WHY DOES THE BACK BUMPER AND SIDES GET DIRTY SO FAST??

i am guessing that your car is fairly new and that you dont dust the rear...

my solution is to detail the car- keep it covered most of the time and to dust the rear bumper when i see dust.
a good wax will help to minimize this too.
if your car is new it will dust more as the brakes seat and the exhaust breaks in. it will still dust some after that, but not nearly as much in my experience.

I think the reason it gets dirty faster than the rest of the car may have something to do with aerodynamics. I'm thinking that there's some kind of vacuum created while driving that deposits pollution and road grime on the bumper.
