Tree Sap removal - 7/23/2006 2:33:43 PM    mustang gtizzle Posts: 175 Joined: 6/9/2005 Status: offline I've got a ton of little tree sap dots all over my car and was wondering if there was a method you guys use or a product you use to remove it. I'm not 100% sure it's tree sap, but it looks like little dots of super glue and when you scratch at it it messes the paint up. Most of them are very small, some a little larger but they are ticking me off beyond belief. Thanks for the help! _____________________________ 2002 Mustang GT Convertible Torch Red -17'' Alloy Wheels -Mach 1000 -Black leather -Modified Exhaust Post #: 1

But you will need to wax the car after. _____________________________ 04 GT 5 spd---Predator--FRPP 4.10`s--MAC catted H--BBK CAI--Flowmaster 40`s--MGW 05 Ranger 4X4---4.10`s--K&N CAI (in reply to mustang gtizzle) Post #: 3
