Car Wash failed me

So I went to the car wash today to get my car nice n clean. However, my fender has dirt still on it, seems like.. brake dust or something. Tried to get it off seems like its one with the paint. Anyone have any remedies to get it out?

If your fender did get "washed" then clay should do the trick. And do your whole car while your at it.

If this is a hands on car wash (like with the brushes) then shame on you for doing that to your car.

If this is a touchless car wash then yeah, that kind of stuff is gonna happen. In order to remove all dirt you have to get your hands dirty so to speak. High pressure water will only remove so much dirt.

Washing at home (or somewhere you can avoid the suns rays directly) with quality products is the only way to treat your car IMO.
