Fly record
It seems that my Velocity Yellow GS attracts flies. So far my record is 21 flys counted on the car at one time.
I am wondering if it is the color or the Ultimate Quick Detailer from Meguiar's as it has a nice pleasant sweet smell.
No pictures yet, but I will post the next fly infestation, which will be the next time the car is out of the garage.
How about your record?

I am on my 6th yellow vette. In at least South Florida, I have noticed the same thing. Probably the frequency on the reflected sunlight or maybe flux capacitor is out of whack. Check air pressure

There must have been 30 lil flys all over the car when i got back to it. And lil pooooo spots!!!
After washing the car i realized there was over 50 poo spots all over it again!!
Put car back into garage. Grrrrrrrr

I really think they are attracted to the wax on the car. It seems like EVERY time I wash or wax my car and it's outside on a summer day, bugs appear to land on the paint and just sit there....drives me crazy

You guys down south are lucky.
Up here in the NW corner the daily routine includes shooing away cougars and grizzly bears that like to hang out around our cars.
May have something to do with the salmons we have to carry for ID.
