How to clean the black stripes??

My Clubman is Blue with Black stripes. How do I clean the stripes??? You can see crap in the black that I can't get out with regular car wash soap. Any idea's?

From: In the here and now, for now.
Mother's California Gold Showtime instant detailer
Meguiar's Quick detailer
Turtle Wax Ice quick detailer
All are available in most auto supply stores like O'Reily or Auto Zone.
For a microfiber cloth get those ONLY for auto paint detailing not those cheap dime store dust rags.
When you get the stripes nice and clean give them two or three coats of carnuba wax to help protect them. NEVER polish over them either by hand or machine. If you do ever polish - after a clay bar treatment - mask them off. Don't clay bar over them either.

I use Maguire's Paint Scrub cleaner to clean the surface and follow up with Zymol wax. Works great for me.
