Pine trees, big holly trees, oak trees mainly... and it gets this black powder dust junk on it and it is a pain to get off. Also, I have a few grease/grime hand/fingerprint spots I got on there and I need to get off. Any suggestions? triead my auto washign soap... dish washing soap...

DOT 3 Brake fluid will take road tar off your truck without messing up the paint.. it also works great for getting black permenent marker off of computer monitors, as well as sticky tree sap drippings off vehicles.

you could scrub the truck down with Bon-Ami great for the glass too ,then a good wash and wax job //keeping it waxed will help reduce staining
