Default Tree Sap and Clay Bars

After parking under a tree last week, all I can say is thank goodness for clay bars.

It was so easy to remove all that nasty rough stuff with the clay bar and it only takes a few minutes to do the whole car. It sure was worth it. The Porter Cable polisher sure makes short work of waxing and buffing the car as well.

I wouldn't recommend using clay with an orbital. If a large piece of grit got into the clay it could make some very interesting scratches before you caught it.

I used to respect Griot's Garage, but check this out:

I agree with s2kbug, just a tiny bit of grit could make a lot of interesting scratches very quickly.
