded contaminates on our 04 4runner which was probably washed once a or twice a year. I used a green MF (light cutting) from chemical guys, not meguiars I know, but it had a lot of pores in it. added actually a lot of water, it sprayed everywhere but it gave it the extra lube I was going for. Not too much pressure, but my pad was black every 2x2 area. I used a heavy clay bar and still, only thing that got it out was compound and a lot of water. Took all the little black specs out. 4runners are huge, so i was taking it door by door when i have the time, which model pads are those, I am going to give it a shot maybe it would be faster than my chemical guys light pad. Did you have to follow up with polish afterwards?

[@sashas8168]

that's bloody unbelievable!

[@rush4ever1]

How many hours did this take you?? Nice job man! You use just that meguiars red cutting disk? or did you wet sand first?

[@AMMO-NYC]

8 hours

[@mintcustoms3086]

Hey Larry you should have over a million followers , your content and knowledge is insane. Quick question, can a turtle wax ice(quick detail wax) be used as a sealant after polish?

[@funonutube100]

Larry if you could recommend one good machine all purpose for detailing what would that be . Can't afford to buy multiple machines like you. Thanks very much!!

[@joemarks3719]

I'm 99% sure Larry would say the Griots Garage 6". You can use backing plates as small as 3.5" with it for 4" pads, up to a 6.5" pad with the 6" plate, and a few more sizes in between. It's a good machine, while not possessing the cutting ability of the Rupes 21, due to its 8mm throw, it will get the job done, just takes longer.Inexpensive, and has a lifetime warranty.

[@funonutube100]

ThanksJoe I was thinking Griots Garage as well.

[@curtisimo032]

I have that same keyboard. Best one I've found for a Mac.

[@jonnyboat2]

Now that it looks good, how do you keep it that way?

[@lunasea0118]

Thx Larry! Much Fun :)

[@vdub5818]

You have any experience with a 7424xp with a 3" backing plate? I need a smaller padded machine but cant quite afford/justify the 75e. Can I expect to get decent correction with that machine/backing plate considering the power is focused on a smaller pad?

[@rock-oz7eg]

Of course but get a 5" backing plate and 5.5" pads. Youll save some time

[@Fred-tq9mm]

hi great video, was woundering if this pad would work on a panoramic roof on a 09 passion smart car, tried everything else, thanks fred

[@L477]

I wet sanded my clear coat and now my plastic trim has the residue stuck in it. Any tips on how to clean that up would be great. Thanks for sharing your detailing experience!

[@WarrenRoddy]

What do you recommend applying to keep the paint looking nice for years to come?

[@btb1205e]

I also gave up on Drive once Larry was gone.
