Question BUGS after a fresh wash

Is it just me or do bugs love flying on or around your freshly washed G. I washed mine today and when i went out to the store and came out and there were at least 5 lttle bugs buzzing around my car. It hapens almost everytime. Are they attracted to a scent or something?

Shoulda seen the butterfly swarm here in SoCal last week. Almost swallowed one while walking! Car was covered in wings and that powdery stuff from them which I believe are scales.

every time I wash my car, I end up with about 10 dead bugs on the front after my first drive. so now I have made cleaning them off a part of my routine - it just happens to be about an hour after I am done washing

Same thing happening to me even when doing the car wash. When I am drying the car, I killed the bug accidentally and left some mess. End up re-wash that area. I don’t like BUG!
