Some products attact bugs?

[04lss]

Hi all,

im wondering if anyone has noticed that certain detailing products seem to attack bugs. Notably I used PNS absolute rinseless wash recently. Its a solid product (though maybe not my favorite rinesless), but I noticed every time i use it, bugs seem to land on my car. There were probably 5-6 flies, ants crawling on it etc. Parked where i always parked. Hasnt happened before or since, just when i use Absolute. I am wondering if anyone else runs into this.

I haved used certain Australian product's that attract bugs, Mostly bees and other insects i think they either like the smell of said product or the shine it leaves.

So yes it can happen.

Well I walk out the door and the fu#*in mosquitos are literally swarming me... oh you said 'detail product' that attracts bugs.

I remember using McKee’s 37 SiO2 Auto Wash which smells great, like watermelons, and every time I washed bees would come to the area I was washing. I guess they also liked the smell. But once done washing they were gone.

And bead maker attracts dust, not bugs

Agree. Our pearl white MDX attracks bugs worse than any other color I've owned. Any time I do any detailing work on it, washing, polishing, LSP application, doesn't matter; there are tons of small flying insects all over it - of multiple varieties. Very frustrating.

Attack, or Attract?

I'm confused here..............

Every time I used P&S BeadMaker, it attracted bugs. It was so slick they could not land in the vehicle, however.

Is there two reasons for this? Shine/reflection and/or scent?
