Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash off the plastic with soap and water. Dry the plastic with a microfiber cloth. Sand the area with 220 to 320-grit sandpaper. Apply an all-purpose cleaner to remove stubborn grease. Place painter's tape around the discolored area. Wear a pair of gloves and a respirator. Coat the discolored area with spray paint. Let the paint dry for 30 minutes. Add more layers of paint as needed.

Answer: You can use your regular liquid laundry detergent for this. Try mixing about .5floz (15mL) of detergent in 16floz (470mL) of hot water. Apply the soap, then rinse it off either with a hose or damp rag. Give plastic a thorough washing before attempting to restore it. Plastic restoration products always work better on clean surfaces. Use the cloth to wipe down the plastic. This should remove most of the moisture as well as the dirt and other debris. Make sure the surface is completely dry before continuing. You can let the plastic dry in air, but more dust and debris will settle on it the longer you wait. Be very gentle when using the sandpaper so you don't scratch the plastic. Rub the sandpaper around the area in a circular motion. When you're finished, wipe off the debris with a clean microfiber cloth. While you can get away with not sanding, roughing up the surface a little helps the paint stick to the plastic. A simple soap and water cleaning can leave on oils that interfere with the paint. For this reason, clean the plastic off a second time with an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser. Rub in the product using a soft microfiber cloth. All-purpose cleaners are effective against oils, which can settle on exposed plastics such as cars. Another option is rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is very effective at removing leftover oils. Paints and dyes will leave you with a different sort of discoloration if they reach areas you don't want to color. Protect these areas by making a border around the discolored area. Painter's tape is designed for this purpose, but using other varieties, such as masking tape, may also work. You can get painter's tape from most hardware and home improvement stores. Unless you want to dye your hands, slip on a pair of gloves before painting. Also, open up any nearby doors and windows if you aren't working outside. You should wear a respirator mask to avoid breathing in any fumes from the paint or dye. Wearing long-sleeved clothes also helps protect your skin. Select old clothing you don't mind discoloring. Choose a spray paint for plastic that is the color you want. Slowly move back and forth across the discolored area, applying an even coating of paint. Overlap your strokes until you have covered the entire area. For extra effect, apply a layer of primer first. This usually isn't necessary, but it ensures the paint sticks to the plastic. You can also dyes, such as trim dyes for cars. Squeeze a few drops onto the plastic, then spread the dye with a foam brush. You can paint the item any color you would like, but you may wish to match the paint to the item's existing color scheme. Give the paint time to dry fully before adding another coating. Depending on your environment, you may need to wait a little longer before the paint is dry to the touch. You will most likely need to go back and apply a second coating. Repeat the steps, letting the paint dry again. If the paint doesn't look solid and even, applying multiple layers doesn't hurt. When you're finished, allow the paint to dry, remove the tape, and enjoy the new coloring. You may also want to apply a paint sealer when you're finished in order to preserve the paint job longer.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine if this method is right for you. Put your debts in order by interest rate. Keep up with minimum payments. Pay as much as you can on the first debt. Move on the debt with the next-highest interest rate.

Answer:
If you're living comfortably and securely, your goal should be to prioritize your debts so as to pay them off as quickly as possible. One method of doing this involves paying off debt win order from the highest interest rate to the lowest. This is the fastest and most efficient way to pay off debt, and is referred to as a the "debt avalanche" technique. Organize your bills and paperwork and examine the terms and conditions of your loans to determine the interest rates you are being charged on each form of debt you owe. Use this information to create a written schedule that lays out when you will pay off each debt. Be sure to consider fees that may affect your priorities. For example, some credit cards have annual fees that you can avoid if you pay off and cancel the card though you should be aware that canceling the card comes with its own disadvantages, as it may adversely affect your credit score. Some loans have prepayment penalties, which may make quickly paying those loans off less cost-effective than it would be if you had only to consider the interest rates. If the interest rate on a particular account is subject to change, as is the case with credit cards that have introductory rates, be sure to consider this. Your priorities may need to change when the rates change. When prioritizing by interest rates, use the effective interest rate, the rate that takes into account any tax deduction. This is usually applicable to mortgages or student loans. Since interest payments on these loans are tax-deductible, the cost of such loans is actually a bit less than the stated interest rate. Calculate the effective rate by multiplying the stated interest rate by 1 minus your income tax bracket. For example, if you're in the 30% tax bracket and you have a mortgage with a stated rate of 10%, the effective interest rate is 7.0% (10*(1-0.30)). Even though you are focusing on paying off one source of debt at a time, be sure to keep from incurring more by paying the minimum monthly payments on other debts. Take these amounts into consideration before putting the rest of your money towards paying off your target debt. It may be a good idea to create an excel document to keep track of these payments and when they are due. This will generally be a credit card or a personal loan. If you really want to get out of debt, you will eliminate unnecessary expenses and put as much of your income as possible towards paying off this debt. This will allow you to pay it off quickly and move on to the next debt. Once you've paid off the first debt, proceed to the next-highest, and so on until you're debt-free.
