Tree Sap/Hard water --- ARGHHHH

I went to Florida for a week and came back and my car is COVERED in tree sap and hard water... I've washed it twice and its still there.

Any ideas on getting it all off w/o having to spend hours on it?

use the three step system from mothers. There is a pre wax cleaner, 2 is a polish and three is the wax.

Try rubbing compound. It did a good job for my car that had sat up for 2 years

Rubbing compounds have abrasives in them. If you are not careful you will scratch the sh*t out of your paint. Try the mothers first. They also have a clay bar system that is pretty easy to use.
