ahh tried both. not good.. its like it clings onto the surface.

i might have to go simple green or some castrol engine degreaser.

I just ran into the same problem. I used bug/tar removal and it worked for the most part. I learned not to let something like that sit for awhile. Remove it right away.

please suggest a brand?? i've tried so much...


i thought wd40 was strong, but this damn mango sap kills.

you could try isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. it's worked for me in the past.

maybe i'll spend 1 evening trying stuffs..

thanks though..
