Mechanical/Chemical Help: Walnut Sap/Red Deposit 2008 Audi A4.

[Woob]

Had a frantic call for help with this 2008 Audi A4. Car was left underneath a tree, client believed it was a deposit/sap of some sort. Taken to the car wash, also had a "detailer" try claying and a few chemicals.



Showed up on site, wiped it down with Opticlean. Used the following:



Auto Finesse Oblitarate

Mineral Spirits

3M Adhesive Remover

Clay

Nanoskin Med Towel.



Nothing made a dent. There wasnt anything on the top surface, so went to a mechanical approach: 3 inch Orange + Rotary/105 really level things through. Anyone else have any ideas? This car already needs a good detail with IronX/Clay. The hood is the worst, the trunk came out pretty nicely with some leftover spots. I feel the residue from the car etched into the paint immediately after 1 week.



Thanks all!

That looks a lot like what my hood looks like after a night of parking under my neighbors crab apple tree. They fall and smash on the hood leaving little splats of red juice.



I have no idea how to remove yours, mine washes right off...so I guess I`m of little use in this thread. :tape:
