Im not questioning the individual- have a learned from his videos. However, his products are pretty pricey relative to my default Adam's products. I'm a chemist and IMHO much of the car care product industry is very similar to the supplements industry with unsubstantiated claims veiled in psuedo-science- just wondering what folks think about the performance of his products vs less boutiquey brands.....

Real. I ordered interior leather cleaner and conditioner from AMMO NYC a while back and used them on my previous car and current M2. The products are quality.

But remember that the M2 comes with Dakota leather. This is a coated leather, and to clean you're just supposed to wipe it down with a moist cloth. You can't really treat or condition it, as the coating prevents the conditioner from penetrating the leather. |

Is this the case? I was using Chemical Guys cleaner on it. All prepared to do a leatherique round in the spring. I'll back off and just use water then.

Definitely the real deal - both the products and Larry himself. Larry's just great and always very helpful.
Regarding the products, Boost, Reflex and Skin have been working wonders in the deep Swedish winter; with road grime, freezing temperatures and a lot of salt on the roads over here. So has the M2, for those of you afraid of using it in the winter months. |

I use Reflex/Skin on my M2 as I have on my previous car. I let it go for 6 months after applying and it didn't seem to be failing yet before I sold the car. So I will keep using Reflex/Skin until they run out at least on this car as it gives great results.

I would say his end result on his videos is great, but his methods are a little strange sometimes (doesn't necessarily mean bad or wrong).
I personally haven't used AMMO NYC products, so I can't attest to them, but Adam's are the standard for off-the-shelf premium detailing stuff. Unless you're doing some ceramic coatings, or need to cut the paint, Adam's is hard to beat. |

hey guys,
bumping this thread as I have recently stumbled on ammonyc for the first time. My question is when to use rinseless wash vs hose/two bucket method. The frother and rinseless products sold by ammonyc intrigue me. JR |

It's the route I'm going with my M2 as it seems the safest. As far as when to use I think it depends on the level of clean you need, if a rinseless doesn't remove everything then of course switch to hose/bucket (or if you're 100% rinseless let the stuff soak and keep it wet) |
