1.Knowing what you are up against

The tree sap has different concentration and can have a slightly different reaction based on the paint job on your car. But, one thing is for sure that you shouldn’t leave it there for long as it might cause etching which would further lead to paint degradation and peeling of the car surface, leaving it exposed to corrosion. 

2.Treating with hot water

If the sap is fresh and still wet, you are lucky to have got it in time. All you need is some warm water and a soft non-abrasive sponge or a microfiber cloth to wipe it off. Start by washing the affected area with the hot water. This would cause the sap to soften and dissolve in water and then you can wipe it with the cloth. You can also add some hand car wash soap to the water for better results. 

3. Special products for the sap

There are a variety of fantastic cleaning products on the market that is formulated to get rid of the tree sap. However, one needs to be careful and read the labels to make sure that they are suitable for the car’s paint or the tint screen of your window. Spray the solvent over the area or on to the microfiber cloth and place it over the sap for the solvent to act on it. In some time, you can wipe the surface and wash off the sap marks. You can easily find these products in an exterior car detailing in NJ.

4. Taking the professional aid

Sometimes, it is better to let the experts deal with the mess. With the right tools, products and skill, a professional detailer would remove the sap marks and leave your car with its pristine finish. The car wax acts as a protective coat between the paint and such damages. So, while you are at a detailer, you could protect your car with a professional car wax.
