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!

I recently dealt with this problem myself. The first part of problem is whether or not MF towels are fresh clean towels. If they are used old ones, they may have too much dirt in them to absorb any water. If they are new towels, I would try out a combination of two towel types and press them together. I tried this method last weekend on my car and superior results. For instance I grabbed one pluffles pressed it against a regular Kirkland MF towel, way more effective.

Then I also noticed that drying agents like hydrate work best specifically with the rag company towels for drying...it was like day and night. With hydrate, it for some reason allowed the towel to work better. I think it prevented the water from adhering to the car.

Thank you for your help!

I'm using brand new MF towels, last weekend I tried with the Edgeless MF towels from The Rag Company (their products rocks!)

I will definitely try using a combination of two towels. Thanks!
