By the time I've (hopefully!) removed all those little spots, I'll need some of 
that "good" IPA to finish he job, Dwight. [:o)

Thanks, Clay, 
It isn't sap, it's some sort of very soft objects not more than 3/4" long that 
sort of break up when you squeeze them; possibly oak.

Thanks, Dan.
Hopefully something will work since it's a near perfect finish.

Re: [MBZ] Tree stains on 240D

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

I vote for peanut butter to remove the sap.

As for stain, I am not sure what will be best.  I would at least try a dilute 
hydrogen peroxide solution, as that might do a number on the organic compounds 
without eating into the paint.  Clay Bar is what I would chase that with to 
remove the really small organic stuff.  Follow that with a very light 
correcting fluid and wax/sealant

Re: [MBZ] Tree stains on 240D

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I would start with some 50-50 mix of IPA (not beer, isopropyl alcohol) and 
water and if that doesn’t phase it, 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, 08984. 
You can often find it at WalMart or at a good NAPA for sure.

You’ll have to re-wax the area you clean, but that’s a small price to pay to 
get the stuff off the finish.

[MBZ] Tree stains on 240D

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

Listers,
While a project was ongoing in the shop, I parked the '83 240D out in the open 
away from the trees. During the night a 30+ mile-per-hour wind came through and 
blew bits of sap or whatever its called all over the car which left reddish 
stains on the light tan finish. I washed the car but the stains remained. These 
small bits of soft material probably came from oak trees since that is the 
commonest kind here; although it could have come from other kinds since it was 
a very strong wind.
The last waxing with 3M Show Car Wax (Thanks Dan!) is still intact.

The internet provides every possible solution imaginable; for example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=oak+stains+car+finish=utf-8=utf-8=firefox-b-1-ab

What to do?

Thanks,
Gerry
