Dirty butt
Everytime I wash my car I've noticed that it has what seems like dirt on the rear end but could be black carbon from the mufflers. I never notice this dirt/carbon anywhere else on the car when I clean it. Anyone also notice this or could this be just my car

Try living on a dirt road like me. It looks like I never wipe my azz. Wait, that didn't sound right.
