Final product... I didn't get to wash the windows yet due to some of the lubricant/wax getting on it but damn it is so shiney and soft

Looks good. What did you use? If you have dirty windows that don't come clean, I believe you do compound and polish to clean. Then you can seal it so it will last up to a year About to do it here soon.

Synthetic clay bar and then sonax wax. I used it all with a dual action orbital with speeds varying between 1-4.

I also did overlaying with the wax. The only reason I didn't do the windows is because I ran out of time but I'll be doing it tomorrow. Nothing is stuck but there is some water marks from the spray bottle I was using to apply the lubricant

My car has had a coolant smell for a few months and I discovered a very slow leak through the join around the side tanks so I bought a new 42mm alloy radiator on ebay..Needed a bit of moding to fit but worked out well..

I noticed that someone gave me this when I went to Philz yesterday:

So I did my best to clean it up for now:
