So I recently detailed a Lincoln Navigator. Started claying the car, and my Swissvax clay start smearing like crazy. Rubbed it off, sniffed the area, and it smelled strongly of pine sap. As far as I could tell, some smart person had layered wax onto barely cleaned up tree sap. I even found a few drops of tree sap on the vehicle.
Fortunately my buffer ate right through the sap, but for future jobs I would really...really like to get that crap off before I almost ruin another clay bar. What do you pros use to get sap off a large area of a vehicle? I tried rubbing alcohol, which did nothing, and P21s, which also accomplished nothing. I though maybe something like a 50/50 mix of water and denatured alcohol/Prepsol might do the trick, but I figure you gentlemen might have an answer.
Thanks!
