Default How do you clean behind the wheels?

How do you all clean the area of PAINT right behind the wheels(where you would see splash marks if you drove through water)?? My paint is in pretty good condition (Black car with 37k miles) but this area does not look like the way I want it to. How do you get it to match the rest of your car.

Jack up the car and clean them from underneath the car or just take off each wheel.

Pick up some Tar & Bug remover (or whetever they want to call it) from your local auto shop. It's made to be safe for the paint and it takes that crap off really well. You'll need to re-wax that area after you use it though.

I am not talking about the wheel well, I am talking about actual paint where it meets the wheel well near the bottom of the car behind the tires.

Thanks, I will try the bug & tar remover.
