Gretie22 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Washed the car today and noticed I've been parked next to an evil little tree that has dropped sticky s*** all over my car and it won't come off it comes off if you scratch it, but not with my wash mitt. Any Ideas what I can use to get it off? my dad said I should use white spirit, but I really don't like that Idea.

ScottC Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Claying should remove that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks, can you recommend me a clay to buy? I know Meguiars do it. Anyone know if it's any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Meguiars will get it off and will supply everything in the kit However If you make up you own sopy soliton you can get the bars of ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Clay-Bar-200g-Car-Cleaning-Detailing-Valeting-Quik-Claying-/161118447767?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item2583686897 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Claying should get that off, perhaps give the car a good polish as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Bilt Hamber regular clay. On ebay for £12 for a massive block. Only need to use water with it. Huge bar much better value than meguires. You can get 5 bars from one block mine has lasted ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol sadly not it's actually from the most pathetic little tree, but it has these tiny little sticky buds on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Lol sadly not it's actually from the most pathetic little tree, but it has these tiny little sticky buds on it. I'd deal with the tree first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretie22 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'd deal with the tree first I would if it was my tree, it's in our residential car park. What's annoying is the tree is in the middle of the two best spaces in the car park, which are corner spaces that I park most of the time as no one can open their doors into my car.

Dnk Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 If its sticky then i'd guess tar and glue remover would also shift it, then re polish your paintwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
