OK, so I generally appreciate splashing through puddles on the trail, up until now it was never really an issue. Good power washer and a bottom-blaster attachment, foam cannon and done. But not this time. I ended up bogged to the frame at Redbird SRA in Indiana on trail 3X a few weeks back. The door seals didn't hold and I got about 6" of thick goopy mud inside, all over the carpets, stained the floor and has gotten into everything. I've finally gotten the carpets dry (not clean, just dry) but the painted floorboards are still coated.

But worst of all is the plastic trim inside, especially the textured door panels. I simply cannot clean them, and by now I must have tried a dozen or more different detailing products. Is there any way to thoroughly clean these to like-new condition? I'm at my wits' end over this. Please and thanks.

Ok I know I don’t belong in the detailing section but when I have gotten mud on the door panels and it’s left discoloration I’ve had good luck with this and a soft bristle brush then immediately wiping with a terry cloth towel. I’m sure the detail guys will help you out with some better answers. 303 Protectant.

I would try acetone and a toothbrush, and then a vinyl treatment. It worked when I got super glue on the panels.
