    road grime still sticking

    Our family has a 2012 lease that we are turning in on tuesday. I want to make it look nice for the dealer. However, road grime never goes away and has always been hard to keep off. I recently clayed the vehicle and added a coat of collinite 845. Any idea while the road grime still sticks ?

    Its more of film than grime. Usually stays on during a wash
