Sap removal

[sesolcSTI]

My girlfriend has an 05 Sentra SE-R. It has had sap on it for a while now, and i have been to busy to get it off. The sap is hard now. Im sure it will come off without any damage to the paint, but the question is......what do i use to get it off? I know somebody here has gotten sap off their car before, i need some tips. Thanks. :)

I've used a hairdryer to soften sap enough to pull it off.

You can do what Muddy said then use some bug and tar remover or that orange stuff that you have.

[MuddyREX]

Oh yeah, after you pull it off there will still be some sticky goo left over. Bug and tar remover works well, as does goof-off. Just make sure to wax the area afterward because most of that stuff will strip the area clean of any wax that was there.

goo-gone works well too, though i think it's a similar product to those previously mentioned...

[sesolcSTI]

Yeah, i figure that goo gone would do that trick. I have plenty of that at home, so ill give it a whirl. Take the wax off, whats that???????? I dont even think the car has been washed yet, haha. Next on my list, im gonna wash it up and wax it good before winter, cause i know she wont do it/get it done, haha. :wiggle:

Denatured Alcohol works well, but it also takes off wax.

I'd say take it to a detailer, cuz i wouldnt want to mess up brand new paint on the car, just be carefull.

Don't worry now, the road salt will strip that stuff right off....
