Black Dust on Rear Bumper ???
Does anyone know what that black dust is that gathers after a while. Its kindof of powdery and wipes right off with a car duster. Just was wondering if that was from the tires or exhaust. I figured it couldn't be the exhaust because thats usually sticks.

Ah, the black dust. I'll bet you have alabaster color. The aerodymanics picks up all the dust (inc brake dust) and grit as you drive and places it on the rear bumper and rear quarter panels. Keep it below 100 mph and it will disappear (just kidding). It's there on all cls's, more noticible on alabaster.
PS. You're better off not using a duster since it can scratch your finish. Just hand wash it more often. Better to have dust than scratches.
