Default C7 Dust Collection Areas

OK all you clean freaks! It's time to weigh in on where the road dust collects the most (or quickest) on your C7. From my perspective, it seems to be the black finned insert next to the tail lights.

Mine gets especially dirty on the gap at the rear of the doors and around the gill on the front fender. Extra five minutes and it's clean...... LOVE this car!

with the above. In addition to the rockers and lower quarters.

Surprisingly, overall the butt doesn't seem to attract dust like the C6 did

I was hoping for a cleaner butt, with the exit vents breaking up the vacuum area. Your testimony seems to prove this to be true.

The whole rear surface is the dust magnet. I can't see any area of it that collects more than any other.

My C7 butt seems just as dusty as the C6 did BUT changing colors from LMB to TR has been a pleasant surprise from the dust visibility standpoint. I know it is present on the TR but a few feet away (even in bright sun) and it's not so apparent. The LMB showed EVERYTHING. Brake dust (Z51) on the black wheels is an entirely different story.....

Yep it's the @$$ end of the C7 that collects the most dust but it's not nearly as bad as my C5 was....
