This guy is an asshole to the owner. Piece of shit is making the owner
defend himself.
Obviously this car needs way more attention. You can easily save that
paintjob, treating the rust, small dings and really bringing back the
chrome will take far more work than what this guy did. I would’ve never
steam cleaned the car, the rubbing on the paint with dirt leaves tiny
scratches, I know he mentioned those, but why not replace the seals and
just clean it properly. I get it’s a 912, it’s a good find, I certainly
would love it, but take time. Last thing I would’ve worried about was tire
shine, properly cleaned wheels need to be removed from the car.
This is a BASIC, very BASIC “restoration” tons more needs to be addressed,
I wouldn’t have wasted this car on a basic restoration tutorial.
Larry,
I think your paint meter is giving you readings micrometers or something,
not millimeters (mills)
You’re reading 4000…
0.001mm = 1 microns (1 micrometers) = 0.00039″ (~4 ten-thousandth”)
No way in a million years that paint on the porsche roof is 4mm thick.
0.4mm more like.
Holy negative guy…. “The seal is shot, theres fur on the car, the door
sticks a bit…” whatever go back to the showroom.
Lol barn finds forza horizon
I still don’t understand why he didn’t just hose down the car. What does he
mean he didn’t want to get any water in the car?…
Is there any other shows like this? I love this guy who does Drive Clean, a
great voice and keeps me interested all the way through the episodes. I
want to see more programs similar to this, does anyone recommend any other
restoration videos/channels?
Rupes to the rescue 🙂 ..nice video! hopefully more will follow
he seems angry every question roger asks .. he need to smoke weed
i was kind of expecting some attention to the engine or other mechanical
parts… they literally just polished the car O_o
I hate American cunt scum. Why wear your sunglasses all the time it’s
bloody rude cunt.
For a car in that state, you’d be better off removing the wheels and a lot
of the trim and clean them all separately. Gives you a chance to get under
the car and clean in properly.
So nice to see a professional at work .. so many butchers in the automotive
business these days.
awesome vid : )
anyone who talks shit on larry is an idiot.
Maybe he should take his sun glasses of he might really SEE better what an
ass
ever since I found Larry’s vids, my car has never looked better. And as far
as people saying he does this or that wrong, if he didn’t know what he was
doing, would he be trusted to touch a $2,000,000 Ferrari? Or that 1 of 143
AMG CLK63? Think I’ll listen to Larry, and not some youtube keyboard
commandos.
Larry, I would have liked to see the polishing phase after the
compounding… Did you use sealant + wax or just sealant?
That guy who opened the garage is annoying.Sounds like he’s trying to sell
the car to us
Wow! This video is a piece of inspiration. Clearly demonstrates true
passion and the human element in alignment and the synergies that transpire
from that. It doesn’t matter if you’re washing cars or the CEO of a
Fortune 500, both are just as respectable. If only we all took to what we
truly love to do and pushed to perfect it. Would love for you to share
more of your personal and professional story!
please rename this video to clean and detail a barn find, not a fckin
restoration.
Need a “better” steamer if you want to wash cars with it, that way it
doesn’t take forever.
what can i say. this is just Beautiful.
Blows steam on it the rubs it. am i the only one here thinking that hes
damaging the paint more? could have blowed the car with air first atleast
Why are there so many keyboard warriors commenting on this video. Larry is
a brilliant detailer who works on several million dollar cars, with many
repeat customers, a global fan base, his own product line, and several
million views on his youtube account.
If you can do a better job. Prove it.
A car is only original once. The more careful the better.
at first i thought the tags said “1 BALLER” haha
this ammonyc guy is such a fucking toolbag
CAR BARN FIND: 1966 PORSCHE 912!
Thank you very much! We really enjoyed this episode!
just give it a repaint. almost no 911s or 912s have original paint. because
it looks like shit after a while.
Green always looks good on antique euro cars!
that interior condition/quality is porn
“larry, what are we going to do with the tires?”
Well, buy new one you moron.
เพลงไทยสวกล
he reminds me of the dad from full house
The paint is awsome its soo clean the car is amasing!!
This is a great video. This detail guy is ridiculously good. Sooooo
detailed with his explanations.
take a hose and hoe that fckin car for god’s sake. Putting tape on it just
scratches the car more.
Best color combo they offered, I’d absolutely love to call that 912 my own.
Great job you’re doing, this is love!
Larry is the best on the net. Absolute joy to watch him do anything to a
car. I love the passion, the knowledge and the joy. I get wicked stoked
just watching him, I want to go clean my car.
I wouldn’t do more than 40mph with those tyres, after all those years they
are not safe…
wat a dumb ass dats probably 50 years of dust he just washed off that he
just destroyed the true value
Yo asswipes in the comments, who do you think knows more a pro detailer who
works on million dollar cars and whos whole philosophy is to clean and
protect paint, or some non pro detailer commenting on a yt vid. He knows
what hes doing.
I would change the seams then you could of washed the car. I know
collectors like everything original on classics but come on how many
classic cars have original brake pads? None? You have to change some parts
to keep the car practical even though it is a classic in my opinion 🙂 lol.
nice car ,it’s a luck to find a car in this condition, but it’s a car
washing video not a restoration
how many micro fiber clothes do you go through on a normal clean of a
regular car? Wouldnt it get expensive?
