My son had a T-ball game at our local park. It rained last night and made a mud pit out of a section of road leading to the fields. I was very careful going in, but heading out the darkness masked a couple of big holes. I was going very slowly, but still managed to get some mud below the doors. I dont' have any time until Thursday to even attempt a hand wash and if it doesn't happen then, it won't be until Sunday.
Is there a quick, SAFE way to remove the mud until I can baby it off? I was thinking going to the spray wash. Use the low pressure pre wash to loosen the dirt and then spray it off.
Any other suggestions? I just got the car (month old) and don't want mar the finish. Thanks.

If you're talking about a touchless automated carwash, I wouldn't do it. The jets can carry rocks in the mud across your clearcoat. Unfortunately, the safest way to take mud off your car is the most time-consuming: use a low-pressure hose only to get off the bulk, then handwash with loads of lubrication (extra doses of carsoap). You must frequently rinse the cloth to rid it of tiny pebbles; otherwise your efforts will be fruitless.
I've had success in the past with this method, especially because I used tar remover (Stoner's Tarminator) to dissolve the stubborn grit. Remember, most tar removers dissolve wax, so wax after the job.
This is not to say you should rule out the touchless wash. If you're willing to risk it, it will save you time. Just have some polish ready.
