I am surprised these exhaust stains are showing up on your dark slate, but not my white. But maybe by the time I have 12K, I might see them too.
If nobody else here is getting those stains, maybe you are idling longer than normal? Or maybe your engine or ignition system is out of tune? Or a trace of oil may be leaking around your rings or through a gasket and into your exhaust system? Anyone here have any ideas?

That's pretty darn abrasive on a microscopic level. I don't think I'd want to use that on my clearcoat.....
Test for yourself.
Get it wet and rub it a few times on your exposed wrist and see what it does to your skin.
On second thought, trust me, do NOT do that. It's pretty nasty... Take my word.
