How to clean Pine tree sap on my truck.

I didn't piss on mine or use gas, but I did use some turtle wax ice car wash. Had to use some forceful scrubbing, and two hours later all the sap was gone. I'm never parking my truck under trees again.

 

clay bar or a mild adhesive remover. Just re-wax that spot afterwards. As others have said the cleaners and solvents will removed the wax as well.

 

LOL. My truck lives under a pine tree. There's no saving it now.

 

rubbing alcohol works quite well and is cheap.

 

baby oil. .. it works.

 

Hard to find but works very well.

 

WD-40 or brake parts cleaner followed by a good wax job.

 

Use a torch! It will soften the sap so you can wipe it away!

 

Wash your truck. Macguires quick detailer and clay bar( I think macguires actually sells a kit). Use detailer liberally to keep the trucks surface moist while you clay bar the truck. Don't rub the clay on a dry surface and be sure to flip the clay so the "stuff" it picks up doesn't scratch your pAint. Worked for me.

Just wash it with soap and water right after. I also tried the rain-x stuff, it seams like it's just really weak rubbing alcohol though.

 

x2 I used to park my old truck under a pine tree at my house and used rubbing alcohol every weekend or so to get off the sap. Works great i liked to put wax on it after though.

 

Bug and tar

... Dawn dishwashing detergent in warm water has done it for me in the past ...

OFF bug spray. Works awesome

 

take a dryer sheet, soak it in warm water and scrub. If its fresh it'll be gone in a hurry. Like others have said you'll wanna wax it after no mater what you do but the dryer sheet works very well.

 

Turtle wax has a bug and sap remover that works great. and as far as I can tell it never took off any wax. If that doesnt work I recommend a cut off wheel and a steady hand.
