    Hey guys and gals,

    I have a little problem. I cannot get two spots of tree sap i got on my legacy two weeks ago up north fishing. I have tried coke classic, which my mechanic told me to use, and it did not work. I know of two other "things" to use but they may hurt the paint. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you all and have a great day.

    Get a bounce sheet and get it wet.... not too wet. That might work.

    let some glass cleaner soak on it. thats what ive always used as a detailer. it may take a few tries, but its the safest

    3m all purpose adhesive remover. Safe on paint. Check your local Napa.

    two weeks, that has already done the damage on the paint, but SeaFoam Bug remover should still be able to get it off, that or 3m adhesive remover like Josh said works too

    Seriously, denatured alcohol..... sap comes off like a prom dress when you add some denatured alcohol to the mix.

    This black guy sold me some good cleaning stuff. It's called GREEN APPLE ADVANTAGE and it cleans rims SO MUCH BETTER THEN Brake Dust Cleaner! Comes off the second you use it and I'm pretty sure Tree Sap aint a problem. It's water base and won't hurt your paint. No smears either.

    What difference does it make if it came from a black guy or white guy? You trying to say that white guys don't know how to clean?
