I found a spot of sap on my hood that removed pretty easily with a light finger-nail push, but it left behind a pretty bad stain.



I have a white car, so the spot looks like a wet water drop on a sheet of paper. There isn`t anything else on the surface, it`s all in the clear-coat i`m guessing. I tried clay-bar to make sure i didn`t have anything else in it. Then Meg`s Deep Crystal Cleaner and then the Polish. didn`t help a thing.



The size is slightly smaller than a pencil eraser, so it`s not like i`ll obsess TOO much (even though i know i will), but when washing it just bugged me.



Any suggestions? I was thinking Tarminator, but since the actual sap is already gone, is that going to help any?



Thanks guys

For now try rubbing some more DC Cleaner on it to see if you can polish it out. Otherwise you might have to use something stronger like Scratch-X or something... Good luck.

Well i bought some PIII and some #7 and that helped a lot. Still noticeable if you`re paying attention, but it seems to have faded. Ran out of time to keep on it, but it`s good enough for a cruise around town tonight.



Thanks for the suggestion of the Scratch-X. If it bothers me in the future i`ll definately consider that.
