As I got older, the look of clean rubber with no dressing is the best look for my cars.

@I-Teee Місяць тому

Funny you say that. I have a “satin” tire shine, I think by Black Magic, that I love the more I get older. Goes on shiny, dries and just gives a clean minimally shined look. Very classy.

@Heyitsallgoodman Місяць тому

I treat it like polish. Goes on throughly and rubbed off

@parkerwrenn8613 Місяць тому

Car pro dark side gives a satin finish I love it

@matthewh271 24 дні тому

Same when I first started my car care journey I like super shiny now I like a more satin look

@RD-io6sm Місяць тому

This has actually opened my eyes to tire cleaning. It's underrated.

@davidt3563 Місяць тому

YES! My first car in 2000 was an 1989 Formula Firebird. I have every inch of that car memorized. I loved this episode, thanks!

I hope AMMO never gets away from helping us non-professional hobby detailers, who may never touch a rare vintage or supercar...

Ohhhh Man, my dream trifecta!!!!!!!!!! GNX, 89 Turbo Trans Am and Syclone!!!!!!!!!! Come on Mega Millions and Powerball,,,,LOL oooops forgot to say that the detail job was excellent Larry!!!!!!!!!!!!

@sebastianlorenzo4935 Місяць тому

typhoon over syclone still I great trifecta

@stevend3753 Місяць тому

GNX, Syclone, or this turbo Trans Am, I’ll take any one and never be happier.

@309gti8 Місяць тому

I appreciated the analogy of black vs white with scratches. For some reason, I was always under the impression that white reflects light differently than black and what’s why the scratches weren’t as noticeable. Now I feel really stupid for not realizing it’s just a different “background” color! I really enjoy your logical yet detailed mentality to detailing.

@michaelm3381 Місяць тому

I've owned fourth gen Firebirds for 24 years and still absolutely love all generations. Beautiful TA!

@jamesdelong6401 Місяць тому

Beautiful Trans am. Yes, sir. That browning on tires can be a pain. I like to use K&N air filter cleaner on my tires. Works, OUTSTANDING.

@gunsnsails Місяць тому

That weekend in June may be cutting it close with my return from deployment. But I'll try and work something out. I can't imagine a better experience!

@Luoay-xc4gc Місяць тому

I admire the way you work that you perform with love and I appreciate every new information that I benefit from when I watch you and I wish you to progress and continue for the better.

@canadianelementsautodetailing Місяць тому

No way I saw this car in the background of one of your videos when you went to pick up a car from your friends garage and I asked you if it’s possible you detail this car, the reason, I had that car when I was 19 years old in Ontario we had two in Ontario and one in Vancouver only three in Canada and I own one down and my favourite memories in cars until today call related to that vehicle, because everybody thought it was a regular GTA it was a sleeper that guy was so fast I loved it. Thank you so much for doing this video I appreciate it on so many different levels.

@nickval5962 Місяць тому

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I instantly clicked. I have a 1990 Pontiac Trans Am GTA in the same white with gold wheels! Its not nearly as mint as this one but I'm restoring it to maybe somewhere close. Great video AMMO!

@kendavis1198 Місяць тому

Love that Pontiac FireBird, a Real Rare Bird it is. Beautiful condition and after the AMMO Treatment, the Sale Price will be at the TOP of the Scale. Nicely Done Larry, If we all had some extra $$$$ just sitting around???? 😎..

@edwardestrella3872 Місяць тому

Thank you Larry for detailing one of my favorite cars. I always loved the Trans Am GTA growing up, however, this anniversary edition is super special, I dream that I can someday detail my car as well as you, If I can do 10% as good of a job as you, I would be happy with the result...thank you for your videos, they're so inspiring and entertaining as well as useful. God Bless you always Larry!

@AMMO-NYC Місяць тому

Glad you enjoyed it!

@luketuttle1096 Місяць тому

Been waiting for this episode since it was mentioned you would be doing in previous episode. Had a 84 Trans Am in high school and always wanted a GTA. One day will get one!

@cthatche91 Місяць тому

Larry, the details are always fantastic! Sometimes more impressive, is that the other cars in your studio not getting blasted with the foam cannon or wash process!

@bryanmccarthy6493 Місяць тому

As someone that builds, restores and inspects classic cars for a living, i have to say great job. I wish anyone even remotely local did half the job you did on this Turbo T/A.

@LVD201 Місяць тому

Watch almost all your videos Larry , big fan. One thing I have always wondered is when you are using the pressure washer on a vehicle in the shop doesn’t the water overspray get on the other car in the next bay? Would some type of curtain you could pull over in between the bays while you use the pressure washer be beneficial? Similar to a shower curtain type setup for lack of a better way to describe it …. Just an idea …. Love your content, keep up the great work!

@carsonfiero4209 Місяць тому

Those rims have got to be some of the best out there.

@rjnation5042 Місяць тому

I'll agree with you 100 percent Larry, I had a 72 BMW 2002, it was a rough daily driver, decided to sell it, had a guy come around & wash it inside & out, then he did a cut & polish, cost me about $1000, damn it looked amazing, sold it for more than $2000 than I paid for it, & that was years ago before older cars went for crazy money, Rj in Oz

@Grant-ut4np Місяць тому

Interesting detail of the Firebird! I need to polish my white paint soon. Please do a lengthy close-up detail of the 1937 Cord mentioned near the end of the video. Such a sexy car.

@joeflyer1 Місяць тому

I bought a 1889 GTA new. White with the "camel" interior. Five-speed manual transmission. The Turbo Trans Am was the twentieth-anniversary model.

@richardrodriguez4114 Місяць тому

I use an old school white wall cleaner from Superior Products and it takes care of all the browning. Best I've used (White Wall 1000)

@stevevlahos5469 Місяць тому

89 GTA was my dream car. The year I graduated high school. 😊

@aiden2392 Місяць тому

Sadly 3000 is a bit to much for me since id have to fly in from Germany, would've loved to take part. Im still grateful for everything you do and the great videos you carefully prepare for us!

@tucksmith8300 Місяць тому

That car looks good

@vermontvermont9292 Місяць тому

One of the best products ive ever used on tires to clean them is a product called incredible pink. Theyre out of maine I believe. Amazing stuff, and you can dilute it for all kinds of cleaning.

@Nick210 Місяць тому

Larry, try Stoners Tarminator. Spray it in a microfiber rag and wipe the tire down. Cleans this waxy type film off tires in a breeze without the scrubbing and the tire is left perfectly clean, ready to accept tire shine, or not.

@jdogmcnasty1980 Місяць тому

Larry, Larry, Larry, the GTA was NOT a base. It was a top trim option. Yes the TTA shared a lot of “looks” with the GTA but it was more a Pontiac grand natl than a TA.

@ChrisLincolnHomes Місяць тому

Cloth Hardtop cars were available but very limited.

@eckes13 Місяць тому

Always love watching you work, I wish I could go to Denver… what advice (besides buying an air compressor) would you give someone to clean out the polishing pads that doesn’t have an air compressor? For the weekend washers…

@timkinley1779 Місяць тому

Dawn Powerwash Platinum, warm water and spin them dry.

@erniearambula3525 Місяць тому

On darker paints after a paint correction and polish the darker paint will shine but with white paint after correction and polish the white paint will have a glow I've seen this with my Alpine White BMW.

I had an 87 Trans Am GTA at 17 yrs old that car was amazing. Surprised I never got a ticket lol not to say I didn't get pulled over lol but knowing the cops got me out of tickets but also means parents find out too lol

@gregoryfranks7347 Місяць тому

this car was based with the upgraded 3,8l grand national by asc. this car supposedly was the same as the gnx. I was working a Pontiac at the time and until the last gen f-body came bueatiful cars looks on a GTA but with a turbo!. cheers

@canadianelementsautodetailing Місяць тому

So in Canada in 1990 I bought one in Ontario for $62,000 Canadian plus tax so it was double the price of a regular GTA because we only had three in Canada and they were only 1500 of them made worldwide and these emblems are made with actual gold leaf

A quick wipe with a cloth using lacquer thinner will clean tires instantly, no brushing or scrubbing. Then apply your favorite tire dressing.

as a detail shop, he could use a mechanic, specifically for completing resto repairs (minor) like the ones he keeps saying he is checking for to report to the owner.

@Gordo101978 Місяць тому

Did they use the same engine as the Grand National or the Typhoon/Syclone?

@AMMO-NYC Місяць тому

Similar engine to the GnX with slightly different heads, exhaust, and pistons to fit the engine compartment.

@erikalarson6803 Місяць тому

No, the 3.8L Buick is a complete different engine that the 4.3L Chevy. They are cousins.

@realbogus Місяць тому

Neat car. The only F-Body from the 80s that I liked. I wish they had a manual transmission for it... notice the Corvette brakes? Also, this was faster than a Corvette!! Oh, and Pontiac engineers were not thrilled to have a Buick engine in their car...

I love how larry thinks of his 2.2 M subscribers that we all know how to polish and are comfortable with one...well that's A LOT of folks to know polishing. Now it's possible but not so likely. Sadly, I messed up every time I have tried..not ruined but just didn't get the results I wanted. 😞

@IanMoone-bl7le Місяць тому

The Turbo Firebird had the same engine as the GNX

@billyconroy7647 Місяць тому

Yes same engine as the GNX/ Grand National, however the heads are different on the Trans Am because the engine compartment is tighter, they took the heads off the 3.8 liter buick leSabre so it would fit inside the TTA engine compartment. All 3 share the 3.8 liter engine, slight changes were made to the GNX and the TTA, all 3 cars are badass cars !!!
