Default which part of your vette gets dirty the fastest?

on mine - the back bumper
it seems like all the road dirt and grime just gets thrown up and sticks to the bumper, esp. where the liscence plate is

is it a low pressure area or something?

The back for sure but just as bad are the rear quarters, always full of tar and sh**, hard to keep clean

I would have to say the black gets dirty fastest. (Black paint that is.)
Gotta love a black car.

My concave rear facia is maybe the 2nd worst area.

With the white painted wheels on my 35th Anna, they are definitely the first to show grime and the hardest to maintain.

Rear drives me nuts. .I've got a greenwood spoiler..I thought it was because of it..guess it's just vette back draft.

I'd also say the backend. The tail lights are like a dust magnet

The rear taillights always build up dust and dirt even just after washing. I try to keep her clean... :flag
