Back bumper dust magnet

Is it just me or does the 135 (maybe 128 too) collects dust at the back bumper like crazy? Also I drove it after the rain yesterday and I noticed the back bummer (around the trunk area) was sooo dirty! :bs:

I'll wash my Jet black and take the car around the block to clear the water off the rims. When I get back (2min drive), the back of my car already has dust......

I noticed that too. My old car was the same way and so is my 4 Runner.

All cars are like that. The back bumper tends to gather dust and mud on the wet seasons. Anyway, what was the last car that you had, ridsama?

Hmmm....really? Perhaps those with a traditional bumper design (ie "L" shaped), but not those without. Never had that problem with my 350z -- nowhere for dust to accumulate.

Anyway, glad I went with a darker color paint, should hide the dust long enough until I can get around to washing it again. :wink:
