Best way to get dirt off edges of clear bra ?

I have a clean bra on my Mineral white M3, was bought with it on. I keep my car super clean but alway struggle with getting the dirt out of the edges of the bra. Anyone know a good way to do so or any tricks or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Cotton swab such as a q-tip with rubbing alcohol. Then wipe with wet cloth or rinse. Not good to get too much alcohol on the paint. You can also try the Xpel cleaner with a microfiber cloth.

My car is MG, so it may not apply to you, but I just squirt some quick detailer/waterless wash along the seam and gently wipe with a quality microfiber cloth with very slight pressure against the seam. If dirt actually gets under the edge of the clear bra there is not much you can do.

My detailer told me to use a soft toothbrush with some water. Then basically clean it up after using said toothbrush like washing or something like that. But it will come back again lol so...
