Do you typically clean customer's rotors when installing new pads?

Title says it all. I usually try to tell people to bed in their new pads but I've been thinking about this. As long as the rotors are aren't worn I usually just throw on the new pads and don't worry about cleaning the rotors. What is your all's practice?

Skeptical film strip shown in grade school?

Might be only a North America thing so sorry if this isn't all inclusive but..

Does anyone remember a film (possibly a film strip) we were shown in grade school about being skeptical of consumerism? It was full of realistic but fake ads and what to look out for. I specifically remember a couple things:

  1. A man at working at a gas station and he says "our gas has more 'TIGER POWER'" or something to that effect. Then the narrator went on to educate us about how they can say that because there is no such thing as tiger power so it's not false advertsising.

  2. Then there were kids playing with some toys (action figures or something) near a stream of water and using it as a river for fun adventures and such. And at the end the pitch man, talking real fast says "rivernotincluded." We thought that was so funny. Looked for years on youtube and IMDB but could never find it.

Just curious. I think that film was my first step into skepticism right up there with my mom telling me Ginsu knives and all other as seen on TV ads were crap.
