another way to elimate this problem is to us "GE" Silicone II Clear Window/Door Sealant... works great, easy to install... can use your finger to shape, etc... from the bottom area all the way to the top. It drys to touch within an hour, and when fully dry. remains very flexible so minor flexing of the plastic wheel well does not crack it. You cannot see it at all! Even my dealer loves the fix and highly suggests this to customers who inquire. Make sure to use the GE brand as it is the best on commercial building applications...

Thanks, these are all great ideas. I usually flush those area for 10 minutes when I wash the car thousands of sand like particles float away. Haven't looked for larger pebbles but will today. Hate to think what a grinding this is giving to the panels interior surfaces.

Good option, just need to super sure it's clean and I would remove all excess to avoid a discolored line over time
