Hey ya'll,



I remember reading awhile back about products that work well for removing tree sap but can't seem to find the threads on a search. Any help out there from those of you that have any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
I use Kerosene or WD40. Bug and tar remover works too (from what i heard, bug and tar remover IS Kerosene). Just make sure to Re wax the spot after your done
 
What EMD said, but let me add...

Let it sit a little before "working" it. If it's not softened first, you'll most likley produce swirl marks in your paint.

Do this in the shade, on cool paint.

After removing the tree sap, I've found a chain saw, properly used, will aid in the prevention of this problem reappearing;) :D
