What’s the dirtiest car you’ve ever cleaned? Perhaps a junkyard slag you’ve hauled out of your local spot needed some shining up, or maybe your daily driver was being neglected and needed a proper detail. What about a car that’s been left to sit in the woods, what would that look like? Larry Kosilla from Ammo NYC has found out because he just detailed a 1994 Eagle Talon that’s spent the last ten years tucked away in the trees.
The owner has relocated to the Caribbean and wants to export this car down to the islands so that it may once again be properly enjoyed. To start the process, the car needs to be extricated, cleaned, and then repaired. Larry’s in charge of the first two parts, and he sets in for one hell of a job.

It’s a job that includes the removal of many critters, both living and deceased, and a decade of mold and grime accumulation. The finished product is remarkable, and it shows that Kosilla is a true expert of his craft.
That’s nasty.
One time when I was home on summer break from college, we had a family friend stash his neglected S-10 pickup in our driveway for a while, and having no real hobbies at the time and a couple of days to kill, I decided to give it the full detail treatment even though he hadn’t cleaned a thing in the five years he had it.
It wasn’t abandoned, so there weren’t any vermin to deal with, but taking a vehicle from neglected grossness to showroom clean (or as good as is possible in a used S-10) is an intrinsically satisfying experience, at least for me.
