What to Do When Mud Stains on the Car Won't Wash Off?
2 Answers
Methods to deal with mud stains on the car that won't wash off: If it's a mud stain, it can definitely be washed off. You can use a small amount of tar remover to clean it. If it really won't come off, you can go to a car wash place and use professional cleaning agents. If it's not a mud stain, then it can only mean that the car body was scratched and mud got stuck on it, requiring polishing. Below is some relevant information about polishing: 1. The role of polishing: Reduce the roughness of the paint surface; Remove small scratches and spots; Remove the oxidation layer; Make the paint surface more shiny. 2. Introduction to polishing: Car polishing is a step in the car beauty process where polishing is done before waxing, sealing, or coating. Because sealing or coating must first go through polishing, and only a finely polished car can achieve a mirror-like finish. This is a necessary step for sealing. Without polishing, the car paint will not be smooth, and the sealing will last a very short time, failing to achieve long-term adhesion, making it no different from waxing.
I also had a headache last time when my car's rear was covered in mud splashes. Don't rush to scrub it hard with a brush! When mud dries, it becomes extremely sticky. It's best to use a high-pressure water gun to rinse off the surface mud from the side. Pay attention to keep the water flow parallel to the paint surface while rinsing, and avoid direct spraying at seams to prevent water seepage. If the mud stains have clumped, try soaking a pure cotton towel in warm water, cover the area for half an hour to soften it, then use a car wash sponge dipped in neutral car shampoo to gently scrub in circles. Remember, never use hard brushes or dish detergent—a $2 car shampoo from the supermarket is enough. If stains remain, it might be due to acid rain reacting with mud to form stubborn marks. In that case, use a clay bar with lubricant to lightly wipe. If you can't handle it yourself, just drive to a car wash shop. Their rotary clay machine can easily solve the problem, and you can get a wax coating for protection—next time mud splashes won't leave marks.
