Use some bug and tar remover, and then wax.

The above suggestions are correct. I'm not sure if a clay bar will do the trick on tree sap, but it wont hurt your car if you use one.

The first step you should take though is to stop parking your car under trees that will drip sap on it.

Removes tree sap like warm butter.

Don't scratch it off and don't use a clay bar.
