Hey does anyone know the best way to get tree sap off of a car? on the window, paint, and on my convertible top... or am I SOL?
It was a windy day and where I parked the stang work I got lots of globs all over my car!
Thanks!

You can scrap it off the window. Goof Off works great... on the convertible top you have to be very carefull. I am not sure goof off or any type of bug and tar remover would work, and it might destroy the fabric. Speak with the dealer or even an upholstery shop about a solvent that might break down the sap and not ruin the top.

I never had to deal with tree sap , but a passenger had stepped in gum that needless to say stuck all in the carpet, the remover was almost like a spray freon, then it just crumbled apart, no damage to the carpet. something like that may work on the top
