Some will frown about this, but have you tried a magic eraser?

It's a combination of air pollution and material coming off the wiper finishes.

There's not much to be done other than cleaning it up first and waxing the hell out of it. That'll help slough off further dirt later. But it will come back, this is just nature of the beast. One way to perhaps minimize it would be to switch to a different wiper arm assembly; one with a different finish.

Wash, wax with an oxidation remover, wax and polish. I do it constantly.
