  1. You're not SUPER-DUPER OG clean until you actually unbolt the front seats out of the car to be able to vacuum and clean every single possible nook and cranny everywhere on the carpets. And yes I have done this a number of times on mine and my wife's cars.

  2. 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!

  3. How about some appreciation for the woman who seems to know the whole story about every single one of those cars. That’s pretty amazing!

  4. cgminds M uhhh no, the plastic laminating layer is BETWEEN two layers of glass, one layer outside and one inside.  If there were plastic film on the outside the windshield wouldn't get nicks from rocks and stones, but then it wouldn't hold up like glass does.

  5. cgminds M dude what are you smoking? "Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) BETWEEN two pieces of glass." http://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-driving-safety/safety-regulatory-devices/auto-glass2.htm

  6. cgminds M Apparently you do not.  Plastic on the exterior surface of glass?  haha what nonsense.  Maybe if someone was dumb enough to apply a clear bra film to the windshield hopefully no one would actually do that. Seriously, laminated glass wouldn't even function properly if the plastic film were on the outside.  Glass is far harder than plastic so it wouldn't even make sense to make it that way.

  7. Well the reality is that the Owners Manual isn't ALWAYS the best thing to do! Especially with older cars as new tech comes out. My 94 Integra recommends 5w or 10w30 oil depending on climate. I use 0w30 full synthetic to help reduce engine wear at cold startup, and I'd like to think that is partly why the engine still runs great at 362,000 miles. Back in 1994 there was no such thing as 0w30 oil. Since most engine wear occurs during cold starting, you want the thinnest oil possible when cold. 0w is still thicker than what's needed at operating temperature, so any engine that requires 5w or 10w30 can use 0w30, and any engine that requires 5w20 can use 0w20.

  8. HEKTIC458 yeah that's nuts. I spent less than that repainting my entire car.
    14
  9. Should have gone with the LED brake and signal lights!
    13
  10. Larry said it's going to get a complete tear down later on, under the Owner's supervision.
    10
  11. Plus his own line of detailing products.
    9
  12. Yep same. Saw it in the Recommended videos on YT home page but not in my subscribed list.
    9
  13. Prove to me what you're saying, then.  Because on my car the outside of the windshield is glass.  The outside of my wife's car windshield is glass.  Both my parents' cars, and every other car I've ever worked on has glass on the outside of the windshield.
    8
  14. Yep, obviously a troll.
    8
  15. Pretty much every new car needs some level of paint correction straight out of the dealership lot. No new cars come out with perfect paint.
    8
  16. Perhaps try your local autocross events. Typically much cheaper although you don't get the benefit of an instructor. Also test n tune at the drag strip if that's your thing.
    7
  17. Nope, there's no break dust anywhere on anything, because it's actually BRAKE dust that you're thinking of!
    7
  18. You're impossible.
    6
  19. Owner should back-charge the dealer for having to pay to get Larry to remove the DIS's... dammit I hate dealer "detailing".
    5
  20. cgminds M you just keep telling yourself that.
    5
  21. Lenard Wahlert have you seen Larry’s house and vehicles and the size of this channel? Pretty sure he’s already pulling 6 figures doing what he loves. Why would he want to be in the corporate world? I sure wouldn’t want to.
    5
  22. Picking the pebbles out of tire tread can be tempting to do, but in the end a futile process. It's going to get all full of pebbles once again after a mile of driving down the road.
    5
  23. you realize that car enthusiasm knows no political party lines, right?
    5
  24. 9:46 "a steam machiner" 😂

  25. cgminds M Windshields have been laminated for many decades.  I just used a razor blade last week on my 1994 car's windshield just like in the video, and guess what, NO SCRATCHES!  Why?  Because there is no plastic on the outside, and I had plenty of liquid on the glass to help prevent any scratches.
    4
  26. cgminds M Well you are free to follow your own advice, and the rest of us are free not to.
    4
  27. cgminds M 2 months later and... you're still wrong.

  28. My thoughts as well, looks like it has some cool OG import car parts like the SSR wheels, A'PEXi computer and so on.

  29. We got this system last year after some asshole kicked in our front door while my wife was at home. I’m not all that worried about someone hacking our system. I AM worried about the random person who tries to physically force access into our house. And at least with our SimpliSafe system the person would be caught on camera.
    4
  30. Or just watch to the end.
    4
  31. absolutely. I had some sort of unknown marks/residue on the inside of my Miata gauge cluster lens when I bought the car last summer. I took it apart and hit both inside and outside of the plastic lens with 105/205 on 3" pads, and it now looks brand new. I tried 205 first, which did not get rid of all the residue marks (whatever the heck it was), but 105 did the trick, then 205 again to refine it out.

  32. Some cars have a problem with mildew in the AC condenser pan. I know our Mazda CX-5 (and all CX-5's) have this problem particularly when running the A/C on recirculate. For some reason it just builds up a crap load of condensate moisture, which can start to mildew. If we always run the A/C on fresh air instead, it doesn't really smell.

  33. ArneBergsch Watch the recent The Smoking Tire vid from Matt Farah showing the BMW 2-series on a dry open track session. They're all giving each other signals to pass when an obviously faster car is behind.
    3
  34. I know Larry is a perfectionist and all, as am I in most things, but a concours paint job on a track car doesn't seem like the best idea to me. But who knows it will probably still be amazing.
    3
  35. Sorry no, hand polishing can never match the paint correction possible with a machine. Even that last step before wax, getting rid of any holograms or swirls, will be far easier by machine with far better results.
    3
  36. +rapierwon sure thing bud, and the people using machines the right way will get better results than you, every time.
    3
  37. I personally hate the idea of matte finishes because you can't do anything with them. You can't sand, can't correct, nothing. If you try to polish a spot it becomes shiny.
    3
  38. Watch the other videos in this series.
    3
  39. One theory in another comment is that it was uploaded as Private or Unlisted first, and then changed to Public, which I think makes it not show up in subscription lists. I've seen it happen before where someone made all his videos private. Then he put them all back to Public again, but I did not have a bunch of new subscription notifications (which would have been dumb if it did that).

  40. Chrysler and Mitsu, actually. Not GM. Hence the acronym DSM for Diamond-Star Motors, the Mitsubishi diamonds plus the Chrysler/Plymouth penta-star logos.
    3
  41. asses have feet? LOL
    3
  42. cgminds M So the windshield manufacturing links and videos I posted above are all wrong. Yep, sure thing bud, whatever you say.
    2
  43. 15+ replies and 130+ likes on his CX5 comment. Sounds like you're wrong.
    2
  44. SEMA needs to take a queue from some of these bicycle trade shows that are now opening the show to the public for one or two days out of the whole event. Because there are a lot of interested people out there who are into this kind of stuff, or maybe people that would like to get started in the "industry" (such as new detailers or mechanics starting out, etc). I don't get why they still keep it closed to the public. Like it's some sort of secretive hush-hush insider party or something.
    2
  45. When you came into the room to see the new machine, why did you have 2 GoPros in your hand? Just curious.
    2
  46. I've seen some detailers use a small tool that spins and has sort of "teeth" on it, and they run it across the pads with the machine on a low speed, moving the tool in and out from center to edge.  Any thoughts on those?  I'm not sure if those are more for foam pads or what.
    2
  47. I have mistaken a new C7 for a Ferrari from a distance on more than one occasion.
    2
  48. 1989 Camry 4-cyl manual gearbox base model. Only option was AC. The only good thing about the car was the manual gearbox. Got that car in 1996. Bought my first own car myself in 2001, a 94 Acura Integra GSR which I still drive today.
    2
  49. Well I don't really have the money for anything else and don't want a car payment.  Besides, we will be getting rid of my wife's massive piece of CRAP 96 Toyota Corolla before I get rid of my car.  I fix that car far more than mine.

  50. +Jason Windsor it's a Honda bro. 😉 says so on the engine and every part in the car.

  51. mintkendishin Thousands...

  52. Vlad G, no sir, changing any more often than 6,000 miles for a street car is wasteful and has no benefit whatsoever, as long as quality oil and filter are used. I use Mobil1 0w30 and change it once a year, which for my car is barely 5,000 miles, sometimes even less. My original engine has over 363,000 miles to prove it.
    2
  53. M X Chernobyl?
    2
  54. yep, did it on my Miata cluster. Recommend removing the cluster and taking the lens off the cluster, though.
    2
  55. not to mention the tough nuts (pecans I think) sitting inside the engine bay! Ba-dum-tsss
    2
  56. Imagine screwing up a customer car because you weren’t familiar with it beforehand. That’s the purpose of doing this.
    2
  57. If you're near Memphis, Word of Mouth Detailing works this way.
    2
  58. I design and draw building plans for a living. Those look like some crappy AutoCAD drawings lol. Building design looks awesome though!
    2
  59. because US driving laws aren't nearly as stringent. Drivers licenses are practically handed out in cereal boxes, that's how much of a joke the "driving test" is.
    2
  60. Why does anyone leave vehicles in barns or outside for years on end? Often life just gets in the way, or the Owner falls out of love with the vehicle or whatever, but then later rediscovers it and wants to bring it back. Maybe he/she lives down there during winter months and wants this car down there. It's not really that far-fetched.
    2
  61. It showed up for me in the Recommended videos, which is the only way I knew about it. I think it was originally uploaded set to Private or Unlisted, then changed to Public, which makes it not show up in people's subscription lists.
    2
  62. I keep an Absorber towel around for wheels only, or maybe some areas in the engine bay.  That's it.

  63. Only thing that might be considered a "failure" is new car instant depreciation. We just bought a 2 year old CX-5 last summer for around $10K less than the new car's price would have been. It's been a great car so far. I love CX-5's as far as CUV's go. Perfect vehicle for my wife and our family.

  64. dang I used to do a full detail on my car including wash, clay, polish and wax with Porter Cable DA machine, interior and engine cleaning, and it took me 6-8 hours. And my car is small (94 Integra coupe)!
    1
  65. holy crap, so much work to make the car look PERFECT, so is it still going to be a track car?
    1
  66. +thedakotagosquad Print up some business cards and an invoice for service done on a friend's car, maybe they would let you in. :-P
    1
  67. Lol put it back in too soon and the car will smell like pickles! 😂
    1
  68. Yikes, I would never use the same mitt on both door/fuel/hood jambs as on the lower rocker panels. One for the top, one for the bottom, and a 3rd for the jambs.
    1
  69. Tristan H. It will never get like that unless both front wheels are off the ground. Even when cornering on the inside wheel, the sway bar keeps it from drooping so much that the spring becomes uncaptured.
    1
  70. Daniel Maia I'm sure he had whatever fuel level he planned to start with on a track day (not always a full tank), and they probably either used Larry himself or some ballast in the driver seat to account for his weight.
    1
  71. That ep 1 rust removal part I was like DAMNNNNN THAT'S NASTY!!!!!!
    1
  72. haha smart thinking!
    1
  73. Tha Saw He probably was in the car when they were doing the actual corner balancing.
    1
  74. Who is better, and why exactly?
    1
  75. Looks up paint pen on Amazon... "usually ships in 1 to 2 months" what the hell??
    1
  76. 355,000 on my Honda Integra.
    1
  77. +heyitschinoable lol thanks bro. It's looking pretty shitty these days, haven't washed it in like a year. Clear coat is fading in some places 😢
    1
  78. heyitschinoable well sure it sits in the sun while I'm at work.  At home it's garaged, though.  But I've put probably 200,000 miles on the car since it was painted in 2004.
    1
  79. Only reason I would ever want a brand new car, besides the warranty and hopefully reliability, would be the idea that I could pull all the wrappings off myself, and prep it and clean it the way >>I<< want to.
    1
  80. Man this is all awesome and everything, but I was just sitting there the whole time thinking damn that all is costing sooo much money. Did that $700 include getting the car to the track and track prep and everything?
    1
  81. 8:00 that whole step I was wanting to reach in and move that leaf and other GUNK under the edge of the tire. 😂 Oh and wheel wooly sounds hilarious lol.
    1
  82. Whenever I'm going to be doing something to all 4 wheels like this I go ahead and jack up both ends of the car and get jack stands under all 4 corners. Seems to save some time overall. Also why not apply the tire dressing before putting the wheel back on the car? Whenever the car is on the ground I have to apply the dressing, then roll the car slightly to get that one spot of tire that was nearest the ground previously. It's easier to do it with the tire off the car if you have the tire off anyway.
    1
  83. Does the paint thickness meter not work on painted CF panels? Also, why in the world would somebody put HOCKEY TAPE on the hood of the car??? Should have used the blue painters tape all over including both the hood AND the bumper!
    1
  84. Not just newer cars, my 94 Integra rear hatch glass does this, and I always wondered why.
    1
  85. Larry man your car is hot FIYAHH for sure, but I do think your street wheels look better than those new ones with the race tires.  But I guess you want the better looking stuff to be on the street anyway, right?  What made you go with those wheels?
    1
  86. Normal, my Acura Integra smoked a bit after replacing the head gasket and putting the head and camshafts back together with assembly lube.
    1
  87. Holy smokes that joystick control for the climate control looks super cumbersome to use while driving, maybe even dangerous, as opposed to some tactile control you don't have to look at as much.
    1
  88. man those air polishers take MASSIVE amounts of air to run.  No way my upright garage compressor could run one of those. Curious, why use an air polisher instead of electric?  Is it just because there are no electric polishers small enough to do the really detailed intricate areas?
    1
  89. Amazing garage build! Those steel "beams" were actually C channels, and bolted on each side of the wood beam, it created sort of a "flitch beam".
    1
  90. Clay might be able to remove some of that paint overspray if that's what it is.
    1
  91. Harzman01 Oh okay, I thought you were saying the paint was in good shape other than what sounds like is "overspray" on the body panels.
    1
  92. +Aleksandar Kospenda haha I actually had a pizza in Brazil I think it was, that actually had mayo on it. It was NASTY!
    1
  93. I change the oil in my car once a year.
    1
  94. That should be a show! Larry Kosilla + Mike Rowe!
    1
  95. Pretty sure he'll work on most anything that a customer is willing to pay for, and the customer will have their reasons for wanting to bring the car down to where they are. Plus, I'm sure when Larry saw the car or got wind of what the customer wanted, he immediately thought of the video possibilities for the channel. BIOHAZARD is the type of click-baity word that gets views.
    1
  96. If you want to use a foam gun, a pressure washer is far more effective. I've seen videos of foam guns that attach to the hose, and the foam they produce just looks straight up wimpy compared to that of an actual power washer with foam gun/cannon.
    1
  97.  @mypalAbra  lmao yeah, still have the car at 388,000+ miles now. Runs great but looks like crap as it needs a respray badly. I've been slowly replacing and restoring parts until I can get a bigger place, to do a full teardown and restoration project on the car.
    1
  98. I need one of those tiny polishers like that. I have a couple of cars with aftermarket single-DIN head units with the display lens all scratched up. I rubbed it a bit by hand with some 105/205 and a microfiber cloth, and it improved the appearance, but not to this level.
    1
  99. In the South we don't use Winter tires.
    1
  100. My point is that most people in the South don't do a seasonal tire change, so they're less likely to do any sort of deep cleaning like this.
    1
  101.  @DrDre001  haha your avatar FTW

  102. Website video is through Vimeo, not sure about revenue on that one.
    1
  103. @Casper I'm sure any cleaner made for LCD screens would be fine, such as TV or computer displays.
    1
  104. Indeed. I had the stock exhaust resonator removed from my car during my last year of college because it always scraped the parking garage ramp, and I finally got sick of it!
    1
  105. Anonymous you have no idea what you're talking about. Quit pulling numbers out of your ass
    1
  106. The entire restoration was at least $50K sure, you said the "paint job" was $50K which is false.
    1
  107. Amazing transformation! The wheels are just mind-boggling how good they came out!
    1
  108. Was this car in the Teckademics Mischief 3000 movie, from the 2002 G3K? I can't remember. The only M5 I remember was being driven by some kid.
    1
  109. To do videos he needs customers with neglected vehicles, of course.
    1
  110. glass is an extremely hard material, making it very difficult to polish. Just about the only thing that will make a dent in those scratches will be cerium oxide, sold as Ceriglass and probably some other products. Careful, though, because it's an extremely messy process.
    1
  111. I do the same. Hell my wife's car is the only car worth detailing at my house lol.
    1
  112. oh dang that floor jack under the LR tire left a nasty looking gouge in the driveway all the way into the garage.
    1
  113. here you go sir, it's from one of Larry's videos over on the /DRIVE channel, as part of the /DRIVE CLEAN series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZUzvhhyGR8
    1
  114. from what Matt Moreman was saying, they're kind of a pain to deal with.
    1
  115. Larry also has a video on /DRIVE CLEAN showing front windshield cleaning on a Caddy CTS-V, going through various steps on the outside cleaning using a razor scraper, clay bar, glass cleaner, and glass polish with a thin glass polishing pad on a DA polisher.
    1
  116. watch the whole series on Vimeo from ammonyc.com, it's over 1.5 hours long I think.
    1
  117. OMG Larry’s using a polishers that’s NOT a Rupes!!! 😱😂😂
    1
  118. lol same, and when he stuck a handful right up in front of the camera I physically moved my head backwards while sitting at my desk, making an EWWWW face. lololol
    1
  119. Ephraim Hill apparently you missed the side by side comparison between wrapped and unwrapped panels. No discernible difference in the appearance whatsoever.

  120. 2-hour fire glass shouldn't be required, unless he just wanted to do it for extra protection for the cars. A parking garage is classified as S-2 Storage under the IBC, while an office is B, which requires a 1-hour separation when the building has fire sprinklers (the Business occupancy is actually the higher hazard compared to S-2). A factory or warehouse S-1 occupancy actually requires no fire separation from an adjoining Group B office area.
    1
  121.  @TheSmokingTire  must be a local code thing. The International Building Code classifies parking garages as S-2, while M is Mercantile (retail stores etc.). Looks like the City of LA has their own municipal code, based on the California Building Code, which I'm sure is more stringent than the IBC.
    1
  122. I'm gonna guess use the product that he recommended in the video on the seatbelts, the Shag spray stuff.
    1
  123. 12:45 Larry man how tall are you?? Good Lord man the Ford Edge is 69" tall and your shoulder is nearly roof height! I'm 5'11, our Mazda CX-5 is only 65" tall and I still have to use a step ladder to reach the top center of the roof. That's the main thing that makes washing the car take so damn long, having to move the ladder all around to reach everything.
    1
  124. Bri An and apparently you have a problem understanding geometry.
    1
  125.  @brian1157  only if you're not too moronic to understand what I'm talking about.

  126. Keith R more likely just B roll from months before.

  127. Chris Fix and Pan The Organizer both have engine detailing videos. Pan just posted one a few weeks ago.

  128. Absolutely stunning is about all I can say. Has it been or will it be featured in any magazines? It definitely should!
    1
  129. Simon Wright and then buffs it out to probably make it look even better than before.
    1
  130. Man, so much amazing work done on the car, it’s a shame those headlights have no more UV protection. They should have been 2K clearcoated after the 1500 grit sanding. 800 grit would have been even better.
    1
  131. Doug Doug gonna be a shit ton more hard ass work. Gotta bust your ass to get to this level.
    1
  132. Besides the construction issues of trying to install fuel tanks on-site, it would likely change and/or add a different occupancy type to the building, which would likely increase design and construction costs quite a bit. No real point to doing that when there's an actual fuel station so close.
    1
  133. Not if you have $20K paint to begin with.
    1
  134. Why, do you look like a criminal? They're just basic hazardous material cleaning supplies, suitable for any sort of demolition, cleaning or restoration work in houses or anything else. I mean, that's why they sell the stuff.
    1
  135. well that sucks man, people are assholes. But that doesn't make me a dumb ass. Yes I have been judged by cops for how I look and the car I was driving.

  136. wow that's uh.. quite the wing there on that... Oldsmobile Aurora lol
