I've had my white Kizashi for a year now, and something that has always bothered me are these black streaks that appear below all four door handles, and sometimes below the driver's side door too. I think it must be water ingress causing grease to leach out and run down the paint. It's easy enough to clean off, but it always reappears within a few days.

Does anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?
