Stained streaks from rubber under the windows

[HalBran]

Hello,

 

I get stained streaks near the door openings and mirrors that seem to come out of the rubber seal under the windows. It's not really greasy and it's really hard to clean.

 

Any idea what is and how to clean it? Am I the only one with this? My old black Cavalier had the same problem under the mirrors.

Every car i have/had does this. I always keep my cars waxed and simply washing them cleans it off easily.

If your regular washing technique is not doing it, I suggest applying some of your car wash soap directly (as in straight, and not much) to your wash mitt and go at the area. If that doesn't work, use a mild clay bar. Let me know how that works for you.

The Edge seems to catch more crud in there than my previous car, but I like to use a toothbrush along that flap and some soapy water. Usually, its a piece of something (dirt or turd) that's just lodged in there at a couple spots.
