Default Sh*t.

Okay, here's my dilemma. Two days ago I was forced to park outside (underneath a tree) overnight because the garage was filled with boxes and bathroom supplies (we're slightly renovating, so we can sell). Well, of course tree sap gets on the car >:O. After giving a good hand wash today, much of the sap is still there and doesn't appear to want to come off. I didn't try waxing because I had not the time nor was I sure that it would make matters better/worse/more difficult. The sap is only noticeable when standing right next to the car, but that is too noticeable IMO. My car is brilliant black for those who can't look at my sig. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this stuff assuming that it can be eliminated? TIA

you need a tar/bug/sap remover, one grand sells one.

Default P21S Total Auto Wash. Will take it right off. You'll just have to rewax afterwards...

Here's the link to the stuff; I've used it before, and it works very very well. Spray it on straight, let it sit for 10 minutes (go inside since it's really hard to let it sit while your standing around looking at it). Then wipe off.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/p21_autowash_10407.html">P21S Total Auto Wash</a></li></ul>
