Do the bugs love my car?

[AccessDEANied]

It's been awhile since I've detailed my car. Last month I washed my car before driving from San Diego to San Jose. Every time we made a stop, I busted out the NXT Glass Cleaner because there were at least 5-10 bug marks (the small yellow kind) on the windshield. I even got a big juicy one that stained my glass towel. =\

I washed my car again today, and noticed that the front bumper cover was pretty dirty with bugs too, except not splatted(?) up. I got it almost cleaned up, but I can't detail until after finals this week.

Drying my car, there were a couple of bugs that landed on the roof of it. Grr...

Do you think the bugs from the road trip have done enough damage to mess up my clear coat? I can see faint outlines, but I won't know for sure until I detail.

And what's causing the bug attraction? I'm using NXT car wash solution. Maybe I should switch to Gold Class or that other one that has kids washing the car on the front? =P

It wouldn't happen to be yellow would it?

I swear the bugs love my yellow truck. Every time I wash it I get little green bugs landing on it while in the process. When I drive- Oh thats another story! I swear nothing attracts bugs like a yellow vehicle.

I use Gold Class shampoo, and I have the same problem... so stick to what you like. The bugs probably just like looking at themselves in such a clean finish.

when i wash my silver car with gold class no bugs are attracted to it, but when i was washing this girls white car there were bugs all over the hood??

My car is "Shale Metallic Green". We seemed to have survived today, but the battle is never over. =\

I thought I was pretty diligent about getting bugs off my car. But I've started to realize that the marks on my car just aren't bug splatters, but have begun to eat the clear coat. Granted, I wash frequently but I don't get the bugs off everyday, I thought washing every week would be good enough. It wasn't.

Hope you have better luck.
