i have a white gts and every time i come back to it after leaving it for a while its covered with flying and crawling bug things, dirty or clean....

is it the colour? because it doesnt happen with my mums white corolla or white magna...

Exact same problem... car is coated with little flying bugs; my car is white as well, but I find that it happens after a car wash. I blame the soap/water that they use - I think it's got a sugar base or something along those lines that make the finish attractive towards bugs :P

i had the same problem. little flying ants were eating my car!

when i did my quarterly bug spraying for my house i gave my car a really light spray of the stuff. i left it for a few mins then went and washed my car.

its worked so far.

does anyone know how to get bird and bat crap off the car ?? i was it using a hose and soap but in the sun it looks to have caked itself in the paint :( i got a black r33, would a wax or polish help ??

Try using Meguiars ScratchX

scratchx only fills in scratches in the clearcoat.

if its a oxidised stain or dried poop (ie has eaten through your clear due to the chemicals and heat) then you'll need to cut and polish it. if its deeper than that then you'll need a new clear.

go to repco or supercheap and get something called "bug and tar remover"

spray some of that sucker on, let it soak for a few mins and it'll come off.

it gets the black soot that stains on the rear bar from the exaust off too.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
