03 Side sills attract Dust/Dirt

Every Since I washed/waxed my 03 Max when I drive it the side sills have this light black dirt looking stuff that attracts to it after every drive. I can wipe it off before I leave and whenever I get out its their any one else have this problem? If so what did you do to stop the stuff from attracting to your car.

Do you have the splash guards? I do and the sills don't seem to get any dirtier than the rest of the car.

try a synthetic, like klasse or zaino. but that'll cost you few more dollars.. you might just want to deal with the dirt. your call though...
