How to Deal with Numerous Tree Sap Dots on the Car?
2 Answers
Here are methods to clean tree sap from the car: 1. Soak a towel in hot water, place it on the tree sap spots on the car, wait for a while until the sap softens, then use cleaning solution to soak the towel and wipe, making the cleaning process easier. Purchase and use tree sap cleaner, spray it on the sap, then slowly wipe it off with a towel; 2. Use car cleaning clay, which not only has strong cleaning power but also a certain polishing effect. However, this method is generally suitable for small areas, as cleaning large areas can be more labor-intensive; 3. Use alcohol for cleaning. Alcohol can effectively dissolve tree sap. Dipping a towel in alcohol and wiping the sap can easily remove it. If tree sap drips onto the car, the above methods can effectively clean it off. However, after removal, it's best to wax and polish the paint surface to better protect it. Especially when using car cleaning clay or cleaning agents, these methods may slightly damage the paint surface. Otherwise, over time, the paint surface may become dull and lose its luster.
I have my own simple method for dealing with tree sap spots on the car. Just use common household items, like soaking a soft cloth in warm water and placing it over the sap spot to soften it for a few minutes. Then gently wipe it off, trying white liquor or vinegar to dissolve the stickiness. Avoid scrubbing hard to prevent scratching the car paint. After treatment, rinse it clean and apply a layer of wax to protect the paint. Tree sap is acidic, and if not removed promptly, it can corrode the car body and cause rust. When parking, try to avoid shady areas under trees, especially in spring when trees secrete more sap. Regular car washing can also prevent buildup, saving money and hassle. The car is your treasure, and careful maintenance is worth it.
