How do you remove pitch from your new truck?

[Debra in Cali]

I got tree pitch on my new truck over the weekend during a camping trip. What do you use to get it off? One person suggested freezing it with an ice cube then rubbing off the hardened blob. Has anyone tried this?

are you talking about tree sap?

 

Have you tried a clay bar?

Try some WD-40 on a rag. Rub gently and see if it will take it off. After you're done, wash with Dawn and wax / seal.

Sap from trees. Where I come from, we also call it pitch.

Try baby oil. Depending on the 'pitch / sap' the oil will soften it. Wash and polish afterwards as usual

Well I did try the ice method, and it did work. It didn't take all of it off in some areas, but it did take the majority of it off. I am back (this afternoon) from playing campground host for the season. Off to the car wash to get my truck cleaned. It is filthy inside and out. Hopefully the staff at the car wash won't faint when they see it.

Try Goo Gone then follow up with clay.......

After claying you need to Polish (if needed) then apply wax or a sealant,, that will help if you get anymore sap from sticking so bad.

Goo Gone for autos, followed by a soapy wash. Worked for me just a few weeks ago. Takes some time and some light scrubbing, but got it off.
