This is a tool that we do not use too often, but we do use it on a car that we have never washed before and 
going to wax or on a very dirty car. We also use it on a heavily bug plastered car too. The main benefit is that you can pre-soak your vehicle with shampoo without the need to touch your paint. This allows the surfactants in the shampoo to start lifting contamination from the surface of your vehicle, which can also speed up the wash process.

In the traditional sense of buffing the answer is no, we do not buff cars. Since buffing requires multi passes with a buffer and multiple chemicals that can not be applied in direct sun light we can not use a traditional buffer to buff your car. However, we can achieve the same affect that traditional buffing does, using a all in one product called HD Speed using a dual action buffer in direct sun light.
HD Speed is a all-in-one correction wax. It’s going to remove light to moderate scratches, swirl marks, while leaving a wax protection behind. It’s easy to use.
It Is easy to apply.
Before you use it you will need to remove the safety seal that is in all our products.
You have many choices of pads you can work with a firm cutting pad. Use a wool pad if you like or a soft finishing pad. It all depends on the type a correction that you would like to make.
You will simply apply four dime sized drops to the pad. Make sure that you put your cord over your shoulder so you don’t scratch the car while your leaning on it.
Rub the Speed correction wax into the surface of the car paint. On our HD polisher set it to level four and turn it on. Always start with the machine on the surface. What you’re going to do for more correction is move it slower across the surface. Very easy simple patterns you don’t need to force the product down on the paint surface. Let it do the work for you. With HD Speed you have a long open working time whether you are outside or inside.
You don’t have to worry about your plastics.
You can SPEED up to use it for correction. If you want to, you can apply it more as a wax. Slow down the speed and it will turn into a wax. it’s just a swipe to remove using microfiber towel in a back and forth motion.
Remove all HD Speed. Now the shine has been revealed, paint correction has been completed. You’ve DONE it! that’s all there is to it.

The short answer is that auto detailing clay removes from the paint what washing cannot. For the long answer, read on! Auto Detailing Clay Bar is an engineered resin compound used to remove contaminants from the surface of your car’s paint, glass, fiberglass and metal.
Clean With Detailing Clay!
If detailing clay is new to you, you might be thinking, “What is detailing clay and what can detailing clay do for my car?” The short answer is that auto detailing clay removes from the paint what washing cannot. For the long answer, read on!
 Auto Detailing Clay Bar is an engineered resin compound used to remove contaminants from the surface of your car’s paint, glass, fiberglass and metal. Detailing clay can be natural or synthetic, though most manufacturers utilize synthetic clays.
Auto detailing clay is similar to the stuff you played with as a kid, but the clay used for detailing is usually much more elastic, especially in the case of Pinnacle Ultra Poly Auto Detailing Clay Bar. The elasticity gives the detailing clay excellent durability as it is rolled, flattened, smashed and stretched over and over again. Plus detailing clay is designed to stand up to the kind of contaminants that your childhood clay never had to face, i.e. industrial fallout, rail dust and brake dust. These contaminants pierce paint finishes, glass and metal and remain stuck on your vehicle through rain, car washes, and even polishing. The only way to remove these pollutants is – you guessed it – detailing clay. |
How Does Auto Detailing Clay Work?Detailing clay glides along the surface of your paint and grabs anything that protrudes from the surface. The particle sticks to the clay and is therefore removed from your vehicle. The surface being clayed should always be wet with clay lubricant to prevent loose debris from scratching the vehicle. Used properly, detailing clay is completely safe and nonabrasive.Its a much better option than polishing to remove these contaminants because clay doesn’t remove any paint.
There are two different grades of clay currently available to the public. One is a medium grade detailing clay designed to clean the vehicle once or twice a year. This grade of clay removes wax along with anything else on the vehicle. We’re talking CLEAN. Examples are Wolfgang Elastic Poly Clay, , and McKee’s 37 Universal Detailing Clay. Your other option is a fine grade that’s relatively new to the industry. It’s called Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and it’s a favorite of enthusiasts who prefer to clay as often as needed to keep that slick finish. This detailing clay removes everything the medium clay removes and it is gentle enough to use monthly or as needed for spot cleaning. If you’re someone who’s meticulous about clean, shiny paint (and who isn’t?!) you’ll love Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay. All detailing clay requires the use of a clay lubricant to prevent scratches as you gently rub the clay on the vehicle. Check out our Clay Page. There you will find all of the different clays and their coordinated clay lubricants. |
What Does Detailing Clay Remove?Your vehicle is under constant assault from airborne pollutants. Brake dust, industrial fallout, acid rain deposits and rail dust all can adhere to your vehicle. These contaminants often contain metal particulates, which accounts for the ease with which they penetrate the clear coat to attack the paint below. These contaminants then oxidize, and they allow rust to spread beneath the clear coat. Tiny orange spots today, total paint system failure tomorrow! Detailing clay removes these contaminants in order to keep the paint healthy and vibrant. Detailing Clay also removes stubborn sap, tar, and bug remains. Detailing clay works wonder on glass as well. Try some the next time you’re washing your windows. You’ll be amazed at the results! |

Just got done paint corrected this 1952 ford F100. Now it has not been repainted in 40 years and is in need of a new paint job but the owner wanted to bring some life back in to its paint keeping it as original as possible.
These are the before pictures. However I did start to clean the truck.
This is no means perfect but 10 times better. The only way to fix this completely would be to repaint.
