kind of an obvious tip: Remove tree sap with tree sap remover. Next video idea: Wax car with car wax, or clean glass with glass cleaner.

Ok, but how do you remove love stains?

lacquer thinner works, but you want to wipe n shine to remove excess lacquer thinner then wax over area.

Can someone tell where i can buy that bottle he is holding. i typed "tree sap remover budco" on Google and it got no results. There is no way in hell i would use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover or razor blade. It's way too risky.

@IMaximusDMI get a GIRLFRIEND then you won't have to make love to your car and get stains all over it.

Rubbing alcohol works wonders on tree sap, I have a white vehicle and at least 20 spots where tree sap had dripped all over it. So you can imagine my disdain when I look at my car and its covered in yellow stains lol. However, just today I took some rubbing alcohol and a soft rag, and got every single stain off in about 5 minutes. I wouldn't waste my money on any product out there, rubbing alcohol cost 98 cents, and its all you'll need.

@IMaximusDMI get the love juice all over the car so the car will be covered evenly.

Try putting regular car gasoline....it actually works!!!!!!! just make sure you put a little bit on and then just remove....it also help clean your headlights from dirt......

good vid!

I use Meguires quick detailer polish, This stuff makes it easy to remove stains and sap with little effort. It is not a wax but a polish and very easy to put on just spray on and wipe off it lasts longer than anything i have seen.
