Hellooo everybody! Sooo, being the lazy person that I am, I decided to leave tree sap on my car practically forever until it crystalized. Well, it decided to eat through my clear coat and I now have tree sap spots on my paint. Is there anything I can do besides getting a new paint job to maybe fill or lessen the ugly appearance? Thanks.

try Scratch x first- it might just be etching. Scratch X takes care of etching after at least 3 coats, and make sure to rub HARD.

I forgot to add that you'll have to wax the spots that were scratch x'd.

And don't leave tree sap, bugs, or bird poop on your paint, especially not for forever!

Yea, thanks for the advice, but I think i'm screwed. I went to go get my car detailed this past weekend and told them to try to buff it out as well, but it literally ate through my layer of clear coat so I was told. Only recommendations I got was to repaint or try to go and get clear coated. : (
