dirty rear end

Do you find this car get excessivly dusty and dirty at the rear end, particularily on the bumper and trunk lid by the badge? I have a chrome lip, no spoiler. I wonder it gets less dirty with the spoiler.

Question

I've been wondering the same thing. It does gather extra dust on the rear. (I have the spoiler)
Has anybody that added the spoiler after purchase notice more or less dust on the rear as a result of adding OEM or similar spoiler?

its b/c the pipes stick out a tad bit more. also the larger wide rear tires make it shoot up dust and the aerodynamics push the dust back on to the car.

happened to all my cars.

spoiler doesnt help. i noticed the rear is extra dirty too. must be the vortex from wind passing by and sucking up all the dirt. i dunno.
.
btw. does the front splash guard help at all ? i think it might work more than most think. im thinking of getting them since the rear-sides of my cars get quite a lot of splash/dirt on it.

I've noticed the same thing....the rear is always the dirtiest area...

I have the spoiler...thought that was it...apparently not according to posts above...

it must be something in the aerodynamics that pushes the air back toward the bumper and back area of trunk lid...

mine is due for a good clay job already...lots of fun around all those badges...ugh

I have the spoiler and it gets real dusty.... and last month the pollen was a bitch. I would wash my car and the next morning I see this yellow layer over my car. I had to buy those swiffer duster to swiffer my car ...a little excessive maybe and my neighbors gave me strange stares but I like my car clean.
And don't even get me started about the bird crap... it is eating away my clear coat... All because my neighbors ignore my request to stop feeding those "rats with wings"

Get one of those California Car Duster things. 60 seconds to do your whole car and only 10 seconds to wipe the back end. Always clean!

Gotta agree here -- noticed this within the first few days -- it's kind of odd. This car just attracts dust (and/or pollen) on the rear bumper QUICKLY. No obvious reason I can pinpoint. I think it's a permanent feature.

i think there's a new car soap that has some sort of anti-static properties to it... it is in a pink bottle i can't seem to remember the name. smells like bubble gum
