Finally got all the products to take the 2014 Chevy Equinox to the next level. Any before pics wouldn’t look much different, especially being silver and I try to take good care of it anyway. I just wanted to really enjoy the process and use the skills I’ve learned from this community. Mike Phillips, Yvan Lacroix and forum member articles, posts, and videos have been awesome. Keep the great stuff coming.

Here was my process and some pics.

Scott from Dallas Paint Correction is right...the Purple Power Vehicle and Boat wash appeared to take everything that was on the paint with it. Foamed it on and gently agitated with Meguiar’s wash mitt.

I don’t know if I could ever own a show car...nervous to take it out of the garage. :laughing: I’ll enjoy it until Michigan winter returns.

Looks good and you don’t own a show car the show car owns you!

Glad you had FUN while taking
this vehicle to the next level.

After all, IMO:
”That’s what it’s all about”.
