Pine Sap Removal
This has probably been kicked around before, but does anyone have a good solution to removing pine tree sap? I was just going to grab a soft, gas-dipped rag, then re-wax the area.

Oversteer is better than understeer because you don't see the tree you're hitting.

Re: Pine Sap Removal
I haven't tried it, but I would bet a product like GOOF OFF would work well for that.

That works great on cone marks too.....Use lightly... and wash clean...

Follow up with a your favorite wax/sealant/all-in-one!
If you feel like spending $$$, you can try a can of Stoner Tarminator. I have no experience with this product.

Chain saw. Apply liberally beforehand.
Re: Pine Sap Removal
Mike, you truly are The Man! Don't know how the glass cleaner works with hard, baked-in sap, but with still tacky sap it was amazing! I was expecting to have to rub that mofo for a long time to get it out, but it was literally three swipes and it was gone. Waxed it up and less than five minutes later, viola! Thanks!
