Default Rail dust

I have a lot of rail dust on my RC rear mostly around the licenses plate. Does anyone know any product that will remove it easily? I tried claying to some extent but it does not come off easy.

Also the RC wheels seem to love to splash a bunch of random stuff on my side skirts. I don't know if its tar or what but it is a red/brownish looking and it is near impossible to remove.

Should I just pay for my car to get detailed or is there a much cheaper alternative to remove the rail dust?

How to Remove Rail Dust with CarPro IronX and a Clay Bar by Addison Good

Every vehicle has rail dust... it is just easily visible on light colors. I recommend CarPro IronX as a quick and easy way to remove the rust specs.
