GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

Had my windscreen replaced, now have an intermittent eyesight fault, not sure if it needs calibration or they’ve put the non eyesight screen in, don’t think it looks right but can’t find a photo where i can see the old one properly 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Car is in for a major service today. Sat in the sun when I get a call saying my brakes have seized! Going to see if they can get it running again so I can take it home and bring it back later this week to have pads and discs replaced. I knew the pads would need done in the next wee while but never expected them to need a mallet to get the calipers off. How long til payday? 😔
 
Today saw more SFOM Show preparations! Having already completed the engine bay and stripped the tyres back to bare rubber (using Carpro Retyre) on Monday and valeted the interior on Tuesday, this time it was a 3 bucket maintenance decontamination, including Citrus pre-wash, full body de-Tar and Iron removal. Car was covered o/c and am currently waiting for the sun to drop so that I can apply 'P&S Bead Maker' and let it cure under its cover overnight. Tomorrow I'll probably get the tyres coated with 'Carpro Darkside' and buff up the alloys, which leaves Friday for a further glossing with 'P&S Dream Maker' before dropping the car off at the showground on Saturday afternoon ready for Sunday's event. Honestly, this will probably be the last time I put so much effort into preparing for a car show - it's exhausting!
Update: That’ll do until Saturday Morning after drop-off. Super schlickkk.

I'm hoping tomorrow will be warm but overcast as my car is in need of a good clean and maybe a coat of Soft99 paste wax
