@@SWFCite 40$ delivery, I'll go with Chemical Guys for now. He should sold on maniacauto, it's pretty much the biggest detailing website here. They are aimed at premium products too so he should fit in pretty well.
When you said 19 years since it was registered i thought of the 90s....when i saw 2001 it blew my mind, feels like 01 is only 10 years behind us not 19
You too? My brain is stuck in the mid 2000's. I was very offended when someone recently called my '04 xj8 old. I, and my car, could not have aged that much; have we?
From a fellow 944 owner in NYC, congrats Kevin! Happy to see that junkyard-bound cars like this 944 are being saved and can potentially be cosmetically restored with the right tools, technique, and care. After all, it's a Porsche! Would be an awful shame to see it scrapped or parted out.
Larry I'm so glad you mentioned not using a razor blade on the rear glass because of the defogger strips. I can not tell you how many times I've run into people saying just to save time that's what they use. It's completely cringeworthy conversation.
To be honest, I always thought those defogging strips went inside the glass, like laminated between two glass sheets. It's never occurred to me that they are just laid on top of the glass surface.
It amazes me that anyone would dislike this video, let alone go out of their way to click the button... The man donates 3-4 days of his time, effort, and expensive products into a Charity auction car and you dislike that ? Wow. Amazing transformation, and another generous gift from AMMO NYC !

Hey larry, just want to say thanks for all the videos. My dad just handed me down his beloved car, a 2011 CTS. It meant a lot to me because it was the first nice (very lightly used) car he's ever bought in his entire life, and the newest car I've ever owned by a wide margin. He's not the best on detailing by any means, more of a "drive thru car wash" kind of person, but I appreciated the fact that he handed the car down to me so much that I wanted to do right by it. Just spent a few weeks studying the absolute hell out of your videos and just did a full interior/exterior detail on the car. Was an absolute joy and the black paint reflects like a mirror now. Much appreciated, I hope you realize how valuable these videos are to all your viewers
I’m a year late and I’m similar to your father in regards to the “drive through the car wash” but I’ve been studying this guy as well and I’m about to purchase his products to do a full clean on my car.
It’s videos like this that restores my faith in humanity. People really don’t understand how much time is worth, and to donate time to restoring this car for a good cause is commendable. Good work AMMO NYC, you guys are great
This was an awesome story. I’ve donated a couple of cars to charity and it always feels very good to know that the funds raise (be it a little or a lot) will help people in need.
Hey I knew that you are a great car detailer for a long time, but now I realized that you are a great human being too !! I am really glad that guys like you are really around !! Great job detailing or otherwise, God bless !!
My father and I just finished restoring one we bought for $800 cause the owner didn’t know what he had and when we fixed everything turned out the car had only 36,000 miles and we just got a red one to restore with 18,000 miles, watching this vid made me so happy
Ted Sirlouis yes, the red ones owner passed away at a young age and his dad kept it outside his house for basically the rest of his life, and the black one was no used much and was still owned by the original owner
Art Vein mostly everything that had rubber on it was replaced re painted had to get new coils, fuel pump and new radiator and hoses Car wasn’t really used much so mechanically it wasn’t bas, but the interior was a night mare

I have to say Larry these kind of video’s are my favorite! To see very dirty or old/forgotten cars get cleaned up and restored makes my day, please don’t stop making these!
Great job guys.Kudos to you for all the hard work, and especially for doing it as a donation. It REALLY is all about giving back, in any way that we can. Being in the auto body business for 28+ years, and remembering that car as I was in high school at that time, this one was enjoyable to watch. I also loved the one with the old red Benz. Keep up the great work!
@@04dram04 well the childhood was OK but starting at 16/17, damn it was hard. I wish I had someone to talk to about girls, and life but as a male. I grew up with girls only so that didn't help either. Seeing friends having a laugh with their father always broke my heart
Can’t believe this hasn’t got more likes, it’s both informative, interesting and inspiring. It’s re-enforced some of the basis approaches I use on cars 1% of the value of this car

In 1985 I entered highschool as a freshman. I saw the 944 cars and fell in love with the styling. Later in life I met a friend who's sister ( Stevie Nicks) bought him a 968 for his birthday..a huge gift he really cherishes that car.

What a great video Larry! Also it looks like Kevin is probably the best owner that car could go to. Hoeing there will be a follow up video for all the work that's being done by SST
Really cool! Had multiple good experiences with donating cars to Kars 4 Kids. They were very pleasant to work with, and my research found that they do good stuff with the money.
This video inspired me, I am also a detailer and I just emailed this charity asking to detail a couple of their cars. this is such an amazing idea, thank you!
Seeing Chris and crew steaming, shampooing carpets and vinyl, and making old leather new again is incredibly satisfying. I love cleaning things, but this is truly final form boss level.
My first experience with a Porsche came when I was a kid. My uncle owned a silver 944 and I remember him taking me for a ride throughout Oakland. Sped through the hills, on the freeway, up highway 80, cruising around Berkeley. I fell in love with that car and to this day, Porsche is my favorite car of all time.
@Nickhead87 that's what companies that make these products led everyone to believe. But beads are just standing water waiting to evaporate and leave water spots if not removed
Man this is like giving life back to a dried rotten corpse !!! So good to see a nice 944 back to its glory. Have always been a big lover of the 928 and 944, both great cars and great looking. Well done again Matt on bringing a classic car back to its glory. Your skills are unbelievable.
Amazing video Larry. Hard to believe you could actually bring this 944 back from the brink. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! You are one of the true MASTERS of detailing my friend. I would be PROUD to own that Porsche 944 after you gave it the "Larry & AMMO NYC touch". One of my dream Porsche's is the 928. Ever since seeing Risky Business at the movies when I was in High School, I immediately fell in love with the 928. I've always wanted one since that very day. I'd love to get one in mint condition now days. Maybe someday. Even if I found one in poor condition and had it brought back to it's former glory! I know a lot of Porsche guys/gals are all for the air cooled Porsche's, and I love those too, but there's just something about that "wedge" shapes of the 928/944 series that I really like. I think because it reminds me of the 70's and the "wedge" car era like the Triumph TR7 that a friend of mine drove in high school. Take care Larry. Looking forward to your next video!
One of the things why I like these guys is they try to fix and restore correctly. I have watch other so called channels and they just buff the crap out of a car so it looks pretty to just sell it.
Carsten's Clean Cars: It was a great video, especially being it was a 944. You might want to take a second look at how "great for the kids" it actually was. Very few people know that all the money donated to this organization goes to providing Jewish kids the ability to go to summer camps back east. I'm glad these kids get to go to camp but why not include all needy kids the same opportunity or at least be honest enough to convey where and to whom your donation will go.
Awesome. Just awesome. Larry and his team, the charity, just anyone who has had a hand in bringing this car back from the brink. Kudos. Karma is a wonderful thing.
Hi there - new sub here from the UK here! Just want to say that I *love* the content. Super professional and extremely addictive viewing! Love the Kars for Kids initiative too. Can't wait to see more!

Hey Larry I really enjoy watching your videos your detailing is of the highest level and to put that effort in for charity shows that you have big heart all the best from Australia mate.
The first car I owned was an 1982 944 that I bought in Germany in 2001 while my parents were stationed there. It was a problematic piece of beautiful crap, but man did I love it. Video really brought me back. Thanks.

LARRY! I love this video!! I love that it was a donation and yall went above and beyond for that beautiful car! This is the reason I watch your channel, things like this where you do something that means so much to someone. Love it
What a great video Larry! Also it looks like Kevin is probably the best owner that car could go to. Hoeing there will be a follow up video for all the work that's being done by SST
Did that jack scratch your new garage floor?? I noticed it scraped along the driveway
7:30 LMAO
You guys are good people and that turned out amazing!
This was the first Ammo NYC video I saw and I am so glad I found this channel.
Really cool! Had multiple good experiences with donating cars to Kars 4 Kids. They were very pleasant to work with, and my research found that they do good stuff with the money.
This video inspired me, I am also a detailer and I just emailed this charity asking to detail a couple of their cars. this is such an amazing idea, thank you!
Do NOT engage with Kars4Kids. They are a scam charity.
It’s called “shell crazing” it’s a aerospace name for a similar condition on aerospace components!
I felt like I needed a mask just watching this.
Mike A haha me too!
RS1 it's the origins of Corona virus
Same🥴
Seeing Chris and crew steaming, shampooing carpets and vinyl, and making old leather new again is incredibly satisfying. I love cleaning things, but this is truly final form boss level.
My first experience with a Porsche came when I was a kid. My uncle owned a silver 944 and I remember him taking me for a ride throughout Oakland. Sped through the hills, on the freeway, up highway 80, cruising around Berkeley. I fell in love with that car and to this day, Porsche is my favorite car of all time.
Would love to hear what was needed to put the car back on the road.
Sheeting is “better”, prevents the dirty rain drop spots
Yea, "sheeting" is the new "beading"! Lol.
Arcade Sunday yes but actually no
@@virusboy07 yea, hence the conundrum. Who's right? We'll never know! Lol...
@Nickhead87 that's what companies that make these products led everyone to believe. But beads are just standing water waiting to evaporate and leave water spots if not removed
Nickhead87 It can when a product, when fresh, causes beading. Less beading means the product is diminishing.
Amazing Video... Any chance we can get an update when the car is running and driving?
Yea I'd also like to see the progress on this car in the future. I guess we'll never know, but let's hope the new owner gets it going.
I'm actually the new owner ..I plan on uploading a 30 minute update video in about a month
@@bilbobaggins4710 Amazing, thank you.
The Executioner good for you! Congratulations and all the best.
@@bilbobaggins4710 ah, that would be amazing.
I love happy endings! Great job everyone. Nice storyline. Car looks good!!!
Hope he gets many happy hours in it.
Man this is like giving life back to a dried rotten corpse !!! So good to see a nice 944 back to its glory. Have always been a big lover of the 928 and 944, both great cars and great looking. Well done again Matt on bringing a classic car back to its glory. Your skills are unbelievable.
Congratulations for the cleaning and for the donation of your time!
Mannn this car brings back so many memories, i remember my dad had the same 944 and i feel in love with it!
go merry her
Beautiful restoration and save from the junkyard!!
Awwww so sad kid l
Lost my dad in 95. I watch these vids because of him too! 💜
Amazing video Larry. Hard to believe you could actually bring this 944 back from the brink. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! You are one of the true MASTERS of detailing my friend. I would be PROUD to own that Porsche 944 after you gave it the "Larry & AMMO NYC touch". One of my dream Porsche's is the 928. Ever since seeing Risky Business at the movies when I was in High School, I immediately fell in love with the 928. I've always wanted one since that very day. I'd love to get one in mint condition now days. Maybe someday. Even if I found one in poor condition and had it brought back to it's former glory! I know a lot of Porsche guys/gals are all for the air cooled Porsche's, and I love those too, but there's just something about that "wedge" shapes of the 928/944 series that I really like. I think because it reminds me of the 70's and the "wedge" car era like the Triumph TR7 that a friend of mine drove in high school. Take care Larry. Looking forward to your next video!
I'd love to see him driving it after it is done and in working order, if you can get a video of that, then it would be that much more awesome.😁👍
My grandpa owns this exact car and I got to detail it just the other day! It didn’t turn out as great as yours but it looked good
I feel like such a dork, happy that the brake finally released at that moment.Great video :)
Love the story that you tell with your work and the cars you feature, thank you Ammo NYC.
One of the things why I like these guys is they try to fix and restore correctly. I have watch other so called channels and they just buff the crap out of a car so it looks pretty to just sell it.
7:30 lmao................. love this video, well done on the detail guys
Itay Rozenstein I had a solid laugh hahaha.
So cool and great for the kids
Love your videos I want to have your job one day
Carsten's Clean Cars: It was a great video, especially being it was a 944. You might want to take a second look at how "great for the kids" it actually was. Very few people know that all the money donated to this organization goes to providing Jewish kids the ability to go to summer camps back east. I'm glad these kids get to go to camp but why not include all needy kids the same opportunity or at least be honest enough to convey where and to whom your donation will go.
@@bartbutkis less than 1% actually goes to their "charity" of running day camps for ultra Orthodox kids.
Aww, when the right owner showed up, he loosen his wheel for him in pure joy i think
Awesome. Just awesome.
Larry and his team, the charity, just anyone who has had a hand in bringing this car back from the brink. Kudos.
Karma is a wonderful thing.
Hi there - new sub here from the UK here! Just want to say that I *love* the content. Super professional and extremely addictive viewing! Love the Kars for Kids initiative too. Can't wait to see more!
Posche Gods thank you so much for taking back to life to one of their sons ..:D Awesome job...and for a good cause
Ahh when i hear that intro it takes me back years ago to the DRIVECLEAN days😥
I wanna know how much he had to spend to get this up and running.
Will there be a second video?
I guarantee it didn't take much to get the engine to fire up, these things are resilient!
I want to know also.
I'm hoping Larry puts up a second video covering the engine detailing and restoration work.
and then we'll find out.
Looks alot of work
That is a beautiful car. You worked your magic. I may have to get some of your products for my little shiny black Accord coupe.
Awesome video for an awesome cause! I feel proud of the WELL SPENT time watching this video. I learned a lot. As a Bettle Owner, Porsche are part of that evolution, i am super pumped. Thank you for what you do!
“Incredibly dry and thirsty” why did i die from that 😭😂
When you put lotion on a car seat because it’s thirsty
Man these disaster detail videos have blown up lately, I see them everywhere! But nobody does them like Larry, that's for sure. 👍👌✌
You sir have an amazing skill for detail, and passion, keep it up the good work!!
Hey Larry I really enjoy watching your videos your detailing is of the highest level and to put that effort in for charity shows that you have big heart all the best from Australia mate.
You guys do such incredible work!
I would love to see the update when this car gets running again
This was awesome. I love these stories. The 280sl still my fave. Would love to know it’s status as of now. Great work. Thx ammo
The first car I owned was an 1982 944 that I bought in Germany in 2001 while my parents were stationed there. It was a problematic piece of beautiful crap, but man did I love it. Video really brought me back. Thanks.
Great job for a great cause! And, everyone pitched in! Really great to see!
