Some tree sap dripped onto the paint and the black plastic wheel arch molding on my MCS, any suggestions on how to get it off?

Thanks!

goo gone. if there are remains, use claybar or scratchx on the body panel. wax afterwards.

if on the plastic arch, try some WD40 then wash off with carsoap. sauce
afterwards.

oh. 'sauce' is a generic term for rubber/vinyl/plastic protective fluids like Meguiars vinyl and rubber protectant.

sauce is also used for cremes and protective fluids for leathers too.
just a real generic term. :smile:

Ah, gotcha. When I hear "sauce," I think alcohol.
