Anyone know how to get tree sap off of your car? It doesn't come off when I wash my car, and I'm afraid to scrape it off 'cause I might scratch my paint. Please Help!

 

Well my gf usually has a lot of sap on it. So if I wash it, I give it a good soak and take my time with the soap and a washing brush. That usually takes care of it for me.

 

hot water i think should work

 

Autoparts stores sell a product called "Bug and Tar Remover" that works real well.

 

I had the same problem, car was in storage for two months under a tree. Sap was stuck there for a while. Took me four hours with a clay bar to take if off. It was totally worth if when I was done.

Hope that helps
Mike,

 

 

I know the Bug & Tar stuff works and its way more easier, just giving out another option.

 

Clar bars are great for this kind of stuff. And getting the paint real smooth.

Remember to wax after using any of these products.

 

MY $0.02 on this matter,... do NOT use bug and tar remover, figner nail polish, rubbing alcohol, and certainly not clay bar,.....I've been a detail for 7 years and I will give you this "trade-secret" if you use every thing I listed ( besides clay bar,.. waste of effort) sooner or later you will see paint "blemish" on your car were the sap you've taken off with the products above minus the clay bar,...all you need is to get $3.00 and go to your local "Lowes" , "Home Depot", or " Walmart" and get this product called " denaturalize alcohol" !!!!!!!!!!! no scraping, no"wait until it gets cooler", no soaking, no nothing ! just put on clean cloth and wipe off,.. even if you had the sap there for 2 years,..lol it will come off,.. its the cleanest of all products to take sap off.... BELIEVE ME !!!!!!!! If you have any other questions on detailing your car email me : cypprim@aol.com

 

P.S. yes you still need to wax your car after you taken off the sap,... lol.. lates everyone !!
