Yesterday I tried the NXT wash for the first time, great smell and lubricity, but when I was wiping my car dry I noticed a few gnats on my paint. I just blew them off and resumed wiping dry. I didn't think anything of it because in my experience it seems that insects are attracted to black paint, and a few bugs are always harassing me when I am drying of freshly wash paint. Anyway I left the car out for an hour or so to let the tire dressing set, and when I came back, gnats were all over my car!! They were everywhere, the image of a beehive flashes at me. :wait

I think maybe it was the smell??

I figured they weren't really hurting the paint and I didn't know how to get them off, so I just pulled into the garage with them still on...:(

Has anyone else had this problem??

This has only happened to me with the NXT wash, I was previously using Pinnacle, and GC. Maybe it's because of spring? I don't know just confused here!
 
It's the smell they use a lime fragrance - same thing happened when I used their Vinyl protectant on my tires - bugs were all over it like I poured honey on em.

Actually I have not had that problem anymore. :crazy

So I guess it was just because of spring starting. It was really gross though.

There was a thread like this on Autopia too, I think it was geekysteve that said that bugs are attracted to a freshly washed car because they can sense the water around the car, and they mistake your shiny paint for water. :nono
