Sap - be careful where you park!

Postby langdang » Tue May 04, 2010 11:44 am

Just a reminder that trees that have been minding their own business all winter are now producing plenty of sap...
Didn't even think of it the other night when I parked up in town for a few hours, but next day there was spots of sap all over the car, came off easy enough but sometimes it can be a pain..

Oh now.. How do you know a sap tree from a non sap tree??!! We wont mention Cherry Blossoms gorgeous flowers getting everywhere, or trees where birds roost!! :) So how can you get it off if you get caught out, since you've experienced it before, thanks!

Came off handy enough - warm water and Turtle wax car shampoo, bit of elbow grease.
We might have just been lucky that some trees less nasty sap than others, but which is which I don't know...
