Removing dirt from the paint...

I finally got around to removing the fenderwell trim and moonroof visor my car came with (it's been about 6 months) and now there's a fine line of dirt where the rubber made contact with the vehicle. how could I go about removing this? seems like the dirt just baked into the paint..

civicdude will become famous soon enough
Pick up a bottle of Meguires Paint Cleaner (Step 1) or some 3M rubbing compound. That should do the trick in removing the dirt from the paint.
