I parked my car at a friends house over night and his tree leaked sap on my car! I tried a few meguires and eagleone products that I have for detailing and it made it worse. It is dry from the hot sun and very sticky when you rub on it. Does anyone know what I should use that wont take off my paint or fade it :?: Keep in mind its on my vynal also!

try a clay bar

it should be fresh enough that it didn't stain the paint yet

zzzzzeke'* right... a claybar will work...

You might also wanna try Bug & Tar remover, or Goo-Gone?


Hey zzzzeke... isn't it the same 3 answers for everything? claybar, bug & tar, goo-gone? hehe

never had much luck with goo-gone.

i swear by clay bars.

bug and tar remover can work in certain applications. plus its cheaper than a clay bar.

i've used gas and thinners with better results than goo-gone (but i don't recommned it to anyone but me)......LOL

I didn't know where to post this topic! Why do you guys always move stuff? The General Chat Forum looked fine to me! I'll try some kind of gunk remover and then a clay bar if I have to. thanks guys!

Use some WD-40.
It will work like a charm and won't harm your paint or your vinyl.

Had all over front end of 94. Used mineral spirits to remove. Next time I'll try the wd40. Let me know what works for you.

I used the WD-40 and it came off with ease! While I had it out I went ahead and sprayed my doors! Thanks SilverBullet!

Your very welcome Jason.

WD-40 is mostly just kerosene based lubricant, so it disolves very well.

i have used Pinesol before, its worked great...
