Water Stain on Front Windshield
FYI burny, did you happen to purchase clay lube along with the clay bar? If you don't it will not work.
http://www.autogeek.net/tree-sap-remover.html this also works.. I didn't go on this site to find it, i kind of googled it, but I've heard this stuff's boss
That'a amazing btw bigblack, does this work for grease-stains?
I know, but you know how it is when you start doing the process, you'll end up getting vinegar on the vital parts (like paint and plastic) so it's better to be safe than sorry
. for me, i'd just stick to some good ole clay bar, hand polishing on the glass, seal and wax for long term beading action.!

Well you might think this wouldnt work but best way is to grab a wooden spoon and some hand sanitizer and some flat cotton *****. Basically you scrub it a little and it takes the sap off. I didnt believe it but tried it myself, and it got rid of the sap. Look on youtube and you will find some videos on it.
clay bar most likely won't work, i tried clay bar the heck out of it....still there until today :\ a bit annoying.
i'm gonna try bigblack06 suggestion later....hand sanitizer huh ? interesting..

Alcohol is used as a solvent to dissolve tree sap. So a spray bottle full of alcohol or just some hand sanitizer, it doesn't matter, both work very well It is also used as a prep in car detailing when prepping to do a coat of sealant.http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/tree...e-tree-sap.htm
"For instance, one of the most common household items for removing sap is rubbing alcohol. Alcohol acts as a solvent, breaking up sap and dissolving it."
All in all, great find bigblack!

To report back, I tried rubbing alcohol on the windshield without much improvement, but clay bar took the stuff right off. I went ahead and clay bar'd my entire car and did two layers of wax. Finally, for the first time after the rear-ending 6 weeks ago, did I feel my car is back to a point where I can enjoy it once again!
Thanks for all the help.

hehe, enjoy it! Wait until you get deep into detailing (especially with stuff like sealant). It will be painstaking to do the process in 2 days, but well worth the wait as that stuff will give you protection for a whole year!
