Behind tires on black gloss trim. Anyone experience this yet. First time for me. Salt grim from roads here in NY. See picture. Chemical guys soap Mr pink didn't clean off. Any suggestions? Asked dealer also. Waiting. Asked chemical guys and waiting.

This is what I use as recommended by my detailer when I bought the car. I don't know if it's available in the U.S. though.

https://bilthamber.com/product/surfex-hd/

Spray on and let it dwell for a couple of minutes (25% Surfex and 75% water). Don't let the sun dry it out. Then I power washer it off. Use it on the wheels and tyres as well. For interior cleaning on plastic use 2% Surfex and 98% water.

Once removed, it Might help to use Detailer solution after washing. Like Wolfgang Uber. Causes water to bead up.

My black arches appear to be coated in iron. Actually most of my car does. I don't have the salt issue as it's hardly wet here but wow was I amazed at the amount of embedded junk. I'm going to do an iron remover and clay bar the entire car as it appears it wasn't previously loved all that much.
