Hey AZ,

I got some stubborn grime I am having a real hard time removing. Any advice? My car is usually parked under a tree so it was probably something from there.

I'm guessing I should probably wax the crap out of it but I'm pretty new when it comes to car detailing. It's on the hood if you can't tell from the picture.

I want to get rid of it ASAP I had another car I recently sold that sat for awhile and had similar spots to this and it ate through the clearcoat on parts of the hood on it.

 

soap and water doesnt get rid of it!?!?!?

looks like tree sap.

soap and water and a microfiber towel.

 

What is that? Is it sticky when you touch it (thats what she said)?

 

i use grime reaper by chem guys.
diluted half and half with water.
that keeps it pretty strong since its recommend to be diluted 8 or 9 to 1 i think.

stuff is pretty strong. i use it to get rid of pretty much anything stubborn on the exterior.
its water based so its safe for pretty much all finishes.

 

Kerosene... Works great and is clear coat friendly..
