After 4 hours of washing, polishing then waxing this is the end result, done the whole car this time :p
Need to get another clay bar, the roof is in dire attention to be clayed!
Also need to get some scratch remover to fix the whole paint job, the polish and wax bring them all out :(

Copy/paste from another forum..

Okay, update time!
I noticed that the carpet around my battery was pretty damp, a common problem for VN-VS sedans was the rear 1/4 windows leaking as they use no sealant, only a gasket type thing that degrades over time, pictures will show this.

Nice and clean now, laid on some glass sealant and put it back together.

Finally got my deadener and 12 gauge cable from Coinslot Enterprises, big thanks to Sorin bringing it down for me, I really appreciate it man :)

Good work on the polishing and window seals. Well worth it.

Cheers man, I'll have to tackle the other window some other time as extra insurance!
Tonight I'll get started on the deadening, need more expanda foam too... ;)

Added a picture of the actual deadener, oh so shiny! :D

Got started on deadening last night after dinner, 10:40PM-2:30AM, worth it!
Pictures of deadening, used one sheet and done most of the outer and inner skin, pro tips and opinions? :)

MOAR audio updates for the close followers (and other people who look but don't comment, you know who you are!) ;)

Final box design is done thanks to a very good friend of mine who owns a audio shop, hoping to start building Sunday/Monday, details are as follows for who know audio stuff :p

9 cubic feet net after port, subs, bracing and round over displacement.
Removable port for daily and competition use, daily tuned to 32Hz and competition will be above 40Hz.
10" aero port, the box will be about 200mm from the tailgate which should be plenty of breathing room.
3mm thick steel to be laid around the whole box including rounded over in every corner for much more smoothness, should help with SPL score too in theory.
