    Ever since I have owned my 03 yellow 360 I have been plagued with the sill below the drivers door getting covered in brake dust and road dirt within a few miles of driving.
    This only happens on the drivers side and also not on the door.
    Last night I parked the car and noticed a cigarette wrapper sticking to the sill.On investigation it would appear that this section gets a static electric charge when I drive the car and attracts any dust that comes near.
    Has anyone seen or heard of this before and more important know of a fix as it drives me mad to clean and polish the car only to have this part dirty in 10 mins again.

    Thanks for any help Russell

    Don't take this the wrong way but as soon as most of us take our "show cars" out they get dirty Quick. I can notice my black 360 getting dirty within 1.5 miles. Take a micro fiber towel to the wheels after 1.5 miles their dirty. When I bought my car I was very picky with the dealer but they put it into perspective for me. They said, "if your looking for a garage queen this isn't it. But if your looking for a very clean well maintained car you can also drive and not worry about getting a stone chip, this is the car." And you know what, they were right I enjoy my car and enjoy cleaning it after a short or a long drive.
    Now that I think about it, the car gets dirty sitting in the garage. But, the only way to keep it clean in there is to cover up my Italian Art Work...and thats no good!

    No offence taken.
    If you knew me you would understand I use my cars and have no problem with rain and dirt.
    This is not the usual amount of road dirt but a large amount in only one specific area caused by static build up.
