Hey guys, any idea how to remove that shyt? I've tried to clay bar the **** off but then it doesn't come off (I've left it there for sometime now because I've been busy).

I've read that I can use mineral spirits and wipe that crap off, but I'm rather weary of using anything that will kill my paint cuz I'm such a clutz

Is there anyway I could remove this stuff without going as far as mineral spirits or thinner of some sort?

Or should I just bring my car to a cleaning company like Posh and have them get rid of that ****?

 

goo gone should work, or simple green...

 

Both the BMW and Civic live under a Linden tree. Pollen for a month, pods for a month, sap for two months. Lovely, but completely useless tree!!!

The sap is really gooey, but comes off with regular visits to the coin-op. No special stuff needed, just a visit or four a week...

 

I've tried blasting it off with the washer at the coin-op but it's stuck damn good. I haven't tried using Simple Green though ...

 

brake fluid

 

car cover.

Get a cheap one from Wall Mart. $49.99

 

get goo gone works real good, i tried it on an uncles car that had dried on sap for years and it came off so easy with goo gone, wash car after u use it tho

 

i think he just wants to remove the sap, not the paint underneath it

 

what about using bug and sap remover?

 

Christ, that tree is one tough ****!

I thought sap would stay gooey for a long time. not crystallize.

 

agreed

 

I think I'll go and try that

and thanks to all for the "sane" answers

 

woohoo! Finally, something that got rid of that crud!

Now, does Simple Green strip my wax off too? Or is it wax safe?

 

i'd guess it'll strip the wax..it's designed to remove non-hardened substances....

so get yer *** back outside and re-wax that car mister..

 

 

wtf you smiling at??
i'm serious, get back out there and start waxing....

 

i got a FOOL PROOF PLAN for your
don't park under the tree
problem solved

 

*mental note* I'm never putting wax on with a sponge ever again, I'll just use a cloth and put the wax on, it's must easier to remove!

 

i've actually had sap dry up to the point where i just picked it all off..... heehee..... but when it's still soft, goo gone works wonders.....
