Disaster Detail First Wash in 10 Years Jeep Cherokee XJ

- This is a lost Jeep Cherokee XJ that was found in Texas by Bob Sorokanich, Deputy Editor of Road and Track Magazine. You are probably asking yourself why someone with access to pretty much any car in the world would want a 2-door Jeep Cherokee. Turns out this was his dream car since he was a small boy which he explains in the episode. This car was found somewhere in Texas in a barn find situation. He bought it sight unseen and shipped it back to NYC for a complete disaster detail and restoration. The paint needs major compounding and polishing and the interior was disgusting, so cleaning with a shampoo machine and power drill brush was necessary. Afterwards I applied AMMO Reflex Pro and revealed the car to him in the AMMO Studio a few weeks later. (We were delayed by a major hurricane in CT with no power for 8 days). Hope you enjoy -Larry Kosilla

I’ve got a 4 door. Love it. Mine is a lil bit rustier than his.
exactly what I want
You know a detailer is a badass when he continues a detail through a hurricane
Nothing like a new Ammo NYC episode
Just so casually "yea so i mean we're in the middle of a hurricane right now but its chill anyways a tree just fell outside let's lather the door" 💀
I'm from Florida, so that seems sort of normal...
@@YaGottaBeKidding I’m from gulf shores Alabama so yes you’re right lol just another day just windy
@@YaGottaBeKidding 3xcept hurricanes have been avoiding us the past couple years
@@mazda_rt24-p I think my perspective is a little different than yours. Like I'd said, I am from Florida. I was born here, my dad was a Conch, and his dad was a rum-runner in the days when they still sailed. (I really am a son-of-a-son of a sailor, from Key West in the old days. And, true to form, the sea's in my veins. The tradition not so much.) So, that seems sort of normal...
Surprised he wasn't like so first I coat it with ultra polish mega foam wait about 5 minuets before driving into the eye of a hurricane for that good good rinse
That "told ya" was perfect cut! You should do this more often! Kudos to the editor!
Wasn’t expecting to laugh so hard during this video 😂
Hold up. Can you go back to the guns knives and drugs part. I wanna hear those stories.
FYI: This video would have been posted earlier but @3:00 the original music was "flagged" and I had to replace it with the current one you are hearing. Long story but this was the YT replacement. Ugg... :)
Love your vids! Helped me a lot and my Jeep 97’ TJ!!
I rather like the chiptunes...but to each their own. Glad you didn't get a proper takedown :D
Next time, just remove the music 💀
I see a big generator in your future. Luv these type of restorations. Great work as always.
This was filmed 3months ago?
That is essentially a Holy Grail to a lot of XJ lovers.
I’d love to mod it lol
@@DmDetails hi 5 minute ago guys
I have a XJ Wagoneer that I paid $1200 that’s in amazing condition. It’s beautiful.
@@goldenrakelawncare6564 oh hi 18 seconds guy
I know right, it’s my holy grail due to being so similar to the first one I detailed, my grandpas was so similar, and they started my love for 2 door cherokees
Again , XJ'S are going to go up even more in value...getting harder to find
Major, easy to find clean, no rust builders I Arizona. 80° this December week.
@@cebusam7545 they are all rotted out here wtf
I know a guy who bought a 98 model xj with 58 thousand original miles it needed some tlc but it's clean
@@cebusam7545 i’m in az and i have a 2 door without a single rust spot
i’ve got a 4 door 98 SE with no rust 201k miles it was a kentucky state vehicle before i bought it at an auction for 600$
The level of commitment. "There is a hurricane outside, let me keep detailing this jeep."
I have so much respect for you, Larry. You’re a perfectionist. I can’t wait for the GN video
Same here✌✌
Me too. Can hardly wait for the GN video.
I agree. You run such a professional outfit, from your business to your videos. Incredible man!
This is a vehicle that needs a comeback. I freakin love these 2 door jeeps, man.
I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to get a straight, white hood for a Cherokee
it’s not believe me.
If you got a $100 you got a new hood
@Eric Zamora I wish. Nobody makes em
lmao
The problem is that jeep made terrible brakes, and most of the salvage jeeps have front end damage. Makes it hard to secondhand bumpers and lights, too
I hate waiting for content, but this is the only channel that never disappoints.
"As I continued vacuuming the tears..." - Ouch! BTW You do amazing work with such attention to detail.
The car that I first ever cleaned like in depth when I was like 12 or 13 was a white 2 door Cherokee, that car was why I got into cleaning cars and made me want to become a detailer
For the exterior parts, satin black gives a much more pleasing finish than matt in my humble opinon.
I agree, looks more OEM.
yeah, matt black makes it look chalky
I like matte for the wheel arches, but the grill I agree on.
he ruined the original plastic with that paint, the front grill and fenders and everything else will soak up any plastic conditioner or back to black or 303 protectant and look great
yeah I wasn't a fan
I love your channel because whilst it isn’t the most ‘satisfying’ to watch on TH-cam, you’re very clearly focused on preserving the vehicles and not on how many views you get on TH-cam.
Note to self: never drink chocolate milk in the Ammo garage
lol
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Didn't get your comment at first, but it clicked after watching for a few minutes
Lmfao😂😂
I have a 87 XJ. Love my Jeep! versatile and easy to work on. Great job saving this one Larry!
You can make any car in the world, being exotic, rare, or insanely costly, look absolutely beautiful. It's a different feeling to have a car with sentimental value behind it. My uncle had imported his 2000 Jeep Cherokee and gave it to me, and it came with a 3.5 inch lift, a factory NV231J, and the most beautiful interior in the world. Even a small little touchscreen radio that was held in by nothing but glue (it came loose quite a bit ago) due to the small screw mount breaking off. It has a beautiful red door, a nice sound, and in general looks great. I've been trying to get an NV242J for years now, and finally found someone willing to ship it over so I can finally have All Wheel Drive for the icy winters. It's a struggle though, as it's impossible to find an industrial torch, and where I work they won't let me borrow them.
Larry, you are truly a detailing magician! Thanks for educating us a lot about what goes into detailing a vehicle in the truest sense. Keep doing what you do & look forward to more videos - Cheers!
Oohhhh a new episode. Love all the content Larry!
not reallyyy
@@puer1153 yeah he is faking it
@@arsenalplayer9075 The episode part ???
BTW love ur vids
Great job, Larry! It brought back memories of a buddy’s dad’s manual 2-door in red. Never thought it would be sought after, but nostalgia does funny things to people. 😁
Rabbit holes everywhere with the level of perfectionism Larry has.
THIS IS SO EXCTING FOR ME ! I LOVE watching your videos , it calms my head . I’ve always wanted to detail vehicles.
I purchased a 2 door XJ during Covid closure snd completely restored it . Less than 2 weeks ago it was stolen and trashed . The paint was rattle canned and destroyed but I’ve been itching to bring it back to life. My XJ is older than me - this is THE EXACT MODEL I have
Thanks Larry. Not only do I find your videos entertaining but educational as well. I truly appreciate your explanation of why, and how, you do things.
I had to laugh when you said, " going down the rabbit hole!". I have been there many times and end up having to do way more work than I thought I was going to have to do 😩. But each time is a learning experience.
Thanks again ✌️👍
Thank you!
I love your stuff man! It’s helped me and my 1997 Jeep TJ!
There's a whole channel about washing cars. After 3 videos it occurs to me that I'd rather watch someone washing their car than wash my own car...Great channel!
Once you get a Jeep, you’ll always have one. My dad had a 1996 grand Cherokee while I was growing up and it was so much fun. As soon as I got the chance I purchased a 1992 XJ Cherokee (:
That spray down of the roof was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen in the last month
Would have been a lot easier if he could take the roof racks off.
There is an entire Reddit r/ dedicated to powerwashing.
I doubt you'll ever see this Larry, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you do for this community and being such a positive shining example of dedication and effort and hard work. The world definitely doesn't deserve you, but we absolutely could use a million more people like you. I've watched everything you've posted for years and will continue to do so untill you call it quits, then I'll watch it all again anyway. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Awesome video, love these type of projects, and I am so happy to hear that you made it through the hurricane with minimal damages and loss! Stay safe can't wait to see the next video.
Can’t keep my eyes off that MINI GP3. 🥰
Me too! But I might be a bit biased
Same.
@@TheMINIVlog Was this 3months ago?
For some reason there's so many where I live. I've seen like 5 different ones on multiple occasions since they came out lol
@@_IMNNO Yep, roughly about that time.
For any of the 2 door xj lovers, in NYC I’m selling my 96 2dr XJ. It’s automatic and not in the same shape as this one but never the less, it’s a 2dr xj!
This is on another level.. wow! The fact that you put as much effort and attention to detail (pardon the pun) into an old “cheap” car as a supercar, really shows that it’s about the cars and the love that people have for them.. beautiful.
This was so satisfying and uplifting once it was done 😍 Thanks again, Larry!
love the 2 door XJs!
That's a good looking Jeep, now.
Standard brilliance as always.
Larry is a true inspiration. His dedication and attention to detail spills over to all aspects of life. If it"s worth doing, it's worth doing right. AND he plays hockey. Car!!!
Currently watching this for the 3rd or 4th time. Like Bob, I love the XJ Cherokee and have previously owned 4 or 5 since high school. The 2-door manual is at the top of my list of "dream cars". Excellent work as always!
Larry! My friend is a Postman. Has this body style, but is a Right hand driver from Japan. Even Japanese writing under hood.
Just needed to polish the front lights. Love the shape of that car tho.
After becoming a pro detailer this year i have never been able to relate more with you Larry. That crazy OCD we have that we just want everything to look perfect even if it takes working more than 12 hours a day, only a few have that gift/ curse and i have mad respect for you because i know what kind of hard work this takes. Absolute hats of to the true o.g detailer Larry Kosilla.
With you. My last detailing job I kept getting yelled because I was doing too much looking for perfection.
Edit: I wasn't damaging things, just spending more time than warranted for the service level purchased.
Started detailing 2 years ago. Have improved alot from the beginning. Watching someone bring a used vehicle back to life. Is cool! Haven't gotten into clor correction yet. Except using a compound by hand to bring the color back. It works but takes a long time to do. Covid slowed my business down too. Shawn.
Never clicked so fast in my entire life where my XJ owners at
On my second XJ. 1995 2dr, 5spd, 4wd..
I got 2
Green ‘99 4WD (4 door... required to convince my wife)

00’ black 280k miles. Hopefully getting a 3inch lift soon
Cool Jeep for sure. But I like my MINI GP3 in the background a bit more!
Amazing. Larry you are such an incredible person. Paying very close attention to every minor detail. You care so much for your clients. I’ve been to some detailers who claim to be the best but no one is nearly as great as you. Other detailers ignore stuff that you take time to do. Like the mouse droppings in the headlights. That would’ve been ignored by so many others as they would say “it’s not my problem”
Larry, I've watched dozens if not hundreds of your videos over the past few years. They've always been informative and entertaining. Since you've moved to your new building, you've been knocking it out of the park! Your new videos are even better! The cars are interesting but the work you do is amazing. Much as I dislike hand washing my cars, you've inspired me to renew efforts and see what I can do with some tired paint and rubber. I'll be using AMMO products as I need all the help I can get.
Larry's deep cleaning face he makes is why I'm here
the way you read that love letter had me rolling LOL. really cant wait to see the GN rescue. keep up the great content Larry 10/10
I'm a big fan of the XJ style Cherokees. Nice video. There is something so therapeutic watching something get cleaned like that.
Absolutely LOVING the new garage setup! You look so much more comfortable and at home, great work!!
This was my first car, 2 door, stick. Lost to a tragic rear ender. Still have the shifter...
That’s a beautiful car, got to drive around in one for a bit, lovely
That music is painful to my ears
I'm convinced this channel produces the best videos on all of youtube. Professional, well-made, entertaining, educational and satisfying all at the same time.
This Jeep legitimately looked better than mine. I got a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country Sport Utility 4D for $875. 330K miles, maintenance records dating back to 2002. All the mechanical components were in nigh perfect condition, but the previous owner hadn't cleaned the car once in his 20 years of ownership. The interior and exterior were absolutely filthy. I've been working to pull all of the grime out of the carpet for two weeks now. Hopefully things continue to improve! It's looking much better and I'm absolutely in love with this car.

Did anyone else hear the Jeep go "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" when he finished? lol
Thats what makes you and your videos great, Larry. You put as much effort into a sentimental jeep as you do a $3 million dollar hyper car.
First video of yours that I have watched, but I love it! I own a 99 XJ 2 door with the 5 speed, great, simple trucks. Love the amount of effort you put into this. Thanks from a new subscriber.
18:26 Love that!!!
Best part by far
😂
Friggin gold!
8:33 Imagine giving that to someone saying it's coffee
This is why I love your vids. Your meticulous ways and narration is top notch.
First video watched from your channel. I love this! Also love the fact that you test the surface for bacteria. Never seen that before. Definitely subscribed
I have a small detailing bussines , and i also more love to detail cars with some sentimental value.
Shouldve removed the seats. Especially with mouse droppings present.
Same thought, other car detailers would detach the seats. Maybe it's too much work.
I love the XJ, absolute beast of a car. It came out really good even with the hail damage.
It is just awesome watching Larry working and learning from him!
Not sure about the matte paint on the grill. A satin would have been richer and have the same sheen as the rest of the black trim.
Totally agree, love everything but the grille. I would have done the same treatment as the wheel trim, with a rejuvenator, not paint.
@@samroesch yeah he may have been able to get away with that, though the grille and headlight surrounds were pretty beat up. I find that foaming tire cleaner works really well at hydrating plastics to look new again. Lasts for a few weeks. Good if you need to sell the vehicle without spending too much effort.

That was incredible work. I've watched a few of your videos in the past but never subscribed. I clicked the button for you. Thanks for the tips that you provided.
Great job restoring this classic! My parents had two of them when I was a kid, one with a manual, the other was a Pioneer edition with an automatic. Both had the 4.0 I-6, and lasted over 300,000 miles. These are such awesome vehicles.
There’s always 2-door XJs on the road here in Georgia. 🤷🏿♂️ Also, the real interior detail guys use steamers to decontaminate, you should definitely invest in one.
he has a steamer, he just prefers to use other methods. he used in the video of the old race car in storage video. (sorry, forgot the name of the car)

Sorry, I was trying to parody a quote lol. Got the name totally wrong.
Having worked at Toledo Jeep Assembly and on the XJ line for much of my 35 years there i find this video very satisfying.
Knocking out those unintended details that are exposed by the intended work is the mark of a true professional.
I thought you'd have removed the seats and maybe even removed the carpet. Especially after seeing you remove the centre console.
I guess it wasn't in the budget
I loved this! Just a question: I'm curious as to why you didn't take out the seats to clean underneath? Was it not possible? Or not necessary?
It usually depends on what a customer pays. Like how much time should go into it or not. I always think taking seats out is a good idea for detailing. But true detailing should be tearing everything apart inside and out to detail what u can't see. Example: he took the headlights out and junk was underneath
Some don't for liability reasons. If they miss a bolt or don't torque it right they are liable. I think he's mentioned this in other video's.
@@EGGINFOOLS that's a good point I hadn't thought of
@@EGGINFOOLS He's taken them out on other projects. I'm guessing that, being an SUV he just had reasonable reach without removing them. It may be that the carpet is going to be replaced, so the extra effort was less worthwhile... lots of variables.
this video is amazing as usual great job. This warms my heart and wishes that in every town there would be a Ammo Detailer guy . this is beautiful
Love the "i told you" part.... had me dying of laughter. Keep up the great work!
As amazing as this is, I’m curious how much a detail of this level costs. That’s A LOT of labor.
I actually got a detail of the same level done they take like $60-$100 which isn’t bad at all
@@boseth_hewawaduge This detail is at least 10 times that price buddy
@@iceman5321 yeah a full paint touch up, buff polish everything. And Interior detailing and everything. This probably costs 1300$-2000$
When you update your car with Ray Tracing
I love the old Jeeps! A tip from hurricane land: A generator is worth its weight in gold for times like those, just gotta make sure to run it every month to keep it from gunking up.
Hey man! I’m a young guy with dreams and ideas of having my own detailing business. But I just don’t know where to start. I love cleaning cars. But I’m lacking a few necessities to really get started. But your videos help me out so much. I’ll watch them day in and day out. Just learning everything there is to know. Your content is absolutely amazing!!! Keep it up 👍🏼
Invest in a Generac full building generator. Yeah the installation and costs suck, but you lost 8 days of work due to no power. Would have paid for itself!
Got one at my house and my wife's whole family came over to shower and eat when we lost power during a bad ice storm. We were watching satellite TV and living like normal. They are awesome.
How tall are u? U just cleaned the jeep roof without a chair or somethin
I've always wondered if those jacks the car is on can't also go down a few inches to help with cleaning the roof
I love how Larry puts in 100% with every car he works on, regardless of how much it costs. Incredible dedication and price in his work.
Love these videos, I like clean supercars as much as the next guy but these videos are so much cooler to see the transformation and how great of a detailer you are.
It seems so hopeless that one can do this himself. Let alone trying to find a shop as amazing as you. Now what?
