I am having trouble finding a product to get the road grime off my corsa tips, and from behind the rear tire. Any suggestions?

I need to get some new detail stuff...i was a wash boy/ detailer at Arrowhead Lexus and when i left i took alot of cleaning supplies with me...i ran out...

P.S. best tool when detailing, airhose with a fine tip blower...trucks leak EVERYWHERE!

Mothers and mcguires is all i really use...i need to get a small buffer, i do it by hand usually, but a while back i got metal bits on my truck and they rusted on the paint, talk about having to scrub and add swirls...that was the day i ended my weekly detail...and now the truck is covered with frost every morning so its pointless to wash it...i miss phoenix winters. 3 months and the truck still looked good.
