Hi,

I am Frank and like most of you enjoy cars.



I have a specific question to start:

I just finished claying and waxing today in preparation for a 6 month storage in an covered parkade. I noticed after washing, when I was claying, that there are stains on the hood and trunk, and I am guessing this is from tree sap. I purchased a good 'Tree Sap Remover' (liquid solution), highly recommended but it did not work. It worked on another car, the daily driver.



Not having other options, I proceeded to wax, including over the tree sap stains. Will this be more difficult to remove later (after 6 months)? What do you recommend and has worked for you?



Thanks for looking

Welcome to the forums.



Would probably want to strip the wax in 6 months to get it off. I would recommend clay and lubricant. Should remove the wax and help take off the tree sap. If not strong enough, go for a gum and tar remover that is safe for paint. Be sure to wax again after.
