Tree Resin/Sap help needed.
Well being that I live at an apartment. If the sun is out I don't cover my car. I washed my car yesterday and woke up to this on my car today.
Now I noticed some on there before I washed it and I scrubbed it out. But this is ridiculous. It's ALL over the car. I mean there seems like there is no way to do this with out an electric buffer. Any Ideas? Yesterday the car was squeeky clean and now this. I was hoping to take it and get it waxed this weekend before I head down to NC on the 23rd.

Not sure what type of solvent if any at all. But its not the black specs, its the Orange type of spots.
I mean I can SCRUB and I mean I have to SCRUB hard to get these spots out.

Goo Gone and WD-40 come to mind. Remember that solvents will strip any sealant or wax you have on, so be prepared to reapply.

Rubbing Alcohol will not damage Clear Coat, Actually with some detailing products and when it especially comes to a paint "Sealant" you need the cleanest prepped surface possible.
I had a Pine tree on my old 94 z28 (Black) litterally blew it's sap load on my bumper and only with some store bought rubbing alcohol and a textured sponge was I able to get it off.
