My car has been sitting for a while waiting for the engine to get complete , and it was parked under trees and sapp is all over the hood and hardened. How can i get it off with out ruining the paint.

Is there anything they sell to remove this stuff.

 

there's some stuff made by Turtle wax called 'Bug and Tar Remover.' 3M also makes an Adhesive/wax/tar remover, but it'll take the wax right off.



Turtle Wax:

 

go to auto zone or wallmart, they have some kind of spray called bug and sap removal. It's green bottle with spray nozzle. It removes it right up.

 

The stuff that 3M makes is great, it comes in a red/white canister and takes glue and **** right off. We use it at work on the cars that come from oversees to take off the glue marks left by the plastic covering the cars. It's called Acrosol or something like that, a hardware store should have it.

 

ahem...i use pancake syrup..or if the g-store is closed then i uses that bug and tar remover..but i use gunk

 

Thanks alot guys I just came back form buying the "bug and tar remover" , I will let you guys know how it works.

 

that stuff is simply called 3M general purpose adhesive cleaner



maybe your thinking of PrepSol when you say acrosol?

 

Thats what i was going to say, TW bug and tar. I got it from work one day to take sapp off my buddies ninja 636, works like a dream.

 

After the bug tar stuff might wanna try a clay bar too.

 

make sure you wax the car after using that stuff, it strips all wax as well
