Cleaned car still looks dirty!!!

I cleaned and dried my black camaro, and it still looks dirty. And when I rub my finger on it, it feels rough, nothing moves. (Like if it was just dusty) Can anyone tell what is going on here please?

Pictures are needed to tell for sure.

You could have a little overspray on it, or it could just need a good ole claybaring!

I've been battling this as well!
I spend so much time cleaning up and detailing AFTER a car wash that I wonder why I washed it in the first place. Cause you can't just wash 'n go Black.

it's why i switched to silver. I had it trying to keep up black vehicles. beautiful cars when they are just detailed in indirect light, but other than that, they show everything.

You need to clay. What you feel are surface contaminants that washing isn't gonna touch. Clay will pull it right out
