well I parked under a tree last night,I get up and low and behold tree sap on my windows,top,and on hood,fender and door. Its real small specks of sap,hopefuly if will just wash off but I dont know.any help dealing with this

 

I used to use automotive glass cleaner to remove it, just make sure you throw on a fresh coat of wax afterwards.

 

will that work on getting it off the top?

 

Possibly, you may have to get a semi stiff brush to help on the top.

 

lotsa choices with sap, cause none work on every type of sap...

gotta be very careful on the top, since vinyl is not a lot different from sap in chemical make up-

it also depends on how long the sap has been on the car- if you can get it early, its a lot easier to remove than it is after it hardens.

good tips and choices here:

I got it all off,simple wash,I guess I got it early enough. everything looks good...hopefully it stays looking that way

 

the brush is what got the top clean

 

cool- be sure to put a vinyl protectant on the top now...
vinylex, 303 or raggtopp for vinyl are some good choices-

and if you can cover the car, you can avoid this in the future... of course you have to deal with washing the cover!!
