Hey Kurt. I have a black Equinox that I drive around 6000 miles a year. I don't have the time, willpower, or patience for a full Graphene application, so I did all the prep work and used the Graphene Spray Coating and maintain it with the Graphene Detail Spray. I do it once a year, so that's pretty good!! So wash , clay, polish, wipe, and apply. Here's mine.
