Mini Flies?

I just waxed my car with zymol and flies just love it. I went on a run with the local club and my car was the only one attracting flies. Anyone else experience this?

I used to use Zymol on my truck and had similar problems. I would have to fight the flies off to keep them from getting smeared onto the finish while I was buffing. I would bet it has something to do with the natural ingredients. If I remember correctly, Zymol has coconut extract or something like that in it that makes that lovely smell that seems so attractive to the flying insects.

Your car also attracted all that plaster. Wonder if that was the Zymol too?
Did it all come off ok?

I used to get the same reaction with NuFinish! I haven't seen it w/ Zaino, though... The only thing Zaino seems to attact is fingerprints!
