MY tailgate and rear window are dirty after driving 5 miles. I doubt anything can be done about it, just want to vent. Does everyone else have this notice this? Other SUV's that I have owned did not have this issue to this extent.

Thanks

Yup. mud flaps helps but pretty much the back is dirty even when the rest of the car looks clean.

California Car Dusters work great for that.

Only if you live in a warm dry climate...lol
True that! The surface needs to be clean otherwise you can scratch the clear coat. I only use one after I’ve recently washed it and before the dust/dirt has gotten wet. Also a good wax or sealer needs to be used.

Even after ceramic coating it still gets dirty fast.

Yeah, I use the original California car duster everytime I come back and park my car. The rear glass does accumulate lot of dust even after a short drive especially if you have Not had rain/snow for sometime and have dry dusty conditions.
