What to Do When Mud Sticks to the Car?

After applying foam, first rinse with a high-pressure water gun to check for parts that cannot be washed away. Touch by hand to confirm if the mud has solidified. Use "tar and asphalt cleaner" to evenly spray on the solidified mud, being careful not to cover too wide an area. Reapply foam cleaner and wipe with a car wash sponge, then rinse again with a high-pressure water gun. Finally, wipe away water droplets with a cloth.
Last time I went off-roading, the car was covered in thick mud that stuck firmly. I prefer to deal with it immediately to avoid clogging sensors or damaging the paint. First, I use a high-pressure water gun to rinse off large chunks of mud, softening it; then, I gently scrub stubborn areas with a soft-bristle brush, avoiding hard objects that could scratch the paint. I also add some specialized car wash detergent to help dissolve stains. After washing, I apply a layer of car wax for protection, making it harder for mud to stick next time. Preventive measures are also important, such as avoiding muddy routes or promptly cleaning the undercarriage. Regular maintenance can extend the car's lifespan and avoid unnecessary repair costs. Remember to rinse thoroughly with clean water to prevent mud residue from accumulating in corners, which could lead to rust. This method is not only quick and safe but also hassle-free.
