Just a safety heads up, be careful anytime you're spinning the prop on a plane! Aircraft ignition systems use magnetos, so depending on the key/switch position, if the prop were spun on the ground the aircraft could temporarily run, turning that prop area into a pretty dangerous place to be. I'm sure the boys were careful enough to turn off the mags, but always better to be safe than sorry.
yes always assume turning a prop with start the plane another safety issue is running a polisher over a static port on the back of the plane...... those really should be taped off to prevent getting any wax or polish in the port it can cause the instruments in the plane to not work
My first aviation job was washing and “detailing” TB-9’s, and I started watching Larry Kosilla’s videos when I started detailing my own car. Neat to see both come together in one video.
@@colormesarge TBMs are really cool turboprops. Get up in the flight levels and go. On the opposite end of the Socata spectrum was the TB-9 Tampico. It was the base model of the Caribbean series where the TB-20 Trinidad above was the top-of-the-line model. Same construction though, aluminum monocoque for everything rear of the firewall with only the cowling, wingtips, and tailcone being fiberglass. Pretty thick paint, which makes correction easier.
Strangely enough my first job was detailing planes at 14. I got kicked out of school and my dad was an aviation mechanic. I remember finding out about simple green to clean the grease off the belly of the plane because they had to use something non toxic. I learned a lot that year.
Washed Planes to pay for my private pilots cert when I was in a highschool work program - every 4 planes washed was an hour of flight+training. You don’t realize what 360 degrees of paint is until you’ve washed and waxed a plane!! I enjoyed seeing this planes look come back to life
GRANITIZE™ Aviation XE3-G Zero V.O.C. Degreaser Or something like that is what I used for the belly Going to be honest…all the Cessnas I washed - when I dried them there were many that would bleed some of the paint. I only seriously waxed and polished a couple planes, but they were kingairs that had really good paint. My shoulders basically died. Nexgen and 3M had some good products (honesty hour I haven’t clay barred a plane in well over 10 years)
Hey Larry! On historical restoration and preservation I use D2 biological solution, it will not attack the surface, it's been used on the white house, the Alamo etc, so it's safe on any type of masonry, vinyl sidings, wood and many more. It removes everything like lichens, moss,air pollutants, soot. No need to do much, it only need to be applied with water and left to work. Now, I don't know about paint on cars or planes. But I think it would be worth looking into it. If it does the job without stripping any paint away, you would have a real good tool when doing rescue jobs like this!
Nice project. Larry, you might learn that this plane was made in France. It was designed and built by a subsidy of EADS, which now is Airbus Group. The company was named SOCATA and based in Tarbes, in south west France. The same company designed and built the single engine turboprop, pressurized cabin TBM-700. Since then, the company became DAHER and keeps making these great single engine turboprops which have evolved into the TBM 930, 940 etc. These great aircraft are particularly successful with (wealthy) private pilots in the USA and they sell like hotcakes. They are still made in Tarbes, France !
I loved the first part of this video! I know that his friend works at Porsche but having that much retention about all the specifications on the cars is super cool. Listening to him talk about all the specs was awesome.
love Ammo and Larry...its awesome that you detail more then just Cars (Boats, Planes, Doodle Bugs, Buses)....i am waiting for Larry to tackle his first 2 wheeler...
Not even kidding...I grew up just a few miles from that airport. It used to be well known as G. O. Carlson Airport. I was there weekly for Civil Air Patrol meetings as a teen. I know this hanger! I'm hopefully moving back up that way soon.
I did 10 years maintaining a fleet of TB10’s. The paint is shocking on those Tobago’s! This just shows how good Larry is working with such fragile and worn out paint.
Hey Larry, pretty sure that aluminum plane at the end is a T-6 Texan, a super iconic plane that was used as a fighter trainer during WWII. If you ever get the chance to work on one and maybe go for a ride, I’d highly recommend it. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity for many. One question for your plane restoration friends: I wonder what impact, if any, polishing has on the propeller balance. Assuming it would be less than the lichen growing on it, but something to keep in mind as I know prop shops put a decent bit of time into getting those balanced when they go in for refurbishment. Either way great video, love your content!
Absolutely love this video!! I love the transformation!! Always such a joy to watch these videos and puts me in a good mood! Keep up the good work Larry!!!
Funny I just came in from a long day paint correcting a white Citroen Berlingo which look similar to the plane with lichen and yellow stains which looked like the paint had gone down to the primer but turned out to be pollen! Any way I am shattered and asked myself why am I watching Larry after doing this for 6 hours myself, turns out its because Larry is awesome and we both used almost similar techniques to achieve the same result. Made me feel much better about my work when the customer is holding out on payment.
Love it with the airplane side! That silver plane btw, that is a North American T-6 Texan. It was a trainer for many years. The Navy vs was an SNJ and Canada built them too, naming their’s the Harvard
11:22 that black ring / hole is the opening for the static air pressue sensor inlet. Do NOT clot it up. Apart from that, good job - the TB20 is a very capable aircraft worth saving.
In the USAF on the A-10 not a gloss paint job but we used to clean them with magic erasers. Definitely works the arm out but might be a good intermediate step for that lichen.
Hey Larry love to see the aircraft detailing, we tend to restore rather than replace in aviation its great to see and use some of your tips. And have a look at the "Porsche Mooney" there is a way to combine your passion. Keep up the great work....
Looking at Larry’s shirt with all the polish dust on it gave me an interesting thought how it would be cool if that was the shirt had that design on it already!
This seemed like a cool opportunity to teach us as well as practice some new techniques for yourself! I really enjoyed your process of figuring out the best way to deal with the lichen.
That is a lovely plane you guys did! That Porsche dealership had some amazing dealer kept cars in the back. God, I was drooling of what collection that is!
Awesome and unique detailing Larry! Question, would putting ceramic coating on it makes sense? I know it works great on cars so I would assume it would in planes as well
It will indeed work on the plane also but for a fairly low time period making it a bit pointless & costly. Maybe that is the reason why ceramic coating was not applied
Actually you can. According to my research, there are companies that specialize in ceramic coating airplanes but it's more costlier than your auto applications of course but the benefits are the same with the added benefit of keeping exhaust stains off much better than untreated surfaces. What I don't know is how long it lasts but the technology is out there and available
After watching this I realized that I literally drove by Larry when he was at the Porsche dealership. It's crazy because I should have recognized him, but I didn't even think about it until now.
16:16 That's a North American T-6 Texan, a radial-engined trainer for the US Air Force that dates back to WWII. It was one of the most popular (advanced) trainers for fighter pilots during the war, as it prepped them to fly something like the P-51 Mustang. It's not unusual to find them in the bare-metal finish or in very bright colors.
Larry after correcting paint like that on an airplane is it worth using some sort of sealant on it? And I wonder if the added sealant would cut through the air a little bit better as well? Used to use a product called finish first, this was back in the late 90s early 2000 and the developer claimed that would be beneficial on aircraft.
I always love the plane videos that you do just because you get to see sort of a different technique that you use to get leverage when polishing I noticed that you used that technique again while doing the fuselage it's where you're holding the rotor tool at such a specific angle to get the best result it seems like you're right up on the plane so that you can hold it at a specific angle I always find this fascinating well done again Larry.
16:14 That old girl is older than all of you combined. I think that's a Dauntless, but I may be mistaken. After a quick search, the old girl is indeed a Dauntless. There are only 18 left, with four being airworthy, you you got a treat seeing her!
These videos are awesome! Would be pretty cool to have my pops 69 Mach 1 detailed. He always wanted to finish the cut and buff stage but his eyesight started going. Keep up the good work!
I'm addicted to your videos Larry! I have learned so many things and have spent way too many hours watching them! Buuutt. My cars are looking better than ever! Thank you for all the great vids. I have one quick question maybe you or someone else reading this can answer. Do the polishes you used on the aircraft have to be specialized in that they are anti-static? If static attracts dust, wouldn't that cause drag? Thanks
I dont know if you mention it in a earlier ep. But i want to know what happen to the gigantic job with all the cars you started with ,you did the car inside the garage with no electricity and no water. That was soo dope.
If you take off all that dead skin, then do you need to repaint it with clear coat? Aren't you left with 2-3mm of paint on your car after you shave off the top layer of dead skin? Or is it just a fact that after every polishing, you're removing paint.
All those Porsche cars are appreciating so fast it makes no sense to sell them unless it's a rediculous offer. Every dealership seems to have a private collection of NFS pieces.
What great customer service at that Porsche dealership. I’ll be lucky for my local Porsche dealer to let me look around their lot without getting kicked out.
What a super video! I wonder, however, you are always extolling the virtue of doing the least aggressive method of correction first, then stepping it up. From a paint thickness in the mid 3’s to your final product at mid 1’s, that’s quite a drop (using a wool pad and an aggressive compound). I’m sure you considered something less aggressive first, but it didn’t come out in the video. Just an observation. Great job on the plane…it looks sooooo much better!

you are totally right, that was my first thought when he was spinning the prop!
ALWAYS treat a propeller as if it is "live".

50k miles on a Ferrari? At least someone drives it!
50k miles is not that much for a 360
@@bmwf1152 Beat to death apparently for miles
there was a 458 for sale not too long ago with 90k miles
I mean, there was an Enzo, not to much ago, with 90k + Miles (if i'm not mistaken) and the owner, just pretty much used as a daily driver car.
I loved the first part of this video! I know that his friend works at Porsche but having that much retention about all the specifications on the cars is super cool. Listening to him talk about all the specs was awesome.
What a lot of people don't realize is that washing and waxing a typical single engine GA airplane is equivalent to doing 3 saloon cars.
love Ammo and Larry...its awesome that you detail more then just Cars (Boats, Planes, Doodle Bugs, Buses)....i am waiting for Larry to tackle his first 2 wheeler...
Amazing video as always, Larry!
It's definitely nice to see you detailing an aircraft aside from cars. Keep up the awesome work.^^
Truly inspiring content. Detailing can go in any direction.
I love this content.
Awesome work Larry
Thank you for coming to the rescue once again ! Can’t wait to fly the TB20 up to see you soon 👍🏼
Not even kidding...I grew up just a few miles from that airport. It used to be well known as G. O. Carlson Airport. I was there weekly for Civil Air Patrol meetings as a teen. I know this hanger! I'm hopefully moving back up that way soon.
I'm just drooling looking at those beautiful rides. Thank you so much, Larry, for sharing those great shots with us! That's why we love you!
well that's a good way to influence car values. "The dealership owns them, they're not for sale."

A garage full of Porsches and a Ferrari. But a lovely gem in the corner being the Aston Martin. By far the nicest car in there

That is Porsche Heaven

The company I work for did work on the Audi & Porsche of Warrington, it’s cool seeing it all completed. That collection is amazing.
Looking at Larry’s shirt with all the polish dust on it gave me an interesting thought how it would be cool if that was the shirt had that design on it already!
I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Definitely need an airbrushed tee!!
I’ve repaired t6 Texan ii’s for the navy and they have the same props (which are painted black). I hope those weren’t black and the paint was removed.
This seemed like a cool opportunity to teach us as well as practice some new techniques for yourself! I really enjoyed your process of figuring out the best way to deal with the lichen.

Love the cross between rebuild rescue and ammo nyc! Can’t wait to see if you do the boat project too
I've been waiting for that one forever 😭
That dealer tour was insane!!

One of the best detail Guys on the Planet….
Please do an old RV next.
I relieved, thanks for huge effort :)

My inner AvGeek was pleased with this video... and the collection of cars at the dealership was awesome!
These videos are the best
Keep up the good work
I love watching the aircrafts detailing. Would love to see a helicopter
This is a really cool video and has tons of useful information in terms of paint correction technique. Thank you Larry!
Truly amazing work. 😎👊🏻🔨
Thank you Larry, for the look into that Porsche dealership's, 'Secret Room'!,
I wanna see you work on an old beetle...

Great Job, the plane looks so good now!
That airplane looks good
Awesome video
Boy...his detail job really took off! Nice work again.
I wonder what a non abbrasive polish (like Carpro Essence Plus) would do if it would make it a bit more gloss without affecting the thickness too much
welcome to this episode of Fly and Protect
Greeze from Germany 😁 nice video 👌 2 Plane you polish right ? 😁
Work can wait, Larry uploaded
Larry in the Porsche showroom was funny to me Idk why
That RS6 looks amazing and those Porsches are beautiful. I love this channel.
You truly are the best!
Keep up the great work Larry!
Great job Larry
One day I will own a Porsche. Did you see the new gt3RS???? That thing is NUTS!!

Amazing detail man.have a danm good day man.
These videos are awesome! Would be pretty cool to have my pops 69 Mach 1 detailed. He always wanted to finish the cut and buff stage but his eyesight started going. Keep up the good work!
Did I miss the part where this plane was abandoned and free?
Come on Larry, you don't need to do the click bait thing.
Hope they keep the name Trinidad
I'm addicted to your videos Larry! I have learned so many things and have spent way too many hours watching them! Buuutt. My cars are looking better than ever! Thank you for all the great vids.

The polished plane that took off was a T6.

"Sounds horrible, I'm not available" Lol
Larry missed an opportunity to say “that and a whole lot more on this episode of fly and protect” lol
There is not 6 millimeters paint on a car (almost 1/4 inch), Its about 0,6 millimeters.
Why not power wash first? Then claybar? Wouldn’t these 2 steps preserve paint depth?
I was wondering
What a super video! I wonder, however, you are always extolling the virtue of doing the least aggressive method of correction first, then stepping it up.

So happy that airplane has returned to the skies lol
Wow this video is awesome, airplay detail.
Larry Kosilla … Unofficial PORSCHE Ambassador :^D. LOVE these other than car videos keep up the great content!
I used to be a detailer for my current job but now I fly the pc12 for them…good times
Love me some Pilatus. Enjoy flying the PC-12. It’s such a well built, versatile aircraft.
Nice job. Adding a ceramic coating could potentially help for the gloss maybe?
