Is your typical two bucket wash going to remove fresh (less than two-day old) tree sap? I noticed my car had a rough feeling to the paint yesterday, probably from having to park under a tree at work after lunch. I really don't want to have to clay the car again (just did it last month). Will a good wash using two buckets and a foam gun be enough to remove it? I also have some Bug Squash on hand, I may mix some of that up in the foam gun and use it as a presoak. What do you guys think?
Maybe but I doubt it, most sap can be hard to remove. I had a b!tch of a time with some on the roof of my suv about 2 days after I parked under some tree. Bug Squash should really help though.
It's not like you would have to reclay the whole car. Just the effected area then maybe follow up with a hand application of some polish for shine. Then apply some wax.
Bug Squash is great for tar, bugs, and even sap. I hate to admit that surfer offered some really sound advice.
ouch, Mr. Hairy Chest and Gold Chain. All bow at the almighty Surfers advice
Yeh, the sap on the roof of my suv was a major beotch. Especially with the grooves and roof rack, god that sucked. Next tree that leaves sap on my truck will have a jihad declared on it
well, I did the BS pre-soak and then washed with NXT. No more sap!! Not sure if it was the BS or the actual wash that took it off (my moneys on the BS though), but it's definately not there anymore.
Also, I know I wouldn't have to clay the whole car, but it was all over the horizontals, and the glass was the worst. I could barely see through it . Thanks for your suggestions guys,
