Pine pitch

[onmysecond]

Anyone have any tips to get pine pitch off? Its all over my truck after Ike came through the other night.

Maybe Pat from Adams products will chip in....You may want to post a link to this thread in the ADAMS forum as well...

I had the same problem once.

My solution:

1. Take chunks off with an old credit card edge sprayed with clay bar solution (be careful not to scratch your paint)

2. Use clay bar and solution to get the fine layer left behind

3. Use a scratch remover/wax to hide fine scratches and protect the paint.


It seemed to do well for me, but let me tell you it was not fun. There was quite a bit of elbow grease involved and lots of fowl language being used.

Good luck!

Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover

I did try that on a Jeep at work and it was ok but didnt get everything

I had some on my truck from parking under a tree that had some broken branches thanks to Ike and I used some of that Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover and it worked geat. You just have to spay it on and let it sit for about a minute then wipe it off. It took everything off mine.

whatever i end up doing i plan on waxing it after. i do believe that the bug and tar remover takes the wax off when you use it. just to let you know.

oh yes i clay barred and waxed after i used it. just to be sure i got everything and i wasnt too sure about if that stuff stripped wax or not.

Well I got one of our vehicles done today. Bug and tar then waxing. came out good but was a lot of work. and this is the small one! lol. shoulda done a before pic too but the hood was covered in pitch.
