Maple syrup spot, are they those tiny brown looking things rust-like color?
You can get those out by claying.

You can spray water onto the engine bay, cover up all the electrical stuff. No need to use a pressure washer either, a regular hose will work with some engine degreaser.

 

yea those sticky spot ones.

 

Stoners Tarminator will work also.

 

Denatured alcohol.... clean and mild compared to some of the other chemical alternatives and will not harm the paint or clear. but with anything that you use to get that kind of stuff off, plan on giving it a spot waxing/sealing when your done. If it is taking off sap, it is taking off protection too.

 

hm..i leave the spots on the car for a few days and it's dried now. would that hurt the paint? would clay damage the paint too?

 

no, claying it will not hurt the paint. It make take some work to remove a large drop of sap in this means and if it is super hard, like my sisters car had this weekend, claying would not remove it. I use denatured alcolhol all the time to remove the sap, it breaks down the chemical properties of the sap, in other words, it dissolves it. Just take a clean rag, put a little bit of alcohol on it and wipe the sap off. If it is hardened, just let it soak for a few seconds, it works VERY effectivly, will not harm your finish and it easy to find at any hardware store and inexpensive. Either method is perfectly safe for your paint, but with either one, be sure that you spot wet/seal because they are both going to be removing your protective layer and leaving bare clean and sterile clearcoat.

 

Leaving the sap on the car could possibly cause damage to the finish. I usually have several MF towels, a QD, Tarminator and spray bottle of water in my trunk as a just in case. That way I can do a quick clean if the occasion arises.
