Calif Duster used here. I have the SLP spoiler & it helped some but did not solve this issue.

i installed a oil catch can and that helped alot - without the can - extra oily film from exhaust can mount up and hold the dust. have 18k on car. keeps your intake manofold cleaner also.

Unfortunately, we get turned into that if we have a dark coloured car. Just can't believe how fast that rear gets dusty!

Has anyone tried Rejex on your rear? It definitely helps to get the brake dust off of my wheels.

Anyone use a California duster on a black C5? I thought the dusters pick up dirt. Won't that cause scratching on the paint? I'd love to use one if I felt comfortable about no scratching.

It wont scratch provided you have a good coat of wax on her!

I use one on mine & haven't noticed any scratches. However, if I have a real heavy coating of dirt or dust I'll wash it instead of using the CD.

Calif Duster with only a REAL light coat of dust. Not much you can do about it.

Leaf blower or my Master Blaster. I rarely put towels or dusters to my car for any reason, other than washing. Don't want to risk scratching the paint... (Dirt is different than dust...)
