How do I keep my butt end clean?
After I wash my 2003 Z06 and then drive for only a couple of minutes, the back end is all dusty again. Is there any way around this? (besides not driving it) Rejex maybe? The car is black, so I'm sure that doesn't help.

No way that I've found - the C5 creates a vacuum that sucks the road dust up on the back end of the car. Only thing to do is wipe it down often.

I agree that you cannot stop it, but I did find that once I installed the SLP rear spoiler, it cut way down on the amount of dirt and dust that gets back there.

You need to get one of those big spoilers they used to put on the back of station wagons, and put it on facing down, thats how they kept the back windows clean.
Your not gonna like the look though, or the troll comments!

I swore Id never dust a dry car, but after listening to you guys ive found tha California Duster does the trick. I have about 3 coats of wax on the rear just for this. I carry the duster in my car now,lol, and everytime I stop I dust the rear !

Do you drive on dirt roads? If it is wet outside or I'm on a dusty road I don't have this problem. Once we found ourselves on a gravel road and the dust build up was bad. But normally not much of a problem. Torchred by the way. Black is the worst for any kind of dust.

A new CD was one of the things I bought on the way home from picking up my new 2000 coupe this past January. I've carried one in every car I've owned despite all the looks I get from people who seem to think I'm crazy. These are the same people who are amazed that my 10+ year-old cars still look like they just rolled off the showroom floor.
