Removing Tree Sap

JPC:
I might have explained before that the make up of the bonds between the tar particles are pretty similar to those of a sealant or wax. The hydrocarbons in each will be broken down in the wax and in the tar, if you use something like tardis.



If you can flick them off gently, or try using a quick detailer and a clean microfibre very gently to remove it. If you use a dedicated tar remover it will remove the wax in the surrounding area, so there best left alone.

Frenzy:
Cheers JPC.

I think i'll just wash the car with hot shampoo water and try the speed detailer. If i was to flick them off it would take about a week as the whole car is covered in fine (invisible to the naked eye) sap spots :grin:. The only reason i knew was i could see it on the windscreen and when you feel the paint it feels like a rough pad rather than a smooth finish
