These Are Our Favorite Ammo NYC Car Detailing Videos

Listen, just because you love your car like it was a large metal child doesn't mean that you also love keeping it clean. That's me. I hate washing my car. It's miserable, and I avoid doing it way more than I should.

That's why I love watching Larry Kosilla (aka Ammo NYC) and his detailing videos. First, it guilts me into washing my car but also it shows what you can do even with an imperfect car. So, in the spirit of detailing inspo, here's a list of Jalopnik's favorite Ammo NYC videos.

In this video Larry details a very unloved Porsche 944 that had been donated to that one charity with the name (and jingle) that mustn't be named. This thing is horrific but the results are pretty stunning.

This van is basically an antique-filled superfund site and the cleanout of all the artifacts that the owner, Olie, has acquired is almost as satisfying as the detail portion itself. 10/10, would recommend.

Everyone loves a barn find, and most people love a Buick Grand National, so this is a match made in hell's counterpart. This car was found in Columbus, Ohio with 56 original miles on it, and while we would never condone not driving an awesome car, it's pretty exciting to see this thing get the love it deserves.

This one technically isn't an Ammo NYC video, but it's a classic Larry and we have no choice but to appreciate it. Bonus for it being a short-wheelbase Porsche 912 in "the good color."

Who doesn't love a disaster detail and flip? Plus this thing — in addition to being a killer BMW — has amazing patina. We'd redo the interior, hot rod the mechanical stuff and leave the exterior as-is.

Countach sounds like an Italian swear word (it almost is one, tbh) and like precisely the kind of thing you'd say when looking at this amazing and valuable classic supercar in this condition. Of course, Larry knows the recipe to get it looking as good as it can without restoration and it's one helluva transformation.

People seem to absolutely drool over the 993-generation of 911, and while I'm generally pretty lukewarm on all the normal 993s, this C4S is a one hell of a thing, especially when you consider that it's only got 1,100 miles on it. Aside from the fact that not driving it seems criminal, it's fun to see these cars in this condition.

There is nothing — I repeat, nothing — cooler than a Camel Trophy truck and seeing one in this kind of original, as-raced condition is incredible. Obviously because it's a British SUV that had been used hard, it's in rough shape but the work Larry does here to bring it around is amazing and I'm already looking at old Discos on Craigslist, damnit.

This is one of Larry's most satisfying details, not only because this little red Pagoda is a gorgeous car, but because we get to see the owner's reaction to seeing his car clean for the first time in 37 years.

Our fearless Editor-In-Chief Bob Sorokanich is one of those weirdo Jeep fanatics that we all know. His particular addiction is to the XJ-generation Cherokee and once upon a time he bought this white, two-door barn find example out of Texas sight-unseen and had it shipped to Larry for its first detail. Sadly, Bob no longer owns this lil guy, much to his chagrin.
