    So that's a great way to scratch the paint finish using a popsicle stick!!! Best way go get the actual tree sap remover

    Try ice cubes straight from freezer (0 F, -18C). Move the ice cube gently with no pressure over the sap. The sap will just pop out. You can clean up an entire hood with a few ice cubes. No scratches.

      Thanks, I knowthat when sap is cool to the touch, its easy to clean it, I imagine ice has to do a better job..

    Just use the Turtle Wax Scratch and Swirl remover. Using that popsicle stick will scratch the paint. That is applicable for older cars.

      I try turtle wax and it tiok for ever to get the top layer off. But I could get the dry brown stain out. Look like it baked in the clear coat

    Hi I know this video is 3 years old. But I had some stubborn tree sap on the 2007 Yukon XL Denali I purchased 6 months ago. Nothing worked, no WD40, no tree sap remover nothing. I bought an eraser wheel and tried that. Works GREAT! Doesn’t damage the paint or anything and is super fast.

      @@cramos7287 it’s an attachment for a drill. Has rubber around it. Google it, it’ll be the first thing that comes up. It works sooooo much better than anything else. Just make sure you keep moving it back and forth (otherwise you can burn the paint) it’s very very very easy to use to remove sap and other stuff on your paint.

    Use lemon oil and a soft cotton cloth. Be gentle, takes a little time, will come out.

    This method worked fantastically. Scrape some of the sap off with a wooden splint. Use a pot scrubber( not steel wool) and hot water, add Dawn dish detergent,
    rub in a circular motion and then rinse. Tree sap comes off easily!

    High concentration of isopropyl alcohol works best by far. No popsicle stick necessary. It dissolves it very quickly and completely

    WD-40 if used on paint will eventually discolored,lift and ruin your paint job wherever you use it on tree sap then you have to repaint the same areas. Folks saying use WD-40 is great for tree sap are correct, but not when it's on your painted car.

      So then what is the alternative

    • @aguilayserpiente
      @aguilayserpiente 4 роки тому +3

      The solvent in WD-40 is naphtha, aka lighter fluid, aka charcoal lighter fluid, aka paint dissolver. Follow the suggestions by others: test lemon oil on an inconspicuous spot, ice cubes, swirl remover, polish paste remover, Krud Kutter, alcohol. Use better judgment. If in doubt research the manufacturer of the car's paint to ask what to use to remove tree sap safely.

      Searched Autogeek.net and hand sanitizer was the go to for my wife's Pathfinder hood when she parked under a pine tree. It softens the sap and after about 20 minutes wipes right off. Pro detailers use alcohol to wipe down cars before they apply finishing wax so the hand sanitizer is perfectly safe.
