A very odd question
 
So, I got my new beautiful pearl white 370z, I work 65 hours a week Monday through Friday, I got off work last night and my car was covered in bugs and spiders... I don't want that... So here is my question once I get a. Cover I also won't want them on that either lol.


Okay so has anyone ever put like raid or any other forum of bug repellent on their Z? Or maybe around it who may also have the same issue? Im out in he woods and there is a lot of them of say I did sprey raid on my car would it hurt it in any way? If so anyone have any recommendations?


Thanks all

I'm not too sure what's in Raid but I cannot imagine it's good for the clear coat or paint...

I put mothballs around the Z when I store it in the winter. I drop 10-12 mothballs in 6-8 nylon knee high stockings and stratigically place them under and around the Z. It keeps the 'mouses' away for good. Not sure what you can use for bugs. Maybe you should try the mothballs, hell moths are insects too. Just don't leave the mothballs inside your vehicle.

Don't. Most pesticides have various ingredients (such as sticker-spreaders etc.) that are designed to prevent the pesticide from washing away. Not a good ideas for the cheap Nissan paint.

It's not spiders, its cobwebs. You don't get to drive it enough. cut those hours.

Did anyone else see the bugs and spiders?

I have more problems with those frickin' incontinent birds. Little bastages.

Find a Wax or detail spray that they don't like. Probably take some trial and error, and I have no idea what to recommend as a starting point but something is bound to work.

The pesticide particles/mothballs never come in touch with the paint, EVER. They are packed and isolated in their own little containers, the knee highs. The ends of the knee highs are tied in a few knots so they do not open. Very simple and quite effective. No rodents, no spiders, no other bugs.
