[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 507527, member: 27803"] I’m planning on retreating it once I get it cleaned. Just like my truck. I had to remove everything down to the clear coat. And then the sap had already etched its way into the surface. I got lucky and was able To polish it out along with the scratches I made removing the sap. I tried a small spot today with Seafoam Bugs B Gone. It took sap off the truck and I contacted them and was assured it’s safe on any surface. Then they fallowed up with but try a test spot first. Lol I didn’t leave it on for a full minute and it took off some sap. The instructions say wait 1-2 minutes. I’m going to try ipa as well. Right now I’m on Christmas light duty before I can go at it full steam. I thought about something else. I have a pretty powerful little Bessel for cleaning carpet and upholstery. I could spray what cleaner works and shoot it with real warm water then extract it. I’ve cleaned the vehicles and the furniture in the house with it and it’s a stout machine. The wand has a brush I can use with the water and cleaner before vacuuming it up. Just another idea worth trying. Sure would make it easy to clean if it works. I always try to work smarter than harder. Sometimes it backfires on me though. Thank y’all for the tarp idea. Consider that done. [/QUOTE]
