I have tree sap on the hood of my car. Any suggestions to get it off?

 

A clay bar will take that right off. As well as other contaminents.

 

Yep, Clay does wonders.

 

If the tree sap is baked on, use isopropyl alcohol. It'll take it right off. I tried a claybar with no success on my 99 Accord which had nearly 4 year old saplings baked on.

 

OK. I am going to have to ask a dumb question here. Where would I go to get a clay bar and which one do you recommend.

i had tree saps on my car and it was very noticeable.. took me a couple passes with the claybar but it does the job.

 

Thanks. It looks like they have some great products on that site. Which clay bar had you purchased from there before

 

A good sap/bug solvent works great also, I prefer to save my claybars for imbedded contaminants that aren't easily remove with other methods

 

Happened to me a couple years ago (before the G) I had this stuff I bought from a car show called IBIZ. It was a liquid wax of some sort and it took the sap right out of the car. My car was covered from bumper to bumper cause I was at a friends house and the tree must have been diseased or something.
