How do I keep my Trunk Lid Clean?
Has anybody got suggestions on the best way to remove the oily soot deposits that accumulate on the trunk lid and rear of the car, without stripping the paint finish off? My Ivory White SDL really shows up the residue and its driving me nuts trying to keep it clean.
 I did a search, but no conclusive answers.

Check your injectors their shouldn't be any black soot on the back of your car.
But a clay bar would probably take the light stuff off. Try Claymagic.

Dish soap and water will get it off, then wax the heck out of it ....will help future cleaning....I get lots of crud on the rear of mine too. Tan showes every spot oh so well.

Dervman,
Perhaps you could try an extension on your tailpipe. P E H

I have not washed my car in a week and their is no soot on the trunk lid. It is blue granted but I would see it on the chrome and gray bumper.
