Hey everybody I found the perfect way to remove tree sap. Here we go...by the numbers:

1. Go get your chain saw:thumbsup:

2. Start it up :woohoo:

3. Cut that :rant: tree down!!!

That being said does anyone know the best way to remove tree sap from our precious paint jobs?

Depends on how big the drops of sap are. Once the cars sits in the sun for a bit, pine sap turns to dust and can be flicked off pretty easy. Otherwise, buy a clay bar kit and rub it off with the clay.
The clay bar also works very well on the front facia as it gets hit with quite a bit of small road dirt that tends to embed itself in our soft paint.

Usually if you wax your car it should come off with a hand wash. At least Oak and Maple do...

You want it off as quic as possible so it does not damage clearcoat. I hade this issue with pine tree sap on a black truck. SUCKED!
