Tree Sweat, Pitch, and Sap All Over Your Car or Truck? Finding Out the Best Cleaner to Remove It!

LAs awesome cleaner works miracles too.

Very nice voice, easy to listen and understand. I’m excited to go outside right now and give it a go! Thanks Len.

Using the wrong type of sponge, mitt, or microfiber towel the wrong way also causes scratches. Never use a regular house towel. They scratch cars paint.
Always dry your car in straight lines not circles.
Always pull the tags off towels - they scratch paint
Never put your microfiber towels/cloths, in the dryer in heat only air spin or air dry and don’t use fabric softeners. They break down the fibers. Then you can scratch the paint
Remove bird droppings immediately as they eat the clear coat. If you wait too long - you guessed it. You can scratch paint.
Non acid wheel n tire cleaner works wonders all over the car. spray on, let sit then hose off.
If you use an alcohol spray or dawn dish detergent alway wax after.
These are things I’ve learned from various detailers.

This guy always convinced me to do this kind of things 👏 specifically when he explain how to replace parts.! Love it👌 God bless my friend

Your too dramatic. I’m out!

What about bug and tar remover.

I have trees over my parking area and my truck looks like this often. I find the best approach is to wait for a day of rain that softens up the crud, then go to self carwash or pressure wash

Than k s for th

So what about the roof and the gaskets around the windows ?

Pb blast

I'll save you at least 15 minutes,
Rubbing alcohol, your welcome.

A spray bottle with a 15% mixture of rubbing alcohol in water works pretty good, but it can remove your wax if you get too enthusiastic with it.

I watched your video start to finish and honestly not impressed with your results! My black Malibu was coated with mold, pollen & tree sap! I instead wet it first, brushed on dollar store bleach, rinsed, washed, then used paste compound, washed again then applied Turtle Wax & Dry, (smells like coconut) and for the time being it shines like new!

Good video. You showed the " do" and the " don't do".

Great video

A good pressure washer can probably get all of that sap sweat off the car. Then get a snow foam product to wash & wax. Rinse. Dry it off with big microfiber towels and you're good.

What about harden cured pine sap?

Alcohol is best !

No disrespect, but that not tree sap

20 years ago we used to wash car with detergent powder, cleansing well buy makes paint dull. But now it is so many products on market

Depends on what type of sap. Example: Sweet gum tree sap. What this guy has is more dirt than sap. Hand gel works for itty bitty sap spots. Nothing works better than 70% alcohol not even steam!! Use spray bottle from dollar store, wait a few seconds and wipe. Keep repeating will not damage paint. When done put wax on but do not wipe off in winter until ready. In summer wax will bake on so do it in the shade and wipe when dry.

Whats with the camera guy... Zomm in... Zoom out... Zoom in... Zoom out...

Try "No scrub whitewall tire cleaner spray it and forget it" on the test vehicle. Would be interesting to how well it does or does not work....

I use Dawn dishwashing liquid. It does a great job.

use a clay bar it always works

A little 10w30 on a paper towel can get small ?stains? Off

👍🤣😂 Len your performance is getting better and better. I use bug and tar remover.

Vinegar, dish soap and water combined in a ratio 1 vinegar, 1 dish soap, to 10 parts water. Works great with no effort just rinse off.

You can tell he's not a detailer

how do you clean your car during summer?
Me: wait untail winter, the snow will cean itself
how do your clean the snow during winter?

You enjoyed that scratch pad method demonstration haha

Is it Ready for the Scrap yard Yet , 6 months Later of ( Things That Don't Work ) ??? Great idear Keep Your Cleaning Scratches going all in the same direction !!!

no necesitas tantos productos .sólo utiliza Wd40 y te queda bien

That's Not a Tan on Grandpa , He Loves his Shade Tree !!!

A slightly strong solution of Dawn and warm water, let it soak for 5-10 minutes, reapplying several times. Will really dissolve a lot of grim and oil-based compounds. Just make sure to wax or put a good protectant on it afterwards as it really strips down to the clear coat. Sap/Tar are extra difficult no matter what, and the accept that it will take a little more time than regular dirt, and don't rush it and ruin your paint.

You could've use a snow form and a form cannon. You leave snow form for a few minutes then rinse it off. It would've been worth a try. Just suggesting.

That’s the soapiest peroxide I’ve ever seen

Please make a video on how to remove road paint with out ruining the clear coat please and ty.

Dollar store squeegee for windows buddy.

Unfortunately I have pine trees right beside my driveway and this year has been especially bad for sap. Probably because I just had my Mustang painted...lol

make sure your car has been washed before this 2 simple steps.

1)alcohol (the one you use on wounds) with a Q Tip. will take the sap off.

2) you then use your favorite spray wax with a micro fiber and gently wipe.

:sources 2016 honda civic had a bunch of tree sap brought it to my nearest car wash. they then were gonna charge me 300 for a full detail. I then talked to the manager stated I just wanted the sap off. he told me his little tricks

Dont like to Say but pressured warm water & soap in car wash centre finishing with a tar&glue spray.

Have you thought of using Adobe pad I always use that to clean the bugs off the front of my car

great video!

Love watching your videos. Very informative and entertaining!

Bug & Tar Remover!.....................ps: ALL trees have Sap.

I have been told that dish detergent contains abrasives that will scratch the paint

Pressure washer on older cars will likely fleck the paint off, elbow grease is the best bet. Just did this with a 1999 Silverado.
With those really dirty cars, wash/rinse between dirt layers so you're not rubbing the dirt into the paint more then necessary, claybar really gets the sap off after the wash.
