Jul 29, 2002 8:53 AM | | There's a few kinds of sap depending on the tree it came from. If you are lucky, it's the water-soluble type. I try water first. If not, then I use Goof-Off. It works great, but be careful, it is pretty strong stuff. |

Jul 29, 2002 9:04 AM | | I heard about this years ago and was pretty skeptical until I had the occasion to try it. It really does work and is about the best thing I have found for removing tree sap, from skin and hair anyway. Not sure about how the WD-40 will react with your shorts or the car seat fabric. Try it in a small inconspicuous area first. |
