How to Remove Stains from Car Paint?

Distributed near the four wheels of the car body, spray tar remover around the tar spots, let the cleaner soak for about a minute, and then wipe off the tar with a towel. For tree sap, adhesive, or sticker residue, use adhesive remover while spraying and wiping. Pour water or car wash liquid on the car's surface paint, and repeatedly scrub with car detailing clay. You will notice that the scrubbed area becomes smooth. Damaged and eroded by various harmful gases in the atmosphere, a hard and rough oxide film forms on the paint surface, causing the paint to gradually fade, harden, and lose its gloss.
I've been driving for over a decade and encountered many paint stains, like common tree sap and bird droppings. Rinse with water immediately and avoid hard scraping. For stubborn tree sap, use dedicated car cleaner—spray and wait a few minutes, then wipe gently with a soft cloth. For water spots or rain stains, apply diluted white vinegar solution with a sponge, then rinse clean. For tough grease, use polishing compound—apply in circular motions, buff, then rinse with water. Regardless of method, avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratches. After treatment, apply wax or sealant to protect the paint, maintain shine, and reduce future staining. Park away from trees when possible; use a car cover outdoors to prevent dirt buildup.
