12 Step Detail: Mold Removal and Plasti-Dip Repair for Used Car Sale: Impala SS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- The time has come to sell my beloved Chevrolet Impala SS. This car has been amazing over the last 16 years and I look forward to the next owner enjoying it as much as I have. Recently, my town was hit by a Tornado and it caused major rain, leaves, trees, and sticks to fall, subsequently breaking my portable storage tent. Shortly there after the Impala had a small leak because of the clogged rain channels. This video walks you through all the steps I took to bring life back into the SS after our terrible storm and before it goes up for sale. Hope you enjoy!

He is The LinusTechTips Of Cars!
very true lmao!
If Linus has cleaned and restored a PC I haven't seen it.
Thanks that's why I love this channel as well
Linus does better and more usefull videos then Ammo. Ammo does only want to sell his products
But. . this guy has a personality!
You did an awesome job rejuvenating your Impala SS! We are also glad to hear you're still enjoying the Flowmaster sound all these years later.
Flowmaster Inc sounds amazing :)
Flowmaster Inc Z .. hello
@@AMMO-NYC you guys should sponsor him.
Best wishes from Germany. I enjoy your products as well. 🤙🤙
@Flowmaster Inc
Great to see that there are serious enthusiasts in your company that immerse themselves in the car culture as your customers do!
Us Fox body guys wish you would bring back an updated “improved” full 3” exhaust. Head technology has us making almost 600hp from a very well built 347 and Coyote swaps have just torn open the envelope!
Now back to our regularly scheduled video
Noble thing to say. Sell everything 50times over. The love of a father can’t be measured..
Idk the sweet loving of your mother does me well
"When detailing maybe wasn't so great..." You're an inspiration, man. Your endeavors pay off and everyone should know.
Larry, you are killing it in your last few vids.
Btw Larry, today I'm not killing it, just got all my car detailing equipment stolen in a shipment to Italy... :(
My guy that suck hope they get you what you ordered
Sucks
For me a car, especially one you've had that long, that's been a big part of your life and shared so many memories with you becomes part of the family. I couldn't imagine letting it go. I've had my 2000 Intrepid since 2006 when I bought it as my first car. I love it as much or more now than I did when I bought it. I've gone on road trips with it, met fellow owners who've become friends, joined a club, gone to the Nationals, moved, and learned how to repair and care for it over the years.
Life happens, and you do what you must, but if at all possible I don't plan to ever sell mine. You only have one first car.
Larry, right on target my friend! As car/detailer fanatics, we love our automobiles, and its hard to part with them. Lord knows, I've let a couple go that I wish I had kept, but life moves on and we find new rides to enjoy. As fathers, we will do anything for our families, and that includes lettings the toys go if the need arises. That said...shed a tear or two when she leaves for the last time, but take some solace in the fact that more than likely another young man or woman will start their own path of car ownership, and build their own memories with your Impala...We are caretakers for these wonderful things we call automobiles, and it sounds like the time is right to pass the torch on this one.
Thank you Guys, love too my trusty steed, a 97 Toyota 4Runner, it’s been with me for the last 21 years riding with me in all kind of weather, all around the USA, it has 221000 miles, running just great!!!! Thank you again man good job!
I still drive my 94 Integra GSR I bought in 2001 and have put over 270,000 miles on it. I vow to teach my now 8 year old son to drive stick with it, sometime around 2025 haha. Car has 365,000 miles and still runs great!
Patrick94GSR still driving my 00 Si my uncle passed down to me lol 200k Miles last week
Patrick94GSR oh man keep that as long as you can! My dad had a 92 GSR in Milano red he bought from an older gentleman completely stock and always garaged. I drove it one day and fell in love with it. I figured he would keep it for a while.
Fast forward a few months later, I found out my dad sold it! My heart sank. I had every intention to buy it from him or by luck, simply give it to me. Man, I wish I communicated that to him I want to have it. The thought of the new owner abusing the car and ricing it out just saddens me more.
Never hesitate to teach a kid to drive a stick. Just...cuz.
wew
@@rebeccacarraway480 couldn't agree more 👍
I understand your attachment to your Impala. I’ve owned my Tundra for 13 years and have so many memories in it that selling her would break my heart.
"We are going to Shag the carpets", lol. Shag means something different here in the UK.
Yeah, baby *gives an Austin Powers wink*
No shit xD
Did you see the Kim Jong Un impersonator on This Morning. He said that he was trying to get a shag because he looked like a “celebrity”😂
Yeah but that would be a bit uncomfortable on the meat and two veg, Mate! Carpet burn for days! LOL
I would never shag a bloak
Your speech about the glove box and center console may have been excessive to anyone who hasn't had the aggravating conversation that comes with opening them. Spot on. Also it is nice that it wasn't that bad. I've been cleaning a work truck for about 10hours to get the mold out. It made your situation look like a cake walk.
Larry! I didn't think you could get any cooler, but Bill Burr and Rage. My hero!
erikdude666 Bill Burr 👍 Rage 👎 lol
I dont have a car. this video popped out randomly. but if i would definitely sign a full package from this company. my cheers and salutes to the people working on this
9:00 listen to that door panel quality! lol
Embrace the 90's crinkle. This ones in good shape actually. These cars tend to have broken arm rests on the driver door.
Camaro Rick lol true. The few caprices I've been in, the door panel damn near ripped right off the door when you pull on the handle to close it
On the plus side of 90's plastic, its easy to plastic weld it back together if you save all the pieces.
Camaro Rick it does have cracks if you look at his honest eBay listing lol
Yum yum, '90s Detroit quality. Now compare it to the bank-vault doors of an '80s Mercedes.
My first car was a 1995 z28 with an LT1. We’ve both come along way since then..Looking back at the memories and forward into the future, what a ride it’s been !
Make sure to not sell it locally Larry! I sold my 2000 Honda Accord 3 years ago and if I ever saw it again, it would be like seeing my ex with someone else and I couldn't handle that. That car is going to be a future classic like many cars from the 90's! Great video!
90s GM cars a classic? I can't see it. Reminds me of 70s and 80s cars...best forgotten about
And your comment sir ages like fine wine.
this was a great video! I had a 96 Caprice 9c1 for like 15 years also. I sold it at the end of last year to make room for my 35th anniversary SS Camaro. I loved that car even with all the quirks lol. like the door panels for one. i can see you know what i mean lol 😆 thanks for the nostalgia Larry!
You're an amazing person and love your channel, I hope you continue to grow over the next decade as you have over this one, you deserve it Larry
Hey Larry, I know this video is a little older but I hope you get a chance to see this. Just a friendly observation as a former mold mitigation specialist. I would recommend that when applying Shag (a great choice for the Hydrogen Peroxide!) apply it directly to your microfiber towel instead of the surfaces. That light mist and puff of air from the bottle can actually cause mold spores to become airborne. If you happen to deal with mold on a fairly regular basis, I would highly recommend grabbing a product called Benefect. It is a fantastic product as well as the worlds only authentic botanical disinfectant. No strong lingering odors or harsh chemicals etc. Lastly, I would encourage you to wear a simple respirator. The mask you have here does nothing to filter out spores. The respirator will filter much better and keep you significantly safer. Fantastic video as always! Keep up the hard work!
A 21-minute AMMO video? YES
Razorblade on windhshields is the BEST way to clean them, hands down. Spritz a little water on the window, go over it with a blade, then you can use way less product and elbow grease to wipe up the little remaining residue. I drive 100 miles a day for my work so I get lots of bug impacts, the razorblade method has saved me a lot of time.
Aye!!! That dad talk in the beginning was everything!!!! ✊🏿✊🏿
Dude. I want to buy it. Man reminds me being a teenager again. My buddy joe was in the herd. A bunch of impala SS owners !!
im not a fan of the matte but that thing is pretty cool
I was amazed at how much Mold is in the air at any moment.
The right conditions make it bloom like crazy.
Yes, nothing is more important than your son...love it bro!!! Good word!!!
You're a very brave man for spraying that engine with that option spark!!!!
Rage and Chevelle make up my detailing soundtrack. Loved the video Larry, I'm sure the Impala will go to a good home!
I totally understand about the armrests/console thing. When I worked at Costco gas station in Lewisville, TX, a Ford Expeditio's battery died. Since it was against policy and not real smart to jump a battery while sitting between 12 gas pumps, the owner asked if I could steer while he pushed this monster out of the station. I know that if something has come up missing, or something for damaged, I'd be at fault. I told him I'd push the truck out and HE could steer. CYA, Baby. I then jumped his truck off with my car battery, and he was on his way. Cover Your Ass is the name of the game. I'm a female, btw, and that was the biggest vehicle I'd ever pushed in my life!
I’m very happy to know you’re a Rage Against the Machine fan.
Lucas Black RATM!
Nice video...I'm buying a car for was not shut...rain got inside I bought a Steamer at goodwill
..glad I watched you video first...sure helped me approach cleaning better before driving it...thanks
Ammo: put your dust mask on
Us in March 2020: we don’t have any more!!!!
You can see how much love you have for what you do and for this car in particular. Hopefull someone will love it as much as you did
Feels a bit incomplete without polishing the headlights and replacing the trunk carpet.
also 100% should have replaced the headliner.
Headliners are expensive. No point if you're selling
The point was to make the best out of what was in hand, not a restoration. I agree with the headlights kinda but not with replacing parts.
Yes, agree with the headlights but the carpet in the trunk was cleaned and headliner was fixed, Headlights fixing would have also been instructive.
Polishing the headlights is stupid, since after a short while it would look just like before. Buying new ones (if still available for this car) and coat them with protection from uv would make more sense.
My dad has a 96 impala with only 100,000 miles, pristine condition, with the flow master exhaust.
I love how this guy dons his uniform to detail his own car.
Living in sunny Southern California, I'll probably never face mold problems. But maybe I will. So I really appreciate this video. Very step-by-step. Informative.. Thank you very much.
I have no idea how I got here, but this was awesome to watch!
this is the first detail video i have ever watched advising on respiration safety.... it is good info/advise...
Sad saying goodbye to a faithful car :(
Could have kept it for his son
Another great video, thanks Larry. No matter how hard it is to see your old friend go, you’ll always have the pictures and memories with it.
Larry you’re Beyond the professionals
what a father would do for his child....from halfway across the world, I get you.bittersweet.no regrets.god bless.
Mold pro tip: first hit it with white vinegar. Spray some on wait a minute, wipe area and repeat. Acetic acid kills mold. Car cleaners do not.
Yup.
I think I would have gone with a kitchen cleaner.
You did an awesome job rejuvenating your Impala SS! We are also glad to hear you're still enjoying the Flowmaster sound all these years later. and Sad saying goodbye to a faithful car :(
Love all the products and thank you for helping me pick the best machine I now own a rupes bigfoot 21 plus all the ammo products reflex is amazing
I’ve had my ‘96 SS since July of 2000. Can’t imagine selling it. We’ve been everywhere together. I’ll use some of your techniques on it just for camaraderie. I have the Flowmasters too and they’re just as great as when I put them on in 2001.
Right in the feels...
That Impala is a beast! Pity you're getting rid of it, but hey, that's life. We all borrow stuff for a while and then let someone else enjoy it.
MAX A/C is recirculated also on that car.
Bill burr is definitely one of the greatest of all time. Absolutely hilarious! Excellent choice 👌🏻👌🏻
Rage is the best! Best concert I've ever been to as well!
I would love to hear an ad read from Bill for Ammo. "We got the Ammo PLLLLLUUUMMM to keep your wheels allll sparkally duuuuuuude"
I still have my clunker Impala SS. I had one of those car tents, Huge moisture trap. It blew over in a NY snow storm too.
The madman washed an LT1 engine bay lmao
I’ve always wanted a 94-96 impala SS . Never did pull the trigger but my friend bought one back in 2001 /2002 , somewhere around that time .
It looked good in gloss black
HEKTIC458 Yes. I would have kept it gloss and put chrome wheels on.
You can really tell how much this Impala means to Larry!
3:50 I learned it the hard way. Arm rest and glove box should not be even opened. Amen
That's kinda hard to avoid, as most customers leave their service book in the glove box, and you have to get it to stamp it after an oil change.
We or at least I am talking only about valeting/detailing/washing situation were You are supposed to clean a car inside and possibly outside.
Yes I do vacuum under the seats, but I do have problem with getting a proper cleanliness. The way my working place works is I get the car after all the talk with customer is done by adviser. To only chance I get is after job is done.
And how exactly does this help? they are still going to accuse you of stealing stuff.
what is the craziest thing you guys have found in a glove box, center console or arm rest???
I recently had a very severe mild problem with my rx8 that has been off the road for 2 years. I went straight for steam cleaning and household products but it was incredibly awkward so I stripped the interior and cleaned everything multiple times with more aggressive household products in the house and luckily it’s now fully clean and dry. Could have saved myself a lot of hassle I’d dealt with the mild this way
Did the mold ever come back? Please respond
Detailing in the name of......🤙🏼
my best friend had this car when we were younger. this thing was fast as hell for a big body.
Larry, A/C “max” recirculates.
Thanks Larry, this video motivated me to detail my friends boat on a whim. Had no idea it would come back so well, and be so appreciated. Your bittersweet turned into my buddy's joy!
cool rims and tyres setup, looks tough
I hope to have this generation Impala one day. Pretty much my dream car. If someone were to put a 95-96 Impala next to a Ferrari or Lamborghini and told me to choose, I'd take the Impala any day.
Thought for sure you'd keep that car forever.
I just watched this episode and I can't tell how important it is to be careful around mold. three months ago I found my dream car a 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback in North Carolina and I drove it back to my home in Ohio. the car had mold in it but like a huge dumbass, I ignored it and suffered an idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage and just got out of the hospital and have pretty much lost everything. In other words, don't mess around with mold
This video made me want an Impala SS, and then when I realized I'm never gonna get one I went and cleaned my Camry
In the current market they are quite affordable. Unless you're looking for one with super low miles, you can find them all day around 5-7k in decent-good condition; rough ones for around 3k.
On the part where you mentioned you practically lived in this car, I think it'd make a great video and story to hear about your entire life leading up to being such a successful and well known detailer.
Larry I know the feeling of letting your car, your companion, your emotional bond leave you. It's a sad day but like you said your love for your kids and your passion for cars moves on. They ebay listing has ended?

Talk about a success. Larry went from sleeping in his impala to owning r8’s. American dream right there.
3:38 Was that a Seinfeld VHS tape?!
yup
It was quick but I caught the Seinfeld logo on it. A true New Yorker is a SeinFan ;)
Great video😁. One thing to note. The car does actually have recirc. When you hit the MAX A/C, that is the recirculation.
Best year Impala in my opinion.
Wish I could get one :P
You’re an amazing father. That’s how a dad should be.
Amazing 🔥
I remember selling my first car. It's the jeep in my profile picture. Had a blown drive shaft bearing and two almost blown differentials. Had it for 2 and a half years, but man, I miss that thing every day. My new car is much nicer but that first car... You'll always wish you still had it.
Rage for life my man!
Fredde Nilsson This year's record store day released a live performance of Rage in DC on vinyl if you want something new.
That’s a bad ass picture at 00:25
Brings back memories of my ‘95
10:21 You dropped the towel, Larry! Haha, kidding. It was going in the trash anyway. 😉
Currently second owner of a 99 we as young car guys can all appreciate a first owner that cared
I hope Matt Farah buys it.
spoiler, he won't
Hey Larry, Im a microbiologist and a medical student that loves bringing that into my detailing. So with a mold problem, the only thing that degrades their cell walls is chlorine (but we should use that in the car) and ammonia!
Bit late to your comment, but I'm bout to start dealing with this in my project car. Any recommendations for dealing with the spores? Current thinking is ozone generation and then fabric/leather cleaner throughout?
Invest in wireless headphones Larry, the wires may scratch the paint
Larry, I’m so glad to see you have made such a great success for you band your family.
RATM! YES!
Man. I can't believe this. This is a legendary car both in real life and in FH4
Why doesn’t he ever use ozone to rid cars of mold? Then the spores are dead and it’s just a matter of APC and mop them up
MAMW93 If I remember correctly after several uses it can make the plastic more brittle.
I did this on a convertible and it worked great. Mold never came back.....
The concentrations and time needed to have any lasting effect on plastic would mean you have to leave it parked next to a transformer for a while. He's being over cautious imo
MAMW93 what about bleach?
Why all of you are so obsessed with mold?
You can always keep in touch with the buyer and buy it back someday.Don't forget to lower the windows a bit and get the dirt off the top were it meets the rubber.
The eBay listing is no longer available did you sell it already?

Is that Free Shipping or Free Pickup? It's confusing, says both....
Chris Padilla pick up
I know this video is old but if I can spread some knowledge, I will. I've owned a professional window cleaning company for over 20 years. When you blade glass, keep it soaking wet, blade down one stroke at a time. Get to the bottom of a stoke, lift up, clean your blade in1 downward direction on a towel. Take another pass.
If you go back and forth, up and down in an erratic manner, you run the risk of a partical being lodged under the blade and causing a scratch. Trust me my way is the safe, efficient, effective way to blade glass. No need for micro-scrarches like you'll see on black paint.
BTW you did the right thing as a man, husband, father and dad.
Where can I get that carport?
Tractor supply co... ShelterLogic Landowner Series Garage-in-a-Box RoundTop, 12 ft. x 20 ft. x 8 ft.... I think that’s similar at least
Larry, your analogies are weirdly helpful no matter how weird they may sound
bet it gets turned into a donk when it gets sold lmao
BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON a donk is a 71-76 impala or caprice learn it
This video doubles as a “used car purchase detail” also a way that I’ve flipped a few cars . Some I’ve taken the extra step to one step polish! Good luck to that Impala ! Always hard to let go of a great car
Is "Max AC" not recirculate on the old chevys?
jborgar "Max AC" uses the recirculate function automatically, but does not recirculate the inside air continuously. In some vehicles it also maxes out the speed of the fan (makes it very noisy as well). Many of the older vehicles did not have a true recirculate function, more of a "sort of closed off" feature. Newer vehicles will completely close off the air coming in from the outside from the HVAC system, to prevent smoke or other unpleasant smells from entering the vehicle.
good to know!
Yup.
I got a car from a recently deceased relative and the car is in great condition mechanically but water got into the interior and this video couldn't have come at a better time for me.
It looks so bad matte....😭
I love to see you are still a such a humble person.
