Good question, but I can say for a fact that all on board electrical appears to be in proper order.

I had a 61 Nash metropolitan that I restored and had sitting next to the camaro. It got dust too but never developed the circles.

Its consistently happening in the same spot.

So, a charge via the vechicle combined with the properties of the "dust" are creating the "sticking" as they are magnetically charged, bonding them to the deck lid.

Try waxing the hood with an synthetic wax, smaller on a molecular scale, it will help from keeping the fibers stick, charged or not....

Call you local CSI unit, there just sittin around anyway

Fun stuff, glad you posted this. I love this technical stuff. I get to do it at work too, from time to time
