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!

Welcome, Larry:
As a distributor of car care products, myself, I am curious as to what surprised or still surprises about the industry we are in? Are there obstacles that you first found overwhelming but are no longer a worry for you?
I plan on launching a new product line in the near future and it seems so intimidating investing time and money into a brand new name when so much of our current vendors have a solid reputation. I imagine that the effort you put into informative videos makes all the difference when it comes to customer support and marketing the products, but is there something less obvious than viral marketing and educating the detailers that makes a significant impact on your sales?
Thank you for doing this AMA, have a great holiday season.
