Anybody ever heard of mud messing up paint

i went to the ranch last week and got some mud on it i washed it a day later and now theres smuges everywhere that wont come off. I have tried waxing, claying, and tried a compound and still wont come off.

if anyone has any info let me know

thanks

 

Was this a cattle ranch ? Cow poop is hard on paint,lots of acid.If not I dont know,red clay maby?

 

cattle hasnt been ran there in over 3yrs my old truck never got these smuges though

its pretty flippin annoying though ive washed it 4 times already

 

I was south of San Antonio in the mud some time back, and noticed after washing I had a residue on fender behind rear wheels - clay would not remove. I use Griot's Garage products, and took some Machine Polish #2 and took my time with Porter Cable random orbital buffer and sponge pads. After a few passes, and some pressure (random orbital is safe - I use it on wife's BMW...), the stuff came right off, Followed up with Polish #3, and Sealant. Seems that after I have covered the whole truck with Griot's sealant, nothing sticks. Hopefully your paint is not etched by the meadow muffins... How long was the stuff on your truck, before you washed it off? And/or, did the sun bake it on before you washed it off?

 

the stupid red clay/mud whatever the hell it is in the state of Georgia can stain the paint forever..found out the hard way and that stuff dries as if it were concrete..hard as hell to get off. man i hated being stationed out there

 

cleaned it the with in 2days....as soon as it stopped raining i took it to the car wash on my lunch break so it didnt bake at all. but ill give that stuff a shot thanks for yalls replies.
