Default TREE SAP ON CAR! what do I use to remove it?

I guess I got some sap on the hood of my can and I cannot seem to get it off. What can I use?

Did you try tar removers ? May be such products may work .
BTW, an old school method , just boil a water and pour it onto the hood and gently pull the sap out of hood

Cadi, TAR REMOVERS? Mate, the paint will come off quicker than the tree sap. Just thought I'd mention that. Relocked!

Actually it says online to use that as well...says make sure you wash the car and add wax to wherever you applied it to though...also says alcohol, mineral spirits (paint thinner???) and other weird things on-line...me personally I'd use some hot water or some goo b gone just try in an inconspicuous area first...

Oh yea, put paint thinner on my paint! Right!? I'm leaving this unlocked since it's sure to get more controversy.

I had applied some tar removers onto the chrome trim (rocker molding) and it quickly got the smudge off easily w/o dealing too much .
Locking,unlocking,locking.unlocking lol ...This thread is like a door or remote key fob .Once you press the button it gets locked and the other unlocked

What about just using a clay bar to remove it. Applied with the properQuick Detail solution for lubrication would that not work?

Thought Id say Hi while its unlocked so
"Hi"
PS I think I would probably go for the clay bar, detail solution and wax in the first instance.

Yeah I thought it was crazy to use mineral spirits/paint thinner, alcohol and a bunch of harsh chemicals...I'd just use some hot water and be careful and see if I couldn't just use a finger nail and than wash and wax her up...I won't lock it up as this seems to be a very lively post...
PS the first freaking post I lock gets back unlocked I suck at being a moderator![:'(]

Hey Quil, not trying to overrule mate...LOL! It's all in good spirit. Just hard to leave the post locked at...USE TAR REMOVER ON YOUR PAINT! LMAO! I like the clay bar and then the fingernail idea. Turned out to be a nicely debated thread.
