Default Side visors dripping dirt and gunk

Been noticing when after washing my car, i have a dripping mark from the side visor, normally it is water mineral when the car is wipe off, but sometime, it is gunk that i have to clay off. It happen everytime i wash the car. The tricks that i did is use a small brush to clean out the crevasses around the visor base, but it keep dripping dirt particle and gunky stuff.

One last hope is to losen the visor base to really clean the inside.

Was that happen to other members ?

thank you

My theory is the side mirrors are in the trajectory of the wind rail to keep your car aerodynamic, so dust tend to accumulate in the crevasses. I have to deep clean with soap and air spray the crevasses. The other solution is to loosen the base to clean. Wonder if silicone spray the area will prevent further accumulation
