Solutions for tree sap drips on your car: 1. Take your car to a car wash and use warm water to rinse the vehicle. After spraying the car body with water, apply foam, wait for about three minutes, and then rinse it off. As long as the tree sap is not stubborn, it will be completely removed; 2. Use a tree sap remover to evenly spray the areas with tree sap on the car body. Wait a few minutes and then wipe it clean with a clean cloth to remove the tree sap; 3. If there is tree sap over a large area of the car body, you can try using a clay bar to clean the car body, which will ensure a thorough and clean removal. Tree sap refers to a hardened resin or exudate from various trees and shrubs. Some tree saps dissolve in water, while others absorb water and expand significantly when soaked in water.
My car often gets tree sap too, especially when parked under trees in the residential area. Those sticky substances can corrode the paint if not removed promptly, so I use soapy water and a soft cloth to gently wipe them off. For stubborn spots, I add a bit of alcohol or a specialized sap remover. Avoid using hard objects to scrape, as it may scratch the paint. After cleaning, it's best to apply wax to protect the paint. I wash my car once a week to prevent sap buildup. When choosing a parking spot, try to avoid parking under big trees to save the hassle. Regular paint maintenance is crucial, and it's simple enough to do it yourself—cost-effective and efficient.
