Guys with White cars come inside.

I'm not sure what it is about my car but there's always nats and mis. other insects always landing on it. When I go to the carwash and with my car still wet, flys,nats everything lands on my car before I get a chance to dry it. It's not the soap I use I have the some problem weather washing it at home or at the carwash.
Samething happens when I take my car cover off. I get it half way off and There's everything landing on my car. Even after it's been a few days since I've washed it. When I start going over the car with my duster from front to back theres always bugs landing back on the front of my car before I can make it to the back to dust it off. Am I nuts or do any of you have this same problem?

Happens to me all the time. Bugs are dumb and like bright things like light bulbs and white cars. See how many bugs you get when you paint your car artic white.

Not really bad here but sometimes it's just crawling with tiny little bugs. Black Widdows like to live in the driver side rear coil spring area too hehe.
