Anyone live in the south?

How do i get the orange clay stains off the black plastic? The roads here are sometimes muddy after a good washout rain where the roads crews have been.

A tooth brush (er. excuse me, a detailing brush ) along with some car shampoo, would probably work.

awesome. thanks DneprDave.
i didn't want to do anything to it in case I did something wrong. Now I can get those nasty stains off of there. i am done with looking like I don't care about my car.
All i need now is a good wax that will repel pollen and all will be great.

Be careful not to get wax on that black trim, it won't be as easy to get off as the clay.

Here is a thread with some solutions for that.

We here in the far south don't have no clay.
We got sand, all the you could ever want.
We got sugar sand, white sand, brown sand, mocha sand, oil & sand, black sand, peach sand.
We got sand you might get stuck in, sand you will get stuck in , sand that gets between your toes, sand that gets in your eyes, and then there's the everyday sand that gets into EVERYTHING!

do you have a special vacuum for your mini to get all the sand out of the cracks?
we went to charelston over the weekend and some of Folly beach came home with us.
