    Removing Tree Sap?!

    Any tips on removing tree sap off paint and glass?

    Got some on the hood and passenger side window. Just washed my car and used simple green, but only the hood is better but theres a faint spot there. The sap on the window, however, is not really coming off.

    Goo Gone is what I use, but someone told me that brake cleaner works too.

    Use a razor blade on glass, and use this on paint.

    You can also try a clay bar on the paint. Not sure I'd use it on the glass.

    WD40, then car wash soap and rinse.

    WD40, then car wash soap and rinse. Also, I believe coconut oil would work to soften tree sap.

    I vote for Goo Gone and WD-40, in that order.
