Customer stopped by our shop one day and after looking at how great all the cars looked, he wanted us to give his `47 the same treatment. Customer really wanted the paint looking better than it was without having to paint it. With it being an all black car, I knew this was going to be right up his alley of an improvement. Since I had won the HD Clink`n`Brag thread, i got a box of goodies from them. Which combined with the HD products I already had...I could do a full job using one brand of products. Decided this would be a cool car to test that out on.`
`
Everything used for this job from HD.
`
Wash - Chemical Guys Citrous Wash`
Clay - DI Clay Block
HD Touch - Clay Lube <---- Amazing product. I will be buying a gallon. Works great as a clay lube, but also as a quick detailer. Cleans quickly and leaves a nice finish with no residue.`
HD Adept - Cutting Step <---- Great AIO product. Can double as a cutting polish and as a AIO polish for 1-Step really hard clears. Leaves almost no dust and a great finish. Great gloss as well.
HD Polish - Polishing Step. <---- This product has been out awhile. One of the best finishing polishes, great for 1-Steps as well. Only down side is its dusting.`
HD Metal - Rim Polishing <---- Great metal polishing. Cleans up medium stains with ease and leaves a great finish behind.`
HD Glass - Windows <---- Amazing glass cleaner. I think the vinegar in it helps. Will be buying more of this stuff.`
HD Dressing - Tires <---- Good dressant. Need to test on more than just tires. lol
HD Poxy - Sealing <---- Been out for years. Still using it. Says it all.
`
After the car was inside and cleaned up, ready to get corrected. Got some pictures of it. Black was looking pretty dull.

`
After buffing on them with HD Metal, they made a huge turn around. They looked 100x better in person. HD Metal cut really well and left a great finish behind. Topped with HD Poxy, the metal looks great.

`
After cutting with HD Adept, finishing down with HD Polish and sealing with HD Poxy, this paint looked amazing.
