Yes, but I feel like that's a problem with every single car.

BTW, I'm glad I left NY 8 years ago and didn't look back. Miss the people, but it's 80 here and your pic shows snow on the ground.

Wah has a clean bumper there in the same area on his Mw M4. He keeps it so by enjoying his Nissan. No other info on this, I keep my eyes closed if approaching mine on daylight.

The aerodynamics of most every car create a low pressure zone behind the car at speed which means that you drives down the road, dirt is actually sucked towards the rear bumper.

I also noticed this it. Cleaned it a few times, sure enough after a zipping around town car is clean except rear bumper. One of it's quirks.

I read this in an old thread recently. Interested to see if diffusers change the airflow any.

IMO, white tends to show this more than other colors. It ultimately gives me more reason to wash my car more often - which I'm now starting to enjoy.
