How do I keep the resin from my pine tree from eating the paint off my car?
My Crown Victoria had a beautiful paint job when I got it. One day it had a small spot on the hood which lead to the entire car being eaten alive. I live near a chemical plant which I thought had done this. The man at the paint shop said it was the resin off the pine tree. My Honda has a sealer on it that protects it. I'm getting another vehicle from my daughter soon. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this from happening again? Please don't say to cut the tree because I can't afford to do that. I called two paint shops today and one said they could put something on it and the other place said there was nothing you could do. Thank you for anyone that can give me a home remedy.

Well first of all in the mean time, you need to move your car or at least wash it regularly so the resin doesn't do more damage. I used to have the same problem but the resin I was getting washed off with warm or hot water. My parents also have the same problem with redwoods and the red little berries that fall and stain lighter color cars. We found this sap remover that works good: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://glaz...
Also, try goo-gone. Goo-gone works really well at getting sticky stuff off.
Good luck!

Why not just put up one of those instant garages with the aluminum frame and fabric covering to keep the sap away from your car? There are many different kinds available. See link below for an example:

could you put your car some where else?
or you could get a car porch or some thing to cover the car
