Tree sap removal

Mayonnaise works good for pine tree sap.

isopropyl or rubbing alcohol.

I just left it there. It doesn't hurt anything and the cleaning may do more harm than good. Takes about a year for it to dry up and chip off easily.

Times two...

I had tree sap all over my mobile solarium display trailer. Had to get rid of it as it was a sales tool and people looked at it.

Tried every product I could find. Nothing worked well without damaging the surface of my see through roof panels.

I was doing a homeshow one year and found a display booth in the same show for a product called Enviro Orange. Not sure what was in it but it was highly concentrated and removed tree sap like it was nothing. Best I've ever seen. I went back and bought about 8 - 1 liter bottles of it.

Don't know if they are still in business though. I think the distribution place was in Chilliwack BC.

Long version... look at the chemical material you are planning to use. Most manufactures have their msd's posted, then look at the chemical(s) for compatibility with TPO.

What Scott said.

BTW while it is up there it helps protect the roof. :B

I haven't needed to do it yet, but a friend uses GoJo non abrasive hand cleaner

Camp fuel safely removes it from paint, not sure about your roof though...
