What products are best for cleaning a white M3, in particular the caked on dirt along the sides on the bottom. I used Meguiars to clean it the first time but it did nothing to the caked on dirt. Also, what should I use to clean the interior? Thanks.

Probably any regular car wash should work. I use a foam cannon with Griots Garage foam. But I don't really know how to deal with caked on stuff as I never let my car get that bad.
But I can recommend Simple Green all purpose cleaner for the interior. Two microfiber towels. One with a few spritzes of Simple Green, the other to wipe it off. This is for maintenance on a regular basis. I use it on my 2022 MSLR perforated seats, MaxPider floor mats, dash and even the Alcantara phone charger. I've never cleaned the instrument panel in front of the yoke, too scared to scratch it.
Go to the rag company. You'll find some good rags. Don't use costco micros on your paint or shiny surface as they do leave swirl marks. I do use them on all the glass, mats and non -shiny surfaces.
Edit: I tried the so called special glass waffle weave and other glass specific rags. I wasted my $ there. Just use costo ones.

You can dilute Power Clean to different strengths, depending on what you are cleaning. For example, to clean dirt and traffic film on the lower parts of the car, I would put some Power Clean in a spray bottle diluted 3 parts water to 1 part Power Clean, spray it on the dirty panel, let it dwell 30 sec to a minute, and then wash the panel with your normal car soap. Or you can add a couple ounces of Power Clean to your car soap solution to give it a bit more cleaning "umph".
You can also use Power Clean to clean interiors, but I would dilute it 5 parts water to 1 part Power Clean for interiors.
A lot of "pH Neutral" car soaps are designed to be gentle enough not to strip wax or sealants, but as a result, they don't clean as well. Power Clean has a higher pH and a stronger cleaning ability. But it may degrade or strip waxes or sealants. If you have a ceramic coating, it should be fine.
I ordered MrPink from Chemical Guys. I saw lots of positive reviews and recommendations on that online, for luxury cars, so I hope it will do the trick for Teslas too. They also have some White Light product for white cars, but havent yet decided on that one.
