92 Mustang, parked in my driveway under a tree. Tree left little black dots on the white paint, sap I guess. Washed with Dawn, won't come off. There are a million of them all over the hatch area. What the hell can I use to get them off. I tried clay, no worky. About to buy a bottle of Softscrub this is driving me nuts. Yea yea I should have waxed more often.

Thanks for the help.
 
Go with the softscrub!!!:D :D

NO PLEASE DON"T!! Just get some vinegar, or some rubbing alcohol. That should do the trick. You could also try some 3M adhesive & wax remover. Good luck!

Softscrub...... :D that's a good one!
 
I've tried alcohol already and it didn't do the trick. I can feel the tiny bumps, but nothing I've tried works so far. I have to get the new hood painted, so I was thinking about having the body shop detail the rest of the car for me.

Thanks for the tip. I will try the vinegar next. I read after doing a search that turpentine is also recommended, and the adhesive remover.
 
I just did a 79 eldorado with the same thing. I washed, clayed, used my PC with 3m swirl remover for white cars, Meg machine glaze, Meg sealant and 3 coats of medallion. All the spots came off after the pc. The clay took some but not all off. The car was in pretty bad shape too. I haven't used the megs sealant but was pleased with the results on white....(I figured what better color to try it on but white?) :D Lots of sap bearing trees here in Hawaii...Not to mention it is Mango season.

Good Luck!

Since all the wax is gone (you Dawn washed it off) I'd use Wax and Grease Remover. Get it from the body shop supply store.

DO NOT USE SOFT SCRUB.
 
Boy are you gunna get yelled at! A PC is a Porter Cable orbital polisher but the reason you'll get yelled at is that there is a search function and many places to learn all about the terms that are being used.

Glad to have you aboard. I don't mean to give you a hard time, just kidding about the getting yelled at stuff but you'll make friends and gain their respect if you spend some time doing the reading.
