You know, it seems like some people like to complain that you "ramble on." Honestly, I enjoy it - it makes it feel like you're talking directly to me and it makes it feel like you legitimately care about cars just looking nice and not just selling your product. That makes me happy and makes me actually want to invest in your product. Also, to everyone who is so rushed: hope you don't rush that much when you're "detailing" your car... -_- Great videos! I love them! Keep it up :)
I agree with Marcos Herrera , I love how much love and passion you have for vehicles. Makes me love purchasing your products. I know i'm supporting passion, not bigger pockets.
Mike Keefner i also would never buy a product from someon i dont see with my own eyes that he loves his job and the cars he cleans i would 110% trust this guy products
Gsaini100: no you cannot put sealant on the glass. It will cause the wiper blades to have issues. Stick with a rain x type product for windows. Thx again
Good point. I'll be sure to mention that. Sonax has great products as well. My wheel cleaner is similar but different in a few different ways that are important to me. Nonetheless, Sonax, Adams, and the Chemguys are friends of mine and are all super honest people. Luckily most everyone in this business is super cool to work with. Stay in touch and thanks for the comment. -L
It adds a "cushion" when apply pressure to the paint and helps you remember what sides of the cloth you "used" already. Its easy to fold and move on with a clean section of the cloth. If you randomly wipe with an unfolded cloth, you dont know which you used and what you haven't. Its simply a more efficient way of wiping the paint.
Whats up...I try to stay away from acid for the obvious reasons, but the only time I would use it is if the rims are so far gone that it is a last resorts. for me it doesnt happen often. Please be careful. I used to work at a place that manufactured it...its nasty stuff. People experienced "chemical burns". Use full length (up to forearm) gloves if you must use it. Stay safe! -L
Sonax is really great stuff....I think we pushed the limits and made it better. I'm very excited about version 8 of my mixtures. Looking good! Thx for the note. -L
No sealants or coatings or whatever "prevent scratches"...they simply acts as protection between the clear coat and the item causing the scratch. Believe it or not the swirls can still show up...just not in the CC, it will be in the sealant. Only prevention is in cleaning or "touching" your car properly. Make sense? I know I'm splitting hairs but I wanted to give you the real answer. We all need to focus on our washing regimen, not just about the product. Thx for your question. -L
The only way to stop the chip is with a clear bra (as I'm sure you know). You can "touch up" the paint on a regular basis....thats pretty much the only way to repair the paint without re-painting.
Nick, great question. AMMO plum rim cleaner is super safe on chrome and polished aluminum because a it's pH balanced. That's key. For those small areas, do you have a lugnut brush? For added protection, I use my sealant (skin) on the polished part. It's a good way to help knock down the brake dust
You're right...I just dont like to "hard sell". I enjoy helping detailers. I dont want people to feel that this is a sales pitch because its definitely not. I just really love what I do. Anyways, good point and thanks for the encouragement. -L
Thanks Frank! Winter is such a pain in the butt. You can bring a bucket of warm water and soap to the self-serve wash area and use their water. I know they "frown" upon that...but whatever. Do what you got to do! Make sure you add lots of sealant prior to these crazy cold months to increase the protection during the tough months. -L
Hey, yes...its a formula I've been working on for a quite a bit of time. It's a combination of a bunch of different raw materials..at different ratios etc.. Good question! Thx
Thanks Mike! Great seeing at SEMA as well. Thank you for the quote update as well. I knew I was close! But the exact quote is much better, so thx for that. Lets talk soon, and thx for watching!
I have. I'd rather get cold, then be all "clunky"...I'm weird. I like to have my fingers free. Sometimes the neoprene is too thick and its get me crazy. (My wife gets mad everytime she see me freezing my hands off. LOL) Stop coming up with smart, logical, and safe ways of keeping me warm. I JUST WONT DO IT. Haaaa! I'm officially crazy. Thx again for the comment and the great solution. Stay in touch, -L
Hi Larry, Thanks for the shout out! It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you at SEMA. The quote you're referencing goes like this, "Find something you like and use it often" I have an article on the story behind the quote that has to do with a Paint Instructor for PPG, you can find it by Googling the title. Keep on shining my friend... -Mike Phillips
Its hard to say...you can wash the car and contaminants can still be there. Feel the paint, if its rough...then you should absolutely clay bar it before sealing it. I think you should clay either way. -L
..... You are crazy! And I mean that in the most respectful way possible. I considered myself a car cleaning fanatic, however I had yet to watch any of your videos. I have learned a ton of useful info about what not to do when cleaning/protecting a vehicle. And most importantly the proper way to care for a vehicle that you love. Thanks a ton for taking the time to show us your talent. AMMO all the way.
Its because my hands get raw...has nothing to do with the cold (although it helps). My hands are how I make a living, need to protect them. Make sense? Thx for the note.
CarPassion needs a toque and long johns. Can never over dress in winter-- also construction background here. Nothing worse than freezing in a bucket truck or lift where you can't move to stay warm.
Hey bud, its only available at my website. Also, click on my video section and below the videos are links to towels and brushes etc... Hope that helps. If you cant find them, send me an email larry@ammonyc.com
One of the best things I did, was install a hot water spigot on the outside of my home. Great for washing cars and a lot of things you never thought of, like rinsing out your water softener reservoir!
larry thank you very much for sharing your knowledge...everyone can see your love for cars, watching Drive Clean made me love cars even more your videos are pure inspiration. Keep it on!!
Larry you are awesome! Thank you for the in depth info. I will continue to watch and learn from you. I just purchased a drying product from you which I'll be using next week and will leave a review. Keep up the good work dude!
Just a tip for winter weather; Milwaukee makes a battery powered jacket that is heated. Will keep your core temperature up and you will be a bit more comfortable. Hands are another issue all together though hehe.
Scm11904, thanks for the email. It depends on the type of car, condition, what needs to get done (or what the owner expects to have after the job), how far I need to travel, how many cars need to be done at that location. I would need a bit more info before I could give you a good idea of price. Every car is different and each job (usually) has a price based on what it needs and the time devoted to achieve that result.
I would love a video on how to properly clean a very winter dirty car. how to effectively clean off sand and salt that has spray up on the car from daily use. love your videos. you make me want to clean my car haha
Mostly, you want to stick with ph-neutral wheel cleaners like Larry's cleaner. However, for neglected wheels or "once-in-a-while" details you need an acid cleaner. Use something like Meguiar's Wheel Brightener to break up all that embedded break dust. Then you should use Iron X to remove further embedded brake dust/road grime. Finally, clay and hand polish to brighten the wheel back up to it's original shine. After, coat the wheel with a sealant like Larry's Skin product. Hope this helps.
The drive clean series was an eye opener for me.You took what I thought I new and added a whole new level to it. I have, since my teens, had a little OCD going when it came to cleaning my vehicles, nice to see someone taking that to the next level an laying the foundations for an empire. I moved some years ago to a harsh climate, its way below 0'C weather for at least 4 months a year. How do you prepare for that and maintain in weather you cant wash your car in and with roads lined with salt?
I take inspiration from you and agree about the winter protection, I have a classic Mini which are prone to rusting. BADLY!. Winter protection is massively important for me because of the salt on British roads...
I usually rinse the removed debris after the spraying the rims with wheel cleaner then use car wash with my brushes and barrel brush with dedicated 2 wheel buckets .......seems safer and keeps brushes cleaner
I thought about it. From Chemical guys to ... name them, they all use orbital polishers to apply the product. Yes, while with sealants its often applied as a thin lair and not applied like a polish or compound - still, an orbital tool... is an orbital tool - it applies product in a circular motion at a rate of speed that is more than what a reasonable person would do if they did apply using a circular motion. Its a sealant, not a polish - they key is getting it on, not paint correction. I don't see an issue with a circular motion if a car was cleaned properly first and simply getting a layer on - not using it like a polish or compound.
Lol... I feel your pain... I love washing my car and doing the whole thing right... It takes up about 2 hours every week for a "routine" wash. I get weird stares at the car wash when I start drying it top to bottom but given the shitty weather in utah, 1 week of sun in the winter isn't gonna be wasted bouncing off my salt covered paint! Car's gotta shine! :D
A product that might help is AutoSmart Tardis or some WD40 can also work wonders. However it's always possible they're too far and need a cleanup and respray. I noticed that most of the time, even on my own car, it's from poor maintenance. If you wash your car every week, you can keep them spot free with even just car wash soap. You don't even need a dedicated wheel cleaner - but I'm the first to admit, it's not always feasible to keep up with a weekly washing routine.
ONR is a fantastic product. Everything from Optimum is great, but if you want something you can talk direct, look into AMMO although their wash isn't technically a no-rinse.
You can absolutely remove it, there are several different methods. The quickest and easiest is to use a fallout remover such as CarPro IronX, Auto Finesse Iron Out, Wolf's Chemicals De-Ironiser Gel etc. These are specifically formulated to remove pitting and contamination from clear coats. The other method is to use clay (and clay lube). It is more time consuming but will leave the finish smooth and glass like. If it is really bad try using both methods. Tar deposits are also common on wheels.
Apartment dweller here with no garage. Solution? Combo of coin spray wash and ONR applied with soft wand brush or micro fiber wand. Rinse with spot-free filtered water setting. Get up to 55 mph to air dry. On the occasional winter day that gets over 40'F I will dry and spray detail everything. Finish remains beautiful and swirl free all year.
One thing we'd like to know is how to keep from freezing your hands off! I've once washed my car and quit halfway through because my hands were stone cold NUMB up to 2" past my wrists! And yes, it can get pretty freaking cold down here in Texas. It snowed last year so we didn't escape the monster blizzard that froze most of the country!
I'm not sure where you are located but in cold weather like canada water will freeze right away you put it in your car, i just tried it in a self serve car wash. The only way to wash a car in real winter is washing in a heated garage and wait some hours until it's totally dry. The weather you are showing is like autumn for us.
I get on ok washing my car in winter, to be honist I have more problems in sunny as I hate hot weather plus you can`t wash & apply wax etc in sunlight well. I wear Marigold gold gloves (kind you wash pots with). Wind proof but breathable clothing, thick wool sock. Plus be really care full using your hose, not to get spray on you wetting you through. I stand quite far back when wetting my car down, plus be mindful of wind direction if any. To not blow spray back on me. Hope this helps to any body who`s listening.
A couple of points about this great video. I live in a cold country with fairly harsh winters (for here) for the past few years - You mentioned using warm water to wash the car in winter but I use hot water in the bucket all through the year because our roads are filthy here, 10x worse every day of winter than summer but equally bad with a shower of rain in summer. Also, do you agree that a detailed car with sealant and wax on it repels contaminants in winter and is easier to wash?
You know, it seems like some people like to complain that you "ramble on." Honestly, I enjoy it - it makes it feel like you're talking directly to me and it makes it feel like you legitimately care about cars just looking nice and not just selling your product. That makes me happy and makes me actually want to invest in your product.
Also, to everyone who is so rushed: hope you don't rush that much when you're "detailing" your car... -_-
Great videos! I love them! Keep it up :)
I agree with Marcos Herrera , I love how much love and passion you have for vehicles. Makes me love purchasing your products. I know i'm supporting passion, not bigger pockets.
Mike Keefner i also would never buy a product from someon i dont see with my own eyes that he loves his job and the cars he cleans i would 110% trust this guy products
Well said. I hope Larry doesn't change a thing.
Marcos Herrera because there's to many people with the attention span of a fly
How he payed you to comment this?
I try to post one every week. Thanks again for your support.
His level of devotion to making these videos is hugely remarkable. Cheers, for the great effort and thanks for the fantastic info.
Gsaini100: no you cannot put sealant on the glass. It will cause the wiper blades to have issues. Stick with a rain x type product for windows. Thx again

Coming by 2013! Stoked!!!!!
Good idea. Will do! Thx for the suggestion.
Yup they have something similar. Good product.
Sonax is really great stuff....I think we pushed the limits and made it better. I'm very excited about version 8 of my mixtures. Looking good! Thx for the note. -L

Catcherofbass. Totally agree. These rim were gross. The owner waits waaaaaay to long to clean. Errr
The products are 7 days away. So pumped!
The only way to stop the chip is with a clear bra (as I'm sure you know).
You can "touch up" the paint on a regular basis....thats pretty much the only way to repair the paint without re-painting.
I learned to manufacture products a few years ago when I consulted for another chemical company. Lots of fun!
Nick, great question. AMMO plum rim cleaner is super safe on chrome and polished aluminum because a it's pH balanced. That's key. For those small areas, do you have a lugnut brush? For added protection, I use my sealant (skin) on the polished part. It's a good way to help knock down the brake dust

Hey Brent, its pH balanced...so it certainly can be used on porous rubber. Good question! -L

Thanks Mike! Great seeing at SEMA as well. Thank you for the quote update as well. I knew I was close! But the exact quote is much better, so thx for that. Lets talk soon, and thx for watching!
Working on it as I write this....trust me, is realllly amazing. All new design. SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED about the clothing line. !!!!!
When it gets well below freezing...it will cause the product to be harder to use. Its doesnt flow the way I want it to.
I have. I'd rather get cold, then be all "clunky"...I'm weird. I like to have my fingers free. Sometimes the neoprene is too thick and its get me crazy. (My wife gets mad everytime she see me freezing my hands off. LOL) Stop coming up with smart, logical, and safe ways of keeping me warm. I JUST WONT DO IT. Haaaa! I'm officially crazy.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the shout out! It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you at SEMA. The quote you're referencing goes like this,
"Find something you like and use it often"
I have an article on the story behind the quote that has to do with a Paint Instructor for PPG, you can find it by Googling the title.
Keep on shining my friend...
-Mike Phillips
Its available now!!!
So appreciative. Thanks for the support Andre.
Thanks Jonathan! Tire gel will be coming out at the same time. So excited. (Rim soap too)
Its hard to say...you can wash the car and contaminants can still be there. Feel the paint, if its rough...then you should absolutely clay bar it before sealing it. I think you should clay either way. -L
Water spots...good idea. I need to find a car with water spots during my shooting session...I'm sure one will pop up. Thx for the advice! -L
Thx rallye666! Really appreciate the comment
Thank you Noah. Stay in touch. -L
We already have a video about that...its the BMW episode. Thx again!
Swissvax is a good company. Great branding. Seem like nice guys.
Thx bud!
Yes it will. It's actually pH balanced and safe on all rims. So amazing. Took forever to design
..... You are crazy! And I mean that in the most respectful way possible. I considered myself a car cleaning fanatic, however I had yet to watch any of your videos.

A true autimotive detailing scientist!

Jamie! Drive clean comes out in spring 2013. Can't wait!!
My favorite cleaning tips guy! So much information on cleaning cars properly
For you anything! Long time no see bubba. How's it go go? -L
Thanks Modded801!
Hey bud, my website is AMMONYC.com and yes I ship to the UK daily. Or send me an email directly: larry@ammonyc.com
Thanks again for watching!
i work in construction myself and i can see in his eyes this guy is freezing his balls off poor guy xD
CarPassion needs a toque and long johns. Can never over dress in winter-- also construction background here. Nothing worse than freezing in a bucket truck or lift where you can't move to stay warm.
CarPassion I’m a truck driver. I wear shorts thongs and singlets all year round. Climate control my friend.
Ethan my brush is so strong and I've beaten the heck out if it!
You can absolutely drive it!
I have watched this video for like the 10th time and seem to learn something new everytime lol
Great stuff. Can't tell you how much I appreciate all your time, effort and hard work put into these videos. Keep up the good work.
Cheers.
New season of Drive Clean coming in Spring 2013! Very excited.
Sweet! Thank for the note.
Thanks for making these videos. I like them. Im learning a lot. You got another subscriber
Hey bud, its only available at my website. Also, click on my video section and below the videos are links to towels and brushes etc... Hope that helps. If you cant find them, send me an email larry@ammonyc.com
Thanks again for detailed advice and why needing to protect the car more often during and from harsh weather. You are Great!
One of the best things I did, was install a hot water spigot on the outside of my home. Great for washing cars and a lot of things you never thought of, like rinsing out your water softener reservoir!
Love your vids. Hope you continue to upload more. I get such satisfaction watching a car being washed, especially by a pro like you.
I will sh0ot a video soon. Have a good car in mind. How about GT2 RS????
Faiz, my formula is stronger, no horrible smell, and has better coverage
larry thank you very much for sharing your knowledge...everyone can see your love for cars, watching Drive Clean made me love cars even more your videos are pure inspiration. Keep it on!!
When I'm ready to detail my car I'm buying your product and watching your videos lol you're awesome!
I enjoy your videos and all the information contained in them. Also, the Ammo products I've used have been terrific!! Keep up the good work.
I can imagine...
I have to say that these videos have helped out a lot. My 94 mazda looks amazing but still have some more practicing to do polishing the paint.
Larry you are awesome! Thank you for the in depth info. I will continue to watch and learn from you. I just purchased a drying product from you which I'll be using next week and will leave a review. Keep up the good work dude!
So what was your review on his drying product i want to know before I buy anything from Larry
Just a tip for winter weather; Milwaukee makes a battery powered jacket that is heated. Will keep your core temperature up and you will be a bit more comfortable. Hands are another issue all together though hehe.
I really appreciate your passion for this
you are the 'king' of detailing...so you know.
Scm11904, thanks for the email.

Every car is different and each job (usually) has a price based on what it needs and the time devoted to achieve that result.
11:26 Love the lab coat! Now we know where Larry draws his inspiration in spite of being a P-car guy!
I would love a video on how to properly clean a very winter dirty car. how to effectively clean off sand and salt that has spray up on the car from daily use. love your videos. you make me want to clean my car haha

used stuff i've learned from your vids to clay and machine buff my car, looks great keep making awesome vids
Awesome video man. Lots of pointers.
LOL!
This is definitely on my Christmas list!
good example of army boots, had personal experience! nice video again!
Luckily we don't have the shiny black boots in the Army anymore, so I can focus more on my car :)
*Cries in royal norwegian air force*
It's impossible to do it in Canada where I live the snow pretty much covers up untill the door handles in its snowing heavily
JDM Toyota which province you live in ?
The drive clean series was an eye opener for me.You took what I thought I new and added a whole new level to it. I have, since my teens, had a little OCD going when it came to cleaning my vehicles, nice to see someone taking that to the next level an laying the foundations for an empire. I moved some years ago to a harsh climate, its way below 0'C weather for at least 4 months a year. How do you prepare for that and maintain in weather you cant wash your car in and with roads lined with salt?
I take inspiration from you and agree about the winter protection, I have a classic Mini which are prone to rusting. BADLY!. Winter protection is massively important for me because of the salt on British roads...
I usually rinse the removed debris after the spraying the rims with wheel cleaner then use car wash with my brushes and barrel brush with dedicated 2 wheel buckets .......seems safer and keeps brushes cleaner
It does not smell!!!!!! Woohoo. That's what's taking so long to figure out.
Dude, you're legit! I would have no worries in leaving my car with you!
Lol...keep them clean!
I thought about it. From Chemical guys to ... name them, they all use orbital polishers to apply the product. Yes, while with sealants its often applied as a thin lair and not applied like a polish or compound - still, an orbital tool... is an orbital tool - it applies product in a circular motion at a rate of speed that is more than what a reasonable person would do if they did apply using a circular motion.
Its a sealant, not a polish - they key is getting it on, not paint correction. I don't see an issue with a circular motion if a car was cleaned properly first and simply getting a layer on - not using it like a polish or compound.

ONR is a fantastic product. Everything from Optimum is great, but if you want something you can talk direct, look into AMMO although their wash isn't technically a no-rinse.
"When I see guys doing that...my brain explodes" lol...
You can absolutely remove it, there are several different methods. The quickest and easiest is to use a fallout remover such as CarPro IronX, Auto Finesse Iron Out, Wolf's Chemicals De-Ironiser Gel etc. These are specifically formulated to remove pitting and contamination from clear coats. The other method is to use clay (and clay lube). It is more time consuming but will leave the finish smooth and glass like. If it is really bad try using both methods. Tar deposits are also common on wheels.
Apartment dweller here with no garage. Solution? Combo of coin spray wash and ONR applied with soft wand brush or micro fiber wand. Rinse with spot-free filtered water setting. Get up to 55 mph to air dry. On the occasional winter day that gets over 40'F I will dry and spray detail everything. Finish remains beautiful and swirl free all year.
Nice rims!
One thing we'd like to know is how to keep from freezing your hands off! I've once washed my car and quit halfway through because my hands were stone cold NUMB up to 2" past my wrists! And yes, it can get pretty freaking cold down here in Texas. It snowed last year so we didn't escape the monster blizzard that froze most of the country!
Warm to mildly hot water in a bucket goes a LONG way.
LK, I'd be happy to be a Beta Tester for the wheel regimen. Stuff looks fantastic!
I'm not sure where you are located but in cold weather like canada water will freeze right away you put it in your car, i just tried it in a self serve car wash. The only way to wash a car in real winter is washing in a heated garage and wait some hours until it's totally dry. The weather you are showing is like autumn for us.
I get on ok washing my car in winter, to be honist I have more problems in sunny as I hate hot weather plus you can`t wash & apply wax etc in sunlight well. I wear Marigold gold gloves (kind you wash pots with). Wind proof but breathable clothing, thick wool sock. Plus be really care full using your hose, not to get spray on you wetting you through. I stand quite far back when wetting my car down, plus be mindful of wind direction if any. To not blow spray back on me.
Hope this helps to any body who`s listening.
