i was wondering, i have like some tree sap or something on my hood.. would goo gone be safe to try and get it off?

 

hmmmmmm i would try something very light first i know goo gone is kind of harsh... try 409 or windex first.

 

I think that is going to be a little harsh. Try simple green or you could buff it off.

 

waht u mean buff it off?

im not sanding or nothing, iunno what it is.. i just cant seem to get it off its pissing me off

 

u know the machine with the terry cloth pad u put wax on push the button and it spins? thats buffing. or you could just flex at it.

 

oh gotcha i could try that, that means id have to buy a buffer now lol..

whats flexin

 

haha... wow... ya know flex ur muscles at it (being buff). lol. i was messing with you. u can hand buff if u rub fast in small circles.

 

Tree sap reacts to human urine, it liquefies. I tried it on my windshield, works great.

 

wtf? you serious? why would u ever try to **** on your windshield anyway...

lol

X2

 

If you don't want to directly aim at the hood while pissing, **** in a bottle and apply it with cloth. Then proceed to wipe.

 

Yeah, the acid in your urine can corrode the finish of the carbon fiber, be careful with it

 

just use goo gone, its not that harsh...

if your hood has a clear coat then your fine...

 

The hood will either have a clearcoat or a gel coat (the same thing boats have).

Test the Goo Gone in an inconspicuous location.

Btw, Simple Green can take paint off IF there is not a clearcoat. I'd think Simple Green and Goo Gone are just about as bad, only Simple Green is just a degreaser. Do you think a degreaser would take up sticky tree sap?

 

Anything acidic will work, its just a matter of strength. I certainly wouldnt put **** on my car, just because its acidic...orange cleaners (goo gone) and simple green are similar and are a bit easier to use. Yes, pee is free...but urea smells. Hell you can use vinegar

I would first try a clay bar, and if that didnt work, Id step up to goo gone on a cotton ball.
Last thing Id try would be to dilute some nail polish remover (acetone) in a 1:3 ratio w/ water.

LMAO

 

well i looked at it again, its raelly nothing you can feel , you can feel it but its not that feelable. its moer of something you can see, ill try some the clay bar, then good gone, thanks guys.

 

Use a mr cleans magic eraser.

 

can i get this from autozone?

 

Take a pic.

If you can't feel it but you can see it, you might want to try to polish it out instead. not sure how bad it is though.

 

when u say polish you say like use polish then a terry cloth or towel and " flex " it out lol

 

polishing compound...its kinda like toothpaste, as its abbrasive

just go try goo gone...you probably have it in your house

 

I would definitely try Goo Gone first.

It that doesn't work, work up to something abrasive. I usually try polish first before I try a compound, just in case the more gentle polish works I'm less likely to do damage.
