Why is it that everytime you wash your car bugs start appearing everywhere?

I totally agree...I think we just notice it more b/c our cars are white. Although I must say, my dad doesn't seem to have much of the same issue with his white Camry. Hmmm...lol

Not sure about this one, but it makes sense that when you wash your car, you become a source of moisture which attracts certain bugs. OR it could be the smell of the soap we use.
