Messy dirt on slide

after setting up camp, i did a walk around and noticed that the whole full wall slide was covered in real black dirt spots. almost looked like someone dumped a grill on it. it took alot of work to clean. i only drove 30 miles, but the baystar has been sittin outside for about a month. is this a runoff from the slide topper?

Could it be road oil? I have never had anything like that come off my slide toppers.

I had something like this on our coach forward and read of the passenger side rear tires. It washed right off and I attributed it to road oils like TJ suggested. We had been at the factory so traveled through Indiana and Ohio road construction sites. It has not returned since, so I don't think it was anything other than road grime.
