How To Easily Remove Tree Sap! - Chemical Guys

Today's video, we demonstrate how to safely remove tree sap from your paint. Tree sap ruins car paint! Have you ever parked under the shade of a beautiful tree only to find sticky tree sap all over the place? The sticky syrupy mess oozes out from trees and falls all over your car's roof, windshield, hood, and any other paintwork and glass.

Removing tree sap can be very tricky. Some people resort to rubbing and scrubbing with hard brushes or towels, but they end up scratching and swirling the paintwork as they go.

Others use caustic chemicals like hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, water displacement sprays, or lacquer thinner to melt the sap away. Those caustic chemicals can be bad for your health, and definitely remove any wax coatings from your paintwork, leaving it exposed to the elements and more sap contamination.

Using Butter Wet Wax to remove tree sap is easy, fast, cheap, and safe. If you love your car, chances are you already have a bottle on your shelf. You don't need a lot of product, just squeeze a couple dots of Butter Wet Wax on your microfiber towel, then rub it gently over the affected area. Give it a few treatments until all the tree sap is completely gone.

This Butter Wet Wax tree sap removal trick works on any shiny or clear surface on your car. Remove tree sap from paintwork, glass, clear optical plastics, and polished metals like chrome and stainless steel.

Bought your butter wet wax and the towels to remove sap that had been on the hood of my vehicle for well over a year. It worked. It worked like magic. You gained a new customer for your product line. Beyond impressed with the results.

Tried this out today and it worked great. The sap spots were over 2 weeks old (work and a lot of rain prevented me from doing it sooner). I took a few applications on some of the spots, but they came right out with no swirl marks and minimal effort. Thank you guys for this tip, it saved me a lot of work and potentially a lot of damage to my new car!

I have to get that for mines and my wife’s car. Unfortunately sometimes we get stuck parking under trees at work that have sap 😑. But looks simple to fix that’s Nick 😄👍🏽👌🍺

Literally 0 complaints here. My BMW windows are BAD so im excited to try this one in this video .

[mikedehaan]

Would this work on something like baked-on sunscreen? I was able to get some of it off with a medium/light clay bar, but I think I need something else.

You guys are awesome!!! Wish I lived closer to you guys!!! I’d be there everyday. You would all get tired of me... 😂!!! I have to settle for my next visit to see my daughter in college.

Impressive, I just bought a used car and it was sitting under a tree and has accumulated a lot of tree sap. I am gonna have to stop by in Gardena and try that out.

[vermontwanderer]

Used this process today for the first time. It DOES work but not as effortlessly as portrayed in this video. Definitely still a lot of elbow grease involved. And yes, it does work on windshields.
