you're just running rich some run richer that others. I get a little bit but i wash it like once a week so i dont have a problem. just feel bad for the ones who get a shitload in like an hour and lets hope your car is dark.

Edit: dont let too much compile or else it gets real thick and sticky and its ******* impossible to get off

Pretty much every 5th gen Ive seen on the street including mine has the nice black powder accent arount the back bumper/exhaust pipe.

As for black suits collecting on the back of your car, could there have been a wedding or other formal event near by?

What kind of suit? Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers? I could use a black suit for funerals and weddings and stuff.

If you've taken off your cat and put on a new exhaust - the car should have spat out a lot of carbon......but yeah - seems like you're running rich - get a wideband o2 and a digital A/F controller - along with a VAFCII controller and tune it....

If you get an excessive amount that doesn't seem to want to wash off, claybar it and watch it come off
