My fingers are crossed for you. However I can't keep them crossed till the weekend cuz it would be hard to type and probably really cramp up. Good luck!

You'll do fine. Just relax and move your arms slow. The first time I used a machine I was moving too quick because the sound made me think I was burning through the clear, I wanted to get it off the paint fast. The more you do it the more comfortable you will be with it. If you have any questions we are all here to help.

Question is how many layers of wax do you have to take off?
I just ran the gamete last weekend Rabbi on my new metallic red suv and to be honest I didn't want to stop I put everything I owned on it. You are going to love your pc. ENJOY!!

Isn't that PC almost an antique now? How long have you had it? 2 years?
