    Provided by a dusty road. Check out the perfectly straight line in the dust along the back edge of the spoiler. (Which I repainted last weekend.)

    What's weird is the dust shadows left by two round stickers on the glass and a big one on the hatch. The glass and paint look completely clean yet something left behind attracted dust on the glass and repelled it on the paint.

    That looks like a much shorter dusty road than the gravel road I normally use in Idaho.

    Went from Weiser out to the Galloway dam then roundabout some very back roads to Midvale, then on 95 back to Weiser.
