Tree Sap

Tree sap is one of the toughest environmental contaminants to remove from a vehicle’s paint finish, and among the most damaging. When tree sap residue comes in contact with a vehicle’s untreated painted surface, it transforms into a thick, glue-like resin. Short term, this resin can alter a vehicle’s factory clearcoat by leaving a discolored patch or stain behind in its wake. Long term, the sun’s U.V. rays strengthen the bond formed between the tree sap residue and the vehicle’s untreated painted surface by baking the sap into the paint, which over time can etch and crack the finish, causing permanent damage.

ECP’s patented Diamond Ceramic Exterior Protection® is the first ever long-term protective coating to combine nano diamonds with ceramic technology. Together, these two technologies maintain 97.8% of your vehicle’s gloss and shine over 7 years, while filling in the open pores of the factory painted surfaces to prevent even the most acidic environmental contaminants – such as tree sap resin – from etching and altering the clearcoat. Diamond Ceramic Exterior Protection® also contains a broad spectrum U.V. inhibitor to prevent these acidic substances from baking into the vehicle’s paint. The result is a smooth, reflective paint finish free from environmentally induced cosmetic blemishes.
