Problem: 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.

Problem: Article: If it turns out that your guy friend is not interested or not available for a relationship, such as if he's dating someone else, then it's important to cut way back on how often you see him. Being around him all the time can make it harder to get over a crush, especially if he's involved with someone else. Look for other friends to spend time with and cancel upcoming plans with him if needed. Chances are he will understand what's going on. However, if he questions why you're cancelling plans with him, try saying something like, "I just have a lot going on right now, I might not see you much for a while." You don't need to unfriend your guy friend, but seeing less of him on social media may help you to get over him faster. Unfollow or mute him on social media outlets, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. When you are ready to go back to just being friends, you can follow him again, but give yourself at least a month before you do so. If you work or attend school together, you might need to start going out of your way to avoid him. Try taking a different route to school or work, sit somewhere else at lunch time, or change desks (with your boss or teacher's permission). If you do run into him, plan an excuse so that you can limit the interaction. Try saying something like, "Sorry, I can't talk, but I'm running late. Have a good day!" Spending time alone with a crush who is unavailable due to a relationship is a potential recipe for disaster. If they have feelings for you too, then you might end up in a situation where you're causing them to cheat on their significant other. This can lead to much bigger issues for your friend and it's unlikely to end in a happy relationship for you. If you like him and he might like you but he's already taken, then don't spend time alone with him. Try making an excuse for why you can't see him, such as that you're not feeling well or that you have other plans. If you do have to see him, make sure that someone else will be there or bring along a friend.
Summary: Cut back on the amount of time you spend with your guy friend. Unfollow your guy friend on social media. Look for additional ways to avoid him if you see him every day. Avoid spending time alone with your crush if they're unavailable.

Problem: Article: Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of water into a medium pot, and place it on the stove over high heat. Allow the water to come to a full boil, which should take approximately 5 minutes. A 2-quart (1.9 l) pot is usually a good size for 1 cup (200 g) of rice. If you prefer, you can substitute chicken or vegetable stock for the water to give the rice added flavor. Once the rice has reached a boil, add 1 cup (200 g) instant white rice to the pot. Mix well to ensure that the rice is thoroughly moistened. If you like, you can also add a tablespoon (14 g) of butter or margarine and salt to taste to the pot when you mix in the rice. When the rice is mixed with the boiling water, place the lid on the pot. Take it off the heat, and place it on a heatproof surface. Once it's off the heat, allow the rice to steep in the boiling water for about 5 minutes. The rice should fully absorb the water, so it may take a couple of minutes longer. Don't take the lid off the pot before the rice has sat for at least 5 minutes. You want to keep the steam trapped inside. When the rice has absorbed all of the water, take the lid off. Use a fork to gently fluff the rice to help it get the right texture. When the rice is fluffy, carefully transfer it to a dish or bowl. Bring it to the table while it's still warm and enjoy. You can also use the rice in any recipe that calls for cooked white rice.
Summary: Bring the water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the rice sit for several minutes. Uncover the pot and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve while the rice is still hot.

Problem: Article: To clean and disinfect your water bottle, try soaking it in a mixture of white vinegar and water. Mix one part vinegar with one part water in a bowl. Then, submerge the water bottle in the solution, making sure the solution gets inside the water bottle. Let the bottle soak for one to two minutes. Another option is to fill the bottle with the vinegar and water solution. Then, let the solution sit in the bottle for one to two minutes. Once you have soaked the bottle, rinse out the solution. Then, use a damp brush or a sponge to scrub the bottle. Make sure you scrub the mouth and lid of the bottle well, as this is usually where germs live. Scrubbing the bottle will also help to remove any remaining vinegar in the bottle. Let the water bottle air dry on a drying rack or a clean towel overnight. If you are in a rush, you can use a clean cloth to dry the bottle. Make sure you dry the mouth and lid of the bottle well.
Summary:
Soak the bottle in a vinegar solution. Scrub the bottle with a brush or a sponge. Dry the bottle.
