Default Got tree sap all over my new car, damnit!

City of Pasadena tree trimmers showed up at Gold's Gym unannounced this morning with a huge crane. I'm parked at the front door. I was in the shower. There must have been 100 spots of tree sap on my car, including the top. Fortunately, I got rubbing alcohol and got it all off. Now I have to go to the carwash.

Xenit orange cleaner would have been a bit gentler on your nice paint!

I just got back from the carwash and it's good as new. (Good thing, since it is.)

Glad you got it out ok.
I ended up with just a bit of sap on my car this summer. I forget what I used to take it off. I was peeved and it was only one spot and the car's like 5 years old. I can only imagine how you felt!
