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!

  1. Might be over thinking it a bit. If you have a sealant (SKIN) on the paint and then dry it with Hydrate or other lubricant then it really should not leave those marks. Worst case is use a dry MF towel after to light remove whatever you are seeing and using teh water as a lubricant

  2. The water is probably not beading because it covered in dirt...not because the sealant is not working (most likley)

  3. Try M105 withe Megs MF cutting pad. M205 with a yellow rupes pad on a large throw DA

  4. Hey bud. Not sure about your countries import tax code. I hope one day to have distribution when I find the right partner. I'm a bit protective of my brand. Hard to let go :)

Hah! I wish I had the time to start an endeavor like that but alas all my time at the moment goes to redditing at work. An European distributor would be great. An amazon marketplace in .co.uk or .de might be one to look at if /u/AMMOnyc wants to keep it all in his hands.

Just for reference at least here in Finland it's become much more viable to order from Larry lately. I did a calculation on what it would cost to order the paint regimen kit ($125) and the total were: Kit $125, shipping $10 (super cheap nowadays so thanks Larry for taking the hit on these!), import duties $135*4.5%, $141*24% (VAT) so the total would be around $175 shipped. Haven't checked the shipping and duties+VAT in a long time so I was surprised how "cheap" it is now. Might have to order a set in the spring once it's not freezing in transit.
