For Christmas, they gave me some Meguiar's Dark Wax - takes a bit of work (even in a slightly warm garage), but the sections I have done look stunning - "wet slick on glass" would be one way of putting it. I also spent a happy afternoon putting all the paperwork into clear wallets, one a year, in a nice folder (obsessive?)

Does more good to your car than leaving it in the garage fretting about salt.

I carried out some windscreen upright modifications.
Bit scary because it meant welding aluminium, which is a relatively new thing for me.

I'll get round to it - some day!

Was forced to put my wife's MG in my garage with my dolomite due to the weather so there is no room for me to tinker! I did try and complain but after 12 years of marriage I choose my battles very carefully!!

A leak.
A big one.
Bought some wonder-stuff from B&Q, plastered that over the suspect roof area, but it's still leaking, big time.
This isn't the time of year for this stuff.

Re: What happened in your garage this weekend
I'm without Dolomite and all I have to do with the Astra is put petrol in it (which isn't all that often these days) but the annual service is due so I'll be busy with that over the coming weekend.
