So a few months back I sold the car I had that was my everyday car, a '94 Pontiac Grand Am, thus leaving my GT as my sole means of transportation. Unfortunately, being in Ohio, I've had to brave the elements of Winter and drive through the slush on roads and deal with ice, etc... To my dismay, a brown sort of crud has accumulated on the bottom of my doors on each side (not the doors themselves, but I guess the trim underneath them), and it is beginning to cake on there.

My question is how do I get the crud off?

Thank you

 

If you can get a chance to wash it do it before it has more time to sit on there.

Wash with a car soap first to get the easy stuff off, then try a bug/tar remover. That should get most of it off. I would then clay-polish-glaze-wax the car. This should make it harder for the stuff to stick, also whenever you can wash the car to keep build up to a minimum.

 

salt?

 

Powerwash it every now and then!
