I’m absolutely obsessed with watching these videos or detailing videos in general. Love spending hours cleaning and detailing my own car, thank you Larry for showing the tips and techniques you use! 😊
This is therapeutic to me. Not to mention the knowledge from a chill guy! Thanks Larry, for the time, effort and passion you put in. It's awesome and does not go unnoticed!
Never seen a guy on youtube as genuine and informative as this guy! Its funny cause you show your products but dont come off like a snake oil salesman. Larry, youre 5 steps ahead of the game bro! Ill gladly pay a few for dollars to support a fellow east coast brother! Cheers pal.
Larry i’m following you for 2-3 years now, and ever since i never missed a episode. Because of u i just want to be a detailer to, i already started with wrapping cars but i want my own bussines in car detailing and wrapping. It would be awesome to meet you in person and get a full class on detailing from begin to end. Your video’s explaining allot but things like this are awesome to learn 1 on 1!! Keep up the good work, soon my “new” garage is hopefully a beginning to the detaling level you are! With the Ammo kit ofcourse.
Thank you for being as detailed as you make your videos. Most youtubers don’t show the exact detail making it 10 times harder when I’m doing it in person comparing it to a video.
"I whish I had more complicated things to talk about for 20 minutes on camera". That line got me good. I treasure people who take the time to explain things and put their own heart into it.
The passion with which this guy talks about cleaning cars is contagious. Kudos, Sir.
Awesome video as always! I just have to say that I absolutely love the way you explain stuff. Makes it very easy to understand and get the point. 👌
Larry, thank you for another great tutorial! I've always struggled with removing OPR from my car, and knowing this can make me feel at ease about removing it without dreading a full rewax afterwards.
THANK YOU for sharing this! This is one of the reasons I was hesitant to take my car to the track. It's all fun and games until you get molten rubber stuck to your paint and wheels, but with AMMO NYC on my side I have nothing to worry about. Appreciate you, Larry!
These videos are the best. I love to watch then go and detail my own car. I keep watching the video on how to fill paint chips and I'm trying to get up the confidence to do it. I dont wanna mess it up. Keep up the good work I love all the in-depth looks, tricks and tips you go through in your videos. 👊
thx! Get a practice panel to build up your confidence! Thanks for watching
Always love your analogies great vid my man!
Been a fan of your videos for a long time now, thanks man!
That's a nice wagner paint gun lol. Good video, thanks.
This is brilliant! Thanks for yet another super informative video :) I'm driving my BMW 540it from Phoenix to San Francisco next weekend, so I'm going to give it another coating of Skin beforehand to protect it from all the bugs and crap on the road.
Your videos are so relaxing
I asked about track slag removal a few years ago via email. Thanks for finally answering. Now I need to buy more AMMO Skin! Love your videos!
Very glad to come across this video; My first few times washing a car after a trackday was spent aggressively wiping the rubber with the wash mit to get the rubber off... like a fool. Thank you for the important tips!
Once again, Thank You Larry! Quick note. After washing our white Ford F150, dried using Hydrate, I was doing my walk around making sure all was good. Found schmutz and a couple of dots here and there that were not removed during wash. Towel, Finger, 'Hydrate'. Wiped right off. :) No where near Hot Rubber and Bugs but I wanted to share... Being a Drag Racer, we use to put a light mist of Pam Cooking Spray on the rear in an effort for rubber not to stick so bad. :P
Once again, another great video! Keep it up 👌🏼
Great video as usual
Great video. Another proof that your product is the greatest out there. You should be proud
This was great!! Thanks Larry!
Great video!!!
Hi Larry, thank you very much for another Great Video
Thank you for another great video.
Great video!!like always!
This videos show how he gets great results in detailing cars by the way he breaks down problems to find the best solution.
awesome video, never thought to use a sealant to take off the heavy rubber marks. especially on a white car. another great video. keep it up.
This trick is amazing I used it to remove big yellow tree sap off my white paint and it worked, no heat needed, thanks Larry
Great tip! That's very impressive
Great content!! Your videos are addictive 😀
thanks
Great tip!
I’m super sick. Vomiting, massive headache, etc. This guys voice is so soothing as I lay here in the bathroom. Odd. But thanks.
Underrated comment
😂😂😂
do one on tree sap
asap
Yes!
Use hand sanitizer
Use a screwdriver
kumbackquatsta if the vehicle it's not in good shape, just use brake cleaner. Comes right off
Great tip as always. Learn something new each video. Have you used the same method for tar spots on a car as tar and glue remover must remove waxes and sealants when used?
Larry, love the videos and the transformation of your 964! I have a question for you. I'm driving my e39 m5 cross country soon and am curious what you would do to protect your car. Also what tools/car care I should bring with me. Would love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks,
Lawrence
Regarding the chemistry of why the Skin works, remember that "like dissolves like." Whatever solvent keeps the skin liquid in the bottle will also soften it to help lift the contaminants. That rule "like dissolves like" helps so much in cleaning anything, best thing I learned from studying chemistry.
This strongly reminds me of show I watched as a kid. One episode the kids got gum in the carpet. A little research and they figured out that they use vegetable oil in modern gum to keep it chewable. A little oil, a little scrubbing, voila!
Dear Larry, what do you think of Gyeon Tar? This works great for tar spots and rubber marks. Imo it is completely safe, but what do you think? Have a great Christmis and thanks for all your videos. They are very satisfying to watch!
Literally just got back from Laguna Seca after a good hour and a half session, thanks for this!
I love what you said at the end..
It's the same principble as using peanut butter to remove chewing gum for hair. The AMMO skin stops the rubber from sticking back to the paint once you displace it.
Sean Donaldson
I think what's probably going on is that particular sealant has oil based solvents that act as rubber softeners to soften the rubber until it is relatively easy to remove. It's like using cooking oil to soften rat glue to release and save a toad accidentally stuck on it.
I love Larry’s analogies😂
Hey Larry! Love your video's they have helped me make a good chunk of change towards my education and i have found a new hobby i am passionate about. My question for you is what sealants have you found to be the best? Aside from ammo skin (which i'll be trying in the near future) ive been using meguiars m21 then topped with a wax, and have been quite pleased with it as i find it lasts about 6 months. Are there any others out there that last longer or provide a superior shine?
Excellent!
That's great! When I AutoX we get "cone Smudge" which is very similar to the track "pebbles". This last time I used carnauba cleaner wax and it pulled it right off.
Thank you for the awesome tips!
My pleasure!
Hey man, awesome channel! I was wondering, how would the results differ if you were to use an orbital buffer rather than doing this by hand?
I would just like to say a sincere thank you, Larry!
thanks for the kind words. thank YOU for watching and supporting AMMO!
Thanks for taking the time to reply! I follow your channel since 2014 and is by far one of the best sources, from my view point, for someone genuinely passionate about detailing. Keep up the fantastic work you’re doing, Larry!
Hey Larry! I’ve been a huge fan of yours since you first started before you were a super star. Ok, now with my hipster glasses off, would you recommend the same procedure for car with a ceramic coat? Speaking of which what are your thoughts on ceramic coats? They’ve exploded in popularity. Would you consider adding it to your line?
Hey bud. thanks for watching. yes you can do the same procedure for ceramic coated cars. Listen to the podcast I posted from SEMA '17 for my opinion on ceramic coatings. thanks!
Awesome! I didn't know I could use brute on my paint. I'll keep that in mind for next time!
leo martinez hai karate! Lol
everyone always asks tyler where did you learn to keep your cars so clean i was always refer them to your videos and your products been watching since your first videos.
I live in South Texas. Could you do a video on washing your car in hot weather. When I wash my car the water and soap dry in just a minute or two.
Fireroadie : He just did a similar video to that in his training course. Go to www.AMMONYC.com to check it out. If possible, get a canopy to work under. Other than that, make sure you use some form of deionized water (Just like distilled water) to keep from spotting. In fact, you don't have to dry it because it leaves no sediments, minerals or residue on vehicle when water evaporates.
Find a tree
Order a canopy for the beach off Amazon and park your car under it
If you can't find shade wash panel by panel
Thanks! Just cleaned up my Camry!
Hey Larry love your videos. I feel like the reason the skin works in this particular case is ONLY because you have the skin on. What's a good way to get rid of bugs, rubber, and road resurfacing residue without abrasion?
Idk if it's really the "chemistry" I think it's more so, the heat changes it's state, and the skin acts as a lubricant for the friction your then apply to it.
It is the chemistry, think of how he didn’t use the heat gun on the Porsche due to the Paint Protection Film. The only thing acting upon the rubber was the sealant or “skin” as he states.
Great video Larry!
What about using a heat gun on ceramic coated paint?
Larry.
I️ used trakktape on my F80 M3 the last time I went to VIR and I️ noticed that it peeled off in the corners. Those corners collected dirt and because these dirty corners flapped at speed they scratched my paint a bit. So - what is the best way to secure this trakktape so it doesn’t peel off in the corners? Thanks!!
I've always used Mother's Racing Rubber Remover, but it looks like this works a lot quicker. I'd love to try your products, have you considered listing them on Amazon?
AMMO, I MUST BUY AMMO PRODUCTS.
Tinchox ammo brand ammo hydrate for ammo paint
William452728373 A lot of these products are a waste of time....the oils in your finger and your fingertip will do the trick most of the time..
Hell yeah good tip there
Awesome tip as always. My guess on the reason it works is that the rubber is stuck to the previous layer of Skin, and the solvent in the Skin softens the layer that the rubber is stuck to and allows it to slide right off.
Degreasers probably work the same way by softening the wax underneath the rubber and not actually affecting the rubber itself
Great view int the comparisons between the two. Make me want to add a clear bra too my trailblazer SS for daily protection
Larry, great video! Do you consider R3 a degreaser? I will try your tip next summer for sure...
I used a clay bar and it worked well on the upper parts of the car. But the side skirts really took a beating, so I have to attack them again, but this time with heat! Thx for the advice :)
Excellent topic Larry. A bazooka is so much more fun than a sniper. ;)
Hey Larry have you done anything on the rubber seals they use around the doors and how to get more life out of them?
Hey Larry, can you use the same method (applying skin on a microfiber cloth) and wiping off stubborn spots and other debris that did not come off after washing your car? Or does this only work on tire debris? I have a coat of Ammo Skin on my vehicle if it matters. Thank you!
Larry,
Any suggestions for road paint removal??
Thanks,
Kevin
Could I use this same method for tree sap removal? I've got a friend with a Mercedes C300 that i'm detailing for him, and would love to make it look better than factory.
Sorry if you have mentioned it in another video, but what are the best shoes to wear? Summer and winter. Yes, I go out in the MI and hand wash :)
Love that M3
Would something like platidip work to protect at the track to? (I think the cans are a bit more expensive, but just to know) and would it affect the protection already on the paint?
Hey Larry. Can you make a vid on how to save a small section of burned thru clear coat? I was thinking about trying to feather in some 2k clear, wetsand, and buff
A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and PB Blaster penetrating oil spray on the eraser work well to remove rubber, tar and bugs, after washing. Also if someone scrapes your paint and leaves some of their paint on yours. See the Sweet Project Cars UA-cam videos for some low budget paint tips, such as using Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish for paint.
I know you’re selling your own Ammo products... But I just got back from a 2 day track event in my F80 and ‘snipered’ off my tire marks with Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover. It all came off ridiculously easy. I do have a clear bra across the whole nose of the car but even the areas with no clear bra cleaned up easily.
Also, you really should have used some Iron/Fallout Remover on the car. After all that braking on track it is all over the sides of the car.
I find that a clay bar with adequate lubrication works well as the clay just sticks to the rubber and pulls it off the paint. is there any risk of damage from doing so, my paint is ceramic coated so not sure if it would be without a coating.
Great video Larry!
I own the same M3 and took it to a track last weekend. Used a similar method but also applied trakktape to the bumper and hood and that helped a ton! (See video in my channel)
Hi. Really enjoying your vids - wish you had an outlet/garage here in UK - i'd work for you in a heartbeat!
Question is, in the non clear vinyl wrap car, why did you need to heat up the black marble (tyre chunk) - when all you used for the vinyl wrapped car was your "Skin" product?
Surely that same methodology would work on normal painted cars no?
Thanks
.
OK, I have to ask, what kinda times you turning on Lightning and Thunderbolt? I used to run at NJMP quite often on my bike(s).....great facility compared to Pocono....lol. Anyhow, just learned of you and your products today, enjoyed watching your Porsche build but more so your detail tips....thanks for sharing, will be watching more vids in the days to come!
Will this work on rubber that's been on the car for a while? Bought a car that had rubber stuck to the area all around the rear tires.
@ammo NYC is there any reason you wouldnt just use something like turtle wax rubbing compound for getting the rubber off etc? I'm sure you have an answer. I'm new to this and learning.
I like you channel but, one thing that I haven't seen you wash is a large truck. I try to apply the same techniques that you use on cars but, I run into a problem with my truck (F250) where I can't reach a lot of the areas without using a brush. What would be your recommendation?
Always used Mothers R3 and it works amazing. I’m pretty sure it’s a degreaser though so I’m gonna try the Skin next time
I've used R3 for years as well, but like this idea better. Wonder if any other sealants can be used to the same effect?
Can you use a heat gun and sealant to help remove bug residue, as well?
thanks mate.
Would you recommend this method for tree sap as well?
Any tips for removing tar from normal roadworks? It's not the few tar droplets here and there, but the fine mist that's almost everywhere, including windscreen AND paint covered bodywork alike.
Hey man this is off topic of the video but I'm about to paint prep a '39 Ford. Atm it has a yellow paint job but with no clear coat. My question is what grit should I use for this job?
Could you do a video about getting asphalt off?
Would you be able to use a steam cleaner instead of a heat gun?
I had that problem a few months ago, Larry. I used a microfiber towel and spray wax. Came out just fine. No damage, except for the towel, which got tons of rubber crammed into the fibers...kkk
Im sure the Ammo Skin ads a layer of lubrication as you do this but I think it the rubber sticking to the microfiber that's key. I tried all sorts of things to remove rubber from my car after several days at the drag strip (softer rubber then road course so may be different) any chemical solution melted it and made a mess, the easiest was similar to this video where the rubber would ball up and get caught in the microfiber strands, unfortunately the cloths had to be thrown out after only one use though.
Try Nitto NT01 next time. Much better than R888. I'm tracking this weekend, so this video is perfect timing!
Is ammo skin a carnauba wax? If so i'm pretty sure carnauba has cleaning properties, which could aid in the rubber removal process
I live in Australia, it's coming to around summer time so it's most days around 95f, at most it's 122f - that's in the shade, put it in direct sunlight and the car heats up higher than that, now, my paint is a medium dark gray, like really gray and that absorbs the heat more, so yes... it can get near boiling point of water just on the surface quite easily.
If you live in a hot climate like AZ, I would suggest you switch to a more heat resistant coating to protect your paintwork as nobody likes the look of a sun bleached roof and hood, especially when you could protect it with just a weekly wash and wax with a paint inspection for deep scratches.
Using AMMO sealant (or liquid wax in general) works because the wax is hydrophobic like the tire rubber is. So the solvent that the wax is dissolved in probably dissolved the tire rubber in the same way. Same reason why I try to avoid getting wax on my tires when I wax my wheels.
WD 40 works pretty well too. I just tape the area off and spray the affected area...thanks for the video Larry.
Thats so crazy how it works!!!!
Ammo do you have video for your jack lifters? I want a set too
