How to Install Car Paint Coating: AMMO REFLEX PRO
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Applying AMMO Reflex Pro is simple and easy to do. Wash and decontaminant the paint, dry, and install. Be sure to wear PPE as you would when cleaning a dirty interior or polishing the paint. This video shows you the step by step process for installing the paint coating, AMMO Reflex Pro Enamel Coat. Allow 6-12 hours before getting wet/driving/touching for best curing and final shine. The end of this video is a Q&A section based on the questions I have received in the past few days. I'm sure you will have more questions, so feel free to reach out to me directly. Be well everyone! -L
Larry one of my favorite things about your products (apart from them working amazing) is that you’re so cautious about what you put into them. Working with products every day of the week it’s comforting to know you’re prioritizing safety, and that it’s not an after thought. please always keep doing what you’re doing you’re a huge inspiration of how far being an honest, hardworking business man can get you
A true detailer's work ethos.
I am afraid big chunks of the general detailing business will put every so small bits of graphine in their coatings, and hype up the industry to a "new" graphine (snake oil) era.
Just wish he’d sell them in the uk. I’ve watched this channel from the start and I still can’t use his products...
James Dawson Great comment & agree with you👍🏻👍🏻
The most integrity, most transparent and no-BS marketing buzzword of all detailing companies. If Larry releases a new product, it's clear a loooot of work has been put into it.
Exactly why I enjoy listening to his opinion and the though process behind each product. I enjoyed every minute of the video.
*lot
i'm doing this more for myself as a reference, but i'm sure someone else will be glad i did.

I just came back to refresh my memory on some things, so this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks Buddy. You deserve a big French kiss 😘 No homo
This should be pinned! Thanks! 👍👌
Thanks for wearing your heart on your sleeve, Larry. Always 100% transparent. The goal of this product makes total sense.
If only I had a teacher back in school who could explain me stuff this well
agree, Larry is the Alton Brown of detailing
*explain stuff to me
😁✌
@@jdisdetermined looks like need a good English teacher as well
I’m an old dude, and here’s my 2 cents worth. From what I have seen over and over again, the businesses that take the path you are on, never run out of customers.
The fact that you felt you had to emphasize that you're not trying to cause trouble is a sad telling of the age we are living in. We appreciate you and the lengths you go through to develop products and educate your customers on those products. Thank you Larry!
I think this is brilliant Larry. A lot of big manufacturs would not take the time to sit and explain what you just said in that video.
Transparancy is the key for me. Your taking a risk with the antimicrobial but gosh thats a good idea. Yes you are a one man show, but you give the best show!
Keep on your work you have a big group of people supporting your values🔥🔥🔥
I never ever detailed my car, but your passion and indepth knowledge is so awesome. Gives my so much inspiration on other things in live.
Very well said! My thoughts are the same!
The most honest, sincere, transparent, well spoken and easy to enjoy videos on the internet! Larry- Keep doing what you're doing. It's what's making you a success!
I love and so appreciate all of your nerdy, geeked out, scientifically based, evidence-based explanations. When I listen to your explanations I finally understand the physics and chemistry, in this videos case chemistry, of decisions when detailing. I also appreciate that you use the terminology that scientists use and then you go on to define it and give examples that laymen can understand. Thank you so much for the incredible thought and care you put into everything you do.
Larry, the magnitude of the effort, transparency and honesty that you put into your videos, your products and your business make it really easy for millions of us to look up to you. You are a true inspiration to in both business and detailing. Doesn't hurt that you also like to lace 'em up and throw a puck around too!
This video was a nice reminder of why I like Larry so much. Customer for life.
The last part of the video was my favorite! Props to you Larry for all the effort you’ve put into your products! You just got another customer 👍
This guy is the real deal. He truly cares about the positive impact he and his products have. He’s willing to change direction in business strategy, if it’s the right thing to do. A true vision driven leader in the industry. Maybe he can spend some time mentoring Matt Mormon.
I follow matt moreman's Obsessed Garage channel loosely. Other than always wanting the 'best' car care/detail stuff and becoming a dealer/distributor of such products with his own business whats it about his approach that's not up to par? He is not science based and focus on results of products out there while Larry is very science based and uses it to develop his own product line that helps differentiate and make it work better from other products. I do like how Matt Moreman tests some the of products that AMMO doesn't have such as the different window treatments when the market is flooded with so much stuff. When started getting into detailing my own cars I took at look at Chemcial Guys and their line of products are confusing as to what exactly they do or when they are to be use. With that said I use almost all ofammo products b/c how Larry explains how each works and look to some of Obsessed Garages take on products that AMMo doesn't have. I also wonder if Obsessed Garage would've carry and promote Ammo products if it was widely distributed. I think Matt Moreman promotes products that he can sell/become a distributor of. In the end, i do agree with you, the number of subscribers on ammo vs obssesed garage or other detail channels like chemical guys tell us the story who is the leader in this field.
Gary F Hi Gary. To be quite honest with you, the short answer is that I have trouble with arrogance. I have purchased many products from both Ammo and OG, and most likely will continue to buy the products I like from whomever sells them, including OG. I just take exception to someone telling his “purchasing audience” that, “well I’m testing this product, and will sell it to you, but if it breaks, don’t ask me to fix it or send you a new one..” “it’s a grass roots effort and I’ve put all the work into testing it”... now, let me get into my $200k Porsche and be on my way. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that he’s successfully selling items that, for the most part work well. I appreciate it, but sometimes it’s better to be more humble. It’s ok if he isn’t, and it’s ok if I voice that I am not a fan. The key difference for me between the two guys, Larry and Matt - Larry has a passion for creating and selling products that mean something, Matt has a passion to make money. I’m just not impressed, that’s all... 😉
I work on paint and coatings as part of my job developing consumer electronics. 100% appreciate this explanation of the Reflex Pro product. Everyone should listen to this video! Legit technical discussion and great info. Don't think I've heard any other company present real info like this, now I want to try this coating.
This is why I’m buying your products. You’re the only person/company I know of that gives highly detailed breakdowns and info about your products and how to apply them. Nobody is doing what you’re doing and if I had $1,500 to freely blow, I would buy your special edition polisher instantly.
Please continue your hard efforts to stand out and be aspiring to car enthusiasts and detailers.
Video idea: you should do an updated 964 update on your car. Would be cool to see you go through everything again now that it’s in the new building under those crazy hex lights
This is great stuff! I was in the detailing industry for over 10 years, and when Ceramics came out there was a lot of smoke and mirrors and it always felt like snake oil in order to sell people on proper paint correction through compound and polish (since people were charging upwards of 1k-2k to do an application). When I heard people offering "Paint Warranties" it felt like a dealership offering you a special "paint coating" which was really just a mass cash grab in hopes no one came back to collect. This explains a lot better about what you are offering and looking forward to trying it out. My background is Mechanical Engineering so I'm always down for a nerd session lol
It's information like this that keeps me coming back to AMMO products. I haven't trusted/used another companies coating because AMMO didn't have one, but now I'll be ordering and using Reflex PRO with the confidence that I'm getting exactly what I'm told I'm getting.
It makes sense that for a detailer, "quick" means 31 minutes 😀
Quality content as usual 👍
Awesome video Larry you didn’t have to do this and the fact that you did speaks volumes!
Well Done!
This is whats great about ammo and Larry. He cares about his products and the people using them. He doesn't just do it for the money like others.
Larry, appreciate the ethical, moral & honest approach. Keeping leading the pack for us weekend detail warriors. Bravo!!
your dedication to car detailing is so inspiring.
I think Larry's approach with transparency, honesty and cautiousness is eventually the best advertisement ANY person and/or company can and should have! I would buy from him anytime and feel good about the purchase. Even if it wouldn't give me the results I would be looking for, I'd still feel good about the purchase. Wish many more companies would approach it this way. Keep it up Larry! 👌 Learning tons from you and enjoying all of it along the way 😁👌
Love this guy man. Such a genuine, down to earth, straight forward person. Nicest and smartest guy in detailing. Looking forward to getting my bottle!
Appreciate that you “care” about what you make, put together, sell, & use..... Just shows how much you care & your high standards that you strive for. Appreciate that you’re doing the hard work, so we don’t have to😉; especially since there’s not 40 hrs in one day; & when a person is busy busy, having to NOT do all the research & work to find great products is a time saver.....✌🏼✌🏼
No BS, tells it like it is, I and everyone here appreciate it man!
Those awesome hex pattern lights almost look like a decal on the car, especially being right dead center on the hood. Very cool. Thanks Larry!
👍👌✌
Larry & community I have applied this to all interior surfaces. Painted & unpainted. It bonds very well and leaves the surfaces looking & feeling incredibly elegant. That's the only word I can come up with to describe it
My god. This is next level nerdiness. Bravo.
Haven't even watched this yet, but I just know I am gonna love this in-depth and completely honest breakdown of coatings and their (dis-)advantages.
Congratulations in your business you’re doing the most!
Thank you Larry for taking the time to explain not only how your product works, but all of the science behind it. I love the fact that you aren't screaming at us "BUY THIS NOW" and really telling us why we should be buying this. I really enjoy hearing your passion and believe that you truly care about your customers. That's why I keep buying your products. Cheers
love this man's work Larry is the best in the business and makes the best products and if you watch him work he is the best at getting those details
Great video! Love the technical aspect of the video, don’t really get to see that side of the detailing industry on RUclips or any media platform. Regardless, I feel you may have struck gold by using the anti microbial additive in the coating. Never have I ever seen it plus it is super relevant in todays world. Thanks Larry for your hard work & dedication
Larry, as always it’s great to see you focus on your beliefs and never on diminishing the efforts of others. Let them do them.....Pure class.
Larry! Great Q & A. A great analogy to describe why you want your product hard but flexible and why you can't have it all is the way they made samurai swords. Finding the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility so you have a blade that is both sharp but won't shatter.
thank you for being so real! the whole bit in the begininng about in tests it lasted 3 years but in real world you say and even sell it as 1 year. I am so tired of all the marketing with some of theses coatings that say 7 years, 8 years, 9 years etc. They might be true in a lab sense but in real world no. thanks, your the man.
The garage is perfection
You are a professional, love your videos due to your quirkiness but your ethos is beyond reproach, keep going Larry we will always be here.
Thanks for being candid Larry. Integrity goes a long way!
No one is more well-researched than you. F the haters, let them bathe in graphene (or graphite, as it were)
Just want to swing by and say i use your stuff on my truck and people always ask how i keep my truck so shiny. Your not the cheapest product on the shelf by far, but a small business and made in usa. You have my support larry! Keep it up man!
buying it cuz of your clear passion in developing it & your philosophies on what's important in such a product.
I’ve been a long time lurking viewer. This video made me subscribe to the channel, subscribe to your website and now exclusively use your products. Thanks Larry for putting yourself and your company out there when personal and professional opinions matter most. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
What I loved about the first Reflex was I could put it on virtually everything and it was super easy to apply. Seems like it’s back and better ! Yay !
Keep the hard work Larry ! The only detailer in youtube that is worth watching ,you are like the pioneer in YT detailing, all other detailers out there learned from your knowledge
Love the new background
I appreciate you not wanting to ruffle others feathers and your willingness to speak your and the data's truth. So I'll just say it like it is. They're lying and trying to sell product🤷🏾♂️. We appreciate you bro🤙🏾
It’s an amazing product and it smells like clean linen. Just shine and deep shine of the paint
I understood about 77% of what you were saying. Enjoyed the video though and learned something new. You’re not that guy to bash other companies so we respect ya Larry and appreciate the products and the new cool information. Can’t wait to try this out one day!
This is a beautiful video regarding the time and work put into all aspects off the products and explanation of additives in general. Larry you got me to start my detailing business and I am so grateful that there are honest, kind, thoughtful people like you making this world a better place.
Love the videos Larry. Your the Man when it comes to being honest and not jumping on the band wagon like I see a lot of Companies doing. Keep up the videos and live streams and I’ll keep watching.
Very good video with cold hard facts. Ive been telling people for a while the Graphene coatings is all marketing and hype.
You said you are a 1 man operation and I have a lot of respect for you and how hard you work, I would Love to see a collab or see you hire Mitch from the youtube channel "The Detail Geek" I feel you two would get along great and you both share the same anal mindset about your work that makes it stand out! Love the content!
that's a negative. Larry is a pro like a real pro. Mitch still has a way to go. Larry has decades of experience with his own line. Mitch doesn't. Larry has a teaching experience vs Mitch having an ASMR experience. There is no benefit to Larry to collab. He has a lot of projects already.
Larry you are the man, love the way you break this down for us. Keep up the killer work and congrats on the new studio
Very clear explanation.
You are as cautious with your statements and motivations as while detailing world’s most expensive cars. I like your business model and style.
Amazing job Larry. Even if you had an inferior product I would by it from you to support honest business practices. However, your product is amazing so I still buy them.
Thanks Larry!
also cant wait for you to paint your utility panel box.
The new shop is looking awesome 😊😍
Respect! 👍👍👍👍👍
You stand your ground for what you believe and I really respect your answers. I am willing to try Graphene but I am far from sure it is the best product but it Will be fun to try.
You have a honestly way to recommend products that you know works to your customer and that is Kudos.
Your dedication to our profession is motivating. Your selflessness and openness has really helped me to see through the BS and appreciate the truth even more. I hope the top Detailing'channels watch this and learn. Because I was this close to buying a Graphene coating because the channels I watch have said it is better at preventing waterspots than Si02 coatings. Now, if I understood you correctly, it is the coating and not the graphene that does the work. How good is AMMO's ceramic at preventing water spots? My daily driver is not garaged and I had it coated with Opti Coat Pro Plus and Apel film in January. But water spots have been an issue.
I think I’m going to try this out . I’ve been using Car pro for over 5 years now . But I’m ready to try something different . And I trust you professional opinion
Can you make a video on why you think your system is better than ceramic coating? I’m about to do a full paint correct and paint protection on my car and I don’t know if I want to do a graphene coating or your 3 step protection.
I absolutely love how open minded you are and like watching you evolve and expand. I remember asking about coatings years ago and you were really against it but you did not say anything negative just the why you felt that way at the time. The world needs more of that for sure and the best thing is knowing you go by the science and not buzz words or chasing trends. While i only have a few of your products you can tell the passion that is put in every single one and dont ever get away from that. I just wish that you had Canadian distribution as products get really expensive unless ordered in really large quantities. Keep up the great work
Ps while i still watched the technical part there really is no need as I absolutely trust your opinion and know you would not put out a sub par product
Larry thank you for your honesty and integrity, the term 'graphene' is everywhere now, company's are definitely pushing their products with graphene, your explanation and breakdown was helpful, thank you larry
Awesome, Larry. I’m glad to be a customer of yours.
Congratulations Larry on your studio, it looks amazing. I have done my research and by far your products and the effort and energy you put behind them stand out in an over crowded market. I would like to ask what does the AMMO name stand for ? Is there any meaning behind it. Also, as I’m building my own business in the detail world, what advice would you recommend. Cheers..
That second response Larry read about graphene is spot on. It's just marketing, the current technology for graphene is no where what these marketing claims are stating
Looks awesome Larry! Like the twinning card too!
Really impressive to see your integrity & consideration! Rare qualities these days, but have obviously contributed to your success & amazing reputation!
This makes me love Larry even more. Well done!
That a sick looking DA polisher!
Love the lights
This video could've been 9 minutes shorter if you left out all the disclaimers. I like your energy and how you're passionate about what you do. (my own disclaimer: I've never owned a car, only bicycles being Dutch. I've washed my dad's Nissans and Toyotas a few times in the 1980's and early 90's.)
Larry, I am a huge fan and have almost all of your products. Love them!!
Quick question - I applied two coats of Reflex and saw some water spots (that I missed in drying) now underneath the Reflex coating. What do I do now to get those water spots out as they have been coated twice? Thanks
Great context in this video, thank you Larry on how you choose to market yourself and your brand - definitely great products and very forward thinking.
Larry the new shop looks incredible congratulations
Still haven't had the chance to use my Reflex but I think I might have to spend the money anyway lol
Great video Larry!!
I’ve watched it twice!!
I’ve really enjoyed this!!
👍💪👍
I greatly respect and admire your beliefs and the effort you attempt to instill them into your products and business philosophy. Stay true to them in all aspects of your life and you will always be successful in everything you do.
I have dismissed these graphene products as snake oil. Still don’t understand what makes the graphene supposedly better than the traditional coatings.
Side note question: did you say use Brute? As in aftershave? Lol
I have been waiting a long time for this. Yes, I could have used something else but I chose not too. I like your products and I like how you think. I don't have to worry about it. You already have.
Thank you for the effort you put into each of your videos!
Larry and "quick videos" don't exist. Larry's idea of a quick video is 25-30 mins LMAO. Great video regardless!! :-D
Hi Larry,
As always another great video. I look forward to using the product soon.
ok so how coatings and additives was explained to me... coating or base is the cookie dough... additives are the things you would put in it; chocolate chips, raisins (trust issues there) reases et al. the additives do different things to the base, sweet, salty, peanut buttery etc, this doesn't change the base cookie but adds to it and makes it better (imho).
love the transparency! great video!
An honest and frank assessment.. as usual thanks for being candid and clear. And when can we get it in the UK?
Thanks a million for the vids from belfast Northern Ireland! G...
I ship to the UK daily :)
Just put in an order for this...can't wait to try it out! Great video as always!
Larry, thanks for the honesty in your products. Do you and don’t worry about what the public at large has to say. Your integrity is paramount and anyone who gives you grief about that is just not worth your time.
I just put Reflex sheet coat and skin on my car. Thoughts on forking your with Reflex Pro? Wait a few months until it’s time to re apply and switch? I also have Reboot which I haven’t applied yet.
Thanks.
10/10 content
Larry you’re a treasure
I'd be interested in the weight added by applying this product vs. the drag reduction by reducing parasitic drag. Could have racing applications across all sorts of disciplines.
is there a minimum tempurature this can be applied AT? Larry, you are so inspiring and helpful you deserve so much credit!!!
Larry it would be cool to do a leather/ interior plastics interior coating with the anti bacteria additive in it
That is really cool! I sent it to a friend hopefully they are interested too
Ammo i love the garage
Great video as always Larry
