Bugs Love My Car

[FriniK]

whats the deal with bugs and my car? ...

i have a white gts and every time i come back to it after leaving it for a while its covered with flying and crawling bug things, dirty or clean....

is it the colour? because it doesnt happen with my mums white corolla or white magna...

i think the bugs have good taste never the less...

[satanic]

Exact same problem... car is coated with little flying bugs; my car is white as well, but I find that it happens after a car wash. I blame the soap/water that they use - I think it's got a sugar base or something along those lines that make the finish attractive towards bugs

or teh wax

I swear I remember reading some thread about the wax used on the cars, the bugs like to eat it or somthing

[funkymonkey]

you ain't got shit...

i had the same problem. little flying ants were eating my car!

when i did my quarterly bug spraying for my house i gave my car a really light spray of the stuff. i left it for a few mins then went and washed my car.

its worked so far.

looks like a 5 o clock shadow... your car needs to shave.

Try using Meguiars ScratchX

[funkymonkey]

scratchx only fills in scratches in the clearcoat.

if its a oxidised stain or dried poop (ie has eaten through your clear due to the chemicals and heat) then you'll need to cut and polish it. if its deeper than that then you'll need a new clear.

my car after wakefield eariler in the year

PWNED

[wilch]

scratchX cuts, mr monkey

maybe is a white-paint/import thing. i used to have a white silvia, and everytime i washed it, all these little flying bugs would all start crawling over the roof & bonnet. never happend on any of my parents cars (both locally delivered nissans)

[SirSkyline]

I think they just like white because I have the same problem

[FriniK]

should put some teeth on the front bar ....skylines eat bugs ...maybe thatll scare them away?

[benm]

Get the Meguiars Clay, that stuff is awesome!

funkeymonkey: If that was my frontbar, i'd be pulling it off and buying a new 1 before even trying to clean it haha, would take days to clean that!

[Sl!m]

my car has dead bugs with blood on it and i cant wash off

i will eat them

bacardi is my friend

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

YOU ARE GOING TO EAT TEH DEAD BUGS AND BLOOD?

Does will know you kiss him with a mouth like that??

[SECURITY]

go to repco or supercheap and get something called "bug and tar remover"

spray some of that sucker on, let it soak for a few mins and it'll come off.

it gets the black soot that stains on the rear bar from the exaust off too.

oops i dont think i will be drinking again

[i want a skyline]

I reckon it's 'cos of the sugar in the detergent, or the wax. Sounds most likely. As for bugs getting nailed when driving, well that happens to many cars, and you can only expect 5xthe carnage with a 'cooler!
