For giggles I wanted to PXE boot my MacBook Pro. Since the Apple EFI system is a stripped own version of Tiano core there have been some nifty boot replacements/toolkit that let you multiboot the system. I myself prefer to use rEFIt. This little badboy will let you boot standard MBR style media...

Use 600 then move to 800, 1000 and then 2000 grit. Wet sand with mild soapy water. I don't know if you can get it but there are a few specialty places that sell 3000 grit paper. Meguiars has a awsome clear plastic polish called PlastX. I used it to restore the headlights on my old car. Here in...
