I need to know how I can remove tree sap from the hood and top of my car. I've tried a meguire's(SP?) sap/tar remover but it didnt work.
i think the same goes for googone. when none of my bug/tar removers made a dent in the sap, googone removed it like magic. but some say it may stain so i wiped it off very quickly and washed area.Lighter fluid.
WD-40 - although be careful due to some of the chemical contents that can harm your paint. Remove the sap and quickly wash/clean the WD-40 off the paint.
HTH
Get a full repaint on your car and send the bastid(sic) the bill!our neighbor, who owns the tree that drops the sap, recommended using lacquer thinner. So we both went out and put a little on a towel and started scrubbing. No Luck at all.
same procedure i use with the googoneBest product for sap removal: rubbing alcohol. I've used it numerous times and it has worked 100%! Use a soft rag and wet a small area of it (a little bigger than the end of your finger) with the alcohol and then put that area on the sap. Let it sit for 10-15 seconds and then start rubbing lightly (using light pressure w/ your finger tip). Most of the time the sap wipes right off. If there's any residue, clay bar will due the trick.
On a side note, if anyone recommends that you use dry gas...don't do it! And please don't ask how I know??
Acetone is some STRONG stuff! I'd use it as a last resort, because it can easily eat through your paint.acetone works the balls, haha, but be prepared to wash/wax on a black car
