Rear bumper :-/

Is there ANY way to keep everything from sticking to it? Pollen and dirt and everything else seems to magnet to it. Would a certain rear spoiler help? (Worth a shot) Or is there anything I can do to keep it clean? This is always the first piece on the car to look bad

Keep your car clean and polished, use zaino cause dirt doesn't attract to it. Use a California duster after every trip and avoid driving in bad weather and dirty roads. Get a cheap daily driver and keep your nice f-body for sunny days and have a garage for your baby.

I have heard from some people that when the exhaust flows and the way that it circulates when coming out of the pipe that it somehow lands on the back bumper--that is what I have heard because I was wondering the same thing but that idea may be

It's gotta be something in the design. My '91 'bird collected dust on the bumper just like my '95 does.

Not BS at all dude. My car always gets dirt and stuff on the back bumper BAD. It's from the exaust. It didn't do it on my V6 I used to have. I hate that damn dirt though. Right after I wash my car and drive a little, the bumper is all dirtyed up again.

Well guys, if that's the case, try adjusting your exhaust tips because that's never happened to me. How about standing behind the car in the morning where you can see the exhaust and see where it's going?

The rear bumper is always going to be dull because it's constantly pressed by air. It's the aerodynamics of the car.

I dont have a problem with exhaust, but I can get a considerable ammount of dust on my car from simply driving down the driveway. Ive just learned to go as slow as possible. This will be my first year with zaino so Ill be seeing how that repels it come springtime.

I have a black car and when I just get done washing it I can run in the house to get a soda and come back and the damn thing is dirty again cant keep a black car clean. Now silver doesnt show dirt as bad.

The dirt on the bumper thing happens to almost every car. My moms car, dads car, my car, nearly every car. It is aerodynamics. The exhaust idea is unplausable.

I dont any spoiler would help, maybe an entire re-do on the rear end could correct it, but then your are wanting to redesign your rearend for some dust???

My friend has a Z06 and that thing gets dusty bad on the rear, mainly because of the design of the car so it will reduce lift. The best i can explain it is that is sucks to the ground and kinda vacuums up the grime.
