Unhappy Paint job ruined?

First off, I did the search and looked at almost every tree sap post ever made here.

BUT, I have tried many of the things suggested and nothing has worked. I have tried goo gone and warm water and LOTS of elbow grease, didnt even make a dent!

It seems like tree sap is fried onto my car, I can't tell if its permanent or not but I am willing to be thats what it is.


Is Daylonious still on this site? Same thing appeared to have happened to his car. Did you ever get it out?

ANy other suggestions? Is the bug/tar remover really hat much better than goo gone? Can diesel fuel even get something out that seems baked on?

I really feel sick to my stomach as my car looks awful! I don't want to ruin it for good by trying anything that could really damage the paint!

Please, any info would be great! I would even consider paying the person who provides the solution that works the best!

Thanks everyone!

I had to use bug&tar remover to get some oily mix stuff off. Nothing else, no matter how hard I scrubbed, would take it off.

Most bug and tar stuff will strip your wax, so be prepared to re-wax immediately.
