it didn't remove the tree sap as it said. I put it on and kept it there for about 5-10 minutes. Nothing came off. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know, but you could use WD40 by spraying it directly on the tree sap and let it absorb for a few minutes, then use rag to gently lift off the sap. You may need to repeat. A note of caution, do not rub the finish too hard when lifting the sap after a few minutes, as this may remove the car finish. Foloow up with a good car wax to get the lustre back. Another thing that may help is to apply hand sanitizer on the sap and to let it sit a few minutes. Then rub with a clean cloth and the sap should dissolve right off. Good luck.

You are not doing anything wrong.....hhhmmmm. If this stuff is not working then I recommend you go and get these two items....carburetor cleaner OR WD-40. I had a few spots that were tough to get off on my car and the carburetor cleaner took it right now. Oh, and it won't damage any painted or plastic areas. If you don't feel comfortable with that try the WD-40. Let it set for a couple of minutes and then try to wipe off. I hope this helps!

I returned and refunded it. It's toxic. Why poison the kid? I did air it out and even washed it but it made no difference. Get rid of it!

That's an interesting point, not sure about that. I did try to wipe it off between uses. (I was setting it out at night during the winter and I even considered that a rat wouldn't want to step on cold metal?!) I didn't catch anything either; the bait wasn't disturbed so they weren't even entering the trap. If I use it again I'll try leaving the power off and put the bait near the opening for a while- then move it back each time till they get used to it. Then I'll try turning it on.

Cut whatever tree you want to kill to ground level, drill some nice fat holes in it (just don't drill through the wood and into dirt...obviously), and pour this undiluted into the holes. I also cover the holes with tape to prevent evaporation/dilution. The stump will soak it all up and die! :DI used this product in this manner to great effect on a Brazillian Pepper tree stump that was around a foot in diameter. I drilled about ten holes. Being the second time I cut the tree down to the ground, I wanted to be sure this time. One month later, there is no new growth like there was before.In short, yes, but don't be lazy about it and do it right ONE TIME. This stuff works!

Didn't apply too much; problem is that you didn't remove it all. The finish should be smooth as silk and super bright. This is a CLEANER and a polish. It takes a lot of work to remove it all. Use a very soft cloth, but you will need to rub hard, and concentrate on one small area at a time. Also, don't let it get wet for 24 hours; it has to "cure". All worth it, though.

It won't clean any of it. These products are homeowner gimmicks. Most say your roof will come clean in 3 or more months, or your $ back. After 90 days, the store you bought it in, won't refund you. Now try to get your $ back from the company LOL I am a professional roof cleaner and have tried many of these new gimmick products and not 1 has worked so far. Just a waste of time, effort and $$$

Not that I've seen, I used it on my all my bonsai trees 2 times and no buildup or clog was present.

Sorry - mine came off easily. Maybe put it in your freezer for an hour then try it, and if that doesn't work put it in the sun until it's hot then try it. I started using mine without the diffuser and on medium power it's got a beam of the intensity of the diffuser, but just narrower.

No, sorry. I will say that when I used it, it left a sticky residue that lasted for over a week....and it didn't seem to repel anything.

Hi my friend, tell me about it!!! Worst product! Had the same problem with my new car. I finally took it to a car wash, and used a wand. By getting it wet, it became soft and pliable, allowing me to grab pieces at a time and tear it off. A lot of it peeled off just from the high water pressure. Sad product! It still takes time, but it will come off. Good luck!

I haven't done it, but you might try carefully scraping it off with an exacto knife and/or maybe some acetone. Good luck.

Three or four years ago the maple tree in our front yard looked as if it was crying: long streaks of sap were running down the trunk all over the place. I asked a tree expert about it and was told that it was nothing to worry about. It was spring, the sap was just beginning to travel up the trunk, and anywhere there happened to be an opening in the bark the sap was oozing out. I have no idea if that is what's going on with your oak tree. But before you go spraying it with anything, I would definitely find someone to ask about it. Go to your local agricultural extension agent and see if they can help you. (Our tree is in perfect shape today, by the way. No harm done.)

Hi, It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.

Yes it should, but it won't instantly dissolve the sap. It might require several application and you will have to keep it in contact with the sap while its doing its dissolution.

I believe the directions also say to never remove the caps once they're put on. It sounds like you've not followed the directions. If I were you, I'd contact the manufacturer and ask them what to do. Also if I were you, I'd read the directions more carefully next time. :)

If any product can remove tree sap and dried bird dropping, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound can. Of course, there is no guarantee. That is what I would use.

I used Goo Gone. I sprayed it on and let it soak in for a few minutes, then washed it off.
