“People who don’t like cars are insane.”

Yup.

[infinotize]

As a DIYer and not a pro detailer, who also has to leave my car outside, I accept that my car isn't going to be perfect but do want it to be protected from degradation over the years. I don't have a polisher so it's good to know it's worth doing a coating and that I get a minimal polish-like benefit from that alone. Thanks for the video.

I have a small detailing side gig. Whenever someone asks about a coating and I give them the price they always say "how much"??? I have grown tired of explaining that you have to polish out the small swirls and scratches before putting what amounts to a thin layer of glass over it. Most are shocked when I put the light on their paint and show them what it really looks like. This is a great video, enjoyed it!

[Matt-plbr]

I love the 1 second long clip showing you torqued the wheels properly. Your attention to detail is unmatched. 😂

[ferrari]

Larry, thank you once again for the kind words. We love refinishing those sticky parts to like new condition. StickyNoMore

I would say the water beaded the same on both sides but the polished side the water slid off much easier

[der_kluger_gunther]

there's something special about black paint on a ferrari, and this looks insane! of course awesome job as always and yeah, there's nothing better than hear a ferrari run on the road <3

Larry is the goat when it comes to detailing content. Amazing craftsmanship that I respect. Hard working lad.

[lolWhatAboutHandsNow]

I appreciate all the different lighting, angles, and camera heights you did when comparing the different sections/control areas; as each variation by itself typically did not independently conciliate your objective- but as a whole they made it impressively obvious the benefits/differences. 👍

Fun Fact: The man who designed the F430, Frank Stephenson, also designed the FXX, Maserati MC12, McLaren P1, Mini Cooper (Reboot), Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Fiat 500 (Reboot), BMW X5 (First Generation), and more!

Kevin Brown is the best, he has answered the phone and helped me as well! The Yoda of paint correction.

[kottuning]

I had sticknomore do all my 458 buttons and 2.5 years later there still perfect. Those guys do a great job!

If you role a towel and put it in the back window when it goes down it helps with the creases.

Thanks for the shoutout again, Larry! Absolutely beautiful work on your behalf, as always! -Tyler (SNM)

P.s. - all of our personal vehicles are coated in reflex pro II. It is by far the BEST coating we’ve ever used.

[RD-iosm]

Yeah. It's been debated for some time now. It's trickier to market a coating without polishing because in order to get the paint clean, you're likely to put some scratches in during decontamination.

That being said, if you're taking the DIY route and don't care about any scratches and just want the car to be easy to clean, then yes. Wash, claybar, iron decon, waterspot remover, and slap that coating on.

[wingzeroceramics]

Hi Larry, as a fellow paint correction specialist, those circular marks may have been from an old school paste wax pad and someone used traditional “hand motions” to wax on wax off literally, and the applicator pad may have had some dirt or debris under.

It's just ridiculous how good that thing looks!!! I really love your channel Dude!!

About 5yrs ago, I drove an F430-F1 at Exotics Racing in Vegas. what a blast!! Wanted more laps, but....$$$. Drooled at a Red 458 there too. Ill be 63 in September, but i even got in & out of an Aventadore under my own power! 😅☺️😜

[stephenlouden]

i coat many brand new cars without polishing. If customer isn't paying for polishing and wants coating im not going to say they have to polish it because they don't. plus you're saving clear coat so when the coating wears down then you can then polish and reapply coating... remember, the more you polish.. the less you can polish in the future.
