Hey guys,
I parked near a park recently and some eucalyptus trees left a lot of tree sap on my hood. Im having a really tough time removing it, i've washed it w/ AIO, and then used the sonus clay bar, Still cant get it off..you think i should use bug spray removers? Anyone know for sure how safe they are for our clearcoats, etc?

-Spray a little WD-40 on, wait 60 seconds, and wipe away.
-If this fails, move up to kerosene or paint thinner.
-If this fails, it will need to be wetsanded off. Some sap turns into a rock, it sucks.

 

Isopropyl alcohol. works like a charm. removed 7 year old sap from my mother's Accord.

 

will the isopropyl alcohol work on stained bird ****? the paint and suraface has not been eaten in, and the texture is still smooth, but it has yellow stains on my white car.

 

Another good product to use is Goof Off. Put some on a rag and hold it on the sap for a minute or so. Usually comes off without an issue.

If not sometimes claying will remove the sap. -edit- didn't realize at first you tried this. May give it a shot after the alcohol or goof off if they don't remove it completely.
