Anyone figure out how to deal with all the dust that collects on the rear of our cars?

My detailer visits weekly and within 24hrs of just sitting in my garage, my car has a lot of dust on the rear -- not on top of the trunk, but on the side with the license plate, the rear bumper, etc.

Ostrich feather duster. Works great and more gentle than a California duster. Follow up with a spray detailer and you're golden.

Install some weatherstripping around your garage door as well. Made a huge difference for me.

I'm thinking of having a fan setup that blows air across that area as soon as he's done detailing .. waste of electricity, yes .. keeping my trunk area dust free until he comes the next week = priceless

You could always just back into the garage. Rear will no longer be dusty. But then you may have to post about the front....lol
