Yeah I get those also and with the turbo they seem to kick up under the car. I take my compressor with the long "wand" and blow them out. The tires are just so sticky. Those also accumulate under the wheel wells lips.

A pair of these will fix you right up. Just cut to fit. "Girl" available in several colors to match your car.

Just xpel'd mine before it was too late. They have a very nicely shaped precut that covers everything that needs to be in the arch itself then a piece that runs out under the rear fender/bumper beyond the arch. Seems to be a must. The car seems to have soft paint. My other cars are holding out better in this regard.

clear bra'd wheel arches when I did the front end - the car's paint is definitely soft

I wonder if they can be re-sprayed easily without blending too much. I have clear bra done and opti-coat.
