Thread: tree sap removal

Another good trick to use on the really hard tree sap that is really difficult to get off is using a razor blade. It has to be really sharp and you cannot use it on any convex angles. This is an excellent way to ruin your paint with deep scratches if not done right. You have to hold the razor at a very low angle so that the sharpest edge of the razor is held just off the surface of the paint. Do not attempt this if you do not understand this last statement. You will seriously damage your paint. The thin residue left behind is much easier to clean up than the thick drop that you started with.
