Anyone else noticed their wing mirrors becoming especially dirty in the current conditions?

I can’t get over how grubby they seem to get compared to any other cars I’ve had. I know we now have fresh salt on the roads but these wing mirrors seem to attract it! To the point where they’re next to useless in the dark, and if I dry them by heating then it just makes them even worse.

Needing to wipe them every morning before I set off and by the time I get to work they need another clean!

You got "wings"? ..with mirrors on them?

Man... All I got was wheels!

Probably makes the car really hard to park though....



(sorry...)

No, No, I got it. No confusion. I was just being a smart a$$...

...as full payment for my misbehavior, I will have to say, I don't notice any major difference in dirt collection on the "Wing Mirrors" of my Taycan vs any of my other vehicles...

Maybe I just have to take the wings off and put the mirrors back where they belong then!

Mine aren’t very dirty (similar weather here on the other side of the Atlantic) but I am surprised at how dirty the rear of the car gets. The lower valance and panels behind the rear wheels get very dirty, very quickly on my car.
