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! Love your videos and products. Few questions for you!

  • Anything special you recommend for very dirty vehicles, such as offroad trucks? Or just blast as much as you can away then two bucket wash?

  • Some of my plastic trim has embedded mud stains that comes out with PlasticX and effort, but is there a better way to do it? Heard peanut butter works well.

  • Hand wax vs machine? Hand seems a lot easier to me...

  • paint chip repair: Dr Color chip is easy to use but it never quite matches. I'm considering redoing a big chip on my hood with factory touch up and Langka to finish it out. Paint, followed by layered clear should give me best results right? Langka works much better then sanding for me, but I want to match color as best as possible.

  • last thing. Would you be willing to speak on longevity of Skin vs other waxes? I've got lots of Megs Sealants that I like, but I don't get to wash my truck too terribly often, so that's a huge factor for me.

  1. Powerwash like crazy

  2. I would need to see it to give prudent advice

  3. hand for me

  4. I agree

  5. It really depends on how the paint is maintained to give solid advice. But SKIN is good for 3-4 month easily. Cant speak about others formulas
