Never fear, it does it here in Calif too.  The real problem is that even
though you clean it off, it will reappear with time.  It would seem to be
something molded into the rubber -  I used brake cleaner to clean mine off,
then application of STP rubber Treatment.  TWICE!  It eventually came back
both times -
