  • tree sap...

    and lots of it...all over the car. Well, living in Georgia...you have lots of pine, and boy do they like to make sap. Spent the night over my girlfriends house only to see tree sap all over the car the next morning. I should have known better...but didn't take any precautions. I got 4 coats of Zaino on, I hope that'll aid in the cleaning process...do I need to use clay? I picked at a few and they aren't cured (hard) it still just rubs off but then smears...oh well, looks like I got my weekend planned out.

    Zaino's clay bar should take it right out, especially if its fresh....no problemo.

      Most tree sap comes right off just by washing the car. Have you tried that?

          If all else fails,
          Turtle wax Bug and Tar ( and Tree Sap) remover. Stuff does wonders.

              I used Turtle Wax bug and tar remover....it worked great. Just take it easy and don't try to take the sap off in one application.
