Its my thinking that the salt being on the car gives it a chance to get wet and start corroding. I hope I'm right in trying to keep the salt off the car (even under body). I've since gotten many compliments on how nice my paint looks for being 7 years old, but at the same time, I notice every little imperfection and it drives me nuts. I spend 5-6 hours cleaning in the summer because I'm never really satisfied.

But for the sap, yeah - I will try to get the area cleaned up with a good polish, but if it doesn't work, I'll be sure to post good pictures. I should've probably paid more attention to getting ALL of it off right after it got on the car.

Thanks for the help!
Good luck and keep us posted with your results!
