Bugs and My Car

[laksman91]

When i park my car outside... i happen to always have bugs sleeping/dying on them. As i washed my car today i would go around to discover more dead bugs. Is this a colour related issue? My car is CWP so do other CWP owners experience similar things?

Same here, but I think they are attracted to the moisture I see more bugs on the car when I am washing it. Even today I see 20 bugs swimming in the drops of water on the hood alone.

Maybe they were blinded by the shine and knocked themselves out!!

[rwatt]

I get that too, after washing. Also random squirrel poo. :complain

While washing yeah.... but it might be the moisture, and its just easier to see on a white car.

But all of us responders to this thread... all own CWP cars lol.

It's strange that you mention it. I have been noticing more bugs on my new CWP car than any other colour I have owned! Seriously, when I wash it as I am trying to shammy it off, bugs every where. When it sits in the bright sun, I can always find flies landing all over it, just sitting there. Drives me nuts.:complain

I think it's the bright colour. Not too much we can do about it. :bang

well...... i have a black and i have no idea what you guys are talking about lol.

Anyways, i have 2 dead bugs stuck inside the housing of 1 of my tails.... does that count? hahahah

[laksman91]

I also have a black minivan and that never gets bugs and they are both parked beside each other :S maybe its more noticble on the white

[baymoe]

It's definiteliy the white. I park my car outside regularly, and bugs are attracted to the white cars.

There are few threads about this, and some would say white color attracts bugs and birds

[Fobio]

where's the TSB guys? ;)

I get the same thing, and also drive a white car its weird.
