Regularly cleaning tree sap
 
*crap, wrong subforum. Please move this, mods. Sorry.

Parking spaces at work got trees pretty much everywhere, and sap keeps dropping every day.

Right now my approach to taking care of it is a quick soap and water wipe with a soft sponge. Gets it off without involving any force, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to go about this since the paint on Z's isn't so robust.

Thought about a car cover, but that would be pretty awkward....and "get a new job" is comically in play, but literally in the same area where I'd be opting for the same parking spaces. (yeah, it's a bit of a weird transition).

you could get the car paint protection.

I got this done and everything just hoses off

Seems like an idea. Kinda want to get the car detailed and have some scratches sorted before going for that.

Most good places will do a paint correction first

You have that many trees in your parking lot in California? Where is this oasis of trees you mention of?

Bay Area. Literally trees down the block near where I work. By the time that tree row ends, the area is shady by another definition.

I had that problem when I went to the VA Hospital in Sacto., young maple(?) trees, after a few hours that car is dotted with sap....they just built a 3 story parking garage so that's where I go now..
