What do you guys use to get off stuborn dead bugs and tree sap without destroying our clearcoat/paint?

 

I always used Simple Green. Took them off no prob

 

Bird poop actually damaged my clear coat

 

yeah wtf is up with that? same thing happned to me and i cant wax it out

 

^ sucks cuz i have black and it shows out more

 

rubbing compound then polishing compound then nice mothers wax. also i use the clay bar one every six months that gets a lot of dirt and contaminants out

 

I think i have a special cleaner for it that is clear coat safe, i think it is made by turtle wax.

 

clay bar usually does the job for me.

 

Try Goo Gone.

 

I had a big spot of sap or something on my fender last week and it did not come off with regular washing. I then used a bug, tar, and tree sap remover and it would not remove all of it. I then clay-barred it which got all but a couple little spots of it off. I then appled some Zaino Z5 on it and it disappeared. It had me worried though. I was ready to put out a distress call for our detailing Guru Picus112 up here in the GWN for help.

 

Tar remover or WD40.

 

I use a bug off product. Just spray, let set about a min then hose off safe for clear coat and no rubbing at all. Can't think of name right now but several
different brands available.

 

waxing regularly make any bird poop wash off real easy

 

Stoner's Tarminator

 

I would use a clar bar to remove it. Don't use simple green if you wax as simple green is a degreaser and will remove the wax. I've heard that the Tarminator is good stuff too.
