black marks on your pearl maxima?

maybe i'm the only one but there's always black marks showing up that are a pain in the *** to get off. the door handles are the worst area. washing my car does barely anything even if you scrub really hard. anyway, i ended up trying some clorox soft scrub with bleach after testing it on my busted up bumper. it's amazing and gets all crap buildup off in a few rubs and doesn't dull the clearcoat or anything. i re-washed the areas i scrubed though which is probably a no brainer anyway, i thought i'd share the findings...

My pearl SE hides the dirt very well, no black marks, however.
When it's clean and waxed it's spectacular.

yeah, that's why i did the test on my damaged bumper. i might even go as far to say that it's glossier now but it still seems kind of sketchy because of the bleach but so far so good. thanks, i'll try the clay bar next time i wash my car a few months from now probably
