Nothing is more of a bummer than the first flaw on your perfect new vehicle! Fortunately, tree sap can be removed, and your hood will be restored to its former glory!
Rubbing alcohol (also called Isopropyl Alcohol) and a microfiber cloth or some cotton balls are all you need to solve your problem. Here’s what to do:
Soak your cloth or cotton balls in the rubbing alcohol
Apply that directly to the tree sap and let it soak for 30-60 seconds
Rub the cloth in a circular motion to remove the sap
Use a clean cloth and water to rinse the area when you are done
People may recommend nail polish remover for removing sap—but be wary. This can permanently mess up your car’s paint job.
