What's the best way to get tree sap off the paint?

I used this stuff I got from Walmart, but all it did was smear it a little.

Looks like a tree sneezed on the passanger side of my car!

 

Diluted vinegar water, or Salted water sure there is a home remedy for that. I just googled it real fast and there is a lot of responses.

 

You can always hand wash that area really good, dry it. Then take a clay to the area. Make sure the area is completly dry before begining the clay bar process. The clay bar just took tar off my car this past weekend with no problem. You can get a clay bar kit at pep boys for under 20 dollars

 

for paint, just scrub with car wash and a soft cloth until it comes off, then remove the residue with either scratch-x or rubbing compound and polishing compound. For the windows and windshield a razor blade will do the trick.

 

iheartmyredcar took my reply, the clay bar and good wash and wax should do u good!
If you have Oriellys they have a clay bar kit that comes with wax and stuff!

 

clay bar is meant to remove small particles, like spots of road grime or stuck on dirt/dust embedded in the paint, not large glops of tree sap. If it's smearing around, the clay bar isn't going to be very effective. Clay bar will smooth out a surface.

 

do what dtn said but also if you have a heat gun heat it up some

its how i got the sap off the bronco but you DONT wanna over heat it and boil the paint just enough to make the sap pliable

 

I'm gonna give the vinegar a try, I used soap, water, a cloth, and a high pressure hose. Clay bar would be a last resort. I used lighter fluid on the windshield (I'm afraid it'll hurt the paint), while it didn't get rid of it, it smeared it to the point where it just made the windshield a little foggy, after that it went away after about the third time it rained.

 

GooGone.

or a good cleaner wax, like meguiar's scratch remover 2.0
