I had to use gas to get the sap off. The interior had an entire lawn bag full of trash, I've never seen such disrespect for a car.
Patpur, if you run into this again-use turpentine to remove pine sap. Turp is made from pine tar and is the most efficient solvent for it. And a bit safer.
Mr. Lama came to see me yesterday (just to wish me happy old age. Punk!) and he is very proud of his work. And rightly so. He appreciates how good a clean, new appearing car can make one feel.
Kudos, kid!
