> in Philadelphia ... Every time I washed my car there was a thick black layer of soot covering it within a couple days

A layer of soot in Philadelphia? I've spent plenty of time there, know plenty who live there, and never saw or heard of such a thing. Were you parking next to a chimney sweep?

I lived in LA and got layers of "soot" on my windows.. the screen would be black with mostly tire and road particles I think.

People in Philadelphia are like abused children. They’ll defend it to the last, but it’s not called filthadelphia for nothing.
