FULL DETAIL: McLaren F1 GTR LT (138h detail)

- čas přidán 27. 09. 2016
- This is one of the most intense detailing adventures I've ever had and I was privileged to work together with my detailing friends for the week. Kevin Brown, Dan Miele, Joseph Torbati, and myself, spent 138 man-hours detailing the McLaren for the Quail Concours and eventually won the coveted Spirit of the Qual award. The 1997 McLaren F1 GTR LT "LongTail" is 1 of 9 race cars produced and was shipping from Switzerland for the show. The team and I flew into Monterey, CA the week prior to the event to turn this race car into a concours winner....which is no small task. This particular race car continues to be driven on race tracks around the world despite its 8-figure price tag. We shot this episode in a "TV-style" format and hope you enjoy the length and quality of detailing information we present in this episode. Thank you for watching! -Larry

I always wondered the best way to detail my McLaren F1 GTR LT.
Thats how I do my Scion xB.
My Fiat Multipla deserves it as well.
I asked this question myself when my Dacia Sandero gets dirty...
surely my wrangler will need it before going to moab.... 'Murica
It's close enough to a Nissan Micra
I'll remember these tips for the next time I'm cleaning my McLaren F1 GTR LT
Kristian Niss or u can use them on another car with wheels, paint, interior, and engine
here is a bit of story on it i wrote drivetribe.com/p/S7GvzIGuTyqdys3-eO7rYw/BdqSMaiNQ0y963wu1zeFUg
Corneliu Codreanu you got roasted boi
Reed Seeje shut yo ass up you prob drive a supra
Andrew Do 1. Wouldn’t mind a supra 2. He’s clearly being sarcastic
When you said that the owner wanted to drive it to the show I could only think of you guys facepalming and thinking "ffs"
Same here. I was like wtf? It's like taking the mona Lisa out on the back seat of mpv alongside kids and dogs
No, he's using the car EXACTLY as intended - by driving it.
@@spdcrzy At 35 or 50 MPH? Not really exactly as intended.
Wow, an owner wants to drive their car?
Wouldn’t even want drive that thing on the road you’ll get whiplash from hitting a pothole
Crazy to think this was once a race car. Now it's being pampered for an insane 138 hour detail, to sit in a garage.
Quite sad isn't it? I promise if I ever own this car it'll never look this good. With me, the car will reek of racing fuel, be splattered in dead bugs and caked in brake dust. This is the equivalent of taking a wild animal and forcing it to be your pet that you dress up and never letting it out the house..
Tomanec no one said anything about being road legal? It belongs on a track, not being pampered and carted around to shows. I get it though, it's worth so much and you cannot replace it.
Pretty much what my daily driver goes through as well.
That would be sad....but thats not true. The following weekend it was in Spain racing. As much as everyone one may want to hate on the owner. He is a cool guy that drives, races, and enjoys his car.
AMMO NYC I'm not hating on the owner. Just saying the car is in a weird place because of it's insane value. It belongs on a track, vs caring about it's paint.... Then again if it's wrecked being repair, it's not like you can easily obtain another.
Watching stuff like this reminds me how awesome it is that there are so many CZcams channels producing content with, in many cases, greater production value than a lot of actual TV shows. Cable is dead.
Great!! And the sooner Comcast dies, the better!!!!
Why is Linus cleaning cars?
lol
Because he tried cleaning computers and it didn't go so well.
i came here for this
because TUNNELBEAR
applying what he learned on his lambo
When I started watching this I didn't NOT want to spend 30 minutes watching this guy clean a car
But this video kept my attention the entire time.
Bravo
the owner of that car restored my faith in humanity. A five figure detail job and the dude just wanted to drive it to the concours. Cars like this are meant to be driven.
Sure. How about AFTER the detailing competition. Driving it two miles to the show, after he cut the detailing time by a day, and forcing them to clean it again, is bullshit.
I don't quite see how, as he made this job happen in the first place instead of just driving it.
thats the same thought process i had when i saw a video of a guy doing donuts in grass with a konigsegg. i was happy he was using it and not just letting it sit in a garage
@@godbelow He's paying for it so it's fine. The owner(s) clearly has money.
g0dbel0w - Quote from the video - “But seeing and hearing a full blown race car driving on the street at dawn is something I’ll never forget.” 25:33
If the guys were OK with driving it there after all of their hard work, we should be too.
Jeezus Christ, this is like preparing a car for someone who doesn't have an immune system.
Your editing skills are amazing Larry! Well done!
Obsessed Garage you are amazing :)
he should have had u help him matt!
Obsessed Garage thanks matt!!!!
why even drive it if your going to be such a vagina about cleaning
Congratulations Everyone! Unbelieveable. Larry thank you so much for taking the time to record and edit this journey. You did an amazing job and it's really cool to see a top of the line detail come together and literally reach perfection. Really enjoyed this video.
:)
these guys are true legends Larry is the whole reason I got a job at porsche detailing. fantastic work
I think you mean "whole" dude hahaha
Thank goodness you are detailing cars and not utilizing your grammar skills for a job.
Oh deer I was drunk wasn't I 😂
Lee Ford Dear* not the animal .-.
Wooohooo...got my first thumbs down! I know who you are. LOL.
just assume it someone who miss clicked you never know maybe they need to polish their glasses :D
now you got 2
AMMO NYC phenomenal detailing by everyone in this episode. Loved the extended episode.
AMMO NYC is it chemical guys..? Lol only people I can think of
Best detailing videos on YT!
When it comes to pride and passion in workmanship you are an example everyone should follow. You truly are the man. I have learned so much from your video's and really enjoy using your products
This video is a gold mine of reference material for scale modelers! Thank you so much.
I’m sure you will make one hell of a replica of it. Can not wait to see the video….just sayin!
"without starting from square one." Even Larry can't say "starting from scratch."
This is by far the best detailing video I ever seen! You guy's are amazing.
Such an amazing job. Such a pleasure to watch you all at work.
Larry, your genuine passion for detailing is inspiring. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work.
Larry, you guys did an absolute amazing job!! Words cannot describe.
Thank you
Thats how my mom expect's me to wash my room!
you wash your room?
wtf you wash your room!?
wash or clean 😂😂😂😂
What a beautiful machine. This vehicle is truly a work of art. You guys did one hell of a job getting that car ready. Just found your channel a few weeks ago, really enjoy learning from the best now that I'm getting serious about detailing. Thanks for sharing, great video!
Thx for watching!
Integrity in what you do, whatever you do. Thanks for the awesome video guys. The McLaren F1 is my dream car since I was 6 (just like many other people) and I clicked the video mostly to watch the car, left the video inspired to be the best in what I do (architecture) just like you guys in your field. Once again thanks!
Just doesn't get any better than this, your passion and professionalism with everyone involved with this project is inspiring.
No matter what the subject, I'm always fascinated with watching someone who is at the pinnacle of their craft. This particular car happens to be my absolute favorite when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I had to watch one burn at the 12hrs of Sebring. A sudden rain hit the track and everyone was tip-toeing back to the pits to put on wets. One of the Mclarens spun and hit a rail, rupturing the fuel tank and catching fire. The driver was fine. I think I was actually more upset about the car than was driver and crew. Great job on preserving a functional piece of engineering art. Great video and thanks for the upload.
Best detailing video made.
This is all.
Thanks for posting this vid, can tell how much heart and soul went into it from a guy who just loves cars, well deserved award!
Simply the best video of the channel. Amazing!
Thank you!
WHY WOULD THE OWNER WANT TO DRIVE IT AFTER ALL THIS DETAILING WORK? :/ couldn't he have just waited till after the event? Amazing work Larry, you're a BOSS!
The master is back at it again with a new, high class video! I mean all 4 of them.
fuck supreme my nigga
Banging on my chest, you already know.
NFSU2Mihai lmfao BANGIN ON MA CHEST 😭
Thank you for caring after this gorgeous piece of automotive history.
Great episode, excellent story-line. Good editing, so worth the week spent in works on this episode. Thank you, Larry.
Well done... Dream car and the best detail in the world on the best car you could ever dream of owning!
Honestly I think it should be a disqualification if you didn't at least drive the car to the show (within reason). I don't think garage queens should be allowed. These are cars, they are meant to drive. I salute the McLaren owner for actually driving it!
A lot of these cars aren’t road legal... so he broke a lot of laws by doing that
@@Nopenotatall as you saw There were no other cars on the Road so i think they were closed
lord tachanka 25:51 cars drive by
@@Nopenotatall false. stop spreading lies. he did not break a lot of laws by driving it there. it was clearly stated the car is street legal.
@@furhadnasserjah123 You are the one who is wrong-at 29:07 (or so) the announcer states that the car is not road legal, and the owner (who shipped the vehicle from Switzerland) cannot drive it on open roads while he’s in the United States.
Why don’t you stop bothering people?
it is unreal the amount of love and dedication you all project! Your level of professionalism is unmatched! Love your channel and sometimes its overwhelming with all the polishes and waxes and such but I LOVE IT!
After all these years in the auto body industry I’ve just now realized how profoundly important and how much of an art detailing a car is. Your videos are insanely interesting and entertaining. Keep up the great work.
Just ordered some of your Ammo Reflex and Ammo Skin. Thank you for the code, LOVE your videos your the whole reason why I've gotten into car detailing. I'm really looking forward to finally trying out your products!
:)
so the car won the award for its design, engineering etc, not the detail, shame after all that work
He still got paid tho
Actually the detail is judged.
The best detail is completely invisible and leaves only a beautiful car behind. An award at this level is because of the detail.
Simply amazing! A true art form what you and your team do Larry.
What a master piece. You guys are not only extremely patient and meticulous, but are very lucky to be able to work on such a rare beauty.
Congrats to everyone! Timeless beauty!
This inspired me to detail my '92 Daihatsu Charade. Just 16 more payments and that baby is alllll mine hahahahaahaaa
thank you for this tutorial I was able to detail my Mclaren Hot Wheels car. This video is really educational! thank you a million times!
This video is so satisfying to watch, it's rare to see masters of this calibre at work. Thank you to AMMO and the whole crew.
Joe! You are the man! So glad to see he's working on such an awesome machine!
Great video!!! I always love watching these extreme detailing techniques & get excited to try them on my own car, then I remember that I have a 10 year old Subaru that is my daily driver & it's just not worth it. Hahaha.
HawkeyeSTiGuy always worth it lol
Especially if you got a sti, keep that shit looking clean bro lol
Best video I've seen on CZcams
THANK YOU!
possibly one of the best detailing videos that i've ever come across. Well done Larry, i can only imagine what an experience it must have been!
Amazing car. Excellent programme. Professionally shot and edited. Very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you and congratulations on the award.
Ammo & Gang : Spends 148+ man hours detailing everything on the car.
Owner : I want to drive it 2 miles to the show on some dirty ass roads.
Ammo & Gang : Am i a joke to you?
A true $40K detail job =)
was it really 40k?
no
That thing is worth 14.000.000$~
I thought it'd cost more than that, tbh. (the detailing fees)
Well, 138 hours, and let's just roughly say it was $50/hour, that would translate to a $6900 job for just labor. I have no clue how much they charge per hour, but you also have to figure the bill would also include logistics like airfare, lodging for a week for 3/4 guys, and I would believe that the bill would be north of $10k very easy, but also very worthwhile. When you have a 8-figure car that is a 1 of 1 rarity, every penny of a quality detail is worth it for such a prestigious event.
LaswellB Couldn't put it better.
I love the longer videos! you can really see the start to finish of a project!
Hats off to you guys! Congratulations and respect! Beautiful job on a truly historic car.
To dislike this video is to admit that your soul may be broken and irreparable.
lol
Dunno about irreparable, but certainly unappreciative of hard work
When it comes to cars that were actually raced I prefer the "worn" look over pristine.
repairdrive but your not a concours judge, so your opinion is irrelevant
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Internet+Troll
It certainly had a worn look. As you can see in the video some panels were cracked and the paint was damaged as they have been worn out. All they did was cleaning the car.
repairdrive pretty sure you’d change that opinion quick if you actually had the car
Great work Larry,
Much Respect to All who where involved, you all done and amazing job,
absolutely stunning really great work!!! Thank you for taking the time to teach us all something.
Finally a video :D
You have to have the best job in the world. You get to see some of the best of the best cars around, sit in them and make them look better than when it came off the showroom floor.
I sent you an email like a week or so ago. I see why you haven't responded now. :)
Hey just call the office. Happy to chat
Topaz Detailing did a video on a 120 hour Enzo detail, they showed the mechanics of it all, but this is better because you're, more importantly, describing the whys and hows.
Thank you!
No problem. Learned so much from your videos. When my 17 raptor shows up, definitely placing an order for your stuff.
Could watch this video a thousand times!!!
Great job guys! Thank you for all that you do to improve our industry
This is exactly how I detail my Schwinn Debutante every weekend
Schwinn man myself too. 2011 Discovery hybrid.
1:37 looks clean to me..
That's why it's called detailing...it's in the details :)
Amazing segment, I love the longer format. Great work by you and your team to make a beautiful piece of engineering stand out from the rest.
This is probably my favorite video on your channel Larry. Your work is truly inspiring!
#cupgang 27:51 guy with camera
Ayeeeeeee Lamborghini!
hit it, pedro
LLLAAAMBOORRGGGHHIIIIIINNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I think that's pedro
Hold on now.................seems the car could be dirty and still win this award????? Award seems to have little to do with detailing???????? Am I off the mark?
Great job was done, guys!
So many new things I've learned from this video, its awesome!
And last one important point - you do a right job! thanks for this video
Of all of Larry’s videos, this is always a treat to watch. Hope to see more McLaren F1’s on the channel.
Larry great vid, Q: Who played the guitar music at the end and what was it called?
Brian Kavanagh it's part of a Bach suite performed by Matthew Anderson.
Driving sports thanks
Driving Sports TV FTW Thanks
Do you guys detail Honda Grom's?
Best. Episode. To. Date. Well done Larry. Congratulations to you and your team!
You sir are a true master and a problem solver. Congratulations on the award!!! My offroad vehicle gets treated to some of the methods I've learned from your videos and all my friends think I'm crazy for worrying about the paint of an offroad vehicle.
27:50 CUPGANG i see you lol
But did you remember to empty the ashtray and give the door jambs a quick wipe down?
a racecar has ashtray? k
Awesome. Woke up in the middle of the night here in New Zealand, saw this had just been posted and couldn't help but watch it.
You really did put the 'Detail' into detailing with this one.
Great work.
Wooohooo, love these videos. Well done guys. Car looks awesome. Please do more! Happy to wait 2+ months for content like this!
ery very nice....and the number 1 question on everybody's minds...how much does a job like this cost?
$25000
blizzak454 I can get the same results in 6 hours and for 250 dls 😆😂😂😂
viperz888 how do you know? if so that's less than I expected for a car of this magnitude and rarity.
+Terrence Chapman I've had stuff like this done before
viperz888 damn bro.... #LifeGoals 😭😂
After watching this video, I had the urge to clean my car, but after seeing the state of my car... I let it go!.
Unreal! The finish is flawless. That is the most elite detailing I've ever seen
Incredible attention to detail. You sir are one of the best detailers in the world. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us.
How in the hell did I arrive to detailing car videos
Well, you chose the right way!
Same way I did, by chance while looking at something else, but got some tips and know this car.
Seems odd to do something like this on a race car since they don't usually have super high quality paint jobs
Congratulations Larry! And the rest of the amazing crew!
Amazing work guys! Your work is an inspiration for detailers all over the world.
I agree with a few of the comments. Seems mad to have you guys detail the car, and spend so much time and effort for it to then be driving to the show. No matter what you guys charged im sure its not going to be an issue as the car is worth $10million+, but to have you guys (some of the best in the detailing business) detail your car I would expect that he would want to win something that would involve all your hard work? If im wrong please correct me, but did he change his mind last minute on driving it?
He wanted to drive on US roads since he is not American. I would have done the same thing. He is a fun dude.
Ah fair enough, dont get me wrong im a massive supporter that cars should be driven rather than just a display piece. Just seemed a strange plan even though it must have been amazing hearing that car driving on the road 😊
ammo you look like stephen wonderboy thompson
Ha...you mean the guy I beat up last week? HAAAAAAA (just kidding. If you are reading this. Dont hurt me please)
hah i love ur vids man. never stop making them
Wow. Didn't think I was going to sit through a 30 minute video about detailing a car but it was so well produced that I couldn't stop. Well done by everyone involved in this and fantastic job done with the car!
Awesome Larry. You guys didn't stop smiling from start to finish. Top job as always and many congratulations 👍🏽👍🏽
Apparently 87 people drive scooters.
Have to say...seems like a bit of a selfish owner to drive it before the event after all the work you all did. I worked as a detailer for Ferrari years ago and knew this type of person, sadly. I am happy for you all, obviously, but just wish you didn't have to deal with those unnecessary moments.
I watched this video a few times and this car still gives me goosebumps
Just saw this entire video to motivate myself to do a detail right away to my weekend toy ride. Thank you so much Matt, for all the help we get from you.
And always thumbs up, you´re de the detailing king. :)
Larry, why do you keep ignoring the huge motorcycle community, man? When are you going to do a video on the specifics of motorcycle detailing (how to get to the tricky spots, what products suit the different materials, what areas to avoid rinsing and how to protect them, etc)? Come on!
Watching your work is a process of healing for me man. For some reason the process of making a flawless car is so therapeutic. Much respek!
I cried at the end. This is too beautiful.
Motor edutainment at its very best. Congratulations on a well-deserved victory gentlemen!
These videos are amazing. Awesome seeing the pros work !
By far my favorite AMMO video, great job Larry and team!
Congrats! awesome video and priceless tips for the detailing crews out there. The power of OCD pays off once again.
Great job. Always professional and all of your videos helps my drive to make every car look the best
