I don't know if this is a coupe thing or not. The rear end of my car gets more dirty than the rest of my car. When I clay barred my car the first time the bar was clean after every section except for the rear and it was pretty dirty. Winter time it's a nightmare. Does this happen to hatch's and sedans?

I see this as way more prevalent with my coupe's fat butt than other cars I've had. My assumption is the weird shapes create a dirt vortex behind the car that tends to pick up more dust than other shapes. That and all the nooks and crannies back there are like an english muffin full of dirt, that, upon getting damp, drip down, again, it's fat butt.

Yes, but not to the extent it does to my coupe. I've had hatches and sedans and none has been even close to this bad.
I have the same issue, my car is silver but after every rain and snow, the back looks black, way up under the piece that lights up across the trunk and everything. I got splash guards on and it doesn't help at all,lol

I haven't looked but wonder if there is a "hole" or dead spot around the rear bumper that sucks are and dirt up into it, basically swirling the dirt up from the road? Turbulence can do weird things.

Now that I think about it I wonder about the old Porsches out there, specifically 944 and 928, anyone know if they have similar issues? It's kind of a similar shape back there...

Definitely much worse on my 10th gen Si coupe than my 8th gen Si coupe, no wonder the back up cam needs to be cleaned 10 times a day haha. Doesn't help that a lot of touchless car washes don't spray at the right angle to give the rear a good cleaning.

My sedan is like this. Always the dirtiest part of entire car. I might it is this type of car some how. My 08 Civic did not gather dirt like this primarily on the back end.

My SI coupe is always filthy between the tail lights and the exhaust. I've had to accept that it is a daily driver and it's unreasonable to clean it every day.
