Chill w/ the caps man. Do you post in all caps on nycmaximas.org too?

On 2nd notice, your name is in all caps, your post and the thread title. I guess you do.

Seven sixteenths of one inch. That's the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot.

wow people like to flame when you're just trying to help. **** happens. have you ever written a whole paragraph and noticed you hit caps on accident, not like you can highlight it and undo caps.

that works fine on plastic, not glass. the fogs are glass, so it wont work there. i'm just going to spray clear on my fogs so theyre cleaner, there's a ton of stone chips on them

I do believe that is from Maddox's website. Nice allusion.

actually, no. I learned a little while ago to read and type and the same time. I can tell I left the caps on after one or two letters. I definately do feel special now that I find out you can't do that.

Without even following the link, I see two possibilities:
1) Some fancy $$ crap that they "found" from the magical Autopia forums
2) Some fine-cut car polish and a rag.

Well I clicked the link and the guy started with 400 grit. Why, I dunno since car polish works in one step and it works on glass equally well.

WHO CARES ABOUT THE CAPS LOCK!!!!!! PEOPLE PICK AT EVERYTHING THEY CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF ON THIS WEBSITE!!!! NOBODY'S PERFECT!

Anyway, good link...definitely something I've been planning on doing to my lights so I bookmarked that link. They have some kind of chemical splatter stained all over them. Did it take you an hour per headlight like it said in the link?

People who post without using punctuation or create run-on sentences makes me more mad than when they type in all CAPS.

great write up. I'll have to do this if I have nothing else to do some day.

Does anyone know if that DIY would work on headlight protective film?
