Any tips for getting rid of sun baked tree droppings off Opt-coat?
 
Hi,

Anyone have tips for getting rid of sun baked tree droppings off Opt-coat?

A tree I park under dropped some debris on my car and it's tough as hell to get off. My car has been opti-coated from the beginning. Is there anything I can use thats tough enough to get the debris off without stripping the Opti-Coat off?

thanks a heap!!

tree droppings!? you mean sap!? acetate would do. I'd mix water with it just in case so you can slowly take it off.

good luck.

Clay bar and any citrus based tar remover will help. I'd try to steer away from any solvents as it could harm the OptiCoat.

Have you given it a dawn wash yet?

Start with the least agressive method first, a good degreasing washing. Then we can ramp up on the agressive scale.

Acetate I would wait......:)

Cheers,
GREG
