YACT: Removing pine sap from my Tiburon

[Tu13erhead]

Is there an easy way to remove pine sap from a car? I tried using Goo Gone and that helped somewhat, but didn't completely remove it. Is there anything else I could do that might help?

Thanks!

WD-40 will remove it and shouldn't hurt your paint. or you can get tar and sap remover.

kerosene, dawn, both should remove it, but byebye wax.

Yep, it needs a new coat anyways. Just wanted to get what I could off before that.

Any other suggestions?

WD40 should work.

i suggest using kerosene. i've had lots of luck with that.

wash and wax your car a lot.
polish and elbow grease should do the trick.

get a better parking spot.

Clay bar takes off sap, and isn't crazy and harsh like WD40 or kerosene.

Yep and tar and sap remover smells like kerosene. I wonder why?

I've used lighter fluid before. Works well. Or Kerosene. Or bug and tar remover. They're probably all pretty close to the same thing.

Use clay and lubricate with soapy water or that spray-on wax stuff.

Congratulations on such a relevant post! Troll....

After you remove the actual substance itself, if you have an remaining etching or staining Zymol polish seems to work really well on pulling stuff such as that out.
