Black residue on back bumper

Who else gets fed up with the black exhaust residue on the rear of their car, that piles up two days after you detail it!? has anyone else come to carrying a rag with them at all times?..because i do.

the only reason you have black residue is because you probably have a fart can the size of your rims!

im running mods, idk lean or not, but i love my corsa because it sticks out maybe 3 inches further out then the stock tip so it never gets on my bumper

Yup...i notice it on mine.
i blame it on the "rally yellow"

But so far..the dealer washed it when i first bought it..i washed it 2 times.
Now the dealer is washing it again because i had to drive it over there after i told them i dont drive this in winter for my 3rd gear grind.
So he said they'll wash it..whatever...free wash, wax, tire clean, vacuum...less work for me.
