I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

its ok, but i wouldve been done alot faster and looked nicer if each headlight didnt have those 3 friggin plastic studs for the alignment machine. i had to go around them over and over.

edit: i did the right headlight twice, it still looked fuzzy the first time so i went back with the 800 grit (2nd pad) then went to the 2000 grit (3rd pad) with water and spent a GOOD amount of time putting the polishing compound on.

Yeah, that is a good kit, I recently did the PT with that kit, then followed it with that new Meguiars Ultimate wax. Good stuff!

Never liked these kits. Waste of money if you ask me.

Buy a variety pack of wet sand paper, meguires "plast-x" and a good wax and you can do better, and you have supplies that will last alot longer.

After a few months if you dont keep the lenses clean, they are gonna go right back to fogged.

Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks'
