Expert: Dick Benjamin Date: 11/17/2004 Subject: removing old pine sap off vehicle. Question Hi Mr Benjamin, I know you are not a paint and body man but you may have run into this situation in your dealing with older cars I have a vehicle that’s been sitting under the pine trees for a few years. A fairly thick layer of dark, sap stains cover alot of the hood and roof. The rest of the car looks fairly nice. I tried Turtle Wax’s Bug+Tar remover (says it also removes tree sap.) doesn’t work very well, but that was just rubbing in with a sponge. I can borrow a buffer machine, was going to try that along with the bug-n-tar remover next, but was wondering if you might have a better approach? I don’t really wish to sand and re-paint. Can you give me some better ideas on procedure and a sap-remover substance? What would you do in this situation? Thanks very much, John Crawford Get the answer below Sponsored Links Classic Car Storage Climate Controlled/NYC Area A Country Club for Car Owners
