    Baked on tree sap

    Tips for removal? Handed down a black highlander that's been neglected, paint its pretty dry and moderately oxidized on the hood and roof. I pressure washed it which took majority of sap off. I tried some sap/tar remover let it sit for a few and it didn't seem to phase it. Any tips or advice would be great

    I had good luck on a black Tacoma with some ONR in QD dilution in the sun. Let the sun heat up the sap for a few minutes, soak some ONR on the drop of sap then wipe off.

    Rubbing alcohol has taken off any tree sap I have encountered.

    If it's baked on, try turpentine.

    Rinse well and rewax afterwards.

    Re: Baked on tree sap

    A method I found to work quite well. Use a Nanoskin DA attachment to knock the main lumps of sap of easily. Then TarX on the residue/stain that's left underneath. Let it dwell for a little bit and agitate with your finger. Note that you'll likely have to polish after using the Nanoskin DA attachment. It takes contaminants off real fast but leaves some marks behind ... but sounds like you have some polishing ahead of you anyway. lol
