Tree Sap and Tar can be extremely difficult to remove and the sooner they are treated the better. This process is also used to remove paint overspray. I would like to walk you through this process step by step.
- First I will degrease the infected area. A degreaser will help to break down tree sap and tar, making the removal of them much easier and also minimizes the possibility of scratching the finish in the process.
- Next I will wash the infected area with a strong wash solution. After it has been degreased and washed, I will pressure wash the infected area. This removes any remaining debris and preps the surface for claying.
- Now I will clay the infected area. This should remove all tree sap and tar, but in extreme cases claying will not remove it completely.
- In extreme cases I will need to machine compound the infected area. This will completely remove any remaining tree sap. In 90% of tar cases, claying will be sufficient and compounding will not be needed.
- Now that the infection has been completely removed, I will wax the treated area. I do this because during the cleaning steps the original wax coat will be removed.
I highly recommend adding these steps to my Paint Protection Package. Each tree sap/tar case is different and will take a different amount of time, so there is not "average" price. I will give an estimation before I work on your vehicle.
