i've got this tree in the front of my yard above the driveway and lately whenever my car sits below it for an extended period of time it seems to get covered with these drops of resin-like tree sap.

once the sap dries it forms and impenetrable barrier much like a resin and wont respond to ordinary soaps and products, can't be scratched off because it's real hard and i'll end up damaging the paint.

it's also hydrophobic like wax

suggestions to get it off are welcome, it's making my car look like people have poured glue on it.

inb4 get a car cover, i will, but i still need to get this shit off
inb4 cut tree down
inb4 park in a different area

Clay bar ? or I got some of this citrus spray stuff thats good at getting off tough stains. Elbow grease ? I used some of this stuff to get the subaru imprint off my boot after I de-badged my car

i've used alot of that elbow grease stuff it wont work

i doubt a clay bar would work this stuff is some serious shit, like the plant version of superglue

i wonder if that citrus spray would work, i'll try squeezing lemon on it tomorrow

lol then I'd laugh if your paint drips off

I got a whole bottle of this heavy duty citrus spray crap at my house. Only bought it and used it once to take off the subaru imprint on my boot. Come over get it if ya want

If worst comes to worst, I got some industrial strength acid in the shed. We could try that.

i don't have enough petrol to make it to your house but carry it with you please just in case you see my car at uni

Tried methylated spirits etc? (Provided it's safe to use on your paint) it might help considering you said it was hydrophobic.

My cat is also hydrophobic. When she goes on my car, I use a broom/cricket bat/shoe or whatever else is near by to get her off.

^ a good bug and tar remover should get it off. Or at least try a clay bar, they do wonders.
