Tree Sap Removal
Parking under a tree might offer shade, but it often leaves behind a damaging reminder: sticky, stubborn tree sap. More than just an annoyance, sap is acidic. When left to bake in the sun, it bonds with your car's clear coat, leading to permanent etching and costly paint defects that diminish your vehicle's appearance and value. Attempting to scrub it off can easily scratch or haze the finish, turning a small problem into a much bigger one.
Our professional tree sap removal service is the correct and safe solution. We use specialized, pH-neutral solvents that are formulated to gently dissolve the sap's bond without harming your vehicle's paint, glass, or trim.

Tree Sap Removing Process
How To remove Tree Sap From Cars
Our tree sap removal process is methodical and designed for one purpose: to safely restore your vehicle’s finish without causing any damage. We bring our mobile setup directly to you, making the entire experience convenient and transparent from start to finish. You'll know exactly what to expect as we carefully treat each area on your car.
01
Schedule Your Appointment
Contact us to book your service. We will ask a few questions about the extent of the sap coverage on your vehicle to understand the situation and schedule a time that works best for you at your home or office.
02
On-Site Assessment
Our detailer will arrive at your location at the scheduled time. We begin with a careful inspection of all affected surfaces to confirm the severity of the sap and map out the most effective treatment plan for your specific vehicle.
03
Targeted Sap Dissolving
The first step in treatment is applying a specialized, pH-neutral solvent. This professional-grade solution is designed to safely soften and dissolve the hardened tree sap, breaking its bond with your car's clear coat without any harsh chemical impact.

Gentle Decontamination
Once the sap has softened, we use a clay bar to gently lift the residue from the surface. This meticulous process ensures all contaminants are removed from the paint, glass, and trim without the aggressive scrubbing that causes scratches.
05
Final Walkthrough and Review
Once the service is complete, your technician will invite you to a final walkthrough of your restored vehicle. Our goal is for you to drive away not just in a clean car, but with a smile, fully satisfied with the premium care provided.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Harrison, from Berger Mobile Detailing just finished my Diamond Exterior Detailing. He is such a professional & gentleman.
His prices were better than most for his top-quality work. Just look at my chrome wheel covers; they look like new & so does the whole car! I give him 5 STARS & will definitely use him in the future. I didn't take a "before" pic, but it's never been detailed before today.
It hasn't been washed since 2022, was parked outside under a tree with lots of leaf debris baked into the finish & chrome wheels black with tarnish. Trust me, he's amazing! Thank you, Harrison, for making my car GLEAM!
I just moved to DC recently. I have never had my car detailed before and was referred to Berger Mobile Detailing by my coworker. Scheduling was easy, Great Customer Service and Excellent Results. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided and grateful to be driving in a clean car again!
I’ve had a professional and quality experience with Berger Mobile Detailing. They came to my job and saved me a lot of time and effort. I didn’t worry about going to a car wash and having to clean my car myself. Apart from that the detailers were very nice and professional. The best part about Berger Mobile Detailing is there 100% satisfaction guaranteed. They are willing to come back and redo the job if I didn’t like the quality, but fortunately I didn’t have to because they were great!
I can’t say enough good things about Berger Mobile Detailing! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Mr. Berger came right on time.
What impressed me most was not just how spotless and shiny the cars turned out, but also the professionalism, friendliness, and pride he clearly takes in his work. He went above and beyond, paying attention to every little detail that most people would overlook. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated and passionate about what they do.
I needed a mobile detailer because of my work schedule. I hired Berger Mobile Detailing because of the reviews here on Google. Harrison was wonderful to work with. My car is a custom color Audi and I wanted quality work.
They did a very thorough detailing inside and out, using my garage as needed. The car looks amazing, the interior looks brand new and they didn't use anything that smelled perfumy or chemically which I really appreciated. The paint is slick and shiny and there's no wax in the cracks. Their work is excellent. I'm extremely happy and will use them again.
Never gotten my car detailed before, saw the reviews on Berger and gave them a try. I was so impressed by the quality of the work, my car looked like it just came off the lot inside and out. Also loved the level of professionalism and communication from Harrison. Very friendly and motivated business man. I am definitely sold on getting my car detailed more often and not letting anyone else touch my car but Harrison.

Tree Sap Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Is tree sap really that bad for my car's paint?
Absolutely. Tree sap is acidic and can quickly bond to your car's clear coat, leading to permanent etching if not addressed. The longer it bakes in the sun, the more difficult it is to remove and the higher the risk of lasting damage to your finish.
Can I remove baked-on tree sap myself?
We strongly advise against it. DIY methods often involve aggressive scrubbing or the use of harsh chemicals that can easily scratch or haze your paint. Our professional sap removal service utilizes specialized solvents and techniques, such as clay bar treatment, to safely dissolve and lift sap without harming your vehicle.
What does your professional tree sap removal process involve?
Our process is meticulous and safe for your paint. We start by applying a pH-neutral, specialized solvent to soften the sap. Then, we use a clay bar to gently lift the residue, followed by a final polish of the area to restore a perfectly smooth, glossy surface.
How long does it take to remove all the sap from a car?
The time required depends on the severity of the condition. A few spots might only need an additional 30 minutes to detail, while a vehicle heavily coated in sap could take an hour or more to treat appropriately and ensure the paint is fully decontaminated.
Will your service get sap off my windows and trim too?
Yes, our methods are safe and effective for removing tree sap from all exterior surfaces, including glass, chrome, and plastic trim, as well as paint. We ensure every affected part of your vehicle is carefully cleaned and restored.
