Default Tree Sap?

Hey, I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions for me. What is the best product to use to remove tree sap from my paint? I parked under a tree and it stormed pretty bad and I have 2 very noticeable spots on my hood.

Water and car soap, or use the bug and tar remover.

those won't really help all that well

what you need is MEGUIARS products. Paint cleaner...then a polish and then a wax. What I would so is the following and you will be amazed with the results

Wash with car wash soap
Dry
Clay bar the car (meguiars has this too)
Polish
Wax

The finish will be like new!

Yeah, I have little brownish/ Yellowish dots on my paint. They don't come with washing and I have not clue where they came from. Should I follow the same procedure?

absolutely.

Do this.

email meguiars salesman Jeffrey Evans at JEvans@Meguiars.com

Tell him Erick Valdez referred you to get a clay bar/spray mist package, nxt wax, paint cleaner and polish.......that will make it look kinda like mine above. You can buy it directly from meguiars, which works out nicely rather than shopping around. Not sure if you can get the CLAY and MIST at local auto stores..email him
