tree sap car paint damage
The fact is that trees don’t get that much sun. They are usually at the mercy of the weather and the whims of nature. They are also susceptible to damage from wind and hail. In order to keep them healthy, and at least in the short term, the first step is to cleanse the area around the tree. The tree sap will leave a chemical coating on your car paint and you will need to remove that.
The first step in cleaning the area around the tree is to cleanse the tree itself. Using a tree pruner or a tree shampooer, you can get the sap flowing and then scrub the tree for about 20 minutes. If you don’t have pruning equipment, you can soak your car in a bucket of water for 30 seconds and then scrub the tree for about 15 minutes.
The sap will still leave a chemical coating on your car, but now that it is cleaned, it will be easy to remove. But if you do get a sap stain, you will need to remove the chemical coating as well. In other words, the first step to removing sap stains is to remove the chemical coating.
The sap stain is caused by the sap becoming trapped on the tree and causing a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction, along with the sap, forms a protective coating that prevents the sap from spreading to the trunk of the tree. The chemical coating takes up to 6-8 weeks to disappear, so be on the lookout for stains on your car in the next few months.

Like most cars, your car’s trunk is one of the most visible places on your vehicle, so look at your trunk for years to come with a paint chip or stain. Even if you don’t have a trunk-mounted anti-static system that prevents the sap from spreading to the rest of the body, it’s always a good idea to inspect your trunk periodically.
One thing to note is that sap can be a great way to protect your roof from saltwater intrusion. If the sap has been hanging around your car for a couple weeks without being fully absorbed into the roof, you might want to put some tar on it. This will actually prevent the sap from drying and cracking, which is the only reason it spreads in the first place. This is especially helpful if you live in a dry climate.
Some people also suggest that a good way to prevent sap from growing is to paint the trunk in a nice color. This will keep it from drying out.
You can actually paint the trunk in a color that will stop the sap from drying out. This can be an easy DIY project, so I recommend taking your car to a car wash and getting it waxed and cleaned.
This is a very common mistake people make when they’re painting their own car. The sap will collect around the edges of the paint and start to dry, but if you don’t put a coat of wax on the trunk, it will just dry and crack on the trunk.
