Wasps!!

So, I'm out of town and the wife calls. During our conversation, she casually says that she sprayed a lone wasp in the garage with wasp and hornet killer. Knowing full well that she NEVER sprays ANY stinging insect without FREAKING the F out, I ask her if she got any on her car (or on my bike). Yes, all over the front left!!!!!!! Of course!! I told her its probably ok and just take a soaked chamois and lightly wipe it off and have it washed in the morning.

As I searched, I was surprised that there are almost no threads regarding wasp/hornet killer on automotive paint. What do you all think?

That's great idea, I can't wait for your research and resulting report. Can we also include the impact of the spring Florida sex bugs and or the Hungarian pepper fly!!

Overreact much? Lol

Maybe you should research the ingredients and find that none of them eat away automotive paint lol

Just wash the car, no big deal.

Haha, yeah I do tend to overreact when it comes to my cars. I keep them spotless. Thanks for the info. I'm happy to report that it was washed this morning and its fine.

Wasp spray has about a 2 month delay on eating at paint. It will start to chip and bubble in a month or 2.
