How to Remove Tree Sap Yellow Spots on a White Car?
2 Answers
Tree sap on the car looks unsightly and has a certain corrosive effect, which can damage the car's paint. Here are several methods to remove tree sap: 1. Wash the car with warm water at a car wash: After rinsing the car body with a water gun, apply foam. Wait for about three minutes before rinsing it off. As long as the sap is not stubborn, it will usually be removed cleanly. 2. Use a tree sap remover: Spray it evenly on the areas with sap, wait a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a clean cloth to remove the sap. 3. Car wash clay: If there is a large area of tree sap on the car body, you can try using car wash clay to clean the car. This method ensures a thorough and clean removal.
Those yellow tree sap spots on white cars are such a headache! From my own experience, soak a towel in warm water and place it on the yellow spots to soften them for five minutes. Then spray a dedicated tree sap cleaner, wait one minute, and gently wipe in circles with a soft cloth. If you don't have a cleaner, you can use medical alcohol on a cotton swab to dab and wipe slowly, rinsing immediately afterward. Never scrape with your fingernails, as this can leave scratches on the paint. Try to avoid parking under trees, and waxing after washing can help prevent sap from sticking. For stubborn yellow spots, treating them multiple times is safer. After treatment, rinse with clean water and apply wax to protect the paint—this keeps your car clean and well-maintained.
