#29165, "tree sap....??"


          

How can i get this stuff off, it's all over my car because last semester my car was parked under a tree at home while i was at school... anyhow, i've tried 3 different kinds of 'removers' and haven't had any luck yet, anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, the only way to remove it is with those removers. If its on glass or ur windshield, u could use a razor to scrape it off. If its on paint, u have to be really patient with the remover. I think I used Turtle Wax brand bug/tar/sap remover. It took a lot of it and a lot of scrubbing to remove one spot.

if your get the clay bar from meguires it will come with a bottle of quik detailer(about $10). You need to use that as a lubricant. Spray it onto your car and then rub the claybar over it. If the claybar starts to stick alot, use some more quik detailer. This will take out the tree sap and other things like bugs that are on your paint and leave it with a smooth finish. You will need to re-wax the areas you used the clay bar on because it will remove the wax too.
