Blue Magic works well on tar and grease. I am not certain what you mean by dirt. A photo would be helpful

Still not certain what type of grease-dirt you are talking about. WD40 removes grease assuming that the grease is some sort of petroleum byproduct. If WD40 will not remove it, then it is not grease.

Dirt is a generic term but I assume that the dirt is on top of the clearcoat. No need to get drastic about dirt. A one-step was such as Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax BM46016 should remove surface dirt.

If wax is not successful, then you may have stained the clearcoat. If this is the case, have a pro look at it. Self-help solutions may damage the clearcoat.

And yes I drive a white 350Z.

I like the BLAST method myself.

Although the flame method does have its merits.

Keeping a good coat of wax on your car really helps with the grease, dirt and bug removal. I wax the front end every time it gets washed, makes the bugs come right off after re-dydration.
