How to Clean Tree Sap From a Car Window

Cleaning sap off of car windows as soon as possible.

Tree sap is made from sugars produced by trees. Tree sap on a car window gets more difficult to remove the longer it is on the window. Parking a car under a maple tree or some pine trees can cause the window to become filthy with sap. To avoid this problem, be aware of what kind of tree the car is parked under.

Things You'll Need

• Bug and tar remover
• Rag
• Paper towels
• Window cleaner

Instructions

1. Pour a small amount of bug and tar remover onto the rag. Rub the remover on the sap until comes off.

2. Continue this process until all of the sap has been removed from the car window.

3. Spray window cleaner on the windshield. Wipe dry with paper towels.
