How can I remove mud stains from paint?
I went through some mud in my white jeep and after cleaning it there are these weird marks that almost look like water stains. We tried waxing the hell out of it but doesn't work. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks
Thanks

with a big wool pad on a buffing wheel with medium cut polishing compound,just be careful not to burn through,use a variable speed polisher so you ca n get use to the process first,and spread the polish around on the surface first so it does not end up everywhere.

It is not a big deal,just start slow and move the polisher back and forth,do not leave in one spot,polish until compound is gone,and do not do it in direct sunlight.

Mr. Clean Eraser pad :-) worked for me and didn't kill the paint. but I take no responsibility for damage to your vehicle from you trying to clean every little spot off of it and hurting your elbow. Oh and don't forget to wash and wax afterwards cause it will take the dirt and everything else off but the paint.

My buddy just used some polishing compound and a buffer and it worked! We were just about to get a wool pad but we got it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
