Default Fine black dust on back of car ???
Has anyone else noticed a fine black dust on the rear of the car after you drive? Washed and waxed mine friday, drove it a few times sat. and found the dust all over the back. Is this brake dust or exhaust?

Aerodynamics of design cause exhaust and dust to deposit on the rear of all C6,s. Nothing to worry about.We all share that.

Keep it waxed and the Z06 spoiler helps reduce it

I use a gentle touch with the california duster to gently lift it out of the rear light insets.

All vettes have it, 'cept for the garage queens.

Hahaha, yeah just get the California Duster. I've got one in my trunk. It should come with a bag so the dirt doesn't get everywhere after you use it.

"Drive faster" is a great tip too.

Now that has to be one of the best lines I've heard in a long time. It's quite true, also.

What is "rejex" and where do you find it. Also, is Zaino available anywhere but online?
