The Leaf was my first white car purchase - I generally prefer color but was worried that the AC would be wimpy and wanted to make sure the load was kept as low as possible (I live in Phoenix, AZ). Luckily the AC rocks but now I am noticing a fine layer of black grime developing weekly - particularly on the back panels. It started out very bad at first and I thought maybe the dealer put something on the tires that was flying off. However 2 months later, I still have to wipe down the car down regularly (at least weekly) to avoid buildup. I was wondering if this happens to all cars and you only notice on a white car or if maybe the special eco-tires on the Leaf were the culprit. Any one else notice this on their Leaf or other ICEs?
