I saw that, too but they never actually said Zymol!

It was very probably Zymol. For fun read what's in Zymol here:

If you read the whole thing you'll find they use an enzyme derived from bees!<ul><li><a href="http://www.zymol.com/what'sin.htm">Zymol ingredients</a></li></ul>

Au contraire, sounds like a good theft deterrent to me. Warning: This car protected by killer bees!

Interesting! I've always suspected that that was what attracted knats to the yellow SLK, but there

was a thread on the SLK board recently theorizing that bugs were attracted more to yellow than to other colors. Or maybe just more yellow SLK owners use Zymol! ;-)

Notice where the container of Zymol is...I certainly wouldn't

put a jar of wax on my vehicle, even if I was in the process of cleaning it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.zymol.com/wax.htm">Waxing with Zymol</a></li></ul>

It's true. A few weeks ago, I was leaving a grocery store and the air was filled with millions

of newly hatched gnats. They were pretty much everywhere, but next to my car was a bright yellow new Beetle, and I wish I had my digital camera, because the gnats were literally covering the beetle. In fact, they were crawling all over en masse, and the effect of seeing the moving carpet of black bugs against the yellow car was quite striking.
