cleaning help - Tree Sap!!!!

Post Sat May 28, 2005 6:13 am

Cheap 325i I bought has been parked under a tree for 6 months and is covered in tree sap, car is black so not really noticable unless close up, but if you run your hands over the body work you can feel it!!

Any advise on getting this off without literally picking it of???

T cut doesn;t really work!

Thanks
Marc

You can get stuff from Meguirs call Quik Clay which is meant to take it off. You spray the stuff on and then you rub the block of special clay over the paint. I tried it and didnt really like it but ive heard some people rave about it. Maybe i didnt use it properly?
