I'll be updating this post when I finish with the interior and engine compartment. I don't have a D/A or a rotory, so everything's done by hand for now. On to the pics.
Engine - Used Meguiar's APC and various brushes. Dressed with 303:

The tint isn't all around, as if some was removed. Plus it was going purple. We'll get it re-tinted, but the shop wanted $90 to remove three windows worth:

As you can see, I have more to do with the rear glass:
Well that's it for now, but once I finish the interior and engine, I'll update the post with the pics. Thanks for looking. - Adam
