Why is tree sap difficult to remove after being on the car for too long?
1 Answers
Tree sap on the car body becomes difficult to remove mainly because its viscosity increases over time, forming granular deposits. Tree sap usually cannot be cleaned with water alone, and using brute force to remove it is not recommended. Tree sap contains chemicals that can erode the paint surface, and prolonged adhesion will inevitably reduce the smoothness of the paint or cause discoloration. Methods for cleaning tree sap from the car body: Soak a towel in hot water and place it over the tree sap on the car. After waiting for a while, the sap will soften, and then you can use a cleaning solution to soak the towel and wipe it off. Purchase a tree sap cleaner, spray it on the sap, and gently wipe it away with a towel. Use a clay bar, which not only has strong cleaning power but also provides some polishing effect. Use alcohol to clean, as alcohol can effectively dissolve tree sap. Dip a towel in alcohol and wipe the sap for easy removal. Post-cleaning precautions: After the cleaning process, it is necessary to wax and polish the paint surface to better protect it. Especially after using a clay bar or cleaning agents, these residues can cause slight damage to the paint surface. Over time, the paint may become dull and lose its shine if not properly treated.
