@@HxTurtle Well, at least several other German manufacturers use the same logic, like the BMW e39 M5, which states a 5 litre engine when it's actually a 4,9 litre displacement and the road tax used to be based on every starting 100cc of displacement in several european counties, including Germany. I didn't make this up, I read it from somewhere years ago but I guess we would need to ask the engineers at AMG why the engine they created was a 6.2 rather than 6.3
It might be difficult to understand why a clean car needs detailing, because most of us could never afford a 200 000 dollars car. But if I had a car like this one, of course I would want it to look absolutely perfect. Or as you say, Larry, 98 percent perfect. Amazing job on this one, especially noticing all the parts, like rubber glue, swirls etc. that needed to be removed.
the thing my father taught me that i live by today is you can either spend your time cleaning it, or spend your time using it, which is what i do with my cars today
@@nickfila2208 for some people cleaning it is using it. Different people get enjoyment from cars in different ways. I have a Black Series and don't drive it very often, but enjoy it every day. Sort of like owning an artwork.
@@brucerobertson5919 exactly! that you said how it really is. it's a very similar situation for me as well. I'm more happy not to take unnecessary risks. my two classics are just irreplaceable to me. I've no issue having them on jack stands for half a year even. they both around 80,000 miles and I'm very proud to look after them in a proper way and conserving their value. not everyone gets pleasure outta abusing things. and I'll certainly never understand why some peeps believe that I should treat my own possession the way they'd like it. that's totally flawed thinking!
@@brucerobertson5919 not only that but when detail your car and use anti rust chemicals and clean out the undercarriage of the car, including exhaust, it just helps keep your car mechanically maintained
Totally off topic, but ammo, one time you called into Verizon customer service and I spoke to you personally. I remember how me and you got to talking about car detailing and you were super cool. Down to earth kinda guy…this was several years ago. Stay well and thanks for all your priceless info! 🙏🏼❤️
I hate to break this to you but I could be me aswell. I used to work for Rocket-Money and I used to throw this story for any person named Larry. But I really do hope that you spoke with the real one.
This is the content that I hope you show more. Every detailer on TH-cam shows the dirty transformations but very few have your skill to do this kind of work. Amazing as always!
Can't wait to see the detailing of the Syclone!!! So lucky to see one in person Larry!!! It was the world’s quickest pickup truck. Its 0-60 mph time sat between 4.3 seconds on a good day, to 4.6 seconds on a bad one. In the early 90s, if you were behind the wheel of a Syclone, that meant you were quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. And if you came across a Ferrari 348, you’d smoke it too. And they just announced the return of the GMC Syclone for 2023. Hopefully you also get to detail its brother someday. The GMC Typhoon.
@@AMMO-NYC If you ever detail a Lamborghini in Arancio Borealis would you please make a video? It’s my daughters’ favorite color for a car and we watch your videos before bedtime every night. It’s become a tradition. They absolutely love them. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
There are lots of car washers on TH-cam, yet very few actual detailers. This video shows what detailing is all about, Larry is among the best out there.
I love this content. I started detailing as a form of therapy from my career as a paramedic. I learned the basics from this channel and a lot of trial and error; I have now managed to create my own business. It has been a slaug, but detailing cars brought back a sense of accomplishment I have been missing from my other career. This has been one of the biggest saving graces of my life. I would love the opportunity to come down to NYC, see your shop and maybe absorb some of the knowledge you have to make my business more successful.
Even the seatbelts are pretty! Thank you for sharing all of this information! I can't believe how much time you and your team spend to bring this to us! Also I like every video that I watch and everyone else should too!
Thank you for showing the "turn all the lights off" trick. About a month ago I polished my first "entire car" it was my dad's newly bought 2010 light blue Honda Odyssey. I went crazy trying to see the scratches in the paint, I had to position my light close to the panels and then move back and get my head as close as I could to try and catch the reflection
It's gonna be a long comment about cleaning floor mats. It this video they are clean enough but I watch your channel for years and I wanted to share cleaning tip which I learned from my previous job. I was in detailing industry for nearly 10 years, at some stage I was working for a guy who had carpet cleaning as second business. The method he used was really amazing for car floor mats. Before applying any moisture to the floor mat he gave it quick vacuum clean and then flips the mat upside down and gives it a lot of vibrations. On big house carpets he used special carpet beater machine but for car floor mat, tornador is really good or just manual beating on the back of the mat. Using this method repeatedly removes way more debris than normal vacuum cleaning or tornador on the top of the floor mat. I was shocked how much dirt was hidden in the deep fibers of the mat. After vibrating the floor mat upside-down, you flip it back, do another vacuum clean and then get to wet cleaning. That metod prevents from keeping the dirt at the deepest layers of the mat and makes for a much better clean and removal of bad smell. I would love if you would do a video comparing the metod which is most common, it is as you do it and the metod of dry dirt removing by vibrations.
That extra 10% is tough to get but you definitely brought it to the table Larry. It's a beautiful car, but I also have to comment on just how good your production values are. I really enjoy the format!
Hey Larry - On the topic of what to use on the wheel hubs to keep corrosion at bay and make it easier to remove in the future, I still stand by a light coat of copper anti seize. I do what you showed by cleaning it well of any existing corrosion, and then it's just a nice thin layer with the included brush on the hub and you'll never have issues. I've tried wiping some on with one of those blue shop towels (the roll like paper towels) on the brake rotor where the wheel sits, but I honestly don't think it does much. You don't want to leave an appreciable coating on the rotor, so I'd say just do the hub. The nice thing is that a bottle of antisieze is not expensive and will last for a decade or more used like this. Cheap, easy, and super effective. My kind of deal. 😀
Looking at the taillight to show what condition the white paint is likely also in was one of the smartest things I've seen. Total mindblower on that one. Also, following along for that red, yellow, and blue light. I'd like to pick that up if you find it worth it.
Beautiful car. Have Diamond White 2013 with the same Aero Package: The numbers we are told was 16 Diamond White for 2012. They made 26 more in 2013, I don’t know the color breakdown for 2013 nor could I find the number equipped with aero packages. I would guess probably less than 10 total Diamond white cars with factory Aero Package. I have watched your videos for years and have learned much about keeping my unique car collection clean and well detailed.
I have garnered a whole lot of respect for what you do sir. Amazing to say the least. You definitely take pride in your craft. Excellent and pristine detailing on your part.
The 2008-2012 C63 AMG design is probably the best C63 design in my opinion. And to top it off, it's the last design with a true NA 6.2/6.3L engine, staying true to its name. The engine is also super reliable. My brother had a 2008 C63 and drove it daily, never had any issues with it for the years he owned it, up until a truck backed into his car and totaled it. That was a sad day... 😢
C63amg(2012) ,CLk 63amgblk series (2007) , SL 65amg(2009), SLS AMG(2012) are my most favs of all time. Every current gen mercs are having an identity crisis. Old gens uff those were the days were each car stood out timeless Design whoever designed them huge respects❤
I live in Rhode Island and Fluid Flim has literally saved my cars from the junk yard. One of the best products out there. Best cheap defense from all the grime and salt on the winter roads.
Just washed my car with Foam and added the quarterly application of Ammo Skin, now relaxing to this. Looking forward to that Syclone, I always loved those. Thanks Larry!
Man, all those cars in that collection. I know they all look wonderful and clean, but geeeez, I want to drive all of them! They are meant to be driven!
Me and my brother uses some kind of copper spray between the hub and the wheels. Works fine for us, though we change wheels 2 times in a year (winter - summer tire requirement in Sweden).
Always love the WOW moments in these vids, along with the satisying cleaning. The literal WOW moment for me in this one was the side by side of the back tail light. HO LEE SHEET, that was incredible, Larry...
Amazing car! It's funny how the interior, with the exception of the front seats and steering wheel, is exactly the same as the 2012 C250 that I bought for my grandson and paid $7k for!
This is how I found ammonyc/Larry. I was looking for tips to keep my white c63 looking good and came across the black clk63 video that hadn’t been washed for a year or something!
A Car that Needed the Hands Of The GREAT "L" To perform an Absolute Mirror Of Perfection!!! And on a WHITE Mercedes Benz. The Car Look's STUNNING Larry. Something we all wish we had the Talent to do! (And the Facility) to do it in of Course. Great Video Larry. Thanks.
I like a little Never-Seez on the hubs to keep the rims from sticking. It comes in a little can with a brush so it's easy to get the amount you need in the area you need it.
Very well done! You always do an incredible job. I especially like the Barn Finds, before and after 20 years without ever being washed! Stay safe and healthy, my friend!
Watching you go through this car gets me in the mood to do a full detail on mine but I quickly remember I don’t have even half the stuff you use in your videos 😂
Better than a hammer to take off wheels is a large pry bar. That will ensure you dont accidentally hit the wheel. Just make sure to have a loose bolt or nut on to catch the wheel.
Great video as always. To get from that 98 to a 99 I would have had the silver wheel weights swapped over to black. Huge difference on black wheels. Keep up the great work.
