This client brought me a beautiful Toyota Celica that had a very unfortunate date with a sick pine tree.
I have never seen pine sap so thick before. The gooey mess was super difficult to remove from the roof, rear window, trunk, quarter panels and bumper. It took hours to remove it all with a combination of chemicals and various tools.
Once all the sap was removed I got to work on giving the car a much needed bath to include the door jams, fuel fill and the trunk jam as well as it was obvious it was collecting a lot of debris from the same tree that defiled the car in the first place.
Next came a solid polish which really made the paint pop like it should. And lastly, a good, solid coat of ceramic-infused wax to keep this work protected for about 6 months.
One of the most challenging vehicles I've had in the shop. But nothing has left without my stamp of approval that the best that could be done, has been done!
