KDMatt Posted May 8, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2007 ... Yup... another tree fell on the ZNo pics this time, it wasn't quite as spectacular as last time, and I didn't have a camera.Anyway, this time it was a 35/40 foot tall pine tree, and while it didn't do any damage to the car, it left all kinds of sappy goo on it. Windex got it off of the windows with lots of rubbing... but I've got no clue what I should use on the body...Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zs-ondabrain Posted May 8, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2007 Goo Gone or Zippo Lighter Fluid. Those work for me. But then again, I used to use Margerine (butter) to get tree sap of my hands. Something to do with the oil in the soft spread.$0.02 worthDave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280z1975 Posted May 8, 2007 Share #5 Posted May 8, 2007 Auto Paint shops have great tar and grease removers ... Wal-mart or other auto supply stores have other specialty Tar and Grease removers. I can't remeber what I use to buy from Walmart, but it worked well on the fried and dead bugs on the front of my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzi Lon Posted May 8, 2007 Share #6 Posted May 8, 2007 Turpentine works wonders because it is a solvent distilled from pine sap. A chain saw works wonders on offending trees.Bonzi Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted May 8, 2007 Share #9 Posted May 8, 2007 GOT WOOD? Geesh, whats the odds of that happening again? And so soon! We have always used WD-40 to remove tree sap, mainly because it's on hand and works well enough. I usually rinse with soapy water immediately after.

justin260z Posted May 8, 2007 Share #12 Posted May 8, 2007 Yes indeed, I use wd-40 to remove road tar from my Z... because in Oklahoma they like to pile tar on top of a pot hole and call it done.So wd-40 got its name kind of like the rx-7, rotary experiment 7... neato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
