Tony, sap from a tree can be removed using mineral spirits. Bill, black spots from leaves is an acid from decaying leaves and it has eaten into the surface of the paint. The only way to remove it is to remove some of the paint by using a buffing compound or wet/dry sand paper of about 400 to 600 grit, buff with polishing compound and then seal the surface with a coat of clear.

Personally I'd like to know what I can use to cut the black crap that gets on a car when it sits under a maple tree for a long time. I have one here with decent paint under the black stuff, but not sure what I can use to get it off. Newer cars that sit that had shiny paint it comes off if you scrub real hard, but the thought of scrubbing the top of this car for hours makes me not want to bother - Bill K. ----- Original Message ----- From: "moparted" <moparted_70@xxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Sap > car wash soap/water. > > --- Tony Boatman <acboatman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > Hello List, > > > > > > > > That's both my problem and what I feel like.
