Larry I remember a couple years ago there were others criticizing you for only detailing high end cars, claiming it was too easy. I'm glad you're taking on these kind of cars to prove them wrong.
@prcdnvl28 dude nobody cares that you have a "fully loaded luxury car". Get over yourself. Literally, most cars in normal conditions are the same to detail.
Thanks for sharing this information with us. You are a great source of knowledge and the fact that you are willing to share it for free speaks volumes about your character. You probably don't remember but I sent you an email a couple of years ago about whether or not to repaint my car. You asked me to call. I did and to my astonishment you answered the phone yourself. We spoke for about 15 minutes and you gave me some very good information. I ended up selling the car. But I have retold the story about you helping me many times, each time expressing my gratitude. Thanks again ‼️ Keep up the good work 👍✌️
Wow amazing! U are such an inspiration, after we met at Detailers Domain in 2016, i quit my job a year later, moved to Switzerland and started a Detailing business here in Zürich.. Greetings from Switzerland! Alex
Agreed, a Ammo NYC motorcycle detail would be great! A sportbike detail is also on my wishlist, focusing on paint restoration of plastic fairings, metal parts, etc.
@@reggiegully1363 I don't think it was abandoned because it got this bad, I think it is the other way around. I don't know why you would abandon a fairly new high end car in the first place unless the owner died.
@@givemefreespeechyoutubehitlers my comment was a clear dramatization of how horribly that car was maintained. It's your decision to see it in a negative light.
When you watch this and think " oh man, that looks like fun!" That's when you know you have the heart of a detailer. That project looked incredibly satisfying, especially knowing it's for charity. Thanks Larry! Awesome! 👍👌✌
I guess some poor folks buy these expensive foreign lawn ornaments, not knowing how expensive maintenance and repairs are after the warranty expires. These things break down, and the owner can’t afford to fix the damn thing, because the car parts are so damn expensive; so the car is basically left to Mother Nature to take over.
I remember when these were new. They were such nice cars. Hard to imagine a 2020 5 series looking like this in 15 years... but there probably will be some!
Your videos are really great. Whilst I am not a professional detailer, I employ as many of your techniques as I can when cleaning my own car(s) and I always get comments about how great they look.
You truly created and continue to create the absolutely best detailing channel. You’re awesome, I have learned a ton over the years watching your channel. The products are the best also.
I don't even vacuum out my car and here i am subscribed to the best car detailer in the world for some reason. Love this stuff. but definitely can't be bothered to do it myself.
Larry... if you were doing this for a customer car would you have a concern for the vents, headliner and foam inside the seats still containing some mold?
@@AMMO-NYC Would the gas have killed whatever was in the vents or would you need to actually take the HVAC system out or replace it? Also what would be the process for cleaning the headliner? You could just replace the seats because they probably do still have mole inside and could get them cheap.
Hey @AMMO NYC, STILL love your work brother. You probably don't remember me since it's been a LONG time since we talked, but this is Adam from O.C.Detailing. I was based in Lynchburg, VA and now live down in Land O' Lakes, FL and haven't worked on any cars in quite a while, but I'm still watching man. LOVE IT!
Using a small polisher to clean headliners... what a great detailing tip! Kudos to Larry, Jason Rose and the other crew in turning this" sows ear into a imitation silk purse" to allow it to be sold at auction.
If you’re concerned about to panel/trim clips breaking during future details, you can order kits off Amazon with different assortments of sizes for $15-$20. Kits typically are made for one specific manufacturer. You could keep one for each of the common manufacturers on hand in the shop.
Finally you listened to me and removed the interior trim for a real cleaning . Good advice : cover your ears with earplugs so the germs and gases doesn't take it's way in your ears because there is a canal between the ears and throat so actually you may breath by your ears so be careful .
I can easily relate to this. I work at a scrapyard, and only deal with the automotive recycling side of it. You have to go in the cars sometimes to pull stuff out that can't be shredded or crushed for safety and environmental reasons. It gets really disgusting sometimes. Even this bad. Which is why you refuse to go in those kind of cars.
Those interior switches make me homesick in a sense for my old e36. Loved that car- spent way too many warm days detailing it, though nothing that would make Larry take notice, I'm sure.
Yah how does this work legally? The car was totaled as a biohazard, and those hazards still exist. The unsuspecting buyer of, say, the back seat would get a massive chunk of foam and upholstery full of nasty.
Wow dude, what a massive undertaking! This is truly amazing the amount of work that went into this. The owner of this car should be ashamed of themselves as a human being. Really this car should have been firebombed, but it was great seeing what can be done to a fully destroyed vehicle. Great job as always Larry!
When Larry says "by FAR the worst car I've ever done in my career", you know it's going to be disgusting... Edit: can strongly suggest Kwazar spray bottles, they'll save your hands/
With that much mouse activity, it's about a 99% chance enough wiring was chewed through to make the car not start. But I'll admit, out of morbid curiosity, I would've liked to have seen that too.
I was eating lunch while watching this video and I pride myself for having a pretty strong stomach in regards to things like this but I can't lie, I needed to look away in some parts *gag*
Hi guys! To be honest... I really appreciate your work, how much patient you must have! Sometimes I don't understand the human beens... How you can let a car to have such kind of state??? 😢😢😢It is just... Unbelievable 😩
Ozone has no effect on bacteria, mold or VOC... It's effect on odours are also questionable, as it mainly "masks" the smells so you smell ozone in stead. Also: Ozone is toxic... The generators are also not maintenance free as often being claimed.
Damn I would love to get my Car detailed from larry... but to get my old ass Skoda from Germany to the USA for a detail would be a bit overkill I assume. xD
Just looking at this just right know makes me want to explode 🤯 how does a car get in bad shape like this I’m glad you guys are cleaning it you guys are good at this
America. It was parked inside Trump Tower when America first became the nation‘s new religion. No Nazi German cars allowed (Trump hates Germany and Germans with a vengeance), so a real ‚Merican built Jeep or Chevy was the vehicle of choice. Now that Trump is gone, the car was allowed back on the streets again, and it does resemble the Trump presidency in some way.
I start to worry when I leave a McDonalds coke cup in the car for more than 1 hour. I cannot understand how someone can let their car get THIS bad. This is sensory overload anxiety hell.
You guys all did great work! Very interesting to see a DA polisher used for the headliner and I think I will give that a shot one day. Super awesome video and it made my night.
That car is not restored. Sure, it’s cleaned, but the areas they didn’t touch are likely just as disgusting as everywhere else, so this would need a complete disassembly. Not to mention all the wires that could’ve been chewed and all the decay of sitting for a long time, so I get why this was totalled
Edit: Larry's friend around 16:50 sounds like Edward Norton mate...wow 12:27 decades?!? How old is the car Larry 😜 just playing man. Just taking the piss. Love your videos brother as always!
Years ago I was looking for a newer car. I found a cobalt but it had this twingy mold smell to it. Car fax said it was flooded. But this car is beyond anything I've seen before.
Water leaks are from the door vapor barriers. Those foam panels inside the doors. Once they come loose they drip water into the carpets. Pretty common on bmws
Wow i realy like the restorers..what a differens, been doing it My self in my younger days..alway s loved the result.. and Good money when i sold ... Always peyed off!..

@prcdnvl28 just passing by , but you are in fact a dude. It is an all inclusive term
I would think that detailing high end cars would be as challenging, seeing as though if you messed up, even a little, that is big bucks to fix it.
Well it is still a high end car, only that is superneglected
Even the mice abandoned this car...
You've certainly given me a new perspective since I subscribed.
@@ms.pirate Lol
I understand we should not be judgemental about the owner who would allow this to happen to a car. I'm being very judgemental right now.
i cant understand eighter
Just imagining to own a car and let it come to this state makes me wanna unalive myself. I wouldn't know how to anyway
@Ching Chong you saw, that they took the whole car apart and cleaned it?
It could be as simple as someone passing away. While the estate is being settled, the car is taken over by vermin.
That’s disgusting.
