no....just something we gotta deal with. The only option is an anit static spray formula, like Zaino z 6. That doesnt eliminate the problem, it just maybe helps a bit.

It isn't just exhaust, it is road debris, or a combination of the two.
I wiped off the back bumper this morning after the dew got on it, and I drove to work. There was ALOT of black debris on the bumper.....on a white car it looked like ***!
So I guess I will carry a rag with me to wipe off the bumper in the mornings.

I have the same problem but with my front bumper, that thing will not stay clean.
I'm going to claybar all the ground in dirt this weekend and give it a good wax so the crap will just wipe off

It comes from the water in the grooves of the hatch/trunk area. after you wash your car pop the hatch and let the water drip and dry that also. Its because that area is still dirty and the water drips with the dirt in it onto the back bumper.
