How to remove tree sap?

[DOHCTR]

Well, I parked my brand new (new to me) 05 M3 under some trees on campus last night because the parking garage was full. This morning as I was walking over to my car, not only was a nice big fat parking ticket sitting on the windshield for not having a parking sticker, but the thing is COVERED in tree sap :mad:

Is there a product you could recommend to get this shit off? Soap and water is failing miserably.

Clay bar, and lots of elbow grease

At least it wasn't a Teal 93 Cobra...

Clearly this is the campuses fault for explaining and posting a sign warning of tree sap. Maybe you should cry and complain and see if they'll fix the problem for you.

Try to claim the police splattered sap all over your car.

im not worried about the ticket, its only $20

But I have a test today, tommarow, and wednesday so im looking for somthing of a quick fix

Start a thread threatening to kick a board member's ass. I hear that makes it go away magically.

lol, thanks asshole :p

And I have always spelled it "tommarow", no idea why. Apparently thats such a fucked up way to spell it, that the spell check on my browser recognizes it as "roommate".

Claybar takes too long........


Use simple rubbing alcohol...
Ive had sap on my truck quite a few times and I brought it down to the Simoniz Car Wash and a good friend of mine is the manager. He said that's all they use to get tree sap off, and it doesnt affect the paint/clear coat. I thought it would, but it didnt.

Just take a towel and cover the opening of the alcohol bottle and turn it up side down and use what came out on the towell and rub it on the spot. You may have to do it a few times, but it'll come off.

Sell the car, join a rival message board (i.e. Ford product on a GM message board), and taunt others ... works everytime



And LMAO at some of you commodians...
