Can I use this to remove tree sap from my car?

Hi,It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.

It should be ok to use on automotive paint the description says "Solvent-based formula will not harm most cured automotive paints and it also is suitable for vinyl glass surfaces. It also says it removes sap.

this may work to remove the log nuts only ! I suggest you get the right socket for your car ..

i am not sure, we have only used it to remove gump, and i don't believe the smell is all that horrible, just a little strong to begin with.

I recommend to not use gun for applying soap to car, place soap dab on sponge and conserve that soap. Use gun to pre rinse and final deionized water.

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

I dont know if there is a reason or not, i use this product on all my cars, i have used it on a blue, red, green, black and white cars in the past, but you with the silver would be the only person to know that, this is a great product to take off resins like as water spots or paint that i have always used it for.

I don't see why not, I use it to polish my cars and does an awesome job!! It's very easy to handle and so comes with a long cord and two pads :) for the price I'm very happy with it

Three or four years ago the maple tree in our front yard looked as if it was crying: long streaks of sap were running down the trunk all over the place. I asked a tree expert about it and was told that it was nothing to worry about. It was spring, the sap was just beginning to travel up the trunk, and anywhere there happened to be an opening in the bark the sap was oozing out. I have no idea if that is what's going on with your oak tree. But before you go spraying it with anything, I would definitely find someone to ask about it. Go to your local agricultural extension agent and see if they can help you. (Our tree is in perfect shape today, by the way. No harm done.)

For car body, yes. It can. I have used this product the whole summer without going to the car-wash. Of course obviously, it won't work for windows (glass), undercarriage, and tires, and most metal or chrome parts. You can still clean those parts but they won't be spotless (soap stains, because the microfiber towels are not meant for those surfaces).

I have never used it in this application. However, being former US Army I am familiar with what you are referring to and believe this stuff will work. It is VERY humid in Florida and I sweat "a lot" and it gets every bit of the scent out of our cars, etc. I think if it is used according to the instructions on the bottle and aired out it will perform as you desire.

I guess you could - but I never tried it. I use this product primarily for cleaning ski jackets.

Yes it should, but it won't instantly dissolve the sap. It might require several application and you will have to keep it in contact with the sap while its doing its dissolution.

I agree with Brian W. answer that you do not want to use it on a very dirty car. Having said that, I only use it clean the black rims on my car after having washed them. This way after I dry off the car, I go back and detail the black rims using this product. I also use this product to clean the door jambs after car is washed. It's not concentrated and I do not dilute it with water.

If any product can remove tree sap and dried bird dropping, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound can. Of course, there is no guarantee. That is what I would use.

I have never used this to remove, but just for cat and or dog odors in the house and car, it does great...you might try cat litter or at a store they have oil pick up sand the absorbs it

This is industrial strength remover. I believe it will do that job for you. Try it on a small area though. I used it to take off some adhesive off a windshield that was used to hold a fast pass transponder. It took it off in a minute or so. Goo gone never even softened the stuff.
