Bought my wife a new 2017 civic ext a few days ago and both sides of car have black oil grease that is getting all down side of car and wheel wells. what do you guys think it is? underneath is real clean. maybe factory frame grease.

I'm going to guess an overly zealous prep guy put on too much tire dressing.

Probably drove through or followed a greasy truck. I spent 2hrs last week clay barring my car because it had grease specks all down the passenger side. 99% sure it was from one of the dump trucks/big rigs I always seem to get stuck behind.
