Picked up my new Equinox

Work in progress. This is after washing and claying. Seemed to make the paint a little whiter, but not really shinier.

Ran out of daylight, so continued the next day with a S&W session to remove overnight debris. Applied PwC by hand (work towels) and followed-up with EX-P by hand (PVAs). Used velvet smooth towels to remove all residue.

After, left side -

Did someone say that it was hard to make white reflective?

After, hood reflections, bottles -

Sure looks reflective to me.

After, hood reflection, clouds -

Side panels are reflective too.

Lots of back seat leg room with the rear seat pushed all the way back.

After, Lana in rear seat -

Can`t kick Steve`s seat from here.

After, Cayla in rear seat -

After a long day of detailing, I got stuck in a huge traffic jam on the way home. I was parked in this spot for about 45 minutes.

At least you got stuck behind a black 5 series! How come that van is full of MF goodies? I didn`t know you could use shop towels to apply stuff. I just saw some at Sam`s Club, maybe the terries / shop towels are useful. The Baja Sol`s aren`t working very well.

Oh yea back to topic! The Equinox looks unique but the white looks alot cleaner. But a darker next time Steve! How many cars does he have now? :crazy

Yes, it did give me a chance to really look at the new 5 series. I still don`t like the design of the trunk lid. I`m just glad I was parked in a shady spot. The folks stuck in full sun must have been quite toasty.

Yes, you can use microfiber towels to apply products. Poorboy`s Work Towel worked well with PwC.

I know MF with less plushness / pile can be used to polish... But a Work Towel! Unleash it upon us Steve!

Looked green, quite different. I definitely need some better terry towels.

It`s called a "work towel" because it is a dense and non-plush weave which gives it a little more bite. It does not resemble a traditional shop towel.

Cool. Will it be available soon? Do you think its better / safer than a terry towel?

**Poorboy** · 06-28-2004, 10:46 PM

it`s mf Woob not terry and they are available ..we just haven`t updated them to the site...they are included in the mf kits we introduced this past weekend

Marj, thanks for the help and the great pictures...the reflection of the kids was priceless, and no there will be no kicking daddy in the :moon:

It`s available now, but Steve`s site is still in the process of being updated.

Poorboy`s Microfiber Towels

The Work Towel has a different type of towel than a plush terry towel. Choose the appropriate weave for the job at hand. See Steve`s site for examples of different weaves.
