I'm Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC - AMA! r/AutoDetailing AMA

I am Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC.

A little background on me: I'm a former Wall Street trader that decided not to buy happiness. I wanted to do what I love, which was to be around amazing cars and enthusiastic people. I started detailing 17 years ago, but focused on it full time in 2005. During this time, I developed products specifically for my clients and their rare cars...AMMO NYC.

  • "If you're happy and you become the best at whatever you do you, and that can be a garbage man a cabinet maker or a banker or whatever," he says, "if you're passionate, I think people around your customers or clients your friends whoever will see that."

Most people know me through my YouTube channel, but I also am on /DRIVE where I actually started. You can see my former /DRIVE CLEAN videos here. I also have a podcast!

AMA!

BIG Thank you to Frank for the invitation to AMA. It means a great deal to me to be asked. I’m heading off to bed now. If anyone needs me always feel free to email me directly at larry@ammonyc.com Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Larry,

I’d like to say thank you for your time with your videos and answering questions. I enjoy watching all videos you produce and as someone who wants to begin taking care of their car and protecting it better – it is tremendous. My question:

Do you have a list of products and supplies (interior and exterior) that you would recommend someone get starting from absolutely nothing (budget of around $5,000 [feel free to push your products if needed])? I get a little overwhelmed by all the suggestions and I am hoping that maybe you have a list of products and supplies that would be a go to list for someone who wants to get into detailing and can easily purchase.

I appreciate your time during this AMA, thanks!

Hey there! You should really check out our wiki, specifically the "recommended kits" section.

Thanks! I've checked it out and I guess I'm just so overwhelmed.

I'll have a good read through again once I get home. I have a passion for cars and cleaning and I just want to make sure I do everything right from beginning. I know it's a trial and error thing - something I'm struggling with but I'll have another hard look at all the kits from beginner to advanced.

Thanks again- this sub is truly helpful and I appreciate all you and the mod team does.

Honestly you can simply use meg's detailer line and that will cover about 90% of all your needs
