Dust Catcher

The backend of my C5 seems to catch every dust particle that flies within 10 feet. Does anyone know whether a rear spoiler eliminates/reduces this or not?

Thanks

Polishing can create a "static cling" situation that a spoiler won't correct. When I put my car in the dryer I put a Fabrez strip in with it.

I have had success with a good coat of wax. Dust particles still appear, but they are easily removed with a light wipe with the ol' microfiber.

Answer: Yes, the spoiler reduces dust settling on the rear -- it settles on the spoiler.

I've never found anything that works well - it's just something you live with.

Oh That Dust..It's Driving Me Crazy

I agree with everyone else. Just get out the duster each time you stop. Less of a visual issue with Quicksilver, but I know that dust is back there just the same. I'm seeing a doctor about the problem.
