Mango sap

[Garlic]

Hi guys,

 

Does anyone have any experience with dried/hardened mango sap on car paint? My car's bonnet got attacked by mango sap and its a bitch to remove, the sap is hardended like superglue. Tried claybar, a variety of compounds including PG and the is still there.

 

Last resort would be to perform wet sanding.

 

Thanks

try autoglym intensive tar remover. even gets rid of black sticky road tar, double sided tape marks et cetera.

 

put some on a small piece of tissue or fabric, then put the saturated thing on the spot for like 10-15mins.

the idea is to saturate the grime with the autoglym remover. then the grime just wipes out easy

 

that stuff hassnt failed me yet. i hope it works for you.

Thanks for the replies, the sap has hardened like super glue.

 

Managed to fix the problem by wet standing, super tedious job.
