Interior and Exterior Cleaning

Two cleaning questions for my 2002 Camry:

- Any idea how to get tree sap off of the painted exterior? I used a razor blade to get it off the windows.

- We had a red candle melt and spill in our backseat (cloth interior). Any idea how to get that out? We've got a very...attractive...pink splotch back there right now.

Thanks!

Haha, I know the feeling, my daughter left her crayons in my wife's Honda...now the back seat looks like Rainbow Bright sat back there. I got the car detailed and shampoo'd but that barely worked.

A claybar might work.

For the candle wax, try a brown bag, (like from the grocery store) and a clothes iron on medium heat. The iron will heat up the wax and the brown bag will absorb the iquid wax.

Google, brown bag iron candle wax, or something like that for more info.

Almost forgot, in case it wasn't obvious, the brown bag goes over the area with the wax and apply the warm iron on top of the brown bag.
