Default Radiator/ Engine Coolant Flush

Hi , anyone done this . I have a recently purchased 2005 with 26k miles and it has sat a long time . I know about the spec for the coolant and have bought it and have read all the flushing instructions . Take out the thermostat, and flush continually until the water is completely clean and then install the new coolant. Always sounds easy but has anyone done this change out ?
Thanks for any help.

Congrats on your mint purchase. I would recommend taking your car to your local detailer that does engine flushing. Doing this job requires patience and it could harm your SC. Usually this job ranges from $70-100 depending on your location.
