Mud and Puddles Affect All Sorts of Vehicles

If you have an off-road vehicle or any vehicle for that matter, and your passion is driving on the tracks beyond urban asphalt, you need to pay attention to the body of your car. It's equally important to keep the vehicle clean inside and out, but each washing process is different and has its peculiarities and complications.

It's not "Just Dirt"

Although it may seem harmless, mud can leave a significant and lasting mark on the car's 'skin.' When cleaning the bodywork, you must pay special attention to the tools you will use. It's necessary to be extremely careful when picking the cloths and sponges you're going to use. You must also clean using soft manual motions to avoid scratches. Before putting any cloth on the paint, pay attention as the mud can contain small stones that can scratch the bodywork.

Quick Guide to Clean Mud Off Your Car

It's crucial to be a responsible owner and avoid any carelessness regarding the vehicle's maintenance. If you wait for long periods of time before cleaning your car, the mud on the body will create a crust, and it's not a decorative element you'd want to keep. If you're going to give your vehicle an original touch or change its color, it's best to request an estimated price and give it a professional "facelift" from time to time. Remember that leaving mud, dirt, bird droppings, or tree resin are all remarkably corrosive. If they cover the car for a long time, these factors can damage your vehicle's paint. That's why it's more comfortable and convenient to remove it as soon as possible.

The First Thing You Have to Do

Get the vehicle wet. The moisture will soften all the mud and facilitate the cleaning process. Then, it's time to use pressurized water; this is the best way to remove dirt without the possibility of scratching the vehicle with tiny hidden stones. Be careful too, because pressure washing also comes with its harms for the car's paint and surface.

A Couple of Cleaning Tricks to Be Mindful Of

Screenshot and write down this list of suggestions so you don't forget any when cleaning the vehicle's bodywork:
  • You will need a specific soap for washing the car's body.
  • As previously mentioned above, it's best to choose a softer cloth to clean mud, so go for the microfiber ones to clean the car and avoid scratches.
  • Use water to remove the excess debris. If any dirt remains, it can cause stains in the paint.
  • If any area resists your cleaning efforts, use warm water so that the mud softens is easier to remove.
  • Clean the car as you usually would take care of the paint and interior of it.
  • You should use a brush and soapy water for the tires, the exhaust pipe, and the bottom of the vehicle. In this way, you can clean the less visible parts of the car. Remember that a clean car inside and out will extend its useful life and preserve its value if you decide to sell it.
  • It is crucial, so don't forget to clean the body from top to bottom, from the roof to the wheels. Be sure to clean the lower areas, since they accumulate a lot of dirt and could rust the body.
  • Use a microfiber cloth and dry the car by patting it down. The reason is the same as at the beginning, any debris that scratches the vehicle might be lying around still.
  • Finally, don't forget to apply a little wax to restore its shine.
