Okay, I live in Georgia. Georgia is known for its "Georgia Clay". Now what I know is that it will stain your clothes, and ruin just about anything that comes to "mess" with it.
Well I had my Jeep covered from excessive mudding, and I just decided to let it sit, because, of course, it looked good graemlins/laughing.gif

Well, I finally rinse it off(keep in mind, not WASH, no soap or anything) because it rained recently, and now it looked retarted. Well I rinse it off, and...my fenders and the rubber lining on the windows are still holding there mud graemlins/icon_banghead.gif

And underneath, it used to be so clean and suave(lol) pure black. Now its like **** brown. Some parts are black(the mud that came off) and some have spots of mud.

Anyone have any ideas on how to clean this, before its WAY too late.
I've learned my lesson to clean my XJ after wheeling. :eek:

That Sh*T sounds like Louisiana red clay will never come off graemlins/werdsign.gif . Well I have tried Armarol, WD40 for the rubber just depends on how long it has set :confused: . For the pait use MOTHERS polish/ light cleaner :)

In TX now so don't haft to worrie about it

Hope this helps

Here's a tip before you go muddin',use a spray bottle with baby oil to spray down your rockers & wheel wells. Helps when you go to the car wash, it returns it back to normal.

The pressure washer does work real good withe under body and the rubber on the windows, heck it works wonders on everything. That is the most I wash my Jeep. Just a good spraying with the PW.

K, the "stains" on the paint can be taken off with my finger, but not with a normal hose(strange I know) so I just need to soap it up. But do you think the PW will do the stains on the undercarriage, and the rubber? After 3 weeks of set.?
