Is there something in wax that ants like???

I waxed the Mustang 2 days ago, and parked it next to the Camaro under a tree. I came out the next morning for work and I had about 100 or so ants crawling on the Mustang, but didn't see any on the Camaro. ??? weird

Maybe its the smell; bugs seem to be attracted to sweet and sticky stuff. Polish and wax always has a sweet smell to it. When I was using the clay bar, bugs kept drowning in the polish spray.

I'm sitting here at work trying not to laugh while I guide this customer back on the internet over the phone. Glad there is the mute button cause I'm cracking up. I can just see a whole bunch of ants crawling over that car. Sorry Mark but this is just to damn funny to let go.
