I have two big pines right on my driveway where I park. My cars got covered in pitch. I tried everything: pinesol, simple green, assorted other cleaners. Nothing worked. I even found my wife using the edge of a plastic utensil to scrape it off. (Stopped that guck.)

I got rear ended and asked the guy at the body shop what they use. He said they use rubbing alcohol. One cloth with alcohol, one soaked in water.

I started using it and it works great with the exception that there is always some carryover that looks like a haze around the spot you cleaned. I found that if you use a little cleaner wax on the hazed area it takes it right off.

The only real answer is a garage or a car cover. I bought a car cover but my wife wouldn’t put it on. “Too much work”. And using the alcohol & wax isn’t?
