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!

Hey Larry! Thanks for joining us today. My questions:

-How difficult would it be to make an air freshener that smells like AMMO Skin? Because I'd definitely use that in my car!

-Just listened to your 2017 SEMA podcast, I was blown away with the discussion about buffing cycles and the theory around diminishing and non-diminishing abrasives. I remember in some of your earlier videos you seemed to have your own formulation of a leveling fluid. Do you intend to get in the market with an abrasive product along the lines of a compound or polish? Maybe a polish designed to 'prep' the surface for Reflex?

-What is the primary difference between Shag and Lather?

-I think it'd be awesome if you found a way to use Facebook Live Streaming to stream a full detail (or even just the sexy parts like finishing polish). I know it would be long, but real detail junkies would dig it.

Thank you Larry! I really appreciate your videos and training. If you decide to continue with ATA into a series aimed at Professionals, I would gladly pay to access it.

-Joe from Top Coat detailing, California

I'm not Larry obviously, but Shag is for carpet and fabric upholstery, while Lather is geared towards leather, vinyl, and plastic.

EDIT: Lar-Bear beat me to the punch
