Guest sixpack2639 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 WD-40 and it won't hurt the paint! You just have to let it sit for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDale Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Dear Sixpack,I would think any wax and grease remover would do it.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InMyMerryOLDSMOBILE Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would use a product called Goo Gone. It is citrus based & has an oily feel to it. You can let it soak for a few minutes (in the shade). I use it all the time & it has never caused a problem for me.This is from their web site. http://www.magicamerican.com/products_gg.shtml FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GOO GONECan I use Goo Gone to remove tar, stickers, grease off my car?Goo Gone is safe on your car exterior, using instructions for hard surfaces. It's safe on your upholstery and carpeting, using the instructions for carpeting. It's safe on the vinyl and glass, but may remove the tint from the tinted side of windows.For all those gooey, sticky, gummy, greasy cleaning problems. Removes chewing gum, grease, tar stickers, labels, tape residue, oil, blood, lipstick and mascara, shoe polish, crayon, bumper stickers. Works on carpets, upholstery, clothing, wood, and cement.Most drug stores sell Goo Gone.Good LuckNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 MerryOlds,I was just going to suggest that. I have used it to get the stickers of the deck lid that dealers install.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve29 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I've had great success with the orange oil hand cleaner that is readily available. I discovered it when I was able to get Christmas tree sap off my hands without removing my skin. It was like a miracle. Then I tried it on my driver and it worked just as well and didn't hurt the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxnard Montalvo Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 If none of the excellent suggested remedies removes the tree sap, I once again stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.This morning a 100% foolproof solution to your problem came to me in a flash of enlightenment.
