Microfiber and bit of alcohol (IPA). Get the 51 % bottle from Walmart.

Re: sap on my fresh detail
see this is why you have to ask. I have some car pro eraser, will that work ? I'm not sure of the percentage. also what do you think about after the wipe down. maybe a detail spray & then reply a sealant ? or just IPA and then maybe some wax ?
another thing, before I use an IPA should I try and clean the hood & roof off first ? there's bound to be some dust mixed in with the sap. I don't think that IPA has any lubricants in it.
Re: sap on my fresh detail
Just spot remove sap with the ISP.
ISP will remove whatever you have on the paint. After spot cleaning---go ahead and reapply your high def sealant.

Sap, in and of itself, is pretty invasive.
Let’s say that even if it hasn’t invaded
the paint system’s top-coat, you can
bet your bottom dollar that the LSP in
the affected areas is already toast before
any sap removal chemicals have been used.
As such:
After its removal...[“alcohol swabbing” is one
way to remove sap; some will use turpentine
(ie: “like removes like”); I prefer products like
3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner]...it’s
always a “Best Practice” to re-seal all of the
affected areas.

Re: sap on my fresh detail
So it seems like i may have been wrong about the sap. At as far as IPA removing what I thought was sap. I tried claying with ultra fine clay and achieved success. Of course this means more work. But I want to do it right. I could have sworn it was sap. I only put on 100 miles after detailing and park in a garage. I didn’t need The baggie test to make it feel like sandpaper. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a74dcdd52e.jpg

IMO:
The main thing is that you’re able to
remove the contaminate(s) using one
of the least aggressive methods. :props:

Re: sap on my fresh detail
THAT was removed by clay bar after 100 miles? Did you just clay before the miles?
That's what I like to see on my clay...means it's removing it.
