Road grime on side aero flares

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of tar, dirt, etc. building up on the leading edge of their side aero flares? I tried claying the area yesterday, and it wouldn't come off. Any suggestions? Has anyone used Autoglym tar remover?

Geez, just a light amount of any national bug and tar remover, don't leave it on long, rinse well and re-wax. Clean them more often then or get the front splash shields.

I am getting stone chips as well.

The front tires are picking these up and causing this gamage. It would have beed a good idea to have this section protected with some of the clear vinyl stuff from the start.

I thought of adding a front mud flap but I dont like the look.
