While visiting the Red River (NM) car show last Sat, I found a great place to park my brand-spankin'-new Ultra outa' the sun and under the shade of a tree. Unfortunately, the tree took a whiz on my bike and I now have zillions of tiny droplets of tree sap on the windshield and fairing. Anybody know how to get this stuff off without scratching the plastic or removing paint in the process? I've tried the Harley windshield cleaner....won't touch it. I tried Harley spray wax...no go. I even tried mineral spirits......no results.

 

Hammer and chisel.&nbsp\\;

I would try some paste wax instead of the spray.

 

try goop off or wd40 or polishing compound

 

I have used a clay bar to remove stuff that chemicals would not budge.

 

I would not wax over it by any means.....You might try Dawn dish soap
but don't put wax on something your trying to get off!&nbsp\\;

 

I would not use Polishing Compound.
If the sap is dry/hard, try picking it off with your fingernail. If there are too many spots, try Bug 'n Tar remover. Available at your local auto parts store or Walmart.

 

goo-gone

 

get some turpentine and try a little on a hidden spot, I don't think it will hurt the paint but I've never tried it on my bike.&nbsp\\;I have used it to get sap off my truck and it did ok but you might want to try it first where it won't show.

 

soap and water

WD 40
