Dirtiest Car Ever! First Wash in 20 Years Lost Pontiac Trans Am Rare 455 HO

This has been one of my pet-preservation-projects over the past few months. I wanted to create what I feel would be a fun "TV show for YouTube". This was shot over 9 days, 1200+ individual clips, and obviously a ton of car detailing disaster work. For whatever reason, the idea of rescuing or "preserving" a car for someone else to enjoy and rebuild is incredible satisfying. Anyhow, this is actually one of the dirtiest cars I've ever worked on which created a few interesting paint washing problems. The paint was so rough from sun exposure that the dirt was incredibly challenging to clean or remove from the surface of the paint. Likewise, Joe told me later that he has a few extra body panels in his garage that he and Buddy can use for the rust repair stage of the restoration. This was definitely the first wash in 20 years, but well worth the effort. Hope everyone enjoys! -Larry Wheel repair shop: www.proformanceindustries.com My website: www.ammonyc.com Products used in this episode: PAINT SOAP: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/ammo-foam-paint-cleanser/ PAINT COATING: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/ammo-reflex-pro-pre-sale/ WHEEL & METAL COATING: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/gelee-pro-wheel-metal-coat/ INTERIOR CLEANER: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/ammo-lather-interior-cleanser/ CARPET CLEANER: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/ammo-shag-fabric-cleaner/ INTERIOR BRUSH: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/small-interior-brush/ SCRUB PAD: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/scrub-pad/ MICROFIBER TOWELS: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/microfiber-towels/ WHEEL CLEANER: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/ammo-plum-wheel-cleaner/ WHEEL SOAP: https://www.ammonyc.com/product/ammo-brute-wheel-soap/ PRO FOAMER: https://ammonyc.com/collections/tools/products/ammo-pro-foamer For more how to car care videos & full product line: http://www.ammonyc.com Carpet Brush for hand drill: https://amzn.to/31F2PKL Rapid Adhesive Remover: https://amzn.to/2WcuOjN Mini Shampooer: https://amzn.to/2W7swlT Headliner Adhesive: https://amzn.to/33Ts9Ox Window Squeegee: https://amzn.to/2BAcE1X Induction Heater: https://amzn.to/2N4YUBF Festool Vacuum: https://amzn.to/33PuKJk Steam Machine: https://www.ammonyc.com/shop/steam-machine/ If you’re a car fanatic like me, click the link below to be notified of my latest AMMO videos, products, podcasts, website promo’s and to take our quick Detailing Survey! http://eepurl.com/dOZ6yb AMMO Formulas used in this video: https://www.ammonyc.com/ Recommended products and tools approved by AMMO NYC: Grit Guard & Washboard https://amzn.to/34d66m4 Stanley FatMax https://amzn.to/2Pr0iRM Rupes Paint Light https://amzn.to/2JxzGuD Clay Bar https://amzn.to/2NmWkXP Wash Mitt https://amzn.to/330wYWc Invisible Glass https://amzn.to/2PrCNrN Megs D300 https://amzn.to/2BUnXSQ Foam Applicator Pads https://amzn.to/2MVU7U6 Foam Gun https://amzn.to/2PEgNub Wheel Woolies https://amzn.to/32YhGBx Tar Remover https://amzn.to/2pYK6ga Tire Gel Applicator https://amzn.to/2MVcf0o Festool Vacuum https://amzn.to/31Vv6wN Rupes Bag https://amzn.to/2PulLcw Positector Paint Depth Gauge https://amzn.to/2JwqOpf Mercury Spray Bottle https://amzn.to/2PrFRnN Masterblaster https://amzn.to/2C4Rt8F CR Spotless Water Filter https://amzn.to/31Y7DuW Black Wow https://amzn.to/2PtG4XH Megs M205 https://amzn.to/2JwrNpr Gorilla Gloves https://amzn.to/36k2ZLg Long-handled Window Scrubber https://amzn.to/2JyxZgJ Loew-Cornell Fine line painting pen https://amzn.to/2JMhPAz Fight Tech Dust Mask https://amzn.to/34bPZVR Carpet Brushes https://amzn.to/2qQiWIx Subscribe to AMMO NYC for clean cars: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMMONYCdotcom Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMMOnyc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ammonyc/ For more product info: http://www.ammonyc.com/ If this video was helpful, please give us a THUMBS UP!
