Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2013
- This is a quick video about how to clean your glass during a detailing session. (specifically the windshield) It all depends on how "dirty" the glass is...but use as many or as little of these steps that work for your situation. (you most likely wont always need ALL of these steps, but I wanted to show you a bunch in one video)

I just read some of the comments. I can't believe how negative some people are. You did a great job on this video and I learned a couple of things. Thank you and the best of luck with your business.
I totally agree!! I, too, learned a few things, especially about spraying directly on the instrument panel, which is something I used to do. I say used to because I won't be doing that again! Nice video, in my opinion.
I wish I had a car like that... boy is it nice.
I call them sad people who are trapped in a culture they do not understand - and sadly probably never will.

It cracks me up that people are dogging him for his detailing practices. As soon as you guys start posting videos that get 100k plus views, are invited to some of the top detailing conventions (to teach classes nonetheless), are trusted with a 2 million dollar Ferrari's paint, and own your own product line, then maybe, just maybe, can you whine from your computers at home about how you would do a better job.
I understand that some of them may be detailers themselves but at the same time, I can imagine the armchair critics (who got their out of date information from their father or grandfather) saying "No, ha ha."
I can do a better job! Lol jk. I agree with you. No matter if someone tries to share tips and tricks, someone has to complain for no reason 👍
Garrett Guedry well stated
I haven't seen anything that I thought would cause damage to the car which he hasn't discussed. I think it's fair to say he's going overboard, but you can do whatever you want with your own car...
Yes sir. He works on cars I’ll never drive. Some I couldn’t ever think about owning.
Larry is by far the most comprehensive, “detailed” 😏 teacher of the detailing trade. Yes we all know how to “detail cars” but when it’s explained in such depth, we can all understand exactly what are the best methods (AND WHY)! This applies to all things detailing. I’m such a fan. To those who think you can do it better: great! perhaps share your ways and NOT spread negativity. Thank you Larry and AMMO NYC
:)
Larry I think your the most proper professional detailer on UA-cam to date. I follow all of your advice on my 99 Saab 9-5 and it looks great, lots of people give compliments on my car. All thanks to you and your awesome vids. keep up the good work!
I like how he teaches in terms newbies to experts can understand in the same video. He is the guy everyone liked in High School.
as always killing it man! rewatching this 7 years later and procedure still works flawlessly
Just rewatched this... didn’t realize that 7 years had passed already. Wow
Time flyes
8 years 😎
Yeah, I can't believe it 😔
we are getting old 🙈😅
9 years 🫡
Hey bud...I use the razor first too get the heavy junk off and to spare the clay from filling up fast. Razor cost next to nothing and clay is annoyingly expensive. You can absolutely just use the clay but the razor does most of the heavy lifting for me. Thanks for watching! -L
I would definitely use a new, good blade each time.
When I thought you couldn't be any crazier about properly detailing a car, the glass video is released! Super work LK, as always.
Thank you so much. It's so awesome to know there's at least someone else out there who has such a sense of perfectionism about car cleaning. Your tips have really helped to push my car cleaning regimen to where I can be satisfied. I honestly can't thank you enough for making these videos.
Great to see someone so passionate about their job. How many of you out there feel the same about what you do ? Maybe the "negatives" should reassess their own circumstance before they comment.
Listen up boys and girls . . . Larry here of Ammo NYC is one of the best detailers in the U.S. He has lots of other videos and they are highly informative and entertaining and worth a close listen if you are into car care. I've had the pleasure of attending one of the best detailing schools in America and I can tell you that he really is a credit to the detailing industry. If I'm not mistaken, he also starting up a detailing academy of his own. I'd love to attend THAT one too one day!
Hello Larry,I'm from canada.I am an automotive painter by trade,but next spring I'm going solo by opening my own detailing shop.I was detailer before I became a painter,so I guess I'm going back to my roots.I'll probably be using some of your products but most definitely I'll be using a lot of your principles.Thanks a lot eh.p.s.for all the people posting negative post,just don't watch his videos,problem solved.
Great work, Larry! I appreciate your detail (no pun) and your OCD approach.
Valuable info!
You are an awesome instructor, Larry. Thank you for explaining, not only the products you are using, but how to use them.
Dude is an amazing teacher. Learned a lot. Very lucky to have people like him create content.
A pure demonstration of the positive uses of a technician's OCD complex, brilliant!
A brilliant video lesson as always, so thank you Larry for taking the time to shoot, edit, and upload this for everyone.
I have a 1974 Bentley T1, so could you please do a tutorial sometime for detailing classic cars, ie paint rejuvenation, leather interiors that have old scuffs, and chrome bumpers. I hope you could do this, as I am sure there are other classic owners who would love your guidance. Best wishes from England, Emma :-)
Quick-Glo works a treat on older chrome bumpers
Love watching these videos ! I don't detail professionally but i watch these videos to keep my car looking purdy ! And these tips and tricks have made a huge difference from my way of doing it ! Thanks :)
Best "how to" on every aspect of car detaling. Leaves you with few, if any, questions. Larry the Legend.
secrets from one of the best. Thank you for this.
These products are great, both the rain-repellent and the anti-fog; I've tested them on my helmet visor (it's my latest vid) - the rain repellent worked well, I could see a noticeable improvement in the size of the water droplets and the way they bead, but the anti-fog was spot-on, no fogging whatsoever.
I didn't catch him applying the anti fog. Is that in a different video? Asking because were heading into the winter season. tia
Man you have blunt humour that I just love, makes me crack up love watching your videos 😂😂
I love every single one of your video....specially when I found out I was doing the same thing you show here for years...make me feel good about myself...
Best video I've ever seen on how to clean a windshield! Fantastic job! I love the razor blade idea. If you're good with your hands and hold the right angle there shouldn't be a problem with scratching the glass! I've been using a razor blade to clean glass windows for over 45 years and never hurt the glass. Keep up the excellent work!
R u kidding me! It scratches the film. Lol. Don't do it
cgminds M I only use the razor on glass not the film. I'm a professional photographer I have lens that cost over $20,000. I know how to take care of glass. Never used a razor on film! I don't have film on the outside of any of my cars. I do have film on a few of my vehicles on the inside but I don't use the razor on the inside. If you're a craftsman and you have experience you won't have a problem using a razor. I was a Master Craftsman at PBS for years building everything from glass boxes to neon sculptures.
Errol Dillon I use close up glasses to see the glass in great detail. Also the angle of the razor has to be kept at a very low angle when cleaning. Also being extremely careful is the key. I'm always doing it slow & softly. Haste makes waste. I'll grant you that most people who aren't skilled with their hands might leave the razor in the box. Experience users are the ones to try this. Thanks for trying to help. I've been doing the glass with a razor for over 45 years! Not one problem! YET!
Errol Dillon no no no! I mean all cars have a layer of plastic film on the outside. Lamination. U use a blade and guarantee you will create very fine scratches. Not worth it. I've done it and learned. There paste that cleans and removed what a blade removes. Much safe. Wait till you drive a car that someone run a blade on it, wait till sun set and the right angle, u will agree
Ask any pro car windshield guy about it. He will agree with me 100%. On regular class you can use a blade all you want. But not a car windshield. Duhhhhhhhh
Try to remember to do the rear-view mirror when doing the interior glass too, it's the part I always manage to forget.
How about the sun shade mirrors?
@@Johnadude3 lmaoo
I learnt loads from this video. Thank you for taking the time to produce this. Also you ammo shirts are so awesome
Amazing technics and now I know what to do next...thanks to you. I knew how to use towels and some parts of cleaning but I have learn a lot from this video. Great video
For the inside window I have seen a micro fiber on a handle that pivots which follows the contour of the window. Work great..

I'm not loyal to Rain-X...just happen to have some lying around. I'm sure those others work great too. Doesn't really matter (to me) which hydrophobic product you use....they all are pretty effective. Thx for watching!
You have by far the best detailing videos on youtube.. extremely detailed compared to other videos I have seen!!! which is great!!
Your great man, I really enjoy your videos especially since I'm detail oriented in my work also and people say I'm so picky and such but hey let's compare work... night and day difference. Keep on making these great videos, watched this video particularly a few times over the last couple of years.
THIS IS STRANGE, BUT YOUR VOICE HELPS ME GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
Stoner Inc. or Invisible Glass is made about 40 minutes from my house, near Quarryville, PA . I actually did a factory tour in 8th grade for career shadowing (electrical engineer) and their facility was really clean and nicely laid out. I know they were in the process of adding more automation stuff so I'm sure it is cooler than when I visited there. I think it would be a neat video to do a factory tour and maybe Stoner would do that. I'm not to sure how far away you are from Pennsylvania though.
Fantastic detailed instructions. I am really glad that I found your channel.
One observation is that I saw a couple of times your jacket has metal peaces for the zippers and almost touching the paint.
Always happy to watch your videos.
Thanks for the tips. For years I've been experimenting with different products with very limited results. There's nothing quite like having perfect glass. I have one of the Porter Cable buffers that I use on my paint, never thought to use it with a thinner pad for glass. You look and like a true pro or you're just really into it. Thanks again.
Steel wool is good for water spots (can be good if the spots arent too deep) Razor blade is a bit safer, but not as effective (on water spots) as #0000 steel wool
Love the steel wool trick to clean the windshield. Surprised he uses the razor blade instead of the steel wool.
TEXAS TOYZ I’ve tried steel wool and I sratched my glass. Lots of swirls. I used #0000
TEXAS TOYZ I used polish with steel wool
Thanks Larry.
What's your take on the steel wool (0000) debate?
Its fastest and most effective. Removes all contaminants. I work at body shop. After getting painted the cars always have over spray on them so steel wool is what's used to clean.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skillset for others to learn. I'm new to the detailing world and find your videos to be a tremendous resource for learning. Thank you again.
I have watched several of your videos and you give straightforward advise on doing a great job regardless of what you are doing. A Big thumbs up for sharing your experience as a detail technician.
Windows as well
What lmao
I think using Carnuba hand wax as the final finish is much better than Rain X. It leaves my windows crystal clear, it sheds water I think better than Rain X, and the windows cleans better during routine cleaning. I use regular Windex, a scotch pad, final cleaning with Windex and a microfiber cloth, then add the wax. All I can say I've never had cleaner crystal clear windows like this before.
BennyCFD I use JetSeal
Excellent video, professional, classy and very good information, thank you very much !! Nothing like learning from a skilled and experienced teacher.
Thanks for sharing the videos brother. All of your advice has helped tremendously. Hope you keep making more!
Very good procedure, best i've seen. Im sure that glass looks just like new when you finish. However.. you're giving some of us a heart attack by leaving the razor blade tool on the car ;).
As far as it goes, a great clip - If you want to get the stuck-on crud off the windshield - instead of using a razor on a stick on the windshield, try using 0000 grade steel wool with the invisible glass as a lubricant. Easier and safer and produces great results.
Alan Steadman the problem with steel wool is you run the risk of the steel wool contacting and contaminating your paint.
I run a tempering and laminating glass fabrication plant and we used 0000 steel wool to lift ANY debris from the surface. Just please us fresh wool. We don’t lubricate but guess that wouldn’t hurt.
love your channel, keep up the good work man!
Larry
Another great video man. I truly appreciate your work. God's speed man!!
I love your jacket but have to ask...how do you not scratch the cars with the Zips and fasteners?
tammie perrett that’s the first thing I noticed
Electrical tape
Can I just say one thing, where the Rain sensor is for the auto wipers I found in my car applying the hydrophobic layer makes the rain sensor think its raining heavier than it really is. I tend to do all my windscreen then leave that small area. Just something I noticed on my car and though I would share.
I agree, good thing to point out.
thanks Larry for the patience to
share your tips! appreciate it man
I don't know how I've lived all these years without this information. Life changing for sure.
Hi Larry, Thanks for another great video. It is much safer to use very very fine wire wool and glass polish, (used to use this on new cars to get delivery wax and crud off). You only need to slip once with a blade, and oops ££££ for a new seal :-o
Just note on using wire wool, it has to be ( Grade 0000), nothing rougher!! Not even grade 0. The difference between grade 0000 and grade 0 is twice ( x 2 ) the micron size.
notice how this guy holds his left arm in the air, instinctively, when he wipes off the windshield. on expensive cars, you dont want to put your hand on the paint of the hood!! hehe
Great video. I have a 2002 Honda Accord, and have owned about a dozen or so vehicles. Sometimes Windex and newsprint works awesome. However, my 2002 Accord, is being a pain to get "Crystal" clear. This video has opened my eyes to how to get your windshield spotless. Also, the passenger side approach to inside windshield cleaning is the way to go. Fighting with the steering wheel is a pain. Thanks for the tips Bro.
Your methods make sense and jive with what I would do as well. I’m a female & agree that I find Windows the most difficult to clean without leaving streaks. Keeping your cloth flat and folded is a good tip. I often need to clean my windows mid-week between washes. They can be fairly dirty depending on wind and other factors, so a few spurts of cleaner is not enough to thoroughly clean. Yet my car is newish, so I’m not ready for the clay yet.
“After all that, the glass is gonna look like......
The glass” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
this dude knows his stuff
i know this as being one of the worlds fussiest men with his cars
Thanks Larry. As always appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Amazing attention to detail! Well done!
Feel sorry for you Larry reading some of these comments, there are some 'special' people on youtube..

This guy legit looks like Linus from Tech Tips
linus chad tips
the linus tech tips of cars
kinda sounds similar too
sorry, i don't see the resemblance.
I been saying that as soon as I found him
Great tips Larry! Thank you for sharing the information.
To be honest, this helped me a lot in many ways. Very helpful and to the point. Cheers
What if you use newspaper and windshield cleaner? I did that once and the windshield came out extremely clean.
+tavi921 I use Invisible Glass with newspaper that is about two weeks old. I don't know why but if the newspaper is around that old, it works better than a 2-day-old newspaper. Must be the kind of paper they use.
NEWSPAPER=SQUEAKY CLEAN, been using it for 50yrs
@@arthurschliep679 it produces streaks
I never believed people, but newspaper works the best on cleaning the interior glass. The ink in the newsprint acts to grab the residues on the glass and leaves it squeaky clean. I tried a million microfiber cloths and none work as good as newspaper.
Yeah, black & white (not colour) newspaper is the best! Just change to a new piece of newspaper before it leaves a trail of lint. The only down side is it will make your hand black from the ink so wear a disposal glove or wash your hands.
With the thick microfiber cloths I've found it leaves fine dust on the glass.
OFoxHldgs Correct. Printers ink contains graphite, very effective as a polishing agent. Been using newsprint forever to clean glass.
If you think newspaper works great, try invisible glass seriously. I'm doing maybe 8 or 9 details a week and Im getting all 17 glass surfaces done averaging about 15 minutes a car for glass. Invisible glass and microfiber
i rarely comment on a video but when i do it means that it's something extremely good i love your work i don't know about the others but according to me you are the best detailer in the world.
I have benefited a lot from you .. Thank you Larry
you best in the world.
The best stuff for sealing your windows is carnauba wax.
I realise now, I have never "cleaned" my windows...
thanks
I've been waiting for this video for a long long time!! Thanks Larry!!
Larry your videos are great.I learn something new with each one.
Keep up the fantastic work.
7:25 Flicks rain-x onto paint and SKIN on fender.
Saw that too! :o
lol, sharp eye...
You are a pro, but why have a jacket on with zip fasteners that could scratch the paintwork?
North face jackets normally have a flap to hide the main zip and zipper. But not on the heart pocket pocket.
This is awesome. I really enjoy watching your videos, so thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Marvellous and learned so very much from you! Best instructional video ever! Thanks!
Could you use steel wool instead of the razor blade
Having that razor sitting on the rags on the hood makes me a bit nervous
I think it actually touched the paint at 6:39 ;)
Two rags thick, you can tell the handle is raised off the surface. I'd have still sat my materials elsewhere though. First detail shop I every worked at, the boss got me in the habit of Never siting anything on customer cars. It's poor form in my opinion. Just like him always hanging bottles on front pockets. Wearing belts with exposed buckles, and jackets with un-shielded zippers if your working when its colder.
I hope the zipper pulls on that jacket are rubberized or soft plastic! 😱
That’s why you aren’t epic like Larry who owns his own business and details million dollar cars.
and what about the zipper on his jacket against the fender?
Great stuff as always Larry. After all these glass videos I was wondering if you could possibly make a video about cleaning neglected moon roof glass, cheers!
Your the best! Just bought a 3 yr old Lexus and I want to really Baby it. I'm excited about both the great products AND advice. Thanks again!
Haha, Your so good at this but what amuses me is that you do so much work on a fancy gently but i do all this on my 15 year old shit box, lmfao.
GhettoMist Larry started out on a Fox Body Mustang if memory serves
Ghettomist, that's good man keep that car mint!
I doubt all you haters have half the knowledge of larry, he knows exactly what he's doing because he has been doing it for so long, watch his video on million dollar cars, doubt any of the haters would have the balls to touch any of them, let alone this bentley.
So true. Being a hater is one thing, being an ignorant hater is another level of dumb.
Oldie but goodie! These videos take me back
Now that is dedication, so many steps used in just cleaning a window. I am sure I won't be using all of those, but some very good tips to use. Thanks.
7:25 YOU GOT RAIN X ON THE PAINT
whooooo cares
Dreamst8r me i care
@@andypham7796 its a jason genova quote
Dreamst8r it’s sick n pissing
@@Dreamst8r just needs mopped
This aint 2k
Thank you for all your advice. Very helpful.
And to be fair, This is why we love him ;)
So much info and detail
did anyone notice him accidentally drip rain-x on the cars paint at 7:25? lol
I caught that too. Yikes!
+Zachary Freese Now I did lol
+wrx86 I saw it too, I also noticed the razor blade tool on the hood that could of scratched the paint if the wind blew hard. If that was my car I would be pissed.
It's Larry, not like he couldn't fix it immediately
He does have the layer of Skin on there that he'll take off after. Perhaps this is why.
please tell me how i've come in from the pub and ended up watching this?
Always a pleasure watching Larry's Vid's!!
such an awesome video, thanks so much man, really appreciate you making these!!
To hell with Rain-X. I just use regular car wax, it lasts 10x longer.
am I the only one trying to grab that razor blade away from the car? lol
Been watching a few of your vids the last couple hours.
You are the real deal my friend. Awesome job, keep the tips and vids coming :)
I loved your videos they are very informative and helpful. I applied your methods to clean my dream car, 1987 Black on Black Buick Grand National. Thank you so much for posting your videos.
I cant wait to get the clay bar to use it on my car's body/exterior paint. Once again, thank you so much.
7:27 He squirted the rain x on the paint...lol
7:26 yeah we saw you spill 2 drops of rainex on the wing 😏
Very informative and easy to follow Larry, Thank You
I watched 1 video and subscribed. This guy is awesome at giving instruction.
