I'm about to get my car back from haveing the transmission rebuilt.I told the mechanic to take his time on it,Because i wasn't in a hurry to get it back,And i didn't have all the money to give him.Any way,the car's been sitting at his shop since the middle of febuary,Most of the time under a big shade tree,and it's really dirty,with tree sap,and this "Green stuff" (i think it's pollen or something),Does anyone know how to get this stuff out? The car's white,So the dirt is really noticible.

 

I am currently using a product called "Goof Off" (that's right, 'Goof'), on the adhesive left behind from the removal of the stock Firebird striping...it works AWESOME! A little dab on a cloth, rub it on, let it set....wipe it off, the sticky residue comes off with it, and doesn't harm the paint. Just check out your local hardware store, I'm sure they'll have something similar.

 

turtle wax makes this stuff called 'bug, tar and tree sap remover.' i've never used it so i dunno if it works

 

Holy Crap!!! Why does everyone instantly run to chemicals? Just wash the car to get the green pollen off. The sap will dissolve with hot water and mild vinegar. If the sap remains, wash the car using a clay bar. The sap will be gone and so will any other paint contaminant.

 

I know what you are saying Scott, but I've used the GOOF OFF stuff myself, it doesnt harm a thing, I actually used this to take off the residue left behind by the IROCZ stickers, worked great. Everything else worked like crap. The only thing you have to do is buff and polish, because the GOOF OFF takes all of the Wax off, and leaves the area dull, no big Whoop.

 

*as StngKlr said*

 

Try Purrell Hand Sanitizer, it costs about 2 bucks, and is available at any drug store or Walmart, etc. it worked on my car and did not harm the paint.

 

Well,I went and tried putting vinegar in a solution with hot water and dish soap and all the dirt and pollen and stuff came right off pretty easily,Thanks for the help.-Can't wait to drive my car to work tomorrow!

 

Try goof off, i just wouldnt let it sit to long and wash your car right after
