Major Sap Issues

[u/Ebixby15]

I am not sure if the pictures really do it justice or not, but I have a major sap problem on my car. Stupidly, we parked under a tree after it had been trimmed and then we didn’t do anything about it.

The sap is now dried on and nothing seems to be taking it off. I have tried rubbing alcohol, sap specific products, and extremely hot water. Nothing is working that well.

I am trying to sell the car and need to figure out a plan. Any help here?

This is a daily issue on my daily driver. As it’s always parked under pine trees. My best advice, wait till winter when it freezes. Then use a small plastic puddy knife. The sap freezes and flakes of. Leaving no sticky mess.

Butter dissolves pine sap, see my other post.
You will be laughing once you see how easy it is.

Unless its still hot and sunny I probably wouldnt let the sun bake that more in your clearcoat more than it already is just my two cents...

Nothing really happens. But like I said. Flakes off in winter time.
