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

@I-Teee Ай бұрын

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 Ай бұрын

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

@309gti8 Ай бұрын

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.

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.

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!

@rjnation5042 Ай бұрын

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

@LVD201 Ай бұрын

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!

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.

@jdogmcnasty1980 Ай бұрын

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.

@Nick210 Ай бұрын

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.

@canadianelementsautodetailing Ай бұрын

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

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. 😞

The Turbo Firebird had the same engine as the GNX

@billyconroy7647 Ай бұрын

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 !!!

@TBendez Ай бұрын

I saw the 0-60 time and was like nope, not possible. But alas, they somehow managed to do it according to multiple sources. The stated 250 bhp isn't enough to do that but it seems as though Pontiac downplayed the numbers.
