make sure your car has been washed before this 2 simple steps. 1)alcohol (the one you use on wounds) with a Q Tip. will take the sap off. 2) you then use your favorite spray wax with a micro fiber and gently wipe. :sources 2016 honda civic had a bunch of tree sap brought it to my nearest car wash. they then were gonna charge me 300 for a full detail. I then talked to the manager stated I just wanted the sap off. he told me his little tricks

I have trees over my parking area and my truck looks like this often. I find the best approach is to wait for a day of rain that softens up the crud, then go to self carwash or pressure wash

Vinegar, dish soap and water combined in a ratio 1 vinegar, 1 dish soap, to 10 parts water. Works great with no effort just rinse off.

Using the wrong type of sponge, mitt, or microfiber towel the wrong way also causes scratches. Never use a regular house towel. They scratch cars paint. Always dry your car in straight lines not circles. Always pull the tags off towels - they scratch paint Never put your microfiber towels/cloths, in the dryer in heat only air spin or air dry and don’t use fabric softeners. They break down the fibers. Then you can scratch the paint Remove bird droppings immediately as they eat the clear coat. If you wait too long - you guessed it. You can scratch paint. Non acid wheel n tire cleaner works wonders all over the car. spray on, let sit then hose off. If you use an alcohol spray or dawn dish detergent alway wax after. These are things I’ve learned from various detailers.

Scrubbing that kind of stuff off you're going to scratch it regardless. Just go ham on it. You're gonna have to polish it after anyway.

The thicker stuff(from oak sweat) comes off(hood and roof) with soap, water and sponge. The tough little specks that stay behind come off with citrus cleaner normally used for adhesives. I love in Texas so the summer sun really cooks that stuff on.

For the sap on the car my uncle has taught me to use a 1/2 cup of gasoline ⛽ mixed with Dawn detergent. It removes the grit effortlessly w/o damage to the car

A slightly strong solution of Dawn and warm water, let it soak for 5-10 minutes, reapplying several times. Will really dissolve a lot of grim and oil-based compounds. Just make sure to wax or put a good protectant on it afterwards as it really strips down to the clear coat. Sap/Tar are extra difficult no matter what, and the accept that it will take a little more time than regular dirt, and don't rush it and ruin your paint.

A spray bottle with a 15% mixture of rubbing alcohol in water works pretty good, but it can remove your wax if you get too enthusiastic with it.

Pressure washer on older cars will likely fleck the paint off, elbow grease is the best bet. Just did this with a 1999 Silverado. With those really dirty cars, wash/rinse between dirt layers so you're not rubbing the dirt into the paint more then necessary, claybar really gets the sap off after the wash.

Depends on what type of sap. Example: Sweet gum tree sap. What this guy has is more dirt than sap. Hand gel works for itty bitty sap spots. Nothing works better than 70% alcohol not even steam!! Use spray bottle from dollar store, wait a few seconds and wipe. Keep repeating will not damage paint. When done put wax on but do not wipe off in winter until ready. In summer wax will bake on so do it in the shade and wipe when dry.

You could've use a snow form and a form cannon. You leave snow form for a few minutes then rinse it off. It would've been worth a try. Just suggesting.

I watched your video start to finish and honestly not impressed with your results! My black Malibu was coated with mold, pollen & tree sap! I instead wet it first, brushed on dollar store bleach, rinsed, washed, then used paste compound, washed again then applied Turtle Wax & Dry, (smells like coconut) and for the time being it shines like new!
