    [General] We used a headlight restorer kit

    I think it was a Turtle wax product. At any rate, the lens had white spots from some spray. We first wet sanded it with 1000 grit same paper then polished it. The Meguiars PlastX should work too.

    [Engine] Had that thought

    That is why I took off the thermostat cover and hoses to see if the impeller was slipping on the shaft, it wasn't.
