Remove Tree Sap From Your Paint

Removing tree sap (Gummosis as defined by Wikipedia) from your car's paint is generally a very difficult and time consuming task. Here are some tips and tools that are very effective and safe ways to remove tree sap.

1) You need to remove the bulk of the sap from the paint without damage to your paint. The most effective and safe method is to use a wood paint stirring stick. These are the flat wood sticks given to you free every time you buy house paint. These work well because they are soft enough to not seriously scratch the paint yet they have nice edges that can grab the sap and scrape it off. Be careful not to get too aggressive with your scraping if you care about the paint.With enough force, you could do some damage to your paint.

2) Remove the remaining residue with full strength Simple Green or Goo Gone. I have purchased a number of Tar and Sap removers that are made for this but so far, I have found full strength Simple Green or Goo Gone to do a better job and seems to be safe for your paint. Now, this does take a fair amount of rubbing with pressure to completely remove the remains of the sticky sap. Use a soft clean rag or cloth and apply the Simple Green to the cloth, then rub like crazy! An old sock works well.

3) Finally, apply a cleaner wax to the entire area that you worked on. In many cases, this is a number of areas on your roof trunk and hood because you parked under a nasty tree that was raining sap onto your car. With that, you should probably go ahead and wax the entire car... What else are you going to do on a Sunday afternoon? You may need to use a mild rubbing compound or a cleaner wax with a mild abrasive to eliminate any minor scratches created from step 1.

Gummosis on your windows - The easy part.

Any tree sap on your windows is easily removed with a razor blade. This is the easy part because you can scrape it all off in one pass without a worry of damaging the glass. Make sure to use a razor blade holder so that you do not cut your finger off and really make it a bad day!

Defensive Driving - Getting Behind The Wheel With Caution

People who drive for a living - limo drivers, bus drivers, taxi drivers - often undergo defensive driving as part of their professional development. But, defensive driving doesnt have to be limited to driving professionals: everyone can benefit from learning how to drive defensively. Driving defensively wont assure that you are never on the receiving end of a fender bender, but it can help to decrease your chances of calling the police, a tow trunk, and your insurance agent.

Watch Intersections
Intersections are a prime place for accidents. From people trying to beat a yellow light to those who flat out run reds, intersections are where danger often intersects with safety. Defensively speaking, accidents cant always be avoided at intersections, but using caution when approaching may help to decrease the risk. The best way to do this is to make sure those who have a red light are actually stopping. When your light turns green, instead of gunning it right away, take a few moments to glance from side to side, making sure the cars with a red light realize they have one.

Be Careful in Bad Weather
Driving defensively in bad weather may take a back seat to driving offensively. After all, you might be busy simply making sure you dont cause a wreck. But being aware of the cars around you can also help reduce the chances of a fender bender. In icy, snowy, or slushy weather, its best to assume cars will slide. At intersections, stop signs, or parking lots, drivers may find themselves pressing on the brakes, only to realize they are not stopping. Always assume that they arent; before you proceed through an intersection or a stop sign, make sure that another car isnt going to slide right through.

Be Weary of Those Who Swerve
We all know not to drink and drive. But, unfortunately, some people dont heed this law. They get behind the wheel after three drinks or twenty and take to the roadways. Their logic, vision, and reaction time are all compromised, making them an ideal person to cause an accident. There is no real way for you, the defensive driver, to avoid them. Drunk drivers are on the road at all times of day in all places of the world. They can sometimes be spotted easily, swerving inside their lane or into other peoples lanes. If you spot someone swerving, maintain a safe distance at all times, then call the police and report them.

Assume Everyone Around you is a Poor Driver
Sure, it may seem unfair, assuming that everyone your on the road with is a bad driver, but making this assumption forces you to use caution, which makes you defensive by nature. If you assume that everyone around you is distracted or driving with a suspended license, you keep a watchful eye on them, preparing yourself to react quickly when you need to.

Defensive driving is a key component to driving safely. While you dont want to be so defensive that you fail to be offensive, and become one of the poor drivers you fear, defensive driving and offensive driving go hand in hand. The best offense is a good defense, even when automobile safety is concerned.
