Tree Sap of fail

Gents,

When I was in France, the car got a fair bit of abuse from Pine Tree sap. It's like the stickiest glue / adhesive i've ever seen.

Warm water = FAIL
Washing up liquid = FAIL
Clay bar = FAIL
AG Tar remover = FAIL
Household adhesive remover = FAIL

before I kill it with steel wool and then rotary out the scratches, is there anything else on the planet I can use to at least break it down if not fully remove?

Hmm, reading around, its more likely to be Honeydew from the bottoms of insects that live in the trees.

Replace the body panel, its the only way to be sure.

Really? Is nuking it from orbit also viable?

sounds like you have just been a bit namby pamby in your attempts and not given it some propper elbow grease.

Now, I happen to know you're taking the pee!!

Managed to get rid of it. Nail polish didn't touch it i'm afriad. I had to resort to some far stronger.

......... Coke (I kid you not). Left to soak on a rag, lifted the rag, glue, gone.
