How can I safely remove tree sap from my cars paint work?
Answers:
Rubbing Alchohol, will probably work best, or you could try WD40, that works too
Their is a great product on the market it is called bug, and tar remover.
I wonder if a carwash that guarantees that your car will be clean would be able to remove that. so for about fifteen bucks you can get ca clean car and remove the sticky! call them for details.
This is a phenomenon detailers like to call "environmental fallout." Try a professional detailers clay. You can find detailers clay from a company like Macquires, wet the surface of the vehicles and viola! Good bye tree sap. Or just look for products that say they remove "bonded contaminants." Works like a charm on my 2006 Mustang. Enjoy!
liberally pour lighter fluid all over the hood/bonnet, ensuring you cover areas out side on the stain zone. Have a close friend or relative standing by with a fire extinguisher and a video recording device. Light the upper most portion on the wet fluid with an approved lighting mechanism, quickly strike the troubled spot with a 14 oz ball-peen hammer while the small flame is breaking down the adhesive properties of the tree sap. Now, when the offending stain has been removed, spray the fire extinguisher over the hood/bonnet in a sweeping side to side motion.
Try the Ardex bug and tar remover. I tried a bunch of the stuff that you can buy from the auto-parts store to no avail. When I had a touch-up done on one of my bumpers, I brought it up to the paint guys and they brought out this bottle. It worked better than anything by a million times. It smelled very rubbing-alcohol-ish but I wouldn't want to be the first to try that on my hood.
It was baked on Pine tar and some bugs, and this stuff wiped them away like it wasn't even stuck on.
