To any fishermen out there that ever order wax worms for bait, avoid this place. I sent two emails to the owner of the business, and never got any response. I even signed up on his website's forum and posted a new thread asking for an explanation as to why I haven't received my order or even...

I've gotten the OK from my boss here at the University of Wisconsin Aquatic Toxicology Lab to run toxicity tests on minnows and Daphnia, testing the toxicity of various detailing chemicals. I've wondered for a while how harmful the various APCs and car soaps might be when they enter the river or...

Here are the results of spraying the tire with PB's APC diluted 10:1, and scrubbing with a cheap tire brush, with a little elbow grease.

Does anyone have an idea of what this spot is? I suggested that it might be clearcoat failure, since it is on the roof (high susceptibility to UV damage). I went over the area with SSR2.5/green and AIO/grey, with no luck in reducing it. You can see the oxidation behind it where I stopped...

I've been taking a lot of pictures since I got my Canon S2 IS digital camera (to replace my 2MP HP digital). I've got a few accessories for it too, including a tripod, lens adapter (to protect the lens and zoom mechanism), a UV filter, a polarizer filter, and a waterproof bag to keep it in when...

My problem started a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that my keyless entry remote was working sporadically. I switched the remote on my key ring with the spare, and tried that one instead. Same problem. So I went to Autozone and bought a new battery. Even with the new battery, the problem still...

Assuming an average car with average contamination, how long does it take you to clay it? Please list the brand of clay, the type of clay lube that you use, and the amount of clay lube you typically use on a midsize car. I just got in from claying my car, and it took me about 1 hour and...

I felt like I was trying to photograph an obnoxious little kid or something today when I was testing out my new camera and tripod. My dog wasn't being very cooperative. It took me about a dozen shots to get a decent one. Here's the first one: . :lol But the main thing I wanted to...

I have a clunking sound from my front left wheel area, particularly when driving over bumps, and I'm pretty sure it's a bad strut. I was told that I should look for a spring/strut assembly (sold as one piece - strut/bearing/spring), and that way I could do the replacement myself. Apparently...

After spending the last 4 months browsing through last year's kayaking pictures, I was determined to go this weekend. It got up to a warm (hey I'm in WI!) 44*F by the time I got back. I went down the river scouting out a new section, to familiarize myself with all of the good fishing spots. Then...

I was just looking for an answer to how many images at 5.0MP I could fit on a 256MB or 512MB SD card, and came across this website. It's exactly what I needed, and maybe it can help someone else in the future. http://www.picstop.co.uk/pdf/image_count.htm

I just saw this new "Yahoo Answers" link when I checked my Yahoo mail this morning. I decided to see whether people had questions about detailing related topics. I've seen some pretty stupid answers for sure. http://answers.yahoo.com/ " Wax is actually not good for the car. I just got a 2006...

I’ve received several requests for me to document my QEW process, using MF towels instead of sheepskin mitts. Other QEW writeups can be found here: http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32078&highlight=QEW...

How come you don't offer the 32oz or 128oz sizes of 303 Protectant?

Do you guys think red (or any other specific color) fades faster than other colors? Or is it just that red is the most obvious when it's faded/fading?

I'm looking for a nice license plate frame for my rear plate, and I came across a vendor on Ebay that sells "Zoom-Zoom" plate frames. They sell chrome ones and black ones. Which one do you like better? I think they'd both go well with the car. The chrome matches the clean/shiny paint and chrome...

What would you do if it rained on your clean car, and the beads froze before you could wash/dry them off? Any ideas? I just left them there, but at temps below freezing, it took several days for them to sublime. It really bothered me, having those goofy looking beads taunting me.

Wash/S&G/Paste Glaz I'm determined to get that orange peel out of the valve cover. Since my arm is trying to tell me that it's tired of polishing aluminum, I think I'll have to bust out the PC with a 4" orange pad and use the Mothers mag polish with that. If that orange peel...
