I've been detailing over 35 years, and I KNOW I'm good. My customers swear by my results, and IAM a known ocd perfectionist. I've done a ton of paint correction, everything from hand wet sanding and rubbing out BY hand, complete vehicles, up to using the 3M Trizact system and Perfect It compounds and finishers. I have to admit that you gentlemen at AMMO have not only seriously impressed me, but I have actually learned several new ways to be much more productive, and cost efficient. Your videos are invaluable for not only beginners, but also seasoned successful pros. Keep up the good work guys. The info your providing is not just spot on correct, but can also save someone from destroying their own, or worse, a customers pride and joy. Thank you! South Lake Mobile Detailing
I love Kevin Brown. When I emailed him 10 years ago before he founded Buff Daddy, he would reply back with pages of unique replies. He didn't copy and paste it to answer my emails. He typed it out specifically for my case. And he wasn't selling anything at that time, so it wasn't like I was a potential customer. He was providing solutions to my unique challenges. Mad respect for him. That guy lives and breathes polishing and he loves it.
Longer the better, no need to apologise for the length of video's when the content is great and relevant. I like to see your perspective on things and compare to how I do and understand polishing. Great video's. *From Blackbeards Detailing (Scotland)*
There is absolutely NO need to apologize for length of video or amount of talking. It is an absolute PRIVELAGE that you and Kevin are sharing the amount of information you are for free with the rest of us weekend warriors/enthusiasts/professionals. Hell, some of the art instructional videos I have watched and own are over three hours. The information and format you guys share in is fantastic and a great example for anyone else. Furthermore, I love the fact that the presentation is unbiased and a general representation.
For us "detail" geeks, this was truly amazing information that I never considered. I'll never look at a buffing pad or a liquid product the same. I appreciate the effort and preparation that went into producing this video. It was time well spent.
And I'm sitting right here truly amazed by the amound of knowledge, wisdom and experience I've witnessed through these ATA series. You, gentlemen, are the real MVPs. Thanks a ton for your work, best wishes.
I learned almost everything I know about detailing from this man and this channel. Everywhere I've detailed I've had huge compliments on my work and when asked how long it took me to learn I tell them not very long and then I refer them to this channel. Not many people know their craft as well as he does.even If these videos were an hour long, they're worth watching
Your content could be an hour long! I’d watch it(most of us would). The mind blowing thing is you’re sharing you and Kevin Brown’s knowledge and expertise for free. 🤯 Thank you Larry.
I started to watch 3 days ago until my wife said we had to leave, darn it. Coming back to watch, uninterrupted, was a given. The content of this video is fantastic and will be watched again and again. Thanks, again, Larry and Kevin.
Larry, you need to be selling this.. this is some high quality training. I tried my first polish today on my black car, and it went horribly. Looks terrible. I wish i had found your videos before i tried it. Going to have to get back put to the garage this weekend and give it a second go. I have binge watched all of these videos tonight. Thanks for posting these. Super helpful
I ran a detailing shop for about 5 years doing New Car Dealership work, Used car restorations everyday cleans and Zymol products and when I see your videos I feel like such a hack. You are a master sir. Great to see such pride in what you do. All the best from Brisbane, Australia Daniel
I’ve just watched the intro Larry and feel compelled to say don’t ever feel conscious about the length of your videos because anyone complaining about the amount of content or length of videos isn’t part of your target audience. I say bring it on because any detailing “nerds” out there will drink this valuable information up and we thank you immensely for taking the time to present it!
I appreciate all the instruction for me as a beginner doing bondo, sanding, primer, paint and 2k clearcoat I have made mistakes and now am learning alot from your videos to help me repair some of my mistakes trial by fire but I like the challenge.
I am a HUGE DIYer. I remember buying a Makita Rotary with some microfiber honeycomb pads and M105 and M205 to try and get into buffing. Although results weren’t bad, I stopped since I know there is so much technical information involved in paint correction. This video proved my point haha. Thank you for putting this information out there! It is awesome for us DIYers to get the proper information online and learning things the right way the first time. Can’t wait to try out your products and start buffing again!
Augusta wash & Polish here from Australia, I started up on my own 1 year ago, in a small town. I wish I'd found this Chanel before but hey i found you now. Thankyou for going the extra mile, and giving all of us these gold nuggets of info.
Ended up on your videos while I was searching how to repair the heavy oxidation on my car paint without having to get the car repainted. The information on the videos you have created have given me the confidence to attempt to correct the oxidation myself and polish/wax the car myself. Thank you for the invaluable information, keep up the great work. I'll definitely look into the AMMO products before others. Now down the rabbit hole I go. LOL.
Larry & Kevin just another great series. Wow you covered miles of information in a short period. Safe to say “work clean and heat is your enemy with polishing paint”.
Just finished watching the whole 200series It is a ton of information. Very useful information. Thank you for what you do. You inspired me to learn to polish my car and not be afraid of doing it. Thank you both for these series
The longer the better Larry i have gotten so much great info from you that helps me in my detailing business ,your a asset to us all and i'm so great full for what you do.when i called Meguiars in Califorina to ask them some questions i told them i watch you and thats why i use there m105 and m205 they said your a class act and the best to learn from and i agree. Meguiars said the mark of a great detailer is one that does not bash other brands products as so many of these so called you tube detailers do.im glad you dont do that and probably why so many people love and appreciate you for all you have done for us. Thank you from Raymond in CT
I'm appreciative for these kind of videos. I'm not a pro but I decided to tackle my 2 Audis myself. The S6 is black and it was a pain to get it down, must have "hard" paint. Videos like this really helped me turn out a mirror finish and apply a ceramic coat. Many thanks!
@AMMO NYC - Only just discovered this RU-vid guide during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020 and all I can say is WOW! Larry, You and Kevin deserve a medal for managing to put this content into such a detailed and informative video! Being fairly new-ish to detailing, this has really opened my eyes to the depth and variables associated with world class detailing! There was so much to absorb, but yet I enjoyed it so much that the length of the video didn’t bother me in the slightest. I could listen to you and Kevin’s experience and wisdom all day! Thank you for your contributions to our community.
AMMO NYC - No, Thank you Larry! The work and dedication you share with us via RU-vid is far more precious to us ‘inspiring Detailers’ than you realise mate. People like Yourself and Kevin are heroically inspiring many devoted car enthusiasts to learn/master the art of your craft. I love that just when you think you understand all the concepts and have heard it all before, people like you and Kevin suddenly post up an ‘Academy’ video that re-writes some of the things you thought you knew and helps us take our skillset to another level. Never apologise for the length of your tutorials and videos Larry, I know it plays on your mind... But for many of us, we’re grateful for every second of your time and experience. Saving the automotive world, one car at a time!
I would honestly sit through hours of video. I mean I just watched the 100 series and now I'm on the 200 series non stop since this morning. Love the content.
Bringing science and common sense to the world of detailing. Thank you. I'm changing how I think of pads and liquid. Keep talking. Not wasting anyone's time.
Larry, there are many youtubers who render their videos unwatchable by taking the time to worship the sound of their own voice. You sir are NOT one of them, take all the time you need.
Larry, Love the video's, ordered and received my supplies in two days. Now to get my truck in shape. Thank you for doing these tutorials, great information and lessons. Stay safe brother.
No no no no no no no no, it is a privilege for us to be able to have access to these awesome videos. For the first time I am going to give my 19 year old E39 BMW a full detail myself and thanks to your informational videos (feels like PhD material) I am motivated enough to do it myself. Scared? heck yeah! but I have your videos to go back to for reference. You should ask The Discovery Channel for your own show.
This was a great video and I appreciated the longer run time. I think if you are really interested in this, you'll watch it all the way through. For entertainment value, shorter videos are better. For learning, longer videos are just fine. The terms and demonstrations help me make choices on pad/compound combinations and you didn't try and say what was better or worse, you just explained the making of pads and the engineering of liquids. Love it!
Thanks Larry! Please don't ever think that you are going too far with the information that you provide to your viewers, I live in Canada and I know you are up north as well; the spring is coming and I will be purchasing some of your products for my C5 Z06 this coming 2019 season.
This vid was great understanding how both pads and liquids work together to get the best results for each vehicle. I do detailing as a hobby when my health problems let me. It made me think that I was using the micro pad and foam the same when I shouldn't be treating them the same thxs for the info alot
Just subscribed, just started watching your videos and the ones with Kevin Brown.Ive yet to do any type of detailing but have accumulated the things needed to start my first car.You sir are teaching this old dog(60 yo)some new tricks so THANK YOU and Kevin Brown for all you two do.
I am glad the video was that long as there is a tonne of knowledge that you would never think of. I love all these videos as someone that does it only every now and then buying everything gets super complicated as they all claim to be the best of the best. Thank you so much for all that you do and I look forward to the next video
SMAT - Super Micro Abrasive Technology Larry I love the long form especially when it is as information dense as this. I got think think about things from a new perspective; which is always positive.
Thank you Larry. The amount of effort put into this series is very appreciated by all of us part of this great academy. An absolute eye opener of an episode, thank you for helping us see from the 10,000 foot point of view and share this amazing information. P.S after your intro, the audio volume is low and only plays through the left channel until the 16:10 mark.
The length of the video is not the problem at all stumbled across your videos and thought ahh who's this guy aNother schmuck doing "how tos" i was sadly mis informed you have amazing comtent and to listen in for free to you and kev 2 experts and share your knowledge is a privledge and those who want it will sit and listen for half an hour 1 hour 2 hours 3 hours even you are a craftsman and have a new subscriber my friend.
I don't mind how long the video is! I am grateful to you for sharing and teaching us your magic! :-) Much appreciated and keep up the fantastic work! I've learned alot from your videos over the years!
I change pads at every panel I do to make sure I don’t have to play around all those things that affect the efficiency of the pads. The blue pad you show is becoming softer while using. So you can’t use it for more than 2 panels if so you loose efficiency.
Dude make longer videos. If you made longer ones jam packed with info I feel like it would increase your following tremendously. Some people like to sit and listen to professionals talk about an industry they love. Kind of the same idea with joe rogans podcast or producer grind podcast. There’s something about being able to drive or work or do anything during your day while being submerged in a world we all love which is detailing.
only half way through but wow this is in depth, thanks for the video im new to this (sorry professionals) and this video has saved me some money, i was thinking i need all kinds of stuff for what i need to do but as im not actually correcting paint i dont need half the things. im panting with a midi spray gun, and going to be using a clear coat so all i really need to do is take away scratches and polish, thanks again guys apreciate the video.
watched a ton of your videos and you make me feel like a bum detailing lol. Showed my grandpa your videos your a next level genius on detailing man! amazing jobs!
I know this video is getting old but I'd love to see a telescopic view of a fresh pad and a used one. When you were showing the foam pad I wondered how it would look used.
I tend to over think stuff. Questions 1. Should I use a foam polishing pad but use a liquid compound? Instead of a heavy cutting pad with a liquid compound? 2. I am really facilitated with the new Turtle Wax Graph line up. I need to compounder front bumper and a few pint scuff along with water stains. But I would like to use the new Turtle Wax one and done product as for my polish. Then follow up with the Max as following car later car washes.
Hi Larry, love your Channel I think the video makes the Cut and it will shine. Thank you for so much information and taking the time to help educate people.
Hi Larry, thank you so much for all informative videos. Learning many things from your videos. My question is, generally how many pads should I use for a mid size car. I use Rupes LHR 15 da polisher and their pads. Thanks in advance😊
very informative, im just breaking into this sort of thing, this video is a massive help in selecting proper liquids and pads to use for my project. thanks again!
Hello Larry from up in Ontario. I’ve been SO fascinated with you and your work over so many years. I can t believe I just stumbled on these learning videos now. The audio on course 205 doesn’t work once you are done your intro. Any way you could fix it? Thank you. Jason
Hi There!! Great presentation about the pads and liquids! As always good video! Thanks to you I’ve learned a lot!! Many thanks!! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 Alan Dq Details UK
mind blown again. stop worrying about length of the videos, these are short if the content is this amazing. would actually like them longer. thank you again
Hey Larry no one seems to have brought it up but the links to your regiments like hasn’t been working for a while. It would be nice for it to be updated so we buy the correct stuff! Many thanks Larry!
I need a buffing pad just for aluminium magwheels I'm trying to buff them out to be Chrome please comment back what kind of pad would you use for this application thank you very much
How much and where do I send my check to for this EXTREMELY thorough, extensive and incredibly educational video? Or, did I sneak into a University and not get charged? THANK YOU!
