INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use water and a dedicated car washing solution/soap. Follow the bottle's directions carefully. Your goal is to remove any dirt or grime so that you can focus on the clear coat directly when you sand and buff. Once you have completely cleaned your body, allow it to dry by gently wiping down the surface with a towel. Soak for at least 60 minutes in clean water to prevent sharp edges from scratching the clear coat. Next soak a rag in water with a little bit of soap. Use about a cap of soap per gallon of water, or as directed by your soap label.

SUMMARY: Clean the exterior of your car. Allow the surface to dry. Soak all of your sandpaper. Soak a rag.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The basic skipping motion is step, hop, step, hop. Start by stepping forward with one foot, then hopping on that same leg. It helps to step on just the balls of your feet, keeping your heel lifted. Push off your ball and propel yourself forward a few inches as you jump. Land lightly with bent knees. Point your toes in the direction you want to be skipping towards. Keep your head up and eyes forward. You may need to look at your legs as you get used to the motion, but eventually you should look up and ahead. Hold your abs in and chest up. Keeping a good posture will add height and distance to your skips. When you land, don't make a lot of noise. If the ground makes a loud noise when you land, you're wasting too much energy. Keep control of the jump through your Achilles tendon and knees. After landing, step forward with the other leg and repeat the previous motion. Step on the ball of your foot, hop, then land lightly with a bent knee. Another way to think about skipping is to add hops in while marching. Practice marching with high knees. When you lift up one leg with knees bent, the standing leg should do a hop. Repeat on the other leg. Continue the march-hop motion in a series. Let your foot that isn't hopping go with the momentum by moving it forward and letting it rise about 45 degrees. To increase the energy of your hops, you can lift your knee to as much as a 90 degree angle. Getting your arm actions right has a small but important role in improving your jump performance. Keep your arms relaxed and let them swing with the momentum. Swing your arms forwards and backwards, not side to side, just as you do with walking. As your left knee pops up, swing your right arm forward, and vice versa. Try going faster, increasing the distance between each skip, and jumping higher. If you're having problems, try slowing down and doing it one foot at a time. You can skip in place by stepping on one foot, hopping straight up and down. Then shift your weight to the other foot and hopping straight up and down again. Once you get comfortable with this, try skipping in motion again.

SUMMARY: Step forward, then hop on that foot. Repeat that motion on the other leg. Lift and bend your non-stepping foot. Swing your arms in alternate directions. Speed up as you get comfortable with the motion.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid arousing suspicions around bedtime; just do everything normally, such as teeth cleaning and saying goodnight to everyone in the house. If you know your parents will check on you before going to bed, listen for when they come. Hide whatever you are doing and pretend to be asleep. Normally, when pretending to be asleep, you do not move, however, it is okay to turn a little in your "sleep". Don't snore unless you are known to snore. It helps to pull your blanket over your face to save half the trouble of keeping a straight relaxed face. Consider sleeping with the radio on to give you cover. If you accidentally make a sudden noise, it'll be blamed on the radio.

SUMMARY:
Follow your usual bedtime routine. Prepare for the bed check.
