My wife has backed it out recently when I'm not home to move trash cans and then pulled it back in after letting it idle a bit. Could that be it?

It's perfectly normal, And pretty easy to remove with Mother's metal polish or Never-Dull.

I've learned to wash the car and regularly check the exhausts for periodic cleaning and polish.

Simple green is my favorite. Any all-purpose cleaner will do the trick!

never dull does wonders, especially if you aren't running cats on the car. That stuff is amazing at polishing everything up!
