[QUOTE="MustangChris, post: 967329, member: 10830"] there are a number of products out there targeted to helping with tree sap. Turtle wax is the one I use... I, at one point, had a glob of tree sap so hard and large that I had to use gasoline to remove it. Gasoline is hard on the clear coat and I do not suggest it for anything accept small inconspicuous areas with no other options. (mine was right in front of the drivers side spoiler support and roughly the size of a dime) Use a soft rag if you have to use gasoline, as you want to simply remove the sap, not the clear coat. The spot i did with gasoline did indeed damage the clear coat, but a polish and sealant has covered it fine. for your problem, i suggest testing out a few tree-sap prodcuts off-the-shelf. Starting with the turtlewax spray. If this does not fix the problem, clay barring was mentioned. I have a feeling it will take longer, but will be fully successful. [/QUOTE]
