I found a decent sap remover

Napa Blue Max Bug and Tar Remover - Part Number 2510 - link

It only costs $3.29 or so retail. It also says you can use it to remove sap aswell and it will not damage the clear coat

Basically a few months ago I parked under a tree at a friends house and got a ton of tictac to jelly bean sized tree sap drops on my hood. I thought it would have been easier to let them dry/harden instead of touching really sticky sap.... BAD IDEA! Some of the drops hardened like epoxy. Almost like superglue but with some hope lol.

I found it works best if you go through and try to remove as much of the sap as possible, the thinner it is the easier it cleans. Then you just spray the Blue Max on, let it sit for a few minutes then wipe up. I had to put some elbow grease into it but overall it works great. If it's fresh sap it will clean up easier.


Do any of you guys have other products/methods that work well? Oh and learn from me, if you get sap on your car, clean it ASAP!
