Cleaning behind side skirts.

Ive done some google'ing and quick searching via the forums search bar. But maybe i'm asking the wrong questions or typing in the wrong words.

But how do you all clean behind the side skirt without removing it. Im aware that my 2013 Fit Sport has factory drilled holes to accommodate the skirt. Im also sorta aware as to how to remove the thing. But I want to avoid doing all that.

What would be the best way to clean that area. So. In between the OEM side skirts and rockers.

I ask because I try to keep the car as clean as possible. Ottawa winters are brutal with the salt mixture and all. I have my car annually Krown'd and wash it from time to time in the winter at local car washes. BUT.. just cant seem to figure out how to clean the crap outta that space!!

Any tips and tricks would be awesome.

Soap with a pressure washer is probably your best bet. Let the soap dwell on the area for a bit before rinsing.

I am going through my 6th winter and no rust problems. I use no touch car wash at Crappy Tire.
