You must wash your car immediately and then try using a good wax.

REALLY hot water and a soft sponge do NOT scrub hard.

and dont rub it in
as you move across the sap rotate the sponge upward
curl it like this

start flat __ then _/ then )
do that as you move over it
if that dosent work, get some remover for it.
