If you have a pressure washer, that will always help get the cleaning process moving more efficiently and faster..
If it`s really dirty, and looks like it may have tree sap, etc., I always pressure wash it first, straight water, to knock off as much as possible, then while it`s wet, spray it all down with Meguiars Super Degreaser at 10:1 strength in a 35 ounce spray bottle..
Let it sit for a bit, perhaps wash it with a chenille mitt, and pressure wash it all off again.. Don`t forget to open the gas filler door and get behind the door and in the opening..
If there is a lot of tree sap, (and some Pine Trees really drop a lot of it), I try to pressure wash as much off IF possible, and get the rest off with Q-tips and Goof-Off Professional in the little metal can, from H/Depot.. Just touch the sap with a wet Q-tip for a few seconds, see if it comes off on the tip, and wipe off that spot quickly with a microfiber towel that is absorbent short pile.. It`s tedious but it works for me and I have never hurt any marque vehicle paint..
That`s how I do it..
Good luck with this !
