Ok, i wasnt sure where to put this, so if it belongs somewhere else move it. But here is my question

Recently, i have had to part my 4Runner outside and unfortounatly, alot of Sap has dripped on the windshield and on the paint. What would be the best, easiest, and quickest way to get it all off? Thanks yall

 

Bug and Adhesive remover...3M makes one that I know of and everybody says it will get pretty much anything off your paint and I would assume your glass too. Just be sure to wax the area that you use it on.

Have you tried washing it off? I had some mud spots that kind of etched themselves into the paint ... the only thing that helped was to wash, polish, and wax.

Hopefully the sap you've gotten can be taken off with a regular cleaning.

(hopefully also others will chime in about this!)

Good luck!!

 

careful, the 3M stuff is really powerful.... it might strip off paint... it says to test for colorfastness on an inconspicuous area first

 

Try lighter fluid on it and wash afterwards.

 

Alcohol dissolves sap. If you catch it when it's fresh, wipe the worst of it off first. Then clean with the green Windex, which is alcohol based. (The blue Windex is ammonia based and won't touch it.) For worse spots, rubbing alcohol takes off sap. Generally won't harm paint, not factory paints (or any urethanes) anyway. Now, if the sap spots are hard and dry, you gotta scrape them off. Then clean with alcohol, takes longer to get it soften the sap.

By the way, those pulpy brush trails down the sides of the rig clean off with green Windex too. (unless they actual scratches anyway...)

 

WD40 has always worked well for me.
