AMMO NYC Product Reviews – What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)
AMMO NYC has the branding and YouTube presence—but how do the actual products perform? We break it all down here.
Whether you're a die-hard Larry Kosilla fan or you're just researching detailing supplies, chances are you've come across the AMMO NYC product line. It's clean. It's pro-looking. It's got cinematic how-to videos. But is it actually worth the money?
This full breakdown covers the top AMMO NYC products, what they promise, how they perform in real-world conditions, and which Jimbo’s Detailing alternatives outperform them in cost, results, and ease of use.
1. Foam Paint Cleanser vs The Super Soaper
AMMO’s Foam Paint Cleanser creates light foam and is marketed as coating-safe—but it often underdelivers on actual cleaning power and dwell time.
The Super Soaper delivers ultra-thick foam, better lubricity, and stronger cleaning on coated and non-coated vehicles.
2. Reflex Pro vs Tough As Shell
Reflex Pro is a complex wipe-on ceramic coating that demands perfect prep and technique. Results are solid—but it’s not beginner-friendly.
Tough As Shell is a spray-on ceramic coating you can apply in minutes, with real protection and deep gloss across multiple surfaces.
3. Shag Fabric Cleaner vs Complete Cabin Cleaner
Shag is a one-purpose interior cleaner designed for cloth seats and carpets. It works—but it’s limited.
Complete Cabin Cleaner is an all-in-one product for fabric, plastic, leather, vinyl, rubber, and screens. No streaking. No residue.
4. AMMO Tire Gel vs All Dressed Up
AMMO’s Tire Gel provides a wet gloss look—but it’s greasy, can sling, and only works on tires.
All Dressed Up offers a satin/matte finish with zero sling and works on tires, trim, engine bays, and interior plastics.
5. AMMO Mud – Gimmick or Genius?
It looks cool on video—thick, dark, mysterious—but it’s slow, hard to apply across a full car, and not very effective in practice.
Use a pre-soak and thick foam with The Super Soaper instead. It’s faster, safer, and proven.
6. Smarter AMMO NYC Alternatives
Instead of juggling a dozen niche bottles, simplify your setup with modern, high-performance options:
- The Super Soaper – Foam cannon soap that clings and cleans
