Tree Sap

[FuzzyDiceRule]

hey guys, somehow my dads Mach 1 got tree sap on the drivers side door, and i have no clue how to get it off, clay bar didnt do squat, nor did a little bit of rubbing compound, or some laquer thinner (dont worry, im not stupid, i tried that as a last ditch effort in an attempt to get it off, car needs a repaint anyways) Does anybody know any good ways to get tree sap off of a car?

If it hasnt sat for a long time, you could get lucky and get it all out.

What I always did was dull a razor blade by rubbing it up and down on window glass for a while, then very carefully peel away the chucks of sap. Then use a weak solvent to wipe away whats left. Finally buff it. If you attack it soon enough it should be all gone, if not youll just have a small discoloration.

Give WD40 a try. It worked on my gf's car.

3m adhesive remover spray. Only thing I could find to get it off. I tried EVERYTHING else.

+1 for WD-40 or any petroleum product.

Turpentine.

Shouldn't hurt the paint and it's made out of tree sap.

nail polish remover has always worked for me

Non acetone nail polish remover. Do not use regular nail polish remover. Non acetone nail polish remover dissolves tree sap instantaneously. IT IS ALSO SAFE.

+1 on 3m adhesive remover, I GUARANTEE it will work. Go to lowes and pick up a spray can of it for a few bucks.
