Living at this house, I'm forced to park under this tree. It has left this residue on the car and windows.. Is there a good route I can take in order to get this off? Tons of little tiny specs that are tough to get off. I think I take a razor blade to the windows (I have no tint), but what about the paint? I want my car to look nice, not like a piece of ****. Any imput will help. Thanks!

 

i have the same problem!!! for the windows i use a razor blade (window tint is on the inside so it wont hurt it even if the windows are tinted) and for the paint i use goof off or goo be gone or something like that....it is petroleum based so after you use it make sure you wash the spots off very well...

 

I use a Tar & Bug remover, it comes in a black and white bottle but i unfortunately dont know the brand but it works great on tree sap.

alright thanks a lot for the imput. I will deff be giving this a try. Just hate to se my baby looking so terriable.

 

turtle wax and meguiars make a bug & tar remover ... invest in a car cover or if you dont want to hassle taking it on and off get a canopy/small tent ... its worth it

 

Got to cvs and get isopropyl alchohol, Nothing will work nearly as good on tree sap. Little bit on a rag, rub lightly, wax.

I have use this stuff before, works great on anything that was stuck to the paint or windows. Sticker residue, tree sap. And doesn't ruin the paint. Follow the instructions

I would try to stay away from the razor blade method. You might end up scratching your windows. Claybar for other crap, and your car will be good as new.

 

Bug & Tar remover, definately.

But after you have it all off, you have to put on a good coat of wax and be sure to wax it at least three times a year. Personally I use Turtle Wax with carnuba wax but Macguires is also good of course. Just don't try to use one of the spray on waxes or the wax job at the local gas station carwash, you have to physically put the wax on and wipe off the excess.

 

Go to Napa/Carquest and get the "Stoners Tarminator."

Or

Go to Pep Boys, and get the "Blue Magic Clay Bar Package."
