    Left some mud on my Samurai for a week and a half. I just did a pre-wash to remove the heavier stuff. Now there are dull spots where the mud was, and I can feel "low spots" in the paint where these dull spots are. RIP clear coat

    Maybe you shouldn't go muddin near the toxic waste dump? Bummer about the paint.

    I only eat the heavy gray paint chips. Easier on the teeth.

    Dirt bikers learn fast to wash a bike quick. Some soils are acidic, mix a little water with it and anodizing, clear coats etc can rapidly be damaged.
