Sap Stains

[ftatul]

Hi. I have a 3 month old 05 Pilot and live where we have lots of Pine trees and some hang over my driveway. I have a couple of sap stains that I cannot remove no matter what I try. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You might be screwed. If you don't take off pine sap ASAP it will stain the paint big time. My folks have pine trees all over the place and when I visit I won't park under them. That said, WD40 does a good job removing pine sap as does the pine/tar removers from auto shops.

Use some rubbing alcohol on a rag.It will remove the wax in that area also(it will look dull) so don't make a bigger circle than needed.Once the sap is gone use a good wax and buff the spot back(either by hand or with an electric buffer)

You can try using Stoner Tarminator or Clay bar to remove those sap stains.

I have tried both and they work very well on my pilot.
